20-10-00-02 - Safety Practices - Description (AIRBUS)

1. General
For work on the electrical system it is necessary:
- to know and obey the standard safety practices,
- to have a good knowledge of the electrical standard practices,
- to have a good knowledge of requirements (processes, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS etc.) before you start th
e work.
This is necessary to prevent injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.
This document gives general safety practices for work on the aircraft electrical systems and parts of these sys
tems such as: cables, cable routing, conduits, connections, splices, etc.
These safety practices do not replace local regulations specified by local authorities.

WARNING: THE CORRECT SEPARATION BETWEEN SENSITIVE WIRING AND WIRING OF OTHER SYSTEM
S IS NECESSARY TO PRESERVE THE CRITICAL IGNITION SOURCE PREVENTION FEATURES O
F THE SYSTEM DESIGN AND IS THEREFORE CLASSIFIED AS A CRITICAL DESIGN CONFIGURA
TION CONTROL LIMITATION (CDCCL). A CDCCL MUST BE KEPT IN THE APPROVED CONFIGU
RATION TO MAKE SURE THAT UNSAFE CONDITIONS DO NOT DEVELOP AS A RESULT OF MOD
IFICATION, MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.

CAUTION: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CO
NDITION (ELECTRICALLY AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE).
WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP WIRIN
G, COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO THIS:
- PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC. AS NECESSARY ON WI
RING AND COMPONENTS
- REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND OTHER CONTAMINA
TION.
THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION AND DAMAGE TO THE
WIRING INSTALLATION.
IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM CHAPTER 20-55-00, CLEANING.
2. Maintenance

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT NO AC OR DC POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRCRAFT ELE
CTRICAL CIRCUITS.
THERE IS A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION IF THE AC OR DC POWER STAYS CONNECTED.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK INTO THE END OF A FIBER-OPTIC CABLE. THERE IS A RISK OF LASER R
ADIATION, WHICH YOU WILL NOT SEE. LASER RADIATION IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR
EYES.
A. Electrical Safety Practices
Ref. Fig. Safety Practices - Typical Tag
- Before you start work:
- Open, safety and tag the circuit breaker(s) related to the system/equipment to prevent the
supply of electrical power to the system/equipment during the maintenance work.
- This prevents the risk of:
- Electric shocks that can occur if you touch energized wiring connections, terminals, etc.

- Short circuits that can occur if metal tools or parts accidentally touch energized wiring, ter
minals, contacts, etc.

NOTE: Some circuit breakers (A320 family only) have a red threaded bush (P/N A92529086000). Thi
s bush prevents reset of the circuit breaker in flight (the crew cannot pull it). If, for maintenan
ce safety reasons, it is necessary to open such a circuit breaker, you can remove the red threa
ded bush with a standard wrench.

WARNING: BEFORE YOU USE A MATERIAL REFERRED TO IN THIS PUBLICATION, YOU MUST KNOW
ALL OF THE APPLICABLE PRECAUTIONS.
THESE PRECAUTIONS TELL YOU HOW TO:
- USE THE MATERIAL SAFELY,
- KEEP THE MATERIAL SAFELY,
READ THE SAFETY DATA SHEETS FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR THE SUPPLIER OF TH
E MATERIAL TO LEARN THE RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS. OBEY YOUR LOCAL REGUL
ATIONS.

WARNING: USE SOLVENTS/CLEANING AGENTS, SEALANTS AND OTHER SPECIAL MATERIALS ONL
Y WITH A GOOD FLOW OF AIR THROUGH THE WORK AREA.
THESE MATERIALS ARE POISONOUS AND FLAMMABLE AND SKIN IRRITANTS.
OBEY THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.
PUT ON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
DO NOT GET THEM IN YOUR MOUTH.
DO NOT SMOKE.
DO NOT BREATHE THE GAS.
GET MEDICAL HELP IF YOUR SKIN OR EYES BECOME IRRITATED.
B. Materials

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE ELECTRIC TOOLS ON THE AIRCRAFT BECAUSE THERE ARE
RISKS OF ELECTROCUTION OR EXPLOSION. IF THERE ARE LOCAL REGULATIONS RELA
TED TO ELECTRIC TOOLS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY THEM.

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE ELECTRIC TOOLS IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE RISKS OF
EXPLOSION (FUEL TANKS, FUEL VAPOUR AREAS, ETC.). REFER TO YOUR LOCAL REGUL
ATIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY THEM. SOME ELECTRIC TOOLS SUCH AS HEA
T GUNS, SOLDERING IRONS AND TOOLS WITHOUT INTRINSIC PROTECTION ARE NOT
PERMITTED IN THESE AREAS.
C. Tools

- Never use electric tools which deliver an energy of more than 0.02 millijoule in fuel tanks or in ar
eas where there are flammable vapors.
- Never use heat-generating tools in the fuel tanks or in areas where there are flammable vapors.
- Use only crimp-type contacts, terminals, splices, sleeves (non-heat shrinkable sleeves) in these
areas.

D. Cables

- For cables in harnesses that are identified by a P/N (engine, landing gear, fuel tanks, etc.), also r
efer to the applicable manufacturer documentation.
