10.1 Safety Systems

10.1.1 Introduction

Many of the tests available with the AT series testers are capable of generating dangerously high voltages, which could cause operator injury unless proper safety precautions are taken.

With this in mind, the rear panel of the AT3600 and some AT accessories have been designed with a safety interlock connector, which is described in the user manual of those products.

Unless the three safety interlock signals on this connector are properly made, the tester will not generate any dangerous voltages.

It is possible for you to use your tester without connecting the safety interlocks; but you will then be restricted to only ‘low voltage’ tests. If you wish to make full use of your tester and use any test that can generate high voltages, including

  • Magnetizing Current
  • Open Circuit Voltage
  • Insulation Resistance
  • Hi-Pot (DC)
  • Wattage
  • Hi-Pot (AC)
  • Surge Stress Test
  • Hi-Pot Ramp (AC)
  • Hi-Pot Ramp (DC)

then you must have a safety system operating the safety interlocks.

Note: Dangerous voltages may also be produced when testing transformers and inductors in the presence of a dc bias current. Sudden removal of the dc current will generate high voltages across the part under test.

The details of any particular safety system installation could vary depending on where the tester is being used. In a robotic production line, for example, the tester could be located in an enclosed area, and the safety switches could be mounted in the door.

With manual production, the safety system could be based on a physical barrier, for example, a ‘lid’ fitted with safety interlock switches. However, the requirement to open and close such a barrier will give a slower speed of test, and often the reduced production throughput that follows from this may not be acceptable.
