THREE REASONS TO REMEMBER SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH HV

摘要

Safety is important, especially when working with high voltage. Dale West explores how one wrong move could have wide-reaching consequences. Working with high voltage often requires portable earthing devices (PEDs), ensuring that there's pathway for unanticipated electrical current to flow safely to earth. However, as one experienced electrician learned, it can sometimes take multiple PEDs installed with the one HV job to ensure the safety of everyone involved. It was an important lesson that came at an important time for outside-of-work reasons.
