DE-ENERGISATION/RE-ENERGISATION Clause Samples
The DE-ENERGISATION/RE-ENERGISATION clause outlines the procedures and conditions under which electrical power to a facility or equipment may be safely disconnected (de-energised) and subsequently restored (re-energised). In practice, this clause typically specifies the required notifications, safety checks, and authorisations before power can be turned off or back on, often to allow for maintenance, repairs, or emergency interventions. Its core function is to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment by providing a clear, controlled process for managing electrical power interruptions and restorations.
