Electrical safety standards Electrical safety standards Electrical safety is a system of organizational measures and technical means to prevent harmful and dangerous effects on workers from electric current, electric arc, electromagnetic field and static electricity. The electrical safety develops with the technical progress. In 1989 OSHA promulgated a much-needed regulation in the General Industry Regulations. Several standards are defined for control of hazardous energy, or lockout/tagout. In 1995 OSHA was successful in promulgation of regulations for utility. In 1994 were established Electrical Safety Foundation International non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to promoting electrical safety at home and in the workplace. Standards are compared with
Armature (electrical) design of the machine and its performance, affecting such factors as commutation in a DC machine or the waveform of an AC machine. Armature wiring is made from copper or aluminum. Copper armature wiring enhances electrical efficiencies due to its higher electrical conductivity. Aluminum armature wiring is lighter and less expensive than copper. Armature (electrical) In electrical engineering, an armature is the power-producing component of an electric machine. The armature can be on either the rotor (rotating part) or the stator (stationary part) of the electric machine. The armature interacts with the magnetic field (magnetic flux) in the air-gap; the
