Removal Procedure
Danger:Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.The High Voltage Disabling procedure includes the following steps:
-Identify how to disable high voltage.

-Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.

-Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
