| Every Glassman
high voltage power supply is 100% inspected for
conformance to specifications before it is shipped. It
should be ready for immediate use upon arrival. Your
company, however, may require an in-coming inspection
before any equipment can be put in use. Many companies
also schedule a periodic inspection to reduce the
possibility of expensive downtime, extensive repairs, and
manufacturing flaws caused by malfunctioning equipment.
Testing a high voltage
power supply is not difficult. But it can be dangerous!
The following "step-by-step" test procedure
describes how to test each specification in a thorough and
safe manner. These tests apply to all Glassman standard
power supplies. Detailed factory test data sheets
including rated values and acceptance levels are available
for individual models on request.
CAUTION !
Standard models are shipped
with a detachable high voltage output cable. This cable
consists of a center conductor, a polyethylene insulating
sleeve, a braided shield wire, and an outer insulating
jacket. For connection to any test apparatus, the outer
end of the cable should be stripped of both the insulating
jacket and braided shield wire for a length equivalent to
1.25 inches per 10 kV of output voltage. The
supplied output cable has been stripped adequately for the
specific operating voltage of the unit. The entire output
cable should then be suspended in air by a cord as its
goes from the power supply to the test apparatus to avoid
any contact with grounded circuits.
