When disassembling electric motors for maintenance or overhaul, what should be done FIRST?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Safety procedures before maintenance on electrical equipment • Purpose of lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) systems • Steps in proper disassembly and reassembly of electric motors

💭 Think About

• Think about what must be ensured before any work begins on an electrical motor to protect personnel from shock or unexpected startup. • Ask yourself: which option prevents an accident right away, and which options are about preserving parts or helping with reassembly later? • Consider the typical sequence: safety, identification/marking, protection of parts, then storage/housekeeping. Where would each choice fit in that sequence?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action directly eliminates electrical and mechanical hazards before touching the motor. • Identify which options (A, B, C, D) are about organization and preservation of components, not immediate safety. • Confirm that standard practice and regulations treat energy isolation and securing as the first priority before maintenance.
