All Electrical Power Sources: Safety Precautions
This component is designed to be used in an extra-high-voltage system. Only authorized personnel
should be permitted to carry out work on this system.
Prior to any servicing, grounding hooks should be used to short out all high-voltage parts and
conductors in both the vacuum system and the high-voltage power supply. Screens protecting extra-
high-voltage conductors should be removed only if appropriate action has been taken to ensure that
extra-high-voltage conductors are dead and cannot be reenergized inadvertently.
In addition, all personnel should be aware of:
1. The Electricity (Factories Act) Special Regulations (1908 and 1944), in particular, Regulations
18(d) and 28 of the 1980 Regulations, as amended; and
2. The employer’s responsibility to set up suitable systems to safeguard the health and safety of
employees, according to the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act (1974).
