The requirement to use the same wiring precludes the home owner from having an additional low-volate wiring in the house.
Most modern devices use low voltage nowadays, check what any of the power supply units for your laptop, phone, etc output to the device.
Low-volate is less dangerous, and international regulations (IEC 60449) reflect that. I'm not an expert, but it is likely that besides the law discussed here, such wiring would be legal even without approval. It definitely is in Germany, and to say the least, we like regulations.
- jimktrains2 9y agoI'd be surprised if it precluded the use of low voltage wiring because there are standards for it as well. The issue is that the law ends up with houses needing the 120VAC connection to the grid. I don't think that doesn't mean there can't be a secondary low voltage line, but ianal.
