Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1189487A2] A DC portion of a coupling capacitor (C5) is analyzed by means of a helix. If the helix fractures, then a cut-off is triggered. An AC portion of a generator output (O) can be monitored by means of a second helix and consequently, if the second helix fractures, then a cut-off can also be triggered. Between two DC connectors (DC+,DC-) there is a series circuit of two semi-conductor switches (T6,T7) run as MOSFET switches.
