[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 463382, member: 9512"] Just remember that any machine panel since 1994, must be IP2x to have been legal for sale. Thus there are no connections to accidentally touch. Also anything less than 50V is not covered by the LVD, it is captured by the MD. Also, it’s not classified as lethal. Your panels must not have a fault current at the input greater than they can cope with, & this must be stated in the machine documents. If it isn't or the fault current is greater than allowed, then that’s a breach of law also. The panels must be designed to eliminate any chances of arc flash, else that’s a breach of law. Therefore if your equipment is compliant, thus legal for use, then a lot of your hazards will be eliminated. If they aren’t then you must address those, before implementing procedures & ppe, it’s the hierarchy of control. [/QUOTE]
