Low Voltage Power Supply

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for the operation, inspection, and troubleshooting of low voltage power supplies. The apparatus must only be used for its designed purpose, following the supplier's instructions. Pre-start checks include ensuring the power supply has a current inspection test tag, inspecting casing and terminals for damage, and verifying that connectors are securely attached and functional. Damaged or untested equipment must not be used.

Operational precautions emphasize connecting the power supply to a circuit protected by a safety switch and verifying voltage, current type, and polarity before use. Live apparatus must never be connected. Users must switch off the power supply before handling cables or terminals and avoid exceeding the manufacturer-specified voltage. Troubleshooting requires turning off and unplugging the unit before inspecting connections or fuses, with replacements matching the recommended type and amperage. Adherence to these protocols ensures safe and effective operation of low voltage power supplies.
