The short answer: Even if the power supply is interrupted, the wire, and pressure lines can produce movement or force. The LOTO plan should treat the complete end of the movement, the safe discharge of the pressure and the prevention of the resumption of energy as separate steps.
How to control the energy?
If possible, the foam is brought to a natural and energy-free position. if this is not possible, the pim, connection or mechanical blockage method specified by the manufacturer is applied.
What to do for Volan?
The calculated stop time of the equipment is expected after the engine has been stopped. Full position is verified by a rotation indicator, an observation window or other reliable method.
How to isolate the pressure line?
The source valve is closed and locked, the line is discharged from the controlled point and the possibility of repressure is prevented. More power or cross connection is required.
How to handle the battery?
The hydraulic or pneumatic battery is dissolved or mechanically separated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Risk of movement and pressure recovery is assessed instead of looking only at the manometer.
