Question
Chapter 32, Problem 1R
To determine
Find the basic safety rule when working with electricity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1R
The basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The basic safety rules to be followed when working with electricity are listed below:
- When hooking up with the standby systems, always turn OFF the power. Do not work with “live” equipment.
- Installation instructions provided by the equipment manufacturers should be read and followed carefully to operate equipment.
- Do not work with wet hands.
- Do not stand on water when working with electricity.
- After qualifying from the electrical testing laboratories, equipment such as panelboards, generators, transfer switches, and power inlets should be installed.
- Do not touch the bare wires.
Conclusion:
Thus, the basic safety rule when working with electricity is to turn off the power.

- I would like assistance with the electrical system of a streetcar/train, specifically in performing calculations related to speed, torque, and power for the motor and the train.Streetcar Gear SystemFrom my research, I have found that streetcars typically do not use traditional gear systems. Instead, the motor directly drives the truck (the assembly that holds the wheels and axles) to achieve the desired speed and torque required by the vehicle. The motor's speed and torque are controlled by a control box, which regulates the motor's performance according to the operational requirements.
