What happens here
The electrician points to the panel's rating label (Eaton Heavy Duty Safety Switch) and explains that despite being rated for 400 amps and 600 volts, 600 volts is still considered 'low voltage' in commercial electrical applications. This clarifies that 'low voltage' refers to voltage levels below certain thresholds, typically not residential 120/240V.
Goal: Clarify the definition of 'low voltage' in a commercial electrical context.
