High Voltage Safety Precautions
The DRM-100 test set and any device under the test to
which it is connected are possible sources of high-voltage
electrical energy.
Anyone using the test set must take all practical safety
precautions to prevent contact with energized parts of the
equipment and related circuits.
•
Never connect the test set to energized equipment.
•
Do not use the test set in an explosive atmosphere.
•
Stand clear of all parts of the high-voltage circuit,
including all connections, unless the test set is de-
energized and all parts of the test circuit are
grounded.
•
Keep other people away from test activities with
suitable barricades or warnings.
•
Treat all terminals of high-voltage power equipment
as potential electric shock hazards. Voltages may be
induced at these terminals because of proximity to
energized high-voltage lines or equipment.
•
Always disconnect test leads from the power
equipment before disconnecting them at the test set.
The ground connection must be the first made and the
last removed.
•
Wearing rubber gloves is recommended as a routine
safety precaution whenever working with the test set.
•
Maintenance must be performed by qualified
personnel who are familiar with the construction and
operation of the test set and the hazards involved.
