Power Supply and Measurement Safety

•Power Supply Safety

This instrument can output high currents and voltages. Make sure that the load or

device under test can safely handle the output current and voltage. Also, make sure

that the connection leads can safely withstand the expected currents and are

insulated for the expected voltages.

The instrument outputs may be connected so as to float relative to earth ground.

Isolation or floating voltage ratings are indicated on the instrument, near the output

terminal or the Circuit Common terminal. There is the danger of electric shock by

touching the floated measurement terminals. Keep in mind it to protect yourself. And

it is a reason of using the recommended accessories.

• Voltage/Current Measurement Safety

Multimeters and other instruments capable of measuring high voltages and currents

are subject to specific safety concerns because of the circuits to which they may be

connected. To safely use these instruments, you need to understand the markings on

the instrument near the input terminals, which include the Protection Limits and the

IEC Measurement Category.

• Protection Limits

Keysight multimeters and other voltage measurement instruments provide protection

circuitry to prevent damage to the instrument and to protect against the danger of

electric shock, provided the Protection Limits are not exceeded. To ensure safe

operation of the instrument, do not exceed the Protection Limits shown on the input

terminals.
