Electric Safety - Electrical Safety

A search of the forums will provide additional information in this area, including excellent links, i.e. "No Shock Zone" ... But ...

Two really simple guidlines to start folks off. This mostly pertains to working with "Shore Power" - "Line Power" - "House Power" - "Mains" - 110 Volts - 120 Volts - 220 Volts - 240 Volts - Inverter Output.
  • If you are at all uncertain, seek the advice or service of a qualified electrician
  • Disconnect from power - unplug - turn OFF circuit breaker - before performing any work
There are many who understand topics such as "Lock Out" or "Keep One Hand Behind Your Back" and anyone who knows those two things has already rechecked the first two bullet points.

There are many other tips, sayings, even quotes from Reddy Kilowatt, but the bottom line ...

"It's all about safety."
