Hazardous High Voltage i
HIGH VOLTAGE: Motor control equipment and electronic controllers are connected to
hazardous line voltages. When servicing drives and electronic controllers, there may be
exposed components with housing or protrusions at or above line potential. Extreme
care should be taken to protect against shock.
Stand on an insulating pad and make it a habit to use only one hand when checking
