Either type of electricity at high voltages can be dangerous. That’s why the EMerge Standard only allows 24 Volt DC at the point of use. 24 Volt DC power is significantly safer than any line voltage AC system (such as 120 Volt AC wall outlets or 277 Volt AC branch distribution). This is why it is allowed for use without significant restriction/protection by the National Electrical Code and is recognized by UL and other regulatory entities.
