Precautions
No loose wires or metal pieces should be lying on table or near the circuit as they
cause short circuits and sparking.
Keep the conducting parts and connections out of the way from accidental
touching and from any contacts to test equipment or any parts, connectedto other
voltage levels.
When working with inductive circuits, reduce voltages or currents to near zero
before switching open the circuits.
Be careful about dangling objects like bracelets, rings, and metal watch bands.
They conduct electricity and can cause burns. Do not wear them during laboratory
sessions.
When working with energized circuits, use only one hand while keeping the rest of
your body away from conducting surfaces.
Before Powering the
2
Circuit
Before powering the circuits, check for all the connections of the circuit and
scope connection. This avoids shorting or any ground looping that may lead
to electrical shocks or damage of equipment.
Double check your wiring and circuit connections (use a point-to-point wiring
diagram to review when makingthese checks).
