Restoring
electrical power safely
Electrical protection is no place to compromise.
When not treated with respect, electricity can injure or kill even the
most experienced user.
Below is a safety checklist:
- Make sure the power is off before working
on any equipment.
- Equipment with visible damage must be replaced.
- Many types of electrical equipment must be
replaced after exposure to water, even if no damage is apparent.
- Electrical equipment should be selected and
applied in accordance with the ratings, nameplates, wiring diagrams,
instructions and warning labels for that equipment.
- Electrical equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and other applicable local
or state codes.
- Installations should be inspected by qualified
authorities before restoring power.
