Which section of the NEC says Low voltage is safer than high
voltage.

You can quote the verbage here, " "

Mostly stuff about gfci requirements would suit.

I wonder why sidewalk lighting is low voltage?

240vac 2 phase (black, blue and red) number 10 wire lighting?

I never asked if it was low or high.

Your responses are very strange.

I'll ask again.

Which section of the NEC says Low voltage is safer than high
voltage.

Put that sentence here ---" "

Maybe this will solve the misunderstanding.

Assume the load is the same for both, which will cause more
current
to flow, a higher voltage or lower voltage?

If you get the answer correct, my work is done.

"The NEC does not consistently define low voltages."

I had to paint the interior of NEMA-spec control boxes orange if
over
40V was present within them, but I don't remember whose requirement
that was, perhaps one of the many General Motors internal
standards.

The US NEC isn't the only electrical code.

I inferred from his comment that he thought 277 volts was safer
than 120 volts. The part I inferred was 120 volts.

I've been bitten by 120VAC, 480VAC, 700VDC and 40,000VDC and didn't
like any of them. 700VDC from a 10uF cap hurt the worst, like my arm
was on fire.

The 480 line (in from the street) burned a tiny hole and felt like a
splinter rather than a shock. The foreman was better grounded than I
when he had touched it and it knocked him into the rack of hardware
bins, which all avalanched down on him.

The 40,000V was on a piece of disconnected coax, so not a bad shock.
On a dry winter day I can indicate 20,000V on an electrostatic
voltmeter and have to be very careful handling electronics. This
computer desk has a static mat on it.
