-
wrapping the person in a blanket and pulling to a safe area
-
calling an electrician
-

For your safety, before checking a fault in a mains operated power supply unit, first
-
short the leads of the filter capacitor
-
Correct Answerturn off the power and remove the power plug
-
check the action of the capacitor bleeder resistance
-
remove and check the fuse in the power supply

Wires carrying high voltages in a transmitter should be well insulated to avoid
-
Correct Answershort circuits
-
overheating
-
over modulation
-
SWR effects
Never work on any Mains appliance unless you are competent to do so. Before working on an appliance that uses mains supply, always turn the power off and remove the plug from the outlet. In a high power transmitter, high voltages are present. The wires are well insulated to avoid short circuits within the amplifier or transmitter.

A residual current device is recommended for protection in a mains power circuit because it
-
reduces electrical interference from the circuit
-
Correct Answerremoves power to the circuit when the phase and neutral currents are not equal
-
removes power to the circuit when the current in the phase wire equals the current in the earth wire
-
limits the power provided to the circuit

An earth wire should be connected to the metal chassis of a mains-operated power supply to ensure that if a fault develops, the chassis
-
Correct Answerdoes not develop a high voltage with respect to earth
-
does not develop a high voltage with respect to the phase lead
-
becomes a conductor to bleed away static charge
-
provides a path to ground in case of lightning strikes

The purpose of using three wires in the mains power cord and plug on amateur radio equipment is to
-
make it inconvenient to use
-
Correct Answerprevent the chassis from becoming live in case of an internal short to the chassis
-
prevent the plug from being reversed in the wall outlet
-
prevent short circuits

An isolating transformer is used to
-
ensure that faulty equipment connected to it will blow a fuse in the distribution board
-
Correct Answerensure that no voltage is developed between either output lead and ground
-
ensure that no voltage is developed between the output leads
-
step down the mains voltage to a safe value
