Electrical Hazards and Sources of Danger
Risk of death by
electrical shock!
Risk of injury from
falling or being thrown
across the room after an
electrical shock!
Burns due to arcing
caused by short circuit!
Contact with energized components can lead to death or severe injury by elec-
trical shock. There is also a risk of injury from shock reactions, falling or being
thrown across the room as a result of an electrical shock.
Work on the following components is dangerous:
Main power supply
Electrically live components: Power feed, cables, connections, conductor rail,
connectors, current collectors, devices and connections within switching
cabinets, control systems, etc.
Parts that have become live due to a fault
Before
working
on the parts listed above:
Switch off the powers supply
of the conductor rail system according
to the 5 safety rules and
secure it against being switched on again
.
For the 5 safety rules, see Section
During work:
Use insulated tools
Before switching on:
Every time before the system is started, test the insulation resistance
according to locally applicable technical standards, directives and legal
regulations.
Carry out locally required electrical tests.
Maintain electrical safety:
Regularly test and maintain electrical equipment.
If dangerous deficiencies are identified, take measures to correct the
deficiencies without delay. Inform the system operator immediately.
If it is not possible to correct the dangerous deficiency, block off the
area involved or turn the equipment off and secure it against being
switched on again. Inform the system operator immediately.
Immediately secure loose cables and replace damaged cables.
Always replace blown fuses with fuses of the same rating.
DANGER!
Fire hazard due to over-
load or sparking!
Fire hazards occur due to overloaded cables, electrical arcs, short circuits or sparking. Sparking
can occur in poorly serviced, contaminated conductor rails or if installation does not comply with
the required tolerances.
Compliance with permissible current ratings is mandatory.
Tolerances must be observed during installation.
Install electrical protection as prescribed.
Check, service, and clean conductor rails regularly and as prescribed. See the
information in the documents for conductor rail range 0812/0813.
