Introduction to the Plug-In Modules for the 34980A

Keysight 34980A Mainframe User’s Guide
The 34941A, 34942A, 34945A, 34946A, 34947A, 34950A, 34951A, 34952A and
34959A modules are intended for only low-voltage applications, and should not
be connected to circuits that may generate or conduct large transient voltages.
High Energy Sources
These modules are designed to handle inputs up to their rated currents or their
rated powers, whichever is less. Under certain fault conditions, high energy
sources could provide substantially more current or power than a module can
handle. It is important to provide external current limiting, such as fuses, if the
module inputs are connected to high-energy sources.
WARNING
Do not connect any of the modules directly to a mains power outlet. If it is
necessary to measure a mains voltage or any circuit where a large inductive
load may be switched, you must add signal conditioning elements to reduce
the potential transients before they reach the module or the Analog Buses.
CAUTION
Install current limiting devices between high energy sources and the module
inputs.
