Principle of Operation
The cable carries 3 pairs of color-coded wires. Each pair must be linked together by the
safety system before the AT3600 will operate a high voltage test. If any one of the three
pairs is becomes un-linked during a test, the AT3600 very quickly switches off any
high voltage that is being produced.
There are three pairs of wires in order to provide the multiple redundancy required by
various international safety standards.
