Equipment in EML
• Power-up Procedure
• Electric Machines
• DC/AC Power supplies
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) units
• Meters
• Analog and Digital
• voltage, current, power, torque, speed, frequency
• Power Transformers
• Load resistors, capacitors, inductors
Proper Use of Equipment
Notes
• Make sure there are no hazards present before using any
equipment, including wires, meters, or other components.
• Electrical hazards: exposed/bare wires, dangling wires, etc.
• Fire hazards: old wiring, sparking connections, etc.
• Other safety hazards: cords (may cause one to trip/fall), heavy
objects near the edge of a table (may fall and crush one’s foot), etc.
Proper Use of Equipment
Power-up Procedure
• Make sure:
• All connections are secure and correct;
• Nothing obstructs or is placed near the equipment;
• All group members are at least one foot (1ft) away from the
equipment (machine, PLC, etc.);
• You yell “Powering up” so that all group members are aware that
the equipment will be energized
Electric Machines
• Check the ratings (voltage, current, etc.) of the machine/s
you will use. Make sure your input (voltage, power, etc.)
will not exceed these ratings.
Power Supply
• Be aware of the circuit breakers, including the main
breaker, of the supply.
• Read the output ratings of the supply before using it. The
supply has constant and variable DC/AC voltage sources.
Meters
• Make sure that the meter is in the correct setting before
connecting it to the circuit.
Meters
• Place the meters on the space next to the machines, i.e.
away from the shaft.
Electric shock
• Separate the person from the source of electric shock
immediately by turning the main breaker or the supply OFF.
• Make sure to NEVER touch the person without turning OFF the
cause of electric shock. You can get electric shock as well.
• Remove any other possible sources of electricity near the casualty–
like loose wires, cords, residual machine current–by using an
insulating/low conductivity object, such as a dry plastic stick, dry
broom, etc.

Emergency Situations
Electric shock
• Monitor the responsiveness of the casualty while waiting for
the ambulance/medical assistance.
• Place the victim in a recovery position: lying on their backs, facing up,
arms rested on the sides.
• Ask the casualty a “Yes-or-No” question, like “Can you hear me?”.
• If responsive, continually check on the consciousness of the victim
until medical help arrives.
• If unresponsive:
• Seek help. If you are alone, briefly leave the casualty to seek help.
• Make sure that the victim is still breathing. If not, carry out CPR/chest
compressions until medical assistance arrives.

Emergency Situations
Fires
• Sound the fire alarm and call the fire brigade.
• Attempt to extinguish the fire only if you can using the fire
extinguisher near the exit door.
• If the fire is electricity-related, try to turn OFF the circuit breaker of the
supply or of the building before attempting to extinguish the fire.
• Do this without risking your or others’ safety.
Fires
• Do NOT re-enter the room/building until authorized to do so.
