Laser Tube Wire Connection and Electrical Leak Troubleshooting Tutorial

Laser Tube High Voltage Wire Connection Tutorial
Video show how to properly connect 40,000V red wire to CO2 laser glass tube. High voltage wire from power supply will leak an arc and spark all over the place if not properly insulated. Electrical tape will NOT hold arc will go through it very easily. (3M tapes are only rated up to 600V and laser has 40000V)
To properly insulate a disconnect in high voltage wire you need to boot it into silicone or glass tube , and that tube needs to extend more them max lengths of the arc. This will prevent leakage to the body of machine of to any closes grounded object.
Before working with laser wiring, keep in mind that power supply hold charge even after it’s disconnected! Let capacitors discharge before you touch wires! Ware proper PPE, do not work in wet of flooded areas.
