Safety shield connections
A safety shield must be used whenever hazardous voltages (>30Vrms, 42Vpeak)
will be present. The metal safety shield must completely surround DUT test cir-
cuitry and must be connected to a known Safety Earth Ground and Chassis (see
Figure 2-8). Use #18AWG wire or larger for connections.
