Team Members

1. Those whom are helping perform the tests

2. Operators and other personnel who will be in the area

3. Whomever would be contacted if someone was hurt

4. Anyone who would be affected if the equipment failed


Evacuation and First Aid

1. How do we get out if something goes wrong

2. Who do we contact first, who is qualified to provide first aid

3. Where are the medical supplies, eyewash station, fire extinguisher, etc.


A. Arc flash labeling reviewRequired by NPFA 70 (NEC) 110.16

Who is responsible to produce and maintain NFPA 70 (NEC) 130.5.D (Owner)

If there has not been an evaluation or the label is illegible: NFPA 70E, 130.7(C)(15)(a) we assume Cat II when nominal voltage is 300v or less, Cat III when it is 300v - 600v


B. NEC 409.110 Label1. Plainly visible after installation2. Manufacturers name, trademark, or descriptive

marking identifying the party responsible for the assembly or product.

3. Supply voltage, number of phases, frequency, and full load current for each incoming supply circuit

4. Identification of all power sources required to de-energize

5. Short Circuit Current Rating of the panel6. Is it intended to be service equipment or not7. Reference for drawing or diagram number8. Enclosure type


C. Noise and light distractions1. Pop and Boom sounds are the worst

when you are taking measurements!2. Be aware of any flashing lights or

strobes that may come on while you’re working

3. Make sure you have proper lighting to perform the work

D. Equipment and personnel traffic in the area1. Have our barricades created any new

hazards (personnel have to walk into equipment lanes to get around, etc.)

2. Does the equipment traffic cause any vibrations?

3. Are equipment operators aware of the area you are working in?

* Make sure you have the traffic controls in place


Working Space / Areas you will need access to

1. Make sure the area is free of clutter and there is plenty of room to work 2. Make sure paths of egress are clear3. Make sure exit doors are not locked 4. If you need access to multiple areas, make sure they are accessible5. Barricades, danger tape and signs are in place


Why are we doing this, what will each person do

1. Identify the goal of the testing

2. Who will be directly involved, what will their tasks be

3. Who will have access to the different areas, what will be required


Working around live components with and without PPE

1. Always inspect PPE before use2. Be aware of surroundings3. Barricade the area to prevent others from being exposed to risks4. Avoid, “I’ll just check it real quick” scenarios5. Don’t let anyone rush you6. If the equipment needs to be cycled or operated during testing,

make sure a trained operator is included in the planning phase and executes the operations.


Tool required / ratings and labeling1. IEC 61010 establishes category ratings or CATs

Cat IV: Service entrances, “Sources without accessible disconnecting means” Cat III: Large current carrying equipment or short connections to service equipment. Switchgear, Bus and Feeders, 3Ø motors, sometimes lighting, some appliance circuits, etc.Cat II: 1Ø receptacle connected loads, outlets more than 30ft from a Cat III source, more than 60ft from a Cat IV source, appliances, portable tools…

2. Follow manufacturer instructions. Removing the probe guards or other accessories may reduce the rating of the tool.


Documentation and communication

1. Difficulty of communicating with remote team members or tech support while taking measurements.

2. Removing PPE to make notes and putting it back on to continue

3. Talking with Cat III baklava on

4. Getting multiple readings at once and recording them


Applying relevant technology ( Don’t just be compliant; be safe! )

Fluke Connect - Wireless communication with Fluke FC products Communicate with multiple Fluke Connect products at once

Fluke Connect devices with E-maint software remote monitoring licensing


The team at Fluke seems to understand the risks we are taking in the field every day to support our facilities and customers. With NFPA 70E and OSHA regulations getting tighter and being enforced more heavily, we need these solutions.

Fluke Connect products allow my technicians to KEEP THAT DISTANCE between themselves and electrical risks. They allow us to KEEP THAT DISTANCE between bystanders, operators and equipment also.

They allow me to KEEP THAT DISTANCE between the jobsite and where I am so that I can continue to focus on other priorities, but still participate and support our techs and their projects.

They allow me to KEEP THAT DISTANCE between my competitors and myself because we can provide real data, from a trusted brand of tool while minimizing risks to our techs and other personnel in the area.

My Fluke Connect tools even assist me in KEEPING THAT DISTANCE between unbearable workman's compensation insurance rates and my company because we maintain an incredible EMR through our efforts and investments in risk mitigation which includes our Fluke Connect and E-Maint resources.

What are you trying to KEEP THAT DISTANCE from/between and how can FLUKE Connect and E-Maint products help you?
