High Side / Low Side Works
High side and low side works refer to distinct components of electrical systems. High side works involve handling parts of the system that are exposed to higher voltages, such as transformers, distribution lines, and substations. These components typically operate at voltages above 1000 volts and require specialized equipment and training for installation, maintenance, and repair. In contrast, low side works pertain to the portion of the electrical system that operates at lower voltages, typically below 1000 volts, such as electrical panels, outlets, and wiring within buildings. Low side works encompass activities like wiring, circuit installation, and device connection, which are crucial for delivering power safely to end-users. By understanding and effectively managing both high side and low side works, electrical professionals ensure the reliability, efficiency, and safety of electrical systems across various applications.
