    .A good way to make yourself  less conductive while working on Live panel is

    • A.

      Standing on metal deck or near metal structure.

    • B.

      Wet deck.

    • C.

      Perspiration.

    • D.

      A,B & C

    Correct Answer
    D. A,B & C
    Explanation
    Standing on a metal deck or near a metal structure, having a wet deck, and perspiring are all good ways to make oneself less conductive while working on a live panel. Metal is a conductor of electricity, so standing on a metal deck or near a metal structure can help to divert the electrical current away from the person. Having a wet deck can also help to reduce conductivity as water is a poor conductor of electricity. Perspiration can create a layer of moisture on the skin, which can act as a barrier between the person and the electrical current. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all correct ways to make oneself less conductive while working on a live panel.

    • C.

      Wear safety shoes

    • D.

      Wear safety shoes and use company approved rubber mat

    Correct Answer
    D. Wear safety shoes and use company approved rubber mat
    Explanation
    Wearing safety shoes and using a company-approved rubber mat is a good way to make yourself less conductive while working on a live panel. Safety shoes are designed to provide insulation and protect against electrical hazards. The rubber mat acts as an additional layer of insulation, reducing the risk of electric shock. By combining both safety measures, the chances of electrical conductivity and potential accidents are minimized, ensuring a safer working environment.
