Product description

The insulation monitor RN 5897 of the VARIMETER IMD family provides best and up to date insulation monitoring of modern IT systems in an optimum and state of the art way fulfilling the relevant standards. The device can be used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems even with large leakage capacity to earth (PE). The adjustment of the setting values is simple and user friendly done on 2 rotary switches on the front of the device. Via display and LEDs the measured value, device parameters and device status are indicated easy to read. With a sealable transparent cover the device is protectet against manipulation.

Advantages

  • Preventive fire and system protection
  • Detection of symmetric and asymmetric insulation faults
  • Quick fault localisation through selective earth fault detection to L+ and L-
  • Universal application in non-earthed AC, DC, AC/DC networks up to 300 V
  • Easy adjustment of response values and setting parameter via rotational switch and menu display
  • Suitable for large leakage capacitances up to 300 μF
  • Optimised reaction time for large leakage capacitances
  • Monitoring also with voltage-free mains
  • Measuring circuit L(+)/L(-) with broken wire detection (can be switched off)
  • Protective conductor PE1/PE2 with broken wire detection (can't be switched off)
  • No additional coupling device required

Features
