Introduction
In addition to the High Voltage Equipment Personnel Operating
Guidelines and the Microwave Radiation Personnel Operating
Guidelines given in this chapter, included by reference are the
following pertinent sections of the International Standard EN60215,
Safety Requirements for Radio Transmitting Equipment:
High Voltage Equipment
Personnel Operating Guidelines
This guideline document presents operating practices for operators
and technicians who work with high voltage equipment. In the
context of this discussion any voltage that is lethal is viewed as
"high voltage." Therefore, even prime power (115 to 440VAC) is
dangerous because prime power potentials have been known to
cause death or injury.
Electrical circuits operate quickly and do not allow a careless
individual a second chance. When dealing with high voltage, the
results are very consistent and predictable and hazards associated
with high voltage are always present. The fact that the control
switch says OFF does not mean you are safe. Many high voltage
circuits are like loaded guns. In general, you cannot see a high
