Checks to electrical devices
Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and
component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then
no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If
the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an
adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the
equipment, so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
• that capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility
of sparking;
• that no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering
or purging the system;
• that there is continuity of earth bonding.
Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely
During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from
the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is
absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a
permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point
to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electri-
cal components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is
affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, termi-
nals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.

Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer
serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement
parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer´s specifications.
NOTE: the use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak
detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to
working on them.
Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without en-
suring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the
equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the
presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may
result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration,
sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into
