Hazards when working with large gauge cables
Low voltages and large gauge cables increase the risk of hazardous situations. While
large gauge cables are usually of low voltage, their current values are higher. This re-
sults in higher risk, specifically in the event of a short-circuit.
Protective Clothing/Equipment
● When working with the equipment, do not wear loose-fitting clothes. Contain
long or free-flowing hair.
● To avoid injury and the risk of short-circuiting, do not wear jewelry, watches with
metallic wristbands, clothing with metallic accessories or rivets when working
with the equipment.
● Always use appropriate eye protection.
● Wear a safety helmet in hazardous situations where there is a risk of injury from
falling objects.
Safety Measures
● Shiny or reflective surfaces are conductive. Never touch a live component with
a mirror. This can lead to short-circuiting, which may lead to personal injury.
● Unless the equipment’s operating instructions specify otherwise, shut-down the
power when working in close proximity to a power supply or DC converter.
● Do not try to lift heavy objects by yourself.
