Deadfacing or dead-facing is the practice of removing power from an electrical circuit prior to mating or demating the interface of the circuit.[1] Deadfacing is used to prevent short circuits, as well as arcing that could damage circuitry, present a shock hazard, or introduce molten metal into the area of the circuit,[1][2] or that could potentially trigger an explosion.[3]
