AA 106 - P.S.E. and Anti-Leak Device. There is evidence in the circuit of the same type of galvanic P.S.E. and anti-leak device formerly used in the MA 101. In the MA 101 this took the form of two loops of insulated wire of dissimilar metals wrapped around the switch board with the fuse-delay switches. If water entered the unit, a galvanic effect resulted between the two wires (CU and ZN) and relay was actuated. This device ap-pears in the AA 106. Some of the test characteristics are known and are shown in figure 224.
