Product description

The insulation monitor LK 5895 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 LEDs the measured value, device parameters and device status are indicated easy to read.

Advantages

  • Preventive fire and system protection
  • Quick fault localisation through selective earth fault detection to L+ and L-
  • Universal application in non-earthed AC, DC, AC/DC networks
    with up to 1000 V nominal voltage
  • Suitable for large leakage capacitances up to 3000 μF
  • Simplest setting via engaging rotary switches
  • For monitoring photovoltaic system, also with thin-film technology
  • Optimised measuring times – normally shorter than with known methods
  • Monitoring also with voltage-free mains
  • Measuring circuit with broken wire detection
  • No additional coupling device required

Features

  • Insulation monitoring according to IEC/EN 61557-8
  • Detection of symmetric and asymmetric insulation faults
  • Measuring circuits can be disconnected via control terminals, e.g. for mains couplings
  • 1 changeover contact each for prewarning and alarm
