Electrical Exam Term
Energized
Electrically connected to or having a source of voltage, making a conductor or equipment potentially dangerous.
Detailed Explanation
Working on or near energized equipment is the leading cause of electrical injuries. OSHA and NFPA 70E require de-energizing circuits before work whenever possible. When live work is unavoidable, workers must use appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) rated for the arc flash and shock hazard. Always test with a voltage tester to verify de-energized status before touching any conductor — the rule is 'test before you touch.'
