Safe Isolation Procedure of a Single Phase Circuit | PTT

Do you want to learn the safe isolation procedure for a single phase circuit? Take a couple of minutes to watch our skilled trainer, Steve, show you the basic procedure we use when safely isolating a single phase installation.

Although safe isolation is a simple procedure, it is important to receive the correct training and guidance to ensure not only your safety, but also the safety of your clients.

The Electricity At Work Regulation 13 requires adequate precautions shall be taken to prevent electrical equipment, which has been made dead in order to prevent danger while work is carried out on or near that equipment, from becoming electrically charged during that work if danger may thereby arise.

If an electrical installation or circuit is to be isolated it must be securely locked and proven dead before any form of work can begin. Securely ‘disconnecting’ (isolating) one or all parts of the installation from the live supply is called ‘Safe Isolation’. Isolation can be done at the main switch/isolator of an installation or at an individual circuit breaker or switch.

Please do not forget to obtain permission before carrying out the safe isolation procedure from your client!
