High Voltage Ioniser

We are using a high voltage (Pulse AC ±7000V) ioniser bar from Keyence on a machine? Would this need to be wired through safety contactors so when an interlocked door is opened, power to the ioniser will be cut off.

  • Can you touch the ioniser electrodes in this case?,

    and if you can, does the voltage drop below 50 V when you connect a human in this way ?

    If yes and no, it needs a door or access that needs a tool to open.

    IF no and anything, or yes and yes, then it needs no special precaution.

    This is much the same as you can have a 10kV electric fence at the side of the footpath, but the current must be limited, so the voltage collapses if too low an impedance is connected.
