The fundamental rule of protection against electric shock is provided by the document IEC 61140 which covers both electrical installations and electrical equipment.

Hazardous-live-parts shall not be accessible and accessible conductive parts shall not be hazardous.

This requirement needs to apply under:

  • Normal conditions, and
  • Under a single fault condition

Various measures are adopted to protect against this hazard, and include:

  • Automatic disconnection of the power supply to the connected electrical equipment
  • Special arrangements such as:
    • The use of class II insulation materials, or an equivalent level of insulation
    • Non-conducting location, out of arm’s reach or interposition of barriers
    • Equipotential bonding
    • Electrical separation by means of isolating transformers
