Rev. _
Date: February 2011
The installation, commissioning, inspection and maintenance opera-
tions may only be performed by suitably qualified personnel, trained
to work with electrical equipment (hereinafter qualified personnel).
You are reminded that it is mandatory to comply with all safety regu-
lations and standards applicable to electrical work.
The opening of the various compartment enclosures in no way im-
plies that no voltage is present inside. Access is therefore restricted
to qualified personnel, observing the safety conditions established
in this document.
The set of conditions detailed below should be considered to be the
minimum requirements. It is always advisable to disconnect from the
mains. The installation could be faulty, causing undesirable voltage
returns. There is an electrical discharge hazard.
In addition to the safety measures indicated in this manual, any ge-
neral measures that may be applicable should also be taken into ac-
count (installation-specific, country-specific, etc).
According to the basic safety standards and regulations, the elec-
trical installation must not entail fire or explosion hazards. Workers
must be properly protected against the risk of accidents caused by
direct or indirect contact. The electrical installation and the protec-
tive devices must take account of the voltage, all external conditio-
ning factors and the competence of those people having access to
the installation parts.
According to the basic safety standards and regulations, all work
equipment must be adequate for protecting exposed workers against
the risk of direct or indirect contact with electricity. At any event, the
electrical parts of the equipment must comply with the provisions of
the corresponding specific standards and regulations.
According to the basic safety standards and regulations, for voltage
work, all workers performing work in the open air shall stop work in
the event of storms, heavy rainfall, strong winds, snow or any other
unfavourable environmental condition that hinders visibility or the
handling of tools. Work on indoor installations directly connected to
overhead electricity lines must be interrupted in the event of a storm.
