Safe handling of batteries and capacitors
a) always visually inspect the batteries and capacitors before starting work; look for signs of distress and leakage b) take precautions to guard battery terminals against short circuiting by covering the terminals with insulating tape or insulating mats
c) ensure all batteries and capacitors are correctly and securely mounted
d) ensure the batteries and capacitors are wired with the correct polarity as per the wiring diagrams and that all terminals are tight e) defective batteries and capacitors must be disposed of in accordance with local legislation f) insulated tools approved for the rated voltage must be used when working around live, exposed conductors
Test point
Point used to measure energy
The qualification requirements for working on high voltage systems
Qualified Electrical Person with specific training in the job and experience in high voltage
The requirements for tools to be used for testing for the absence of voltage
Have limited functionality and be with fixed test leads Or; Be multi-meters with an audible alert function to warn the user in the event the meter function selector and test leads positions are not compatible Test probes must be selected to match the physical requirements of the test point and be in accordance with local electrical regulatory requirements. Non-contact voltage detectors are for use only with non-contact voltage portals or for double checking that the lockout boundary is in electrically safe work condition. Non-contact voltage detectors are not allowed for ‘test-before-touch’ verification Mandatory when performing energised work (in extraordinary circumstances under an approved special permit) that requires using the tools inside the Limited Approach Boundary or Restricted Approach boundary
When to use insulated (voltage-rated), approved tools?
