| Control
& Safety |
Each
high voltage test instrument has either a built-in or separate control
unit incorporating all operational elements viz. push buttons ON/OFF,
variac, current and volmeter, range selector, pilot lamps and fuses.
The larger instruments can be equipped with time limit realys which
switch off the instrument automatically after the pre-set period. |
| The high voltage
is measured on the output side by means of a voltmeter which is calibrated
in kV. |
The
design of our system limits the output current by activating a tripping
circuit. The tripping mechanism works beyond a specified overload.
The circuit alsoprotects the equipment if a sudden breakdown during
testing occurs. |
In
order to provide safety for the operating personnel against a post
charging effect, especially when dealing with paper and PVC insulated
cables, the test object (Cable) should be subjected to a damped
discharge by means of a discharge rod. |

The
high voltage unit comprises of a transformer which is vacuum potted,
in epoxy resin making it insensitive to external influence, and
a high voltage rectifier with a hermetically sealed chamber. |
