Equipment PROTECTION from short-circuit current is accomplished by use of fuses and other circuit
protection devices.
A Voltage DIVIDER is a series circuit in which desired portions of the
source voltage may be tapped off for use in equipment. Both negative and positive voltage can be provided to the
loads by the proper selection of the reference point (ground).

ELECTRICAL Safety PRECautionS must be observed. a fatal shock can occur from 0.1 ampere
of current. Voltages as low as 30 volts have been recorded as causing sufficient current to be fatal.
ALL LIVE ELECTRICAL Circuits shall be treated as potential hazards at all times.
ELECTRONIC or ELECTRICAL Equipment discovered to be faulty or unsafe should be reported immediately
to proper authority.
ELECTRICAL or ELECTRONIC Equipment should be used and repaired by authorized
personnel only.
A CO2 EXTINGUIsHER should
be used to extinguish electrical fires.
First AID for ELECTRICAL SHOCK includes the following
actions:
. Remove the
victim from the source of the shock.
.
Check the victim to see if the person is breathing.
.
If the victim is not breathing, give artificial ventilation. The preferred method is mouth-to-mouth.
. CPR may be necessary if the heartbeat has stopped,
but do not attempt this unless you have been trained in its use. OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSIsTANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

3-124
A32.
A33. 60 volts.

3-125
A45. Because of the 2-volt drop across the internal resistance, only 48 volts is available
for the rest of the circuit.

A55. 1.35 watts.
A56. The series-parallel network drops the remaining source voltage and
is used to take the place of a single resistor (75 ohms) when the required ohmic value is not available in a single
resistor.
A57. R3 = 2 watts; R5 = 6 watts.
A58. The ground (reference point) is placed in the proper point in the voltage divider so that positive and
negative voltages are supplied.
A59. NEVER! All energized electric circuits should be considered
potentially dangerous.
A60. You should immediately report this condition
to a qualified technician.
A61. Only trained, qualified personnel.
