1.2 Safety precautions when working in the vicinity of high-voltage compo‐
nents
Danger to life from high voltage
The high-voltage system is under high voltage. Damage to high-
voltage components can result in severe or fatal injury from
electric shock.
– Perform visual check of high-voltage components and high-
voltage cables.
– Never use cutting or forming tools, or any other sharp-edged
tools.
– Never use heat sources such as welding, brazing, soldering,
hot air or thermal bonding equipment.
1.3 Safety precautions when using testers and measuring instruments during
a road test
