b. Operate the locomotive to the speed where transition should take place.
c. The indication on the multimeter should be 10 V ac or more.

WARNING
·
High voltage is used in the operation of equipment. Do not
be misled by the term LOW VOLTAGE. Potentials as low as
50 volts may cause death.
·

before working around the locomotive. Jewelry can catch on
equipment and cause injury, or may short across an electrical
circuit and cause severe burns or electrical shock.
