Is voltage 15V and current 2A dangerous?

Arthur asks:
Hello, is a current of 2 amperes and 15 volts dangerous?
The answer to the question:
Hello! What current? Permanent or variable?
According to PUE 1.7.53
Protection against indirect contact should be carried out in all cases if the voltage in the electrical installation exceeds 50 V AC and 120 V DC. In rooms with increased danger, especially dangerous and in outdoor installations, protection with indirect contact may be required at lower voltages, for example, 25 V AC and 60 V DC or 12 V AC and 30 V DC if the requirements of the relevant chapters of the EMP are met.
Protection against direct contact is not required if the electrical equipment is in the area of ​​the potential equalization system and the highest operating voltage does not exceed 25 V AC or 60 V DC in rooms without increased danger and 6 V AC or 15 V DC in all cases.
Note. Hereinafter, in the chapter, AC voltage means the rms value of the AC voltage; DC voltage - voltage of direct or rectified current with ripple content not more than 10% of the rms value.

If we talk about alternating current, then values ​​greater than 100 mA are deadly. But more importantly, for what purpose do you ask your question? If you are interested in - can a power supply unit in which such characteristics are indicated be harmful to a person? If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that such a power supply is not dangerous, and the current flowing through the human body is determined according to Ohm's law and at this voltage there will be no current strength of 2 A.
