High-voltage supply including first and second segments respectively including only low voltage components and low and high-voltage components

Abstract

The disclosed HV supply device has a first housing part ( ) that serves as an outside cover. In addition, a second housing part ( ) forming two sides is provided. On the first side is the high-voltage supply part ( ), and on the second side is the low-voltage supply part ( ) which is physically or spatially separated from the high-voltage supply part ( ). The first side of the second housing part ( ) has a first mounting rack ( ) to receive electrical or electronic low-voltage ( ) and high-voltage components ( ), and the second side has a second mounting rack ( ) to receive electrical or electronic low-voltage components ( ), whereby the two mounting racks ( ) are connected by an electrical connecting line ( ) penetrating the second housing part ( ). The second ( ) and the first housing part ( ) are designed so that the high-voltage supply part ( ) is enclosed on all sides in an area within one of the two housing parts after the two housing parts ( ) are joined. The suggested spatial separation of the LV from the HV substantially increases and improves the operational safety when handling such a HV supply device. In addition, it allows easy and safe access to the low-voltage electrical equipment or electronics without having to turn off the high-voltage while minimising the danger of contacting it.
