| Abstract |
This data sheet, prepared by a group of engineers of the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS), recalls the French regulations concerning the operation of construction site equipment in the vicinity of overhead electric lines, and shows that merely earthing this type of equipment does not provide adequate protection for workers operating the equipment or slingers. The earthing circuit should be supplemented by an automatic circuit-breaker sensitive to fault current or fault voltage. Otherwise, construction site equipment not fitted with an automatic circuit-breaker of this kind should be kept well away from all electrical installations, as prescribed by regulations. Procedure to be followed in the case of accidental contact with overhead lines. |
