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.
