It also distinguishes a panel containing only control circuits from one containing a power circuit.<\/p>\n<p>That is useful context, not a universal exemption for everything labeled \u201c24 VDC.\u201d A purchase specification should name the actual equipment, circuit role, jurisdiction and assessment basis.
