Worked with implanters up to 200kv......with 20kv extraction.....
Safety is built into those devices. When you open an outer door......a shorting bar descends and shorts the inner terminal to ground. AND than you install the parallel 'chcken stick'......
All doors are interlocked to when any interior door is opened THAT shuts it off, too, unless intentionally defeated.
so I'm not overly concerned with 'only' 100volts.
BUT? I DO appreciate the concern. I've seen some awful dumb stuff over the years......from a guy working on an RF generator on the floor....and someone DROPPED THEIR Stainless Steel TWEEZERS on the board......reached IN and got them out......and no shock.....
And worse......When you deal with some of this stuff.......Even a 'mere' 480 is deadly. Ask the guy who DROPPED HIS WRENCH across the input of a giant transformer. Sound like a cannon and the wrench vaporized......Stuff like THAT.....
Too much is never enough
