 Electrical shock
hazards

1. Current & voltage

2. Aiding electrical shock victims
Variables that determine
the severity of electrical
shock
• The source voltage
• Body resistance
• Current capacity of the source
• The path that current takes
Body

resistance

to current
flow
Current level effects
 Protective equipment
• Gloves
• Rubber sleeves
• Rubber blankets , floor mat s .
• Inspecting protective
equipment .
 Electrical tools &
special equipment hazards
• Proper grounding
• Other equipment hazards
1. Soldering iron
2. Batteries
3. Transformers & capacitors
 Electrical devices
• Capacitors
• Instrument transformer
1. Current transformer
2. Potential yransformer
 Safe practices for
electrical maintenance
• Voltage detectors
• On the job safety
• Protection from arcs
• Protection from solvents & toxic
vapors
• Electrical fires
High voltages hazards
• Live line tools and equipment
• Inductance and capacitance
• Safety grounding – transformer
• Switching and grounding – ground /
test devices for switching
Summaeize the steps of
de energizing P.T.
• Unload the secondary
• De energize the primary side
• Isolate both sides with
disconnects
• Ground the primary side
• Tag all circuit
• Test the voltage
High voltage hazards
