Motor control equipment and electronic controllers are
connected to hazardous line voltages. When servicing
drives and electronic controllers, there may be exposed
components with housings or protrusions at or above
line potential. Extreme care should be taken to protect
against shock.
•
Stand on an insulating pad and make it a habit to use
only one hand when checking components
•
Always work with another person in case an
emergency occurs
•
Disconnect power before checking controllers or
