Which of the listed precautions should be observed prior to cleaning the insulation of an electric motor?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Electrical safety and lockout/tagout procedures before working on equipment • Risks of electric shock and accidental starting of machinery during maintenance • General good practice for maintenance on electric motors

💭 Think About

• If you are going to touch or work near the windings/insulation of an electric motor, what is the most serious hazard you must eliminate first? • Which option directly removes the risk of the motor unexpectedly starting or having live voltage present while you are cleaning? • Which choices might actually increase risk (fire, fumes, heat damage) rather than improving safety?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option deals with isolating the power source rather than just changing operating conditions. • Check whether any choice would create additional hazards like overheating, poor ventilation, or damage to insulation. • Confirm that the best practice aligns with standard electrical maintenance safety procedures used before hands-on work.
