In a workshop environment,, yes. I used to work on 200v 3ph 400hz all the time... Other guys used to work on CRT displays,,20kV (ish) daily.. Sometimes there is no alternative to working live, especially when trying to diagnose a faultDespite the advice to isolate is it possible he had the machine live to try and detect the fault? Is that something you might reasonably do?
of course you should do it unplugged / dead, but im sure everyone here has done fault finding live because its easier and quicker a timesDespite the advice to isolate is it possible he had the machine live to try and detect the fault? Is that something you might reasonably do?
It was in an M&S store so I assume an industrial machine costing £1000+As someone said in the comments page of the article Patch, is it worth fault finding in a microwave when a new one can be picked up for less than £10 these days?
