PART 1. EVALUATE / TEST ASSESSMENT

A. What is the effect of electrical shock to the human body?

The electrical shock can cause a burn where the current enters and leaves your body.
The electricity may have injured blood vessels, nerves, and muscles. The electricity also
could have affected your heart and lungs. These effects may clear up with time or be
permanent

B. What are the actions to be taken when an electrical emergency arises?

If you find yourself involved in an electrical emergency on workplace it's key that you know
what (and what not) to do.

 Step 1: Don't touch someone receiving an electric shock - If one of your colleagues
receives a serious electric shock, your first reaction will likely be to go to their aid. But first,
stop and think. The human body is an excellent conductor of electricity, meaning that the
charge that just passed through your co-worker could easily move into you if you make
contact with them.
 Step 2: Call emergency services - Ideally, you'll have someone with you so that steps two
and three can happen at the same time. However, if you're alone, it's important that you
phone emergency services as soon as possible. 
 Step 3: Turn off the power - If it's safe to do so without putting yourself in danger, turn off
the power – this makes the emergency site much safer to move around when the
ambulance arrives, and prevents further damage.

 Step 4: Administer first aid - Only once the victim is away from the current can you
approach them and begin first aid.  Before professionals arrive, knowing how to treat an
injured person can literally be the difference between life and death for those involved in
electrical emergencies. This is why it's important that electrical technicians are fully trained
in how to perform first aid.

C. What is the safety precaution or procedure of using megger tester?

Megger Safety Precautions

 While using a megger, you could be injured or damage equipment you are working on if
the following MINIMUM safety precautions are not observed.  

 Use megger on high-resistance measurements only, such as insulation measurements or

to check two separate conductors on a cable.  

 Never touch the test leads while the handle is being cranked.  

 De-energize and discharge the circuit completely before connecting a megger. 

 Disconnect the item being checked from other circuitry, if possible, before using a megger. 

D. What is the purpose of selector switch in multimeters?

This multimeter has two selector switches: a function switch and a range switch. The

purpose of selector switch in multimeters it will indicates the measured values on
the multimeters. RANGE SELECTOR KNOB/selector switch- makes it possible to select
different function and range of the meter.

E. What is (CRO) cathode ray oscilloscope?

A Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is an instrument generally used in a laboratory

to display measure and analyze various waveforms of electrical circuits. A cathode ray
oscilloscope is a very fast X-Y plotter that can display an input signal versus time or another
signal. Its reliability, stability, and ease of operation make it suitable as a general purpose
laboratory instrument.

1. How will you avoid electrical shock while working with electricity on board ship?

An electrical power failure on board not only jeopardizes vessel’s safe operations but
also may be linked to electrical hazards, putting at risk crew lives, especially electricians’
who are responsible to handle these systems on board, and also personnel attempting
electrical power connections during shipbuilding, ship repair or ship breaking.

To avoid electrical shock while working with electricity on board ship, I suggest wearing
non-conductive protection on your head, face, hands and feet. Use insulated tools or
handling equipment, such as non-conductive ropes and protective shields. Dirt and
sogginess increase the risk of shock. Keep your PPE clean and dry.

2. Which is more fatal to human voltages or current? Why?

The human body has an inherent high resistance to electric current, which means
without sufficient voltage a dangerous amount of current cannot flow through the body
and cause injury or death. Current will kill you but some amount of voltage is required to
flow that current in the body breaking the human body resistance. In other words, an
enough power is required to pass in the human body for proper electric shock. . An
electrical current at 1,000 volts is no more deadly than a current at 100 volts, but tiny
changes in amperage can mean the difference between life and death when a person
receives an electrical shock.

3. What is the purpose of megger testing to the electrical motor?

When it comes to checking out electric motors, there are special measuring

instruments that may be used to detect and diagnose malfunctions.
The insulation resistance tester, generally known by its trade name Megger, is capable of
providing critical information regarding the condition of motor insulation. The purpose is to
to help prevent hazards such as electric shock and short-circuits caused when
the insulation in electrical devices, parts, and equipment used in industrial plants, buildings,
and other settings degrades over long periods of use.
