Safety Rules
Safety Rules
Before operating the CP SB1 transformer switch box, read the following safety
rules carefully. If you do not understand some safety rules, contact OMICRON
electronics before proceeding. The
CP SB1 is designated for use with the
CPC 100 test system. Therefore, observe the safety rules both in this User
Manual and in the CPC 100 User/Reference Manual when working with the
CP SB1 .
Depending on the application and the device under test, specific safety
instructions must be observed. Very often, the danger coming from the device
under test is even higher than the danger from the
CP SB1 itself. For
application-specific safety instructions, see 3.1 "Safety Instructions for
Connecting the CP SB1 to Power Transformers" on page 21.
Maintenance and repair is only permitted by qualified experts either at the
factory or certifeid external repair centers.
General
Always observe the five safety rules:
• Disconnect completely
• Secure against re-connection
• Verify that the installation is dead
• Carry out grounding and short-circuiting
• Provide protection against adjacent live parts
Operating the Measurement Setup
Only personnel qualified in electrical engineering and trained by OMICRON
electronics are authorized to operate the
CP SB1 . Before starting the work,
clearly establish the responsibilities.
Personnel receiving training, instructions, directions, or education on the
CPC 100 or CP SB1 must be under constant supervision of an experienced
operator while working with the equipment.
The operator is responsible for the safety requirements during the whole test.
