now I'm working on a project which involves a dc motor and high voltage. I'm developing a machine consists of a motor to rotate a platform disc and high voltage will be applied during the rotation. The problem is when I supply a positive high voltage at motor shaft during rotation, the motor stop working. Do you guys have any idea, how I can supply the high voltage properly the high voltage supply?

$\begingroup$ Of course it stops working! Do you supply the positive voltage to the other end of needle to spray something? $\endgroup$– user14407Sep 7, 2018 at 9:05

$\begingroup$ @SamFarjamirad, yes I supply the positive high voltage to the end of needle to spray polymer solution. why is its stop working? can you explain to me. $\endgroup$– norulSep 9, 2018 at 8:22

Don't apply the high voltage to the motor shaft, isolate the disc and only apply the high voltage to that.
Edit based on comments:
isolate ie insulate, electrically separate the disc from the motor shaft while keeping the mechanical drive to make it rotate. Slip rings can be used to apply the voltage to the, now insulated, disc.
See here for an explanation of slip rings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

$\begingroup$ @norul why it stops working, it's the very basics of electrometers, and i can't explain it here in comments. You can google the term 'slip ring', then you'll find a tons of videos and articles. $\endgroup$– user14407Sep 9, 2018 at 8:38
