Guard voltage can be hazardous. With an unguarded device under test (DUT) connection, terminate
the guard before the end of the cable. Refer to High-voltage triaxial cable termination
(on page 2-
44) for details.
Connect the enclosure of all metal test fixtures to protective earth (safety ground). See your specific
test fixture for information. Nonconductive test fixtures must be rated to double the maximum
capability of the test equipment in the system.
