Direct or indirect contact (through damp objects) with a high-voltage power supply (including the main power in a building) can result in fatal danger. When installing the AC power supply, follow standard safety regulations. Personnel who install the AC power supply must be qualified to perform high voltage and AC operations.
Safety Electrical safety Power cable Do not install or remove a power cable with the power on. Even minimal contact between the core of the power cable and the conductor might generate an electric arc or spark, which can cause a fire or injury. Wrap bare wires of the power cable with insulating tape before connecting the cable to the power distribution cabinet.
