Sequence of Job Steps

List basic sequence of steps from start to finish.

Follow procedure CLP-413: 1) on Magna Power supply front panel , turn voltage knob to 0 V, press Red button to open output relay and switch off power supply using black switch 2) unplug the 240 VAC power cable from the receptacle and lock with cord cap 3) discharge capacitor bank by sending pulses to the switch unit from the PC and monitor signals indicating an absence of energy 4) turn off H Bridge controller 5) wait a minimum of 10 minutes 6) open rack read door and perform ZVV on the 240 VAC single phase input to the Magna Power supply 7) Perform ZVV on the DC output (max 200 VDC) and the capacitor bank. 8) add a shorting cable between DC+ and DC- on the IGBT switch capacitor bank. 9) remove the 120 VAC modular power cable from the H Bridge controller 10) Proceed with removing components from the rack

Perform Job Breifing

PIC Conducts the Job Briefing. Cover all the contents of the Job Safety Plan.

A Job Briefing at a minimum must include:
  1. Detailed Scope of Work
  2. Shock and arc flash hazards for each task
  3. Controls to mitigate the hazards (procedures, precautions, energy source controls, PPE requirements)
  4. Work area controls (barricades, signs, attendants)
  5. Emergency Response Plan
