Topic summary

The discussion addresses safety regulations and design requirements for working with a 100V circuit in a class project, focusing on OSHA and NFPA 70E standards. It clarifies that while OSHA regulations primarily cover structural wiring and power stations, specific design standards for electrical equipment safety involve considerations such as creepage and clearance distances, insulation, grounding, and protective measures against human error. Key safety design elements include limiting discharge current, physically isolating hazardous components, and ensuring proper insulation and earthing. Relevant standards from IEC, ISO, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) provide detailed guidelines on these aspects, though they are extensive and often require purchase. Practical advice emphasizes common sense, minimizing exposure to lethal voltages, and using personal protective equipment (PPE). Resources suggested include safety program PDFs on high voltage equipment and working safely around electricity. The term "high voltage" typically refers to voltages much higher than 100V, which may explain the scarcity of direct regulations for this voltage level in design standards.
