Safety Precautions for Electrical Machines Lab

1.1 Objective:
The "Safety Precautions" are the major guidelines, therefore precautions intended to achieve a
safe lab and operating environment for students performing experiments.

1.2 Introduction:
A safe work environment is not always enough to control all potential electrical hazards. You
must be very cautious and work safely. Safety rules help you control your and others risk of injury
or death from workplace hazards. There is always a potential danger of electric shock or fire
wherever there are outlets, plugs, wiring or connections, as there are in all labs. In addition to the
usual electrical hazards, some labs have high voltage electrical equipment which poses an even
greater potential problem. Students should be extra careful with this equipment, and should learn
how to disable the power source in an emergency.

1.3 Pre-Lab Questions

1. What are conductors?
2. What is the function of circuit breakers?
3. Explain the function of three wires inside an electrical cord color coded:
Black: White: Green:

1.4 Lab Procedure:

Rules for safe practice and to avoid electric shocks:
1. Be sure of the conditions of the equipment and the dangers present BEFORE working on
a piece of equipment. Many sportsmen are killed by supposedly unloaded guns; many
technicians are killed by supposedly “dead”. Circuits,
2. NEVER rely on safety devices such as fuses, relays and interlock systems to protect you.
They may not be working and may fail to protect when most needed.
3. NEVER remove the grounding prong of a three wire input plug. This eliminates the
grounding feature of the equipment making it a potential shock hazard.
4. Disorganized mess of connecting leads, components and tools only leads to careless
thinking circuits, shocks and accidents.
5. DO NOT WORK ON WET FLOOR
Do not work on wet floor or bare footed. Always work on a rubber mate or an insulated
floor.
6. DO NOT WORK ALONE.
 It’s just good to have someone around to shot off the power give artificial respiration
and to call a doctor.
7. WORK WITH ONE HAND WHILE WORKING WITH ELCTRIC CIRCUITS
A current in between a hand’s crosses your heart and can be more let than a current
from hand to foot .a wise technician always work with one hand .watch your service
man
8. NEVER TALK TO ANYONE WHILE WORKING
Do not let yourself distracted. Also do not talk to anyone, if he is working on dangerous
equipment. Do not be the cause of an accident.
9. ALWAYS MOVE SLOWLY
When work around electrical circuits. Violent and rapid movements lead to accidental
shock and short circuits.

1.5 Post-Lab Questions:

1. Explain effect of electric current on human body (using different ranges)?
2. Explain the working of GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS (GFCI)?
