Q

Isolate

A

Isolate yourself from the source of electric shock, remove the power to the equipment before attempting to work on it, be sure to keep all electrical equipment, covers, doors, and enclosures in place we’re not working on the equipment. If youmust leave circuitry exposed, worn your fellow workers of the danger.

Q

Insulate

A

Make sure that all the electrical tools and equipment used is properly insulated, use only approved insulated hand and portable electric power tools, check power and extension cords frequently for deterioration, cracks, or breaks. Breaks in the insulation can cause many electrical mishaps.

18
Q

Ground

A

Electric current always follows the path of least resistance. To prevent yourself from being the unintentional path to ground, make sure that your equipment is well grounded. Well grounded equipment will direct any stray electric current to ground, thereby protecting you from electric shock. A good ground can also help protect the equipment from excessive voltage spikes or lightning.

19
Q

What to do in case of electrical shock

A

Shut off the power at once.
If power cannot be shut off immediately try to free the victim from non-conductive material.
Do not make direct contact with any part of the victims body.
check if the victim is breathing.
Perform CPR if necessary.
Loosen the clothingfrom the victims neck chest and abdomen so that breathing is easier.
Protect the victim from exposure to cold. Keep the victim from moving.
After a strong shock, the heart is very weak.
Send for a doctor or a corpsman and stay with the victim. Do not give the victim stimulants.

20
Q

What is one of the most serious problems facing the electronics industry today?

A

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

21
Q

Electrostatic voltages produced by walking across carpet

A

1500 to 35,000 V

22
Q

Electrostatic voltage produced by walking on a vinyl floor

A

250 to 12,000 V

23
Q

Electrostatic voltage is produced by a worker at a bench

A

100 to 6000 V

24
Q

Electrostatic voltage is produced by common polybags

A

1200 to 20,000 V

25
Q

What are the causes of electrostatic discharge ESD

A

Friction, separation, induction.

26
Q

What does friction cause

A

A build up of static charge

27
Q

How can separation cause electrostatic discharge

A

Figure it out. Search it on the net.

28
Q

What is induction

A

When instead of charges developed in an object, and then object is brought close to another object which then becomes statically charged.

29
Q

How do you control electrostatic discharge ESD

A

Assume, handle ESD sensitive items, store and transport.

30
Q

What do you assume one controlling ESD

A

Assume that all components and assemblies are sensitive to ESD

31
Q

How do you handle ESD sensitive items

A

Only handle is the sensitive items when you are properly grounded at a static-safe work area.

32
Q

What are important factors in controlling ESD

A

Grounding, shielding, ionization.

33
Q

What is shielding

A

Preventing exposure to an external electrostatic field, or charged objects.

34
Q

What do you use to shield a static sensitive electronic component or Assembly

A

Metallized static-shielding bags.

35
Q

What is an ionizer

A

floods an area with equal amounts of positively and negatively charged particles (ions). A charge material with and attract ions of the opposite polarity and quickly become neutralized

36
Q

Ionization

A

Neutralizing nonconductors by means other than grounding since they do not conduct electricity

37
Q

What is an ion

A

A charged Atom or molecule

38
Q

What is a cation

A

A positively charged ion

39
Q

What is an anion

A

A negatively charged ion

40
Q

You will pick up at ESD precautions

A

41
Q

ESD

A

Electrostatic Discharge
