Performance Objective:

Test the fuses in the safety switch following the specifications given below and in
compliance with the PEC standards.

Supplies/Materials:

● Installed safety switch with fuses

Equipment:

● Multimeter tester
● Fuse puller
Steps/Procedure:
1. Turn off the safety switch to test the fuse.
2. Remove the fuse using a fuse puller.
3. Power on the multimeter. Make sure that the dial is pointing towards the continuity
setting.
4. Put each lead at the ends of the fuse and look at the display.
