Dangers when working with electric voltage
During measurements with protrac® in combination with a cable fault location system
or a surge voltage generator, a dangerous – and sometimes very high – voltage is gen-
erated that is fed into the test object via an HV connection cable and can produce a
fatal voltage gradient near the fault location. The responsible body and operator need
to pay special attention and must be very careful while working with high voltage.
DANGER
Dangerous electric voltage
Danger to life or risk of injury due to electric shock.
Risk of burn injuries and electro-ophthalmia due to
arcing faults.
»Follow the safety instructions in the user manual
for the cable fault location system used.
»Before starting work, ensure there is no voltage at
the workplace.
