!Caution!
Under normal and fault conditions, AC line voltages may be present on any terminal. Touching any
component could be hazardous and result in loss of life. A short circuit can result in arcing that could
cause molten metal injuries to testing personal.
To minimize this possibility, only qualified electrical technicians familiar with electrical hazards
should perform these checkout procedures. Safety glasses should be worn by such personnel, and
instruments used for voltage measurement should be designed for the purpose and should be in
good mechanical and working order.
