Fundamentals of electrical safety

Goals

The objectives of the training Fundamentals of electrical safety :

At the end of this training course, trainees will understand the basics of electrical appliance design in accordance with standards

The aim of this training course is to:

• Understand and anticipate safety issues in electrical appliances.


• Identify and be able to reduce each risk associated with the use of your appliance.


• Apply the basic principles of protection and risk reduction.

Program

1 - Clarifying the fundamentals
• Manufacturers' obligations
• Link between directive and standards
• Basic principle
• Risk analysis and reduction
• Different types of protection.


2 - Different types of protection.
• Protection against electrical risks: Distance, impedance, earthing
• Protection against mechanical risks: Cutting parts, moving parts, explosion
• Protection against thermal risks: fire, burns
• Protection against thermodynamic risks: pressure, leaks and explosions
• Protection against chemical risks: chemical substances, batteries, etc.
• Protection against radiation: visible, acoustic, ionising, etc.
• Protection by component: insulation, locking, etc.
• Protection by instruction: markings, manuals, training
• Risks not covered


3 - Verification
