Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes users to danger from electrical shock, especially when testing where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current through the heart can stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS is considered dangerous and hazardous as it can produce a lethal current under certain conditions. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat. Safety precautions include:
1. Avoid exposing high voltage needlessly. Remove housings and covers only when necessary. Turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits and discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.
2. Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface for equipment. Ensure surfaces are not damp or wet. Wear heavy gloves if an insulated floor surface is unavailable.
3. Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe to avoid contacting a nearby metal object that could provide a ground return path.
4. Always use an isolation transformer to power transformerless “hot chassis” equipment to prevent dangerous shock hazards and potential damage to test instruments or equipment under test.
5. Use only a 3-wire outlet for test instruments or equipment with a 3-wire AC power plug to keep housing or other exposed elements at earth ground.
6. Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. Remember that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment.
7. Be aware that AC line voltage is present on some power input current points, such as on-off switches, fuses, and power transformers, even when the equipment is turned off.
8. Never work alone. Someone should be nearby to render aid if necessary. Training in CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) first aid is highly recommended.
