Before touching a small capacitor connected to a de-energized circuit, or even one that is completely disconnected, you should do what FIRST?
β’ Capacitor charge storage β a capacitor can remain charged even after power is removed β’ Electrical safety practices β what is done to eliminate stored energy before contact β’ Difference between tagging/labeling and physically making a device safe
β’ Think about what makes a capacitor dangerous even when the circuit is off or disconnected. β’ Which choice actually removes or neutralizes any stored electrical energy in the capacitor? β’ Which options are just identification or tools, and which one directly affects the capacitorβs stored charge?
β’ Verify which action directly ensures the capacitor has no remaining charge before being touched. β’ Eliminate any option that only labels or marks the circuit without changing its electrical state. β’ Check whether any option could increase risk (like causing a spark or arc) instead of safely removing stored energy.
