Safety Tips - General Electrical - ID Technology 252 Operator / Technical Manual

6. Safety Tips – General Electrical
1. All electrical/electronic maintenance and service should be performed only by
trained and authorized electricians.
2. Assume at all times that the power is "ON". Treat all conditions as live.
3. To remove load from circuit or equipment, open disconnect or breaker and
lock in open position. For maximum protection, a locked out switch in open
position using a lock for which only one person has the key, prevents anyone
from accidentally turning on the power.
4. Make certain that the circuit is open by using the proper test equipment.
Test equipment must be checked at regular intervals.
5. Give capacitors time to discharge, otherwise discharge manually with care.
6. There may be circumstances where "troubleshooting" on live equipment may
be required. Under such conditions, special precautions must be taken as
follows:
a. Make certain your tools and body are clear of the ground.
b. Take extra safety measures in damp areas.
c. Be alert and avoid any outside distractions.
7. Before applying power to any equipment, make certain that all personnel are
clear of the machine.
8. Open control panel doors only to check out electrical equipment or wiring.
After the panel door is closed, make certain that (on those panels, where
applicable) the disconnect handle mechanism is operating properly.
9. Close all covers on junction panels before leaving any job.
10. Replace fuses only when electrical power is "OFF" (locked out).
