Depends on the system... mine are split between 60 and 90vac. Some system amps I've worked with are fused at 10 amp (and will blow if you sneeze on them). While others are shunted all the way back to the power supply where you'll find a 20 or 30 amp breaker (and I've seen components melt off the circuit boards when they're shorted).

90vac at 20 or 30 amp will light you up, especially if you're grounded.
