nacelle.
31.14 To begin the capacitor inspection, confirm that voltage has been drained from the
capacitors and that ten minutes have passed since this was done in order to alleviate the
consequences of possibly making direct contact with the accumulated voltage.
31.15 Before starting up the machine, make sure that the capacitor cabinet door is closed, in
order to reduce the consequences of a possible blast of electric energy.
31.16 Upon checking the rubber components or tightening the terminals in the generator
terminal box, the machine is checked to ensure it is locked and the power supply to the
rotor is disconnected (before handling the generator terminal block, check with a
multimeter to make sure that power is shut off).
32 Operations in Electrical Facilities

32.1 There is a worker who properly trained on first aid in case of electrical shock or burns.
32.2 The workers are authorized (Low Voltage) or qualified (High Voltage).
32.3 The work area is clearly delimited and defined, there is adequate space in which to work
with easy access and good lighting.
32.4 The environment is not too humid, and no work is done under adverse weather
conditions.
32.5 Work tools are properly insulated.
32.6 Measuring components and equipment are in perfect condition and do not have any
improvised additions.
Version 00: 3/8/06
STARTUP (continued) YES NO N/A
33 Operations in Electrical Facilities Without Voltage

33.1 Power is shut off appropriately (required in High Voltage and in Low Voltage facilities
that, due to induction or other reasons, could accidentally power up):
1. The installation where work will be performed is completely disconnected from
electricity, grounded and short-circuited with visible devices.
2. Accidental reconnection is made impossible (lockout, tagout, etc.).
3. The facility is checked to ensure power is off.
4. If some are areas are powered up, these are protected with insulation screens,
barriers, covers or protections.
33.2 Once the work is complete, voltage is powered up only after all workers (except those
that must necessarily remain) have left the area and all tools and equipment used have
been collected.
34 Operations in Electrical Facilities With Voltage

34.1 The work is done by qualified personnel.
34.2 The worker is in a stable position with both hands free.
34.3 Workers use appropriate PPEs.
34.4 The workers do not carry metal objects (necklaces, bracelets, rings,...), that can
accidentally make contact with live components.
34.5 In HIGH VOLTAGE operations the workers are qualified and authorized, in writing by the
businessperson, to do the type of work considered, including the sequence of
operations. In each case the following are indicated:
1. safety measures
2. material
3. protective measures to be taken and the circumstances that may require shutting
down work.
34.6 In HIGH VOLTAGE operations, the operator is properly insulated from the environment.
34.7 If there are live components near the work that is being done, said components are
protected with insulating barriers, screens or covers. If this is not possible, the workers
are informed of the existing risks, work area limits and measures to be taken to avoid
entering the danger zone.
Version 00: 3/8/06
OBSERVATIONS: Indicate any problems detected.
