Electrical wiring in the United Kingdom lawnmower does it need an RCD?" The risk of electrical shock on construction sites can be reduced by several measures, including reduction of the normal 230 volt distribution voltage to 110 volts for electrical lighting and power tools. By using a centre-tapped transformer, each conductor of the circuit is only at 55 volts with respect to earth. This reduces the chance of dangerous electrical shock when using power tools in wet locations. Where 230 volts must be used, a residual current device (RCD) can be used to detect small leakage currents and automatically isolate faulty equipment. In sites where hazardous
Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination An Operational Reactor Safeguard Examination (ORSE) is an examination conducted by senior United States Navy personnel on board U.S. Navy nuclear-powered ships, specifically supercarriers and submarines. The purpose of an ORSE is to ensure that the engineering (submarines) or reactor (aircraft carriers) department of a nuclear-powered vessel is operating their reactor(s) in a safe manner. The exam also ensures the readiness of the engineering department to safely respond to nuclear power plant casualties. The ORSE board is made up of 3 junior board members (prior Engineers/Reactor Officers) and a senior board member (a prior commanding officer)
