Portable and Vehicle-Mounted Generators

DOE-HDBK-1092-98

Solenoid-driven testing devices

Proximity devices

Diagnostic types of equipment

4. PORTABLE AND VEHICLE-MOUNTED GENERATORS

This chapter would help the reader better understand the complex topic of generators. Topics planned

for inclusion in this chapter are as follows:

When generators need to be grounded

When GFCI protection is needed

Understanding the requirements for different sized generators

Requirements for portable and vehicle-mounted generators

5. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS DURING DECONTAMINATION &

DECOMMISSIONING (D&D) ACTIVITIES

DOE has also experienced several near misses related to D&D activities. Topics planned for

inclusion in this chapter are:

New technology

Methods used to identify potential electrical hazards

Need for accurate electrical drawings

What to do when drawings are not available

Elimination sequence of systems

6. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS DURING WELDING ACTIVITIES

Understanding the electrical hazards associated with welding activities is an area that is greatly

misunderstood. This chapter would help diminish the confusion. Topics planned for inclusion in this

chapter are as follows:

Identifying electrical hazards associated with welding activities

Controlling identified electrical hazards

Understanding employee exposure during welding activities

These areas have been identified as possible chapters in the next revision. Other areas, as they are

identified, will be considered for inclusion in future revisions.
