All temporary electrical extensions must meet the following specifications:

 Flexible vulcanized cables of appropriate gauge throughout their length. The use of twin
cables, household outlets and plugs is not permitted.

 If it is unavoidable to splice cables, it must be verified that they are of the same gauge.
Appropriate connectors or, failing that, vulcanizing tape must be used. A maximum of one
splice per extension is accepted if it is more than 50 m in length.

 Industrial type plugs and sockets, shielded and sealed at the junction with the cable, with
folding cover. The voltage will always be in the “female” plug (Outlet), never in the “male”
(Plug), to avoid direct electrical contacts.

 Temporary electrical extension cables must be routed in areas not exposed to sharp
edges, impacts, pinching, mechanical friction or passing vehicles, as well as sparks or heat
sources that could damage their insulation. If there is exposure to these risks, the cable
must be protected with planks, pipes or buried, indicating the “cable passage” by means of
signage. The depth of the minimum trench will be 40 cm.

 Care will be taken to ensure that the location of the electrical wiring does not coincide with
that of the temporary water supply or discharge.

 Avoid exposing the cables to sudden pulls and contact with water or humidity. If the latter
is not possible, cables and connections with waterproof insulation will be used.
 It is not allowed to connect the stripped end of an electrical cable to a knife wrench or directly
to an electrical outlet, it will always be done with the corresponding plug.

 It should not be unplugged by pulling the cable, it should be disconnected by pulling the plug
itself.

 An electrical equipment or extension can only be connected if the cable and plug have a
conductor and connection terminal for a ground line respectively and the power outlet is also
connected to ground.

 All construction machinery or electrical equipment must have an effective grounding system,
unless it has double insulation and absence of exposed metal parts.

 All electrical equipment and installations on site should only be connected to power circuits
that have overload protection with appropriate thermomagnetic switches and differential
switches with automatic disconnection in case of ground fault.

 If any defect is found in the electrical installations, such as loose conductors, without or with
poor insulation, sparks or traces thereof, electric motors that emit smoke, etc., the worker
must disconnect the electrical power supply to the equipment, always and when you are
aware of the location of the electrical power source, then immediately inform your superior,
 CODE : PISG018SG

APPROVED : JCL
DATE : 2009/11

who will inform the responsible electrician. When a thermo-magnetic switch or differential
circuit breaker is activated, the worker will proceed in the same way so that the cause of the
failure is located and the same is eliminated.

 The personnel involved must know the location, the correct type of extinguisher and know
how to use it when a fire occurs. Water should never be used to put out an electrical fire.

 Explosion-proof electrical installations and accessories must be used in hazardous areas such
as those containing flammable vapors, liquids or gases, combustible dusts and fiber that may
cause fires or explosions if subjected to an ignition source.

 In general and especially in areas exposed to rain, lighting lamps, electrical distribution
panels, fuse boxes, outlets and electrical equipment must be protected from exposure to the
elements. Failing that, waterproof installations should be used.

 Never operate live tools, equipment, or electrical connections with wet hands or on wet
surfaces.

 Only fiberglass ladders or ladders (UL Listed) approved for electrical work should be used
when performing energized electrical work or when a potential electrical hazard exists.
Portable metal ladders are not permitted and will be used in accordance with the ( Ladders
and Platforms Instruction)

 Always remember that a circuit can be energized even if it is locked and signaled.
 Opening energized electrical boxes should be done only by qualified personnel. If the
qualified person must leave the area, the box must be closed with the locks activated, or the
area must be secured to prevent the entry of unauthorized persons and danger labels,
security tape and appropriate signs must be posted to prevent Prevent all personnel (Qualified
or unqualified) from the safety risks present.

6.3 Guidelines for carrying out work with specific voltage levels

6.3.1 Low Voltage Power

 Isolate the part of the installation in which you are going to work from any possible power
source, by opening the sectioning devices closest to the work area.

 Lock each of the isolating devices in the open position, if possible, by placing the “NO
OPERATION” labeling card on its control.

 Check, using a verifier, the absence of voltage in each of the electrically separated parts of
the installation.

 Before relying on any test instrument, review the operating conditions of the tester on a known
energized circuit. Verify that the correct circuit has been isolated.

 Wear appropriate PPE as specified in Table 2. An employee can only work unaccompanied
on a de-energized system.

 An employee may only perform testing and troubleshooting of systems energized at this
voltage level. Installation and removal of jumper cables, wiring, or energized system devices
should require a minimum of two employees.

 When it is not possible to turn off the circuit, the work can be carried out energized, adjusting
to the following conditions:
 CODE : PISG018SG
REVISION : 01
ELECTRICAL WORK PROCEDURE PAGE : 8 of 14
APPROVED : JCL
DATE : 2009/11

 An appropriate plan, including risk assessment of flammable atmospheres (if

applicable), appropriate tools for work under those conditions and emergency response,
must be developed.
 Personal protective equipment must be worn by both employees (Table 2).
 Hand tools must be isolated.
 You must have insulating rugs or benches.

6.3.2 Medium and High Voltage Energy

Identify the area and elements of the facility where the work will be carried out, the process
described below will be followed, and it is developed sequentially in five stages (Five Golden
Rules):

STEP 1 / Disconnect . Open all sources of tension with a visible cut. Disconnectors,
switches and circuit breakers.

STEP 2 / Prevent any possible feedback: The maneuvering devices used to disconnect the
installation must be secured against any possible reconnection, preferably by blocking the
maneuvering mechanism, and a sign must be placed, when necessary, to prohibit the maneuver. (
Equipment Lockout and Tagout Instruction).

STEP 3/ Verify absence of voltage : The absence of voltage must be verified in all active
elements of the electrical installation in, or as close as possible, to the work area.
At high voltage, the correct operation of the voltage absence verification devices must be checked
before and after said verification.

STEP 4 / Grounding and short circuit : The parts of the installation where work is going to be
done must be “grounded” and “shorted”.

 In High Voltage installations.

 In low voltage installations that, due to induction, or for other reasons, can accidentally
become live.
 CODE : PISG018SG
REVISION : 01
ELECTRICAL WORK PROCEDURE PAGE : 9 of 14
APPROVED : JCL
DATE : 2009/11

Grounding and short-circuiting equipment or devices must first be connected to the ground and then to
the elements to be grounded, and must be visible from the work area.

Ground connections should be placed as close to the work area as possible.

The conductors used to carry out the grounding, the short circuit and, where applicable, the bridge, must
be suitable and have sufficient section for the short circuit current of the installation in which they are
placed.

Precautions will be taken to ensure that grounds remain “properly connected” during the time the work is
performed.

STEP N°5 / Protect against nearby live elements, if applicable, and establish safety signage to delimit
and mark the work area.

6.3.3 Replacement of the service upon completion of the work.

The service of a Medium and High Voltage installation will only be restored when it is
completely certain that there is no one left working there.

The operations leading to the commissioning of the facilities will be carried out in the
following order:

 At the workplace: The grounding and complementary protective material will be

removed, and the person responsible for the work, after the last survey, will give notice
that the work has been completed.
 At the source of the feed: Once the communication is received that the work has been
completed, the signaling material will be removed and the cutting and maneuvering
devices will be unlocked.

6.4.4. Work and maneuvers on transformers:

 The transformer will be taken out of service by opening the lowest voltage circuits first and
then the highest voltage circuits.
 In the event that there is only a load-cutting device in the high-voltage circuit, the
disconnection order will be reversed.
 The absence of voltage will be verified in the high voltage terminals and in the low voltage
terminals.
 The secondary circuit of a current transformer must always be closed through the power
supply devices or short-circuited, taking care that it is never left open.

6.4.5 Work and maneuvers on high voltage capacitors:

 Once the capacitor or a bank of capacitors has been separated from its power source by
means of a visible cut, before working on them they must be short-circuited and grounded,
waiting for the necessary time for their discharge.

6.4.6 Work on alternators, electric motors, dynamos and high-performance electric motors
strain:

Before handling

 That the machine is stopped.

 That the output terminals are shorted and grounded.
 That the fire protection is blocked.
 That the motor feedback rifles are removed, when it maintains the machine in permanent
tension and
 That the atmosphere is neither flammable nor explosive

6.4.7 Work in proximity to high voltage installations in service (Not protected)
