Fundamentals of Electrical Safety Theory: Current State and Development Prospects

详细

This article considers the current state and development prospects of the fundamentals of the electrical safety theory. The concept of electrical safety is refined. It is found out that, according to the system of labor safety standards, it coincides in content with the concept of an electrical safety assurance system. It is noted that this concept can be defined in various ways that describe electrical safety as a certain state in which human beings interact with areas of their life and activities. The list of fundamental tasks solved in the theory that has been laid out is formulated. Ten tasks are distinguished, and subtasks are distinguished in some of them. The attained solution level for each task is indicated. The current state of electrical safety theory allows setting up optimal engineering electrical safety assurance systems on particular sites and ensure the highest level of electrical safety at given costs.
