What is the purpose of tags?
To prevent the improper operation of a component, piece of equipment, system, or portion of system when isolated or in an abnormal condition.
Danger- shock hazard signs are used when?
Voltages are between 30 and 500 volts
Caution tag
A yellow tag used as a precautionary measure to provide temporary special instructions or to indicate that unusual caution must be exercised to operate equipment.
Danger tag
Commonly called the red tag, is used to prevent the operation of equipment that could jeopardize the safety of personnel or endanger the equipment.
Out-of-calibration
Orange labels used to identify instruments that are out of calibration and will not give accurate measurements.
Out-of-commission
A red label used to identify instruments that will not indicate correct measurements because they are defective or isolated from the system.
What is the circuit designation of salinity cells?
SB
What is the circuit designation of anemometers?
HD/HE
What kind of electrical distribution systems found on navy ships?
Ungrounded
What is a reason for an ungrounded system?
An ungrounded system is to achieve max system reliability and continuity of electrical power under combat conditions.
What is the perfect ungrounded system?
It is when the insulation is perfect on all cables, switchboards, circuit breakers, generators, and load equipment; no filter capacitors are connected between ground and conductors.
The more resistance the…
Better the system is insulated; therefore, less current will flow between the conductor and the ground.
What are interlock switches?
Used to prevent technical and maintenance personnel from coming into contact with electrical potentials in excess of 30V
Isolated receptacle circuits are used to?
Help reduce the inherent hazard of leakage currents where portable tools and appliances are plugged in and out.

CO2 gas extinguisher
Effective on any type of fire, particularly electrical fires
PKP
(Potassium bicarbonate) very effective on class Bravo fires. Not recommended for electrical fires because it causes corrosion of electrical components.
Soda-acid
Effective only on class A fires. Not recommended for electrical fires- acts as a conductor, not effective on burning compounds.
Foam
Very effective on burning compounds such as oil and similar minerals. Not satisfactory for electrical fire; good conductor or electricity.
Halon 1301
Effective on all classes of fire except class D. It is colorless, odorless gas the does not conduct electricity or leave residue.
1 milliamperes (0.001 amp)
Shock is possible
