AIR CLEANER AND SHUT-DOWN METHOD

摘要

An air cleaner (100) is provided according to an embodiment of the invention. The air cleaner (100) includes a high voltage power supply (108) configured to provide a high voltage to a collector cell (114) and a shut-down circuit (111) coupled to the high voltage power supply (108). The shut-down circuit (111) is configured to monitor an electrical current supplied to the collector cell (114), remove electrical power to the collector cell (114) if the electrical current exceeds a predetermined cell current threshold for a predetermined time period, and generate an indication if the electrical power is removed from the collector cell (114).
