WARNING

This power supply is designed for use as a source of DC power for electrophore­sis. It is capable of generating lethal currents. Use the same precautions as with
any electrical device. Do not operate without the cover in place. Do not connect
the output to earth ground. Do not operate in a damp, humid, environment
where condensing moisture may short out internal electrical components. Do not
operate with connecting cables which have exposed live wires. Follow all appro­priate safety measures outlined by the chamber manufacturer.

AVERTISSEMENT

Ce générateur a été conçu pour être utilisé comme source de courant (DC) pour
l´électrophorèse, et il est capable de générer un courant mortel. Prenez les
mêmes précautions que pour tout autre appareil électrique. N´utilisez pas
l´appareil sans que le couvercle de la chambre soit placé. Ne raccordez pas
les sorties à la terre. N´utilisez pas l´appareil dans des environnements humides,
où la condensation pourrait causer des dommages aux composants électriques
internes. Ne mettez pas l´appareil en route avec des câbles ou partie de câble
dénudé. Ne retirez pas les câbles des sorties de 4 mm pendant que l´appareil
est en fonctionnement. Prendre toutes les précautions recommandé par le fabri­quant de la chambre d´électrophorèse.

THERMO EC HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLIES

THERMO EC HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLIES

1. The voltage applied to both Cell “A” and Cell “B” is 100 volts. (Rule 1)

2. The sum of the currents flowing through Cell “A” and Cell “B” is equal to
60 milliamps. (Rule 3)

Switch off the power supply and momentarily disconnect Cell “B”. Switch the power
supply back on and note how the output current reading drops to 35 milliamps.
From this, the following information can be derived.

1. The current flow through Cell “B” is equal to 60 milliamps, minus 35 milliamps,
i.e., a net value of 25 milliamps. (Rule 3)

2. The reason Cell “A” and Cell “B” have different current readings is due to the
difference in resistance between Cells “A” and “B”. (Rule 2)
