Question
Chapter 32, Problem 1R
To determine
Find the basic safety rule when working with electricity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1R
The basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The basic safety rules to be followed when working with electricity are listed below:
- When hooking up with the standby systems, always turn OFF the power. Do not work with “live” equipment.
- Installation instructions provided by the equipment manufacturers should be read and followed carefully to operate equipment.
- Do not work with wet hands.
- Do not stand on water when working with electricity.
- After qualifying from the electrical testing laboratories, equipment such as panelboards, generators, transfer switches, and power inlets should be installed.
- Do not touch the bare wires.
Conclusion:
Thus, the basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.
