One of the rank 5 evolutions for the Sabotage power is called Explosive Hack. The description for this power reads:
Synthetics explode when destroyed, dealing 490 points of damage across a 4 meter radius
Having my enemy explode after I've killed it with Nova could leave me in an even more vulnerable position than usual, as I often run around with a single bar of health in the middle of a fight repeating Charge-> Nova-> Charge.
Will the explosion from this skill cause damage to Shepard and her squadmates as well? I'm playing a Vanguard, so I'm rather up close and personal with most enemies, and I need to know if I'll have to take into account random explosions that will damage me when I'm killing things.

No, I've tried that because I was wondering the same thing- as with the rest of ME3, there is no self-damage attached to it, only the enemy explodes.
