Electric power engineering education traditionally covers safety of the power equipment and systems. Little attention, if any, is given to the safety of people. When they reach professional status, most power engineers are not familiar with electric safety issues such as practices governing site works or grounding techniques of dwellings, hospitals, and factories. Designed for both electrical engineering student and practicing power engineers, Electric Safety: Practice and Standards provides the knowledge and analysis they need to be well versed in electric safety. Features: Includes techniques to assess safety practices at worksites and provides remedies to correct safety problems Addresses the elusive stray voltage problem and provides techniques to mitigate its impact in dwellings as well as in sensitive installations such as hospitals and dairy farms Provides approximate, yet accurate, analyses and techniques that can be used to assess electric safety without the need for extensive computation or elaborate programs Includes several case studies from real events and examples demonstrating how variations in electric safety procedure implementation influence safety levels Based on the authors’ years of experience as an expert witness and electric safety training instructor, the book covers the analysis of electric safety practices as well as the interpretations of various safety codes. Including homework problems and a solutions manual, this book is a comprehensive guide to recognize and eliminate hazards of electric shocks for professionals working on electric power equipment, as well as people such as the general public in commonly used places, farms workers and animals, and hospital patients.

We live in an electrified society. Most of our modern devices, instruments, and appliances at work, at home, and for leisure are electricity powered either through electrical utilities, and/or through the use of batteries. Electrical safety is not just important for electricians and electrical workers; it is also important for faculty, staff and students who work with electrically powered devices or who are engaged in activities that may result in electrical hazards. Electrical accidents are proportionately severe and costly. The number of accidents reported to the authorities has no longer decreased during the past decade. Also, electrical accidents are not as rare as statistics imply as many minor accidents remain unreported. Current measures to increase electrical safety are not effective enough. In order to decrease the number of electrical accidents, there is a need for more information about electrical accident risks at the operative level. According to accident investigation reports, most electrical accidents occur because certain safety procedures are not carried out prior to work. Still, there is little information as to the reasons why these safety procedures are omitted, and what other significant electrical accident risks electrical professionals currently face.Electric Safety: Practice and Standards is a compendium delivering revolutionary information on practical cases to cover material directly related to industry practice and standards, including examples drawn from real-world cases and studies and develop techniques to assess safety practices at worksites and provide remedies to correct safety problems. It specifically addresses working in restricted areas; working near exposed energized overhead lines or parts; operating equipment near radio and microwave transmission towers; working on electrical equipment and systems; personal protective grounding; temporary wiring; disconnect and over current protection; ground-fault protection; and hazardous locations. It reveals innovative information about electrical professionals' electrical accident risks that can be utilized in the prevention of electrical accidents and promotion of electrical safety. This book is intended to provide electrical safety principles and best practices for students and practicing engineers in the course of work, research and academic activities where electrical hazards exist.
