An additional benefit of intrinsically safe systems is the reduction of electrical shock hazards. It is cautioned, however, that intrinsically safe systems are not necessarily tested specifically for personnel shock hazards. 

Line cord. Brings a.c. power to unit. Should be plugged into a live wall socket [See J. E. Leonard and L. E. Mohrmann, J. Chem. Educ., 57,119 (1980), for a modification in the wiring of older units, to make them less lethal. It seems that even with the three-prong plug, there can still be a shock hazard. Make sure your instructor knows about this ]. 

Beware of shock hazard if an electric kettle or hot plate is used. 

While electrostatic precipitators have relatively high collection efficiencies (99-100%) over a wide range of particle sizes ( 0.05-5 /im), there are a number of disadvantages. These include the lack of size information, particle reentrainment due to sparking, and practical problems such as high cost and shock hazards. As a result, they have not been widely used in ambient air studies. 

Because the output of these bridges is in the range of millivolts, the cables utilized to carry the signal are normally shielded with a braided or foil-lined sheath around individual wires. The shield, as a rule, is connected to the amplifier, but never touches the actual instrumented equipment (i.e., tablet press). If this rule is violated, a ground loop may generate electrical noise and present a dangerous electrical shock hazard. 

Monitor the compressor and do not over-pressurize the vessel during testing. Do not get the compressor connections wet as this can be a shock hazard. Keep the compressor well away from the water area by attaching an adequately long length of tubing. 

Hence an earth leakage circuit breaker should be used in the MCC to protect the circuit against electric shock hazard.

Through the measurement of coal and rock physical and mechanical parameters, the no. 2 coal seam of Liyazhuang coal mine has medium impact tendency and no impact on the roof strata. Due to stress concentration, hazard of 2-228 island working face is rock burst risk, and the rock burst hazard degree is weak shock hazard. 

It is important for the clinical engineer to understand fully how standards are developed, how they are used, and most importantly, how they affect the entire spectrum of health-related matters. Standards exist that address systems (protection of the electrical power distribution system from faults), individuals (means to reduce potential electric shock hazards), and protection of the environment (disposal of deleterious waste substances). 

Class C extinguishers are intended for electrical fires, which, because of the potential shock hazard, preclude the use of water. Many class B extinguishers are also rated for use on electrical fires. Class D extinguishers are used primarily for reactive metal fires and a few other specialized applications. Due to the extra cost of these units, only those laboratories which actively use reactive metals need to be equipped with class D units. 

The question of using U.S. standards for EU compliance always arises. Because there are numerous technical differences between the two countries standards and the U.S. standards are not listed in the OJEC, these standards may not be considered for European conformity. Also, there are major differences in philosophy between the European Union and United States. The U.S. focus is primarily on flammability and testing, whereas the EU focus is on shock hazards and con-stmction. Although both the U.S. and EU safety experts consider the same safety aspects and tests, it is with a different emphasis. This often means the difference... 

In stark contrast, the EU safety standards and experts pay special attention to shock hazards through separation of circuits, components, isolation, transformers, and PCBs to keep the high voltages isolated from the operator. Additional constmc-tion requirements and tests are also employed for short circuits (single faults), protection of the service personnel, guarding, and so on.
