To operate a high-voltage power supply safely and stably, it is important to prevent discharge!
As the performance and miniaturization of industrial equipment such as medical devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and various inspection devices continue to advance, the demands for "high-voltage power supplies" are becoming more stringent.
Many may be facing concerns such as, "I want to make the high-voltage power supply compact to match the miniaturization of the device, but I'm worried about discharge risks," "Troubles have occurred during the prototype stage, causing delays in the development schedule," or "There shouldn't be any issues in the circuit diagram, but when integrated into the actual device, discharge and noise occur."
In fact, many of these troubles can stem from slight differences that wouldn't be problematic with low-voltage power supplies. For example, tiny factors such as a 0.5mm solder spike, slight residues from cleaning, or minute voids mixed in potting resin can directly lead to insulation breakdown or discharge issues under high voltage conditions.
Therefore, this time, we will explain the points to prevent troubles that occur on high-voltage power supply circuit boards.
