OVERVIEW VOLTECH AT3600 USER MANUAL
PAGE 1.3.12 VPN 98-024 INTRODUCTION
OPERATOR SAFETY
The AT3600 is capable of generating high voltage test signals that could cause
operator injury.
The AT3600 design includes a Safety Interlock connector on the rear panel. The
safety interlocks must be properly connected before any high voltage test is allowed
to execute.
1. For a test situation that only uses low voltage tests, the tester will operate
satisfactorily without any safety interlocks. Low voltage tests include:
• Continuity
• Winding Resistance
• Winding Inductance (Series or Parallel)
• Q Factor
• Equivalent Resistance (Series or Parallel)
• Leakage Inductance
• Interwinding Capacitance
• Turns Ratio
2. For manual operation, if high voltage tests are required, the Voltech safety
system is recommended. This is based around the use of Infra Red light beams
to provide a safety curtain, and has the advantage of not slowing test throughput.
The following are some of the tests which will not function without a safety
system:
• Insulation Resistance
• Magnetizing Current
• Open Circuit Voltage
• Hi-Pot (DC) & (AC)
• Hi-Pot Ramp (DC) & (AC)
