FVD
Voltage at which the audible alarm will sound.
What happens when 50 volts AC is detected ?
These items must accompany the driver while another employee is working aloft.
What are the Insulating Gloves and Insulating blanket ?
This is the minimum clearance between a telecommunications attachment and a properly grounded street lamp bracket.
What is 4 inches ?
This is the first item to check when performing the insulated glove inspection.
What is the return date ?
This is where wheel chocks should be placed when the aerial lift is in use.
What is the side of the working side of the truck ? (the side the boom is over)
This is the preferred method of holding the FVD while using to test for hazardous voltage.
What is with your bare hand spanning the tool and conductive cap ?
This is the preferred action if a vehicle accidently becomes energized.
What is to remain in or on vehicle ?
This is the minimum clearance between a secondary conductor and telecommunication strand at mid-span.
What is 30 inches ?
The correct course of action when an insulating glove fails an inspection test. (other than return date)
What is to cut both gloves from the gauntlet to finger tip ?
Whenever work is performed 4 or more feet off the ground.
When must you be secured when working above ground level ?
These three accessories are essential to proper implementation of the Foreign Voltage detector.
What are the conductive cap, 193A test point, and 40' W1bu grounding cord ?
These are two electrical phenomenon associated with an energized vehicle putting you at risk of shock or electrocution.
What are step and touch potential ?
Minimum clearance required between a grounded system neutral and telecommunication strand.
What is 12 inches ?
You would do this upon receipt, monthly, as well as before and after each use.
What is when should you inspect insulating gloves ?
When gaffs are received, first use each week, and anytime damage is suspected.
When should you perform the cut-out test ?
While testing for induction the W1bu cord must be attached between these two components.
What are the FVD conductive cap and a screw driver with minimum 5" blade ?
This is the preferred method of moving away from an energized vehicle to a safe area.
What is to shuffle your feet keeping them in contact with each other and the earth for at least 50 yards ?
Minimum clearance between a primary conductor carrying 7.6 kV and telecommunication strand at the pole.
What is 40 inches ?
You should never use as work gloves, they are only to be worn over insulating gloves, and it's gauntlet must be 2" shorter than insulating gloves.
What are the parameters of the leather protectors for the insulating gloves ?
This is the highest rung of a ladder from which you may safely work.
What is the fourth rung from the top of the ladder. (including the "V" bar)
This is the describtion of your "umbrella of safety".
What is testing everything within the reach of you or your tools(40 inches) ?
You should call 911 and keep all passers-by away from the involved vehicle.
What are the required actions after safely exiting and moving away from an energized vehicle ?
This is the minimum road clearance for telecommunications within the heavy storm loading district.
What is 18 feet ?
Never during periods of rain, to cover pockets of water on ground, or as a substitute for insulating gloves.
When should insulating blankets NOT be used ?
These are some important factors to consider before using an aerial lift.
What are operator certification, operator weight limit (275#), equipment weight limitations, condition of vehicle and platform, PPE, and work site conditions ?
