Description
1
Equipment is fully de-energized.
2
Equipment is energized. Energized circuits are covered or insulated.
SEMI S2-0715a standard, NOTE 41: Type 2 work includes tasks where
the energized circuits are or can be measured by placing probes through
suitable openings in the covers or insulators.
3
Equipment is energized. Energized circuits are exposed and inadvertent
contact with uninsulated energized parts is possible. Potential exposures
are no greater than 30 V
