I'd probably go with 'touch voltage'.

I would say so, Michael. Or possibly "contact voltage".

I think the more usual Dutch term is "aanrakingsspanning" (assuming they're the same thing, of course!).
Michael Beijer (asker) Mar 1, 2010:
Hmm Is it perhaps ...'touch voltage'? If so, I feel a little silly now.
