Safety Issues
Normal use of test equipment presents a certain amount of danger from electrical shock be-
cause testing must be performed where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing
10 milliamps of current to pass through the heart will stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as
low as 35 VDC or RMS AC should be considered dangerous and hazardous since it can
produce a lethal current under certain conditions. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat
because such voltage can easily produce a lethal current. Your normal work habits should
include all accepted practices that will prevent contact with exposed high voltage, and steer
current away from your heart in case of accidental contact with a high voltage. You will signifi-
cantly reduce the risk factor if you know and observe the following safety precautions:
1.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not remove the instrument cover. Servic-
ing of the instrument should only be performed by trained, qualified personnel.
2.
Do not position the instrument in such a manner that makes it difficult to remove
the AC power cord.
3.
Use an insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an
insulated work surface on which to place equipment. Make certain such
surfaces are not damp or wet.
4.
Use the time-proven “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an
instrument probe. Be particularly careful to avoid contact with metal objects
that could provide a good ground return path.
5.
When testing AC powered equipment, remember that AC line voltage is usually
present on power input circuits, such as the on-off switch, fuses, power trans-
former etc.
