Water Damaged Equipment Procedures 3

[jraef]

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, NEMA has released this free guide to handling water damaged electrical equipment.
I am purposely cross posting this to other related fora. Please do not red flag it in other areas because not everyone reads every forum, and this paper covers a broad spectum of equipment types.

Jraef:
That is very good support to the community, thanks for providing sources of reliable technical information. You deserve another star.

I made this into an FAQ, along with BJC's link and another I had from an old thread.

Thanks jraef!

I wish that we had those guidelines when we had frequency inverters flooded a few years ago! (The Flash-over thread). PLS.
