§ 3



Operation of the electrical equipment



(1) Use electrical devices may only workers who have been with

This device proven to be familiar.



(2) the employee serving the electrical equipment may only be touched only those

parts of electrical equipment that are intended for the operator, such as

the handle of the switch disconnector switches, handles, levers, and buttons for this purpose.

distance; safety distances are listed in the annex, which is

part of this Ordinance.



(4) when the damage to the electrical equipment or failure which could

endanger the safety and health, the employee must provide serving electrical

equipment make arrangements that excludes this danger or at least

reduced. An employee serving electrical equipment reports the damage

or failure of the device to the employer.



§ 4



Work on the electrical equipment



(1) Work on the electrical system may be principle without tension.

Under stress, you can work only if it cannot be necessary part

the electrical equipment or the entire device off, if the devices are

Overview and section in which you want to work with, accessible.



(2) Work on the device that has not yet been mounted under tension

However, concurrency, or cannot be excluded from leadership emergence of plying

dangerous voltage induction shall be considered work under stress.



(3) work on the electrical equipment under voltage may be carried out in

the premises of the tight, wet, wet, in premises with increased

aggression, in all workplaces outdoors in the rain, storms, fog,

Gale and snowfall, if a special regulation ^ 1) provides otherwise.



(4) when you work near energized electrical equipment parts and

When you work on parts under voltage may be unprotected only that part of the

electrical equipment on which they are working. The other parts must be

protected by barriers.



(5) the work on the electrical equipment with a voltage above 1000 V are forbidden,

If an employee was forced to work on this equipment in the forward bend

or in other unstable position.



§ 5



Safety precautions when working on the electrical equipment without voltage



(1) work on the electrical equipment without voltage may exercise a person

Canny ^ 2) with supervision, or a person with higher qualifications.



(2) before starting any work on the electrical equipment without voltage

the electrical equipment must ensure by turning off, or turning it off and

disconnecting it. The electrical equipment must be switched off, or turn off and

disconnect from all the potential power. In the place where the electrical

the device turns off or disconnects, it places the employee table:

"Do not turn on, the device works". Where you cannot exclude the unwanted

turn on must be a power switch, plug in or locked out, or otherwise

secured, contactors shall be ensured by opening the control circuits,

compressed-air drive valve the compressed air must be sealed

control, control circuits and disjointed off remote control.



(3) in the case of the work on the power circuit of the electrical equipment must be

remove the fuse insert.



(4) after you turn off or disconnect the electrical equipment, the employee

verifies a surface or a measuring instrument that the electrical equipment or

in part, on which to work, in all the poles or stages without

voltage. From this verification voltage may be dispensed with if the

the ability to determine the status of the other is turned off in a reliable manner. Shorting

the device may be installed only after verification of the voltage, and it

so, that first contacts the ground, and then connects to all wires

the disabled device.



(5) Short-circuits and grounding of electrical equipment shall be made of all the

potential power and at the same time, such measures are taken, that no one

could not enter to the place with parts under voltage. When working on the electrical

the device is necessary to indicate the escape routes, which must remain permanently

loose.
