- [Ghost and Phantom Voltages in Cables](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/ghosts-and-phantoms-in-cables/): Some electrical workers use the terms ghost voltage and/or phantom voltage but these do not seem proper terms for anything to do with voltages in cables or on metallic items such as double insulated appliances. The correct terms that should be used are inductive, capacitive or leakage through a high impedance path voltages.
- [Electrical Incident Investigation – Mistakes](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electrical-incident-investigation-mistakes/): We have investigated many electrical incidents and trained thousands in electrical incident investigations. The results of an investigation should be mainly focused on preventing similar incidents in the future but also to comply with legislation and hopefully minimise fines imposed by the courts.
- [Benefits of PowerLogic Training](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/benefits-of-powerlogic-training/): IntroductionPowerLogic is widely recognised for offering industry-leading training, particularly in Electric Shock Investigations. Despite its established reputation, some organisations may consider alternative providers that align with the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) and Units of Competence.
- [Isolate Before Accessing Roof Spaces](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/isolate-before-accessing-roof-spaces/): From 1 January 2025, all types of Qld workers must isolate the electricity supply before accessing roof spaces. This even includes situations where parts of the body enters the roof space e.g. hands, or moving through a roof space to access a roof. There are two exemptions that apply but these could place Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) exposed to litigation if something was to go wrong.

- [MESA WA 2024 – HIGHLIGHTS](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/mesa-wa-2024-highlights/): Daniel and Chris want to the conference as the Corporate Sponsor. It was a great conference, if not the best yet. The topics covered were varied and very well presented. Participants had plenty to think about and take back to their workplaces. Chris provides the following summary from his perspective on important topics:
- [Electrical Incidents and Prosecutions (Jun-Aug 2024)](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electrical-incidents-and-prosecutions-jun-aug-2024/): The following electrical incidents and prosecutions are but a sample of those occurring across Australia and beyond that we have been made aware of since our last newsletter.Employers and workers are encouraged to ensure all legal requirements and controls are in place when carrying out work to prevent heartache, loss of production, fines, imprisonment, etc.
- [LV Voltage Range and Implications](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/lv-voltage-range-and-implications/): Much of Australia has had a nominal voltage of 230 volts for single phase and 400 volts for three phase (120 degree systems) since the year 2000. Some states were late legislating the change, but it seems we are all ‘on board’ with this now.
- [Electric Shock Investigation Refresher](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electric-shock-investigation-refresher/)
- [Poletop Fires](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/poletop-fires/): Western Power was recently plagued with approximately 70 poletop fires that caused widespread outages and damage to the network. Around 47,000 homes and businesses were without electricity initially with some not getting power restored for days.Western Power advised that each pole replacement could take up to 8 hours to repair and some customers were likely to be without power for an extended period due to the sheer number of poles affected.Of course, we are talking about the tops of wooden poles catching fire. These can be dangerous to repair if the risks are not adequately managed. I remember in the 70’s that a colleague suffered back injuries when a crossarm broke as he was trying to put out a poletop fire – he never worked again.Poletop fires mostly occur with extended dry periods as dust, salt spray and/or other pollutants collect on the surface of insulators. Fires occur with fog, mist and dew but mostly with the onset of drizzle or light rain. This allows leakage currents from the powerlines to pass over the surface of insulators. These leakage currents cause heating, charring and burning at high resistance locations and where the leakage current concentrates such as where:

- [Electric Shock Investigations – Part 3](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electric-shock-investigations-part-3/): In Part 1, the preplanning and first response phases of an electric shock and/or arc flash incident investigation were discussed.In Part 2, we embarked on the very important phase of an investigation and the collection of the evidence.In this Part 3 article, the ins and outs of the analysis and interpretation of the evidence, the development of a hypothesis, the report writing and finalisation of the investigation, are all dealt with.Our ultimate aims with the investigation should include, most importantly, preventing any further incidents and loss of life or injuries, minimising any litigation and prosecution fines, and being prepared for that litigation.
- [Electrical Incidents and Prosecutions (Feb – March 24)](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electrical-incidents-and-prosecutions-feb-march-24/): The following electrical incidents and prosecutions are but a sample of those occurring across Australia and beyond.
- [Electric Shock Investigations – Part 2](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electric-shock-investigations-part-2/): In Part 1, the preplanning and first response phases of an electric shock and/or arc flash incident investigation were discussed in the context that Australia records on average, one electrocution/related fatality per month, and one in every three of these victims belongs to the electrician community. We should also keep in mind that in many cases, if not most, electric shock incidents go unreported.
- [Electrical Incidents and Prosecutions (Dec 23 – Jan 24)](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electrical-incidents-and-prosecutions-dec-23-jan-24/): The following electrical incidents and prosecutions are but a sample of those occuring across Australia and beyond.
- [Project Safety Reports/Risk Assessments](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/project-safety-reports-risk-assessments/): Any major project, such as building a powerline, will require a safety report/risk assessment to be carried out. This process may also lead to the development of a safe work method statement (SWMS) for the construction phase of the project.One of my network clients recently said "When done right the Designer Safety Report (as they call them) can add incredible value to the safety of workers and the network, not only in the construction phase of a project but also for the future operators and workers on that network."
- [Electric Shock Investigations – Part 1](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electric-shock-investigations-part-1/): Electric shock and arc flash incidents continue to pose a grave concern in the electrical industry, despite the prohibition of ‘live’ electrical work by legislation. Disturbingly, Australia records approximately one electrocution-related fatality per month, and one in every three of these victims belongs to the electrical community.
- [Scientific Method](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/scientific-method/): When we conduct an electric shock investigation, we should be following the Scientific Method. This is where we make an observation, form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, draw a conclusion and then communicate the result.
- [Electrical Incidents and Prosecutions (Sept – Nov 2023)](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/electrical-incidents-and-prosecutions-sept-nov-2023/): Electrical incidents and prosecutions we were made aware of since our last newsletter are summarised below.
- [Working De-Energised](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/working-de-energised/): I continue to ‘rabbit on’ about no working ‘live’ and this important topic keeps popping every day. Today's two reminders were:1. I was tidying up some notes this morning and found an article in an Electrical Connection magazine from 2006 titled ‘Working – dead or live’ where Phil Kreveld says “This ought to be the shortest article in any issue of Electrical Connection, for the simple reason that no work should be done on live installations.”2. I also found, while tidying up, a NSW Workcover document titled “Attitudes and Work Practices of Electrician Report Summary 2002”. The document details questions asked of electricians and one of the top responses for safe things that electricians should do was “Stay alive by working dead” but on the flip side, the top response for unsafe things an electrician can do was “Working on live circuits when they don’t need to.”
- [WA Mines Electrical Safety Conference](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/wa-mines-electrical-safety-conference/): PowerLogic was the proud conference partner at the recent WA Mines Electrical Safety Conference in WA.
- [Climbing Power Poles](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/climbing-power-poles/): Climbing power poles can be dangerous business. Not only is there the risks posed by the electricity but there is also the risk of falling off the pole or the power pole falling over.
- [RCDs/RCBOs – Common Issues and Misconceptions](https://www.powerlogic.com.au/rcds-rcbos-common-issues-and-misconceptions/): There is some lack of understanding of RCD protection issues as seen on Facebook and during PowerLogic talks with electrical workers. Some of the common ones are:
