Abstract
Circuitry for limiting a high frequency current through a load including a DC voltage source connected to a circuit ground; an inverter for converting the DC voltage to the high frequency current, the inverter being connected to circuit ground; a chassis containing the voltage source and the inverter where the chassis is connected to earth ground and where earth ground and circuit ground are at different electric potentials; sensing circuitry connected between earth ground and one of the output terminals of the voltage source to establish a current path from earth ground to the one output terminal of the voltage source to thus monitor any high frequency current which may flow through a person, for example, connected between one of the output terminals of the inverter and earth ground; and limiting circuitry for limiting the high frequency current through the person in response to the current through the person exceeding a predetermined limit.
