Monitoring during both live and standby conditions
Protection against harmful DC voltage exposure
"Megger" - safe to 1.4kVDC when aux power is OFF
Immune to earth capacitance and voltage surges
For use in land, marine, offshore, sub-sea and ocean floor Installations
Analogue output proportional to meter reading (F-version)
Application
The digitally controlled KPM16xM series monitors insulation level between a non-grounded (IT) AC mains and its protective earth, regardless of whether the mains is live or non-live (standby) in marine and offshore installations.
IDV MEASURING PRINCIPLE
Insulation is measured between the complete galvanically interconnected AC network and its protective earth. The unit injects a sequentially coded measuring signal to the monitored system. The signal flows to ground via the path of the insulation fault, the level of flow indicates the insulation resistance. The measuring accuracy is not influenced by any normal kind of load attached to the AC network.
An AC or DC auxiliary voltage is required for the unit, if powered from a separate source the network can also be monitored during standby conditions. Only ONE KPM16xM can be connected to each IT-system
