E. Abstraction Electrical hazards have always been recognized, yet serious injuries, deaths, and property
damage occur daily. The following where demonstrates the importance of electrical safety.
Electrical Safety is not an option — it is absolutely necessary for workers and employers alike.
Whenever you’re working on any electronic equipment, your own safety has to come first. Every
electronic technician must always take safety precautions before he or she starts work.
Electricity must be handled properly, or else it can injure or cause fatalities. Here are some basic
steps that show you how to avoid accidents from occurring.
1. Electrical Shock
Once you open up a set cover, you’re actually exposing yourself to the threat of
electric shock. Always keep in mind that safety has to come first. A serious shock may
stop your heart and if large electric current flows through your body, you will receive
serious burns. Here are some rules, which should help you to avoid electricity hazards.
a) Always turn off the equipment and unplug it before you begin to work.
b) If you have to run tests while the equipment is operating, turn the equipment on,
make your test carefully, and then turn the equipment off again.
c) Wear rubber bottom shoes or sneakers.
d) Try to do the work with one hand, while keeping the other in your pocket.
That keeps the possible current paths away from the heart.
e) Don’t attempt repair work when you are tired or rushed.
f) Always assume that all the parts in the power supply are “HOT”.
g) Use only plastic screwdriver for shock protection during service operation.
2. High Voltage
Monitors and TV have sections that use very high DC voltages. The high voltage is
needed to be applied to the CRT to attract the electron beam to the phosphor. This high
voltage could be as low as 12,000 volts in a monochrome monitor or as high as 30,000

volts in large colour monitor. Flyback transformer is the part that is used to generate the
high voltage. The high voltage circuit inside a monitor or TV can give you a dangerous
electric shock and causes you to jerk violently. You could cut yourself by accidentally
knocking on sharp chassis edges. Be familiar with the high voltage circuits before you work
on any high voltage equipment.
3. Wearing Goggles
The CRT has a complete vacuum inside. It must be handled carefully and safely.
Always wear goggles, to protect the eyes from flying glass, in the event of an implosion
when removing an old tube from the set and installing a replacement. Do not lift the CRT by
the neck, instead hold the CRT with both hands on the heavy glass front of the tube. Also
be sure to place the CRT facing downwards on a soft surface.
Integrated circuits (IC) & some field-effect transistors are examples of ESD
devices. These components can be easily damaged by static electricity. There are
several techniques which can reduce the incidence of component damage caused by
static electricity.
a) Immediately, before handling any ESD devices drain the electrostatic charge from
your body by touching a known earth ground.
b) Store ESD devices in conductive foam pad until installation in circuit.
c) Wear a grounding strap, attached to your wrist.
d) Use only a grounded tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESD devices. (Some
suggest using a battery powered soldering iron when working on ESD circuits).
5. Fire
Before returning the equipment to the user, every reasonable precaution is taken
to avoid fire hazards. Be sure to use only direct replacements and not one that defeats
some safety measure. For example, the fuses in your equipment are carefully
designed. Fuses must be replaced only with the same size, type and ratings. Should
you install a fuse that is too large than the original rating, chances are that the
equipment will be flammable.
6. Lifting
Some equipment like TV, Hi-fi or Monitor can easily weight around 15 to 30
kilograms. Many problems arise when lifting this equipment from the floor. Wrong
posture when lifting equipment may cause acute back pain. The right way to lift is keep
your back straight and upright, and use your legs to supply the lifting power.

7. Ventilation
Be sure that your work place has good ventilation. Prolong exposure or
excessive inhalation of vapors from chemical spray and fumes from lead may cause
damage to your nervous system or body.
Voltmeter
A basic electronics device or instrument used to measure voltage or electrical potential
difference between two points in electrical circuits is known as voltmeter. There are two types of
voltmeters: analog and digital. An analog voltmeter moves a pointer across a scale in
proportional to the voltage of the electrical circuit. A digital voltmeter measures an unknown input
voltage by converting the voltage to a digital value by using a converter and then displays the
voltage in numeric form.
Ohmmeter
Ammeter
A measuring instrument which is used to measure the electric current in a circuit is known
as an ammeter. The units of measurement for electric current is amperes (A) Earlier ammeters
were laboratory instruments which depend on the earth’s magnetic field for operation. In an era
of the 19th century, improved instruments were designed which could be placed in any position
and allows accurate measurements in electric power systems.
The smaller currents can be measured by using milliammeters or micro ammeters, units of
measuring the smaller current are in the milliampere or microampere range. There are different
types of ammeters such as moving-coil, moving magnet and moving-iron, etc.
Multimeter
A multimeter is an electronic instrument used to measure the three basic electrical
characteristics: voltage, current and resistance. It has multiple functions and acts like ohmmeter,
voltmeter and ammeter and also used for household wiring, electric motors, testing batteries and
power supplies. The multimeter is a handheld device with a needle over a numeric LCD digital
display for indication purpose. It is also used to test continuity between two points in an electrical
circuit. There are three types of multimeters made available in the market such as: digital
multimeter, analog multimeter and fluke multimeter.
