1.2.2 Safety rules
Always observe the five safety rules:
► Disconnect completely.
► Secure against re-connection.
► Verify that the installation is dead.
► Carry out grounding and short-circuiting.
► Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
1.2.3 Safety accessories
OMICRON offers a range of accessories for added safety during the operation of our test systems. For
further information and specifications, refer to the corresponding Supplementary Sheet or contact
OMICRON Support (see "Support" on page 21).
1.3 Preparations on site
Prior to connecting a test object to the CPC, the following steps need to be carried out by an authorized
employee of the utility:
► Turn off and disconnect the high voltage from the test object.
► Protect yourself and your working environment against an accidental re-connection of high voltage
by other persons and circumstances.
► Verify that the installation is dead.
► Earth-connect and short-circuit the test object’s terminals using a grounding set.
► Protect yourself and your working environment with a suitable protection against other (possibly live)
circuits.
1.3.1 Static charges
Static charges on bushings or other apparatus such as transformer windings may be induced by test
potentials. While the voltage may not be significant enough to do any damage, it can be a source for
serious accidents due to falls caused by reflex action.
High static charges may also be encountered at the bushing capacitance taps if the covers are removed.
► Ground all test objects before handling.
