Be careful when working with high voltage
Working on high voltage systems and equipment – especially in non-stationary
operation – requires particular care and safety-
conscious action on the part of test
personnel. VDE regulations 0104 on setting up and operating electrical test systems,
as well as EN 50191 and national standards and regulations must be strictly adhered
to.
• The Easytest generates a dangerous voltage of up to 20 kV during testing. This
is supplied via a HV cable to the test object.
• The test system may not be operated without supervision.
• When the test system in use, a second person must always be within sight and
calling distance, in order to use the emergency off switch in the event of danger.
• Never fail to use safety equipment or put it out of operation.
• To prevent dangerous charge accumulation, earth all metal parts in the vicinity of
the high voltage equipment.
• All ca
bles which are out of operation and not tested must be shorted and
earthed.
• The system and all auxiliary equipment must be connected in accordance with
the regulations. The applicable EN, DIN, VDE and national standards and regu-
lations must be strictly adhered to.
• Check whether there are any unsecured live systems or components in the im-
mediate vicinity of the test system which might you or the system might
accidentally come into contact with. This particularly applies to components
which carry high voltage or where the voltage is unknown.
Secure these components using insulating covers. If technical reasons make it
impossible to do this, switch them off or have this action carried out at the site for
the duration of your work after consulting whoever is responsible. Make sure this
is done properly.
