ELECTRICAL SAFETY

HIGH VOLTAGE: Some components of the power system operate with high voltage. Direct or indirect contact with these components through non- insulated protective material poses a fatal hazard. Construction of high- voltage lines can cause fire or electric shock accidents. The racking and wiring of AC cables through the area must comply with the local regulations and specifications. Only personnel qualified for high-voltage and AC operations can carry out various high-voltage operations.

TOOLS: Special tools must be used for all high AC voltage operations.

THUNDERSTORMS: High AC voltage operations during thunderstorms are strictly prohibited. Strong electromagnetic fields are produced in the atmosphere during thunderstorms. To avoid lightning damage to equipment and personnel, do not carry out any operations during thunderstorms.

ELECTROSTATICS: Static electricity generated by the human body can damage electrostatic-sensitive components on boards such as large-scale integrated circuits (ICs). To prevent static damage to sensitive components, personnel must wear an anti-static bracelet when in contact with equipment (hand-held boards, circuit boards, IC chips, etc.). The antistatic bracelet must be well- grounded on the other end.

SHORT CIRCUITS: It is strictly prohibited to short-circuit the power supply system to the positive and negative poles or to short the non-ground pole to ground during operation. Short circuits can cause equipment to burn and pose a personal safety hazard. In addition, the polarity of the cables and interface terminals must be strictly checked when carrying out live work. Power distribution operation space is limited. Before any operation, close attention must be paid to the choice of operating space. An insulation tool must be used during operation. When working with electricity, care must be taken to keep your hands, wrists and arms steady, to prevent accidents from a tool slipping, or from too much movement of a tool or your body.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: How should I ground the anti-static bracelet properly?
A: The antistatic bracelet must be well-grounded on the other end to prevent static damage to sensitive components.

Q: What should I do if there is a thunderstorm while using the EV charger?
A: High AC voltage operations during thunderstorms are strictly prohibited. Avoid carrying out any operations during thunderstorms to prevent lightning damage to equipment and personnel.
