CHOOSING THE RIGHT ELECTRICAL Equipment

Electrical systems are dangerous and its important to ensure you work safely.

Safety Best Practices

Ask yourself the following questions:

1) Is the device/power supply turned off and/or unplugged?

2) Do I have eye protection on?

3) Do I understand what I want to test and why?

4) Am I using the right equipment?

Although the urge is there to start poking and proding. It is easy to create a short circuit and destroy your electronics board.
