2000 50A -48V 364A-3 SR Series Rectifier
4 - 4 Safety Issue 6 January 1997
This symbol identifies the presence of
rectifier and battery voltages. The
symbol may sometimes be
accompanied by some type of
statement. For example, “Battery
voltage present. Risk of injury due to
high current. Avoid contacting
conductors with uninsulated metal objects. Follow safety
precautions.”
When working on this type of equipment, the following safety
precautions should be noted:
• Batteries may be connected in parallel with the output of the
rectifiers. Turning off the rectifiers will not necessarily
remove power from the bus. Make sure the battery power is
also disconnected and/or follow safety procedures while
working on any equipment that contains hazardous energy/
voltage.
• In addition to proper job training and safety procedures, the
following are some basic precautions that should always be
used:
— Use only properly insulated tools
— Remove all metallic objects (key chains, glasses, rings,
watches, or any other jewelry).
— Wear safety glasses.
— Test circuits before touching.
— Lock out and tag any circuit breakers/fuses when
possible to prevent accidental turn on.
— Be aware of potential hazards in the area you are
working before entering the equipment.
— Identify exposed hazardous electrical potentials on
connectors, wiring, etc. (note the condition of these
circuits, especially any wiring).
— Use care when removing or replacing any covers; avoid
contacting any circuits.
