 C.3 Isolation of DC Supplies:

C.3.1 DC MCB OR terminal Isolation and measurements

After completion of necessary Trip terminal/Link isolation, identify and isolate the panel DC supply by removing
respective terminals OR switching off MCBS and confirm there is no voltage.

WARNING
Expected measure voltage +VE & -VE volt with respect to ground after isolation at the below mentioned point is
zero in case of any voltage observed, work must be stopped
