Setup and use
Attention:
This evaluation hardware has high-voltage terminals and exposed areas. To avoid electric
shock, use appropriate measures. The hardware does not have any overcurrent and
overvoltage protection and shutdown system. Use appropriate protective epoxy shield or box
to cover the hardware to prevent any possible injury.
Attention:
Always observe the input and output voltages and keep them below 450 V. Use lab test power
supply with current limit and set it in a proper value to avoid catastrophic damage to the
board in case of any failure. Eye and ear protection is recommended for safety as all power
electronic labs employ it. For any safety concern and technical question reach out to your
sales team.
