SAFETY FOR
DISASSEMBLING AND
DISPOSAL
Electrical Current
…...………………….
DANGER
!
Risk of fatal injury from electrical current!
Bus bars may be live with potentially fatal voltages.
– Before starting disassembly, switch off the
electrical power supply to the bus bars.
– Only allow trained installation staff to perform any
work.
– When performing work on bus bars, implement
measures in the working position so it is and
remains isolated from the voltage.
Follow the five safety rules:
1.
Isolate from the voltage.
2.
Secure to prevent from being switched back on.
3.
Make sure parts are no longer live with voltage.
4.
Earth and short-circuit.
5.
Cover or section off neighbouring parts which
are live with voltage.
Improper Disassembly
………………
WARNING
!
Risk of injury from improper disassembly!
Stored residual energy, sharp-edged components,
points and corners on bus bar systems or the tools
required, can cause injuries.
– Before starting work, make sure there is sufficient
space.
– Handle exposed, sharp-edged components with
care.
– Keep the work area clean and tidy. Parts or tools
loosely piled or lying about are a potential source
of accidents.
– Remove the components properly. Remember
some components may be very heavy. Perform
disassembly work, working, at least, as a pair. Use
lifting gear as necessary.
– Secure components so they cannot fall or topple
over.
– In case of any doubt, consult RITZ Instrument
Transformers GmbH.
