After applying a method for phase identification, what should be done?

The best course of action after applying a method for phase identification is to permanently post the information near the terminals. This approach ensures that anyone working in the vicinity of the equipment can easily reference the phase information when needed. By having the phase identification visibly posted, it helps maintain safety and accuracy in operations, particularly in environments where multiple personnel may interact with the equipment.

Permanent postings serve as a reliable source of information, reducing the likelihood of errors that can arise from misidentifying phases. It aids in providing clear guidance for maintenance, troubleshooting, or any operational activities undertaken in relation to the equipment.

The other options, such as using sharpies or dry erase markers, are not as effective in ensuring that the information remains clear, visible, and consistent over time. Additionally, documenting solely back at the shop may lead to delays or miscommunication if the information is not readily accessible at the point of use. Having the information visibly displayed enhances safety and operational efficiency in the work environment.
