Clearing up a couple of LOTO myths

Parent Category: Safety Info Posts
Category: Lockout Tagout

Over the last several years the SAFTENG team has been seeing some interesting concepts when it comes to Lockout/Tagout applications and methods.  I want to air these out and get some dialogue started so that everyone can understand the errors of these myths...

Very good point on the 50 volts.In the Power Generation 48 volts is circulated through the grounding grid to detect any loss of ground. If the ground detection relay is not locked out there will be 48 volts at the generator exciter when maint. is performed on the brushes and exciter. you always hear someone say "Its under 50 volts and doesn't require LOTO." One of your best articles to date. Marty
