S 2115 Safety Module with current limitation

Accessories

In many countries additional workplace safety measures are not needed during the high voltage testing with a.c. up to 3mA. If the current is higher than 3 mA a special test system with automatic protection against direct contact or a sealed off area with warning light and two-handed operation is required. This Safety module is intended for limitation of the test current in the HV tests to a safe level. It consists of two boxes. The first box S 2115_1 contains resistors that are connected in series with the HV measuring circuit. The resistors significantly reduce the output power of the high voltage circuit (short circuit power < 20 mA). The second box S 2115_2 contains a current monitor. If the test current exceeds 3 mA the inbuilt current monitor will disconnect the measuring circuits from the mains within a safe time. The START button is intended to activate the safety module after being (re-)energized.
