CAUTION
When the current generator is started the output power is automatically set to
the available maximum value. If the conditions change during the
measurement the generator may switch off. Possible causes for switching off
are:
The output can become overloaded by high external earth currents. In this
case it is recommended to decrease the output power down to 75% or 50%
and restart the generator
The current stopped flowing abruptly. If stop was caused by disconnection
of the leads it is not necessary to lower down the power. The generator can
be restarted.
6.1.3 Setting alarm condition
