Power Supply WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels Safety can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after power is removed. CAUTION ! Operate t
