Hazards from electrical power
Electric current
DANGER:
Life Hazard through electrical shock!!
Touching conductive parts causes a direct danger to due to electrical
shock. Damage to the insulation or individual components can mean
danger to life.
Any work required at the electrical system may only be carried out
by a qualified electrician in compliance with electro-technical
regulations.
In case of damage to the insulation, switch off the power supply
immediately and have repairs carried out.
Before starting to work on active parts of electrical systems and
equipment, establish a voltage-free state throughout the duration
of the work, this must take place according to the 5 following safety
regulations:
Activation.
Secure it from being switched on again.
Determine voltage free status.
Earth and short circuit.
Provide protection by covers or barriers for any neighbouring live
parts.
Never attempt to bypass or de-activate fuses or cut-outs. When
replacing fuses or circuit breakers make sure to adhere to the correct
ampere rating. Keep moisture away from live parts.
Stored charge
Danger:
Risk of death due to stored voltage!
Electronic charges could be stored in electric components that still exist
after switching off and disconnecting from power-supply. Contact with
these components can lead to severe injury or even death.
Before starting work disconnect mentioned components from
power-supply. Wait 10 minutes, in
order to assure that the internal capacitors discharge completely.
