connectors until the
high-voltage circuit
has been shut down.
If an emergency occurs (accident, fire), the high-voltage power supply of the high-
voltage system must be shut OFF. It takes up to ten minutes before the high voltage
has dropped to a harmless level after an emergency shutdown procedure has been
carried out.
2.2 BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES
All high-voltage cables which are connected to the high-voltage components are
covered in orange insulation.
The high-voltage components are
labelled with a high-voltage warning
label (sticker).
All positive and negative high-voltage
cables are isolated from the metal
chassis to prevent shock when touching
the metal chassis.
If a malfunction is detected the high-
voltage system shuts off.
