Electrical hazards

● Fire or sparks due to damage or short circuit in electrical equipment
● Contact with electricity during maintenance work if power not disconnected
● Hazards due to incorrect grounding of electrical equipment

● Electrical shocks because electrical cables or connectors are damaged
● Electrical shocks because electrical equipment is dismantled with the power connected
● Incorrectly wired or disconnected emergency stop switch
● Overload of a control system component due to incorrect electrical connections, damaged control circuitry or incorrect voltage
● Engine out of control due to a failure in the shutdown circuitry
● Unexpected start-up or failed stop
● Crankcase explosion if:

 
- engine not safeguarded at high oil mist levels, due to energy supply failure
- engine not (fully) safeguarded at high oil mist levels, due to failure in oil mist detector circuitry
- engine not (fully) safeguarded at high oil mist levels, due to an incorrect electrical connector or leakage in a pipe connection.
