Electric shock
To perform any kind of activities inside or near the connection compartment of a
panel, you must ensure that this compartment is safely isolated from supply.
Without isolation from supply, the cables / bar connections in the connection
compartment will be live at operational high-voltage.
Before removing the rear wall on the rear side of a panel, isolate and earth
the cable / bar connections in the connection compartment.
Provide a warning on the high-voltage door to indicate activities in the
connection compartment on the rear side of the panel.
Observe the Five Safety Rules.
Verify safe isolation from supply.
Do not operate the feeder earthing switch during any activities inside or
near the connection compartment.
Do not remove any ledges on the rear side of the busbar compartment.
