
Work on electrical equipment must be carried out exclusively by
electricians.

When performing any work on electrical components, the five
safety rules must be adhered to:
– Disconnect from the electrical supply
– Safeguard to prevent a restart
– Test to ensure a de-energised state
– Earth and short-circuit
– Cover or isolate adjacent live parts

Perform regular checks for insulation and housing damage.

Never operate the EdEx thruster with electrical connections that
are faulty or not ready for operation.

If there are power supply faults, the system must be switched off
immediately.

Before any work on electrical components, switch the mains
disconnection thruster off and secure it to prevent it being
switched on again.

It is essential to observe the inspection and maintenance
intervals specified by the manufacturer for electrical components.

All touchable, conductive parts of the system are connected to
the external earthing conductor system. The earthing conductor
system must be inspected after performing maintenance work
(e.g. replacing components).

Some equipment (e.g. mains power units, servo controllers,
converters) with electrical intermediate circuits may store
residual voltage for a certain time after being disconnected.
Before starting work on these systems, check that they are de-
energised.
