Safety of High Voltage Power Supply

1. Always connect a ground wire

In order to avoid discharging electricity in a manner that will cause bodily harm, either cover the
object with an insulator that has sufficient dielectric strength, or cover it with an object that has
ground potential so that electricity is not discharged to a different location.

2. Do not touch high voltage areas

When operating equipment, avoid contact with parts that output high voltage as well as high
voltage terminals.

Otherwise, electric shock could occur. During normal operation and test operation, extremely
high voltage is applied to the terminals. Touching them could lead to a fatal accident.

4. Share an awareness of danger

Considering the risk of electric shock accidents, if personnel who are experienced in the operation
of high voltage power supplies and who know how to perform appropriate first aid measures are
not nearby, avoid any contact with high voltage power supplies. In addition, if inexperienced
personnel will be operating a high voltage power supply, explain the necessary precautions in
advance (such as avoiding contact with hazardous areas) and make sure they completely
understand the dangers before allowing them to perform the operations.

5. Perform operations with your right hand

In order to reduce the risk of electric current flowing through the important organs of your body
even in the event of electric shock, be sure to operate high voltage power supplies with only your
right hand while keeping your left hand away from the high voltage power supply and all other
equipment.

6. Turn off the power before touching equipment

Be sure to turn off the power before touching any high voltage areas. Or, make sure that the
power has already been turned off. There are capacitors in the output area, which makes it
extremely dangerous to touch that area immediately after the power has been turned off. Pay
careful attention to the electric charge in these capacitors while connecting them all to ground to
discharge the electricity.
