immediately to whom?
The Power Director/Train Dispatcher. [1.201]
Minimum Approach Distance means?
The distance that must be maintained between personnel and or equipment and all exposed energized
lines. Minimum Approach Distance is measured between the person or the end of a tool, equipment, or
material being used and the exposed energized parts. [1.301]
All overhead wires must be considered energized (Live) at all times except?
When it is known to be de-energized, tested de-energized and grounded. [1.302]
The third rail must be considered energized (live) at all times except?
When it is known to be de-energized, tested de-energized and a Third Rail Warning Device is applied.
[1.303]
Electric engines and Multiple Units (MU) under overhead wires must be considered energized (Live)
except?
When it is known that all Pantographs are down and Pantograph grounding switches are closed, or
overhead wires are de-energized, tested de-energized and properly grounded. [1.501]
Can employees touch or remove unidentified dangling wires, trees, or foreign objects in contact with
overhead wires or third rail?
NO ,employees must take necessary precautions to protect others and equipment and maintain
Minimum Approach Distance . [1.206]
Conductive material such as steel tape measure, wire, wet or non-rated rope, or linen tape-line
containing metallic reinforcement can be used around energized wire, apparatus, equipment, or third
rail. True or False?
