Diversity of electronic products, which need to be tested, present many challenges for the manufacturers. Different sizes, shapes and configurations of electronic devices make it challenging for electrical safety examination. Due to these facts Metrel has developed different types of connection boxes, which can be easily adopted to customer’s needs. The A 1688 connection box is a passive device that acts as a connection interface between the CE SWITCH 5 kV and the tested equipment. It is intended for connection of various 1- and 3-phase appliances to A 1600 CE SWITCH 5 kV. Equipment with intended for fixed installation and electronic subassemblies can be tested. Connections for connection to isolated conductive parts and earthed parts are added. The connection box is coded in order to prevent from applying a too high test voltage to its outputs.
