The capacitor stored energy hazard evaluation is fully integrated in ETAP 20.5 and allows for safety warning labels for capacitor hazards. Features include: Consider the effect of capacitor stored energy (connected or disconnected from power supply)
This article describes methods to identify hazards and assess the risks associated with capacitor stored energy. Building on previous research, we establish practical thresholds for various hazards that are associated with stored capacitor energy, including shock, arc flash, short circuit heating, and acoustic energy release.

Consider the effect of capacitor stored energy (connected or disconnected from power supply) Quickly evaluate capacitor hazards and generate immediate labels for single locations or thousands of locations by using a batch process (i.e., no requirement for one line diagram)
The Stanford Laboratory Risk Assessment Tool provides a framework assessment that maps onto the scientific method, melding with the researchers already use to answer scientific questions. This tool allows researchers to systematically identify and control hazards to reduce risk of injuries and incidents.

Discharging a Capacitor
Capacitors should not be charged to a voltage higher than that stated on their labelling or product information sheets. Electrolytic capacitors should be connected with the correct polarity. It''s also important to ensure the capacitor is discharged before touching it: disconnect the power, then operate the circuit to discharge the capacitor through the resistance before dismantling the ...
