ABB Insulation Monitoring Relay

ABB Insulation Monitoring Relay ISL-A 600 is designed for industrial IT networks operating at 500 Vdc. It continuously monitors the network’s insulation resistance to detect potential ground faults. Unlike grounded systems, earth faults in IT networks don’t necessarily require immediate supply interruption. However, regular monitoring remains crucial to ensure optimal system performance.

The ISL-A 600 measures the potential difference between two polarities relative to the ground. It uses the monitored network as its auxiliary power supply and offers flexible settings for alarm thresholds. The device provides visual indicators for power status, faults, and line polarity. It also includes a relay output for remote control and can be configured for fail-safe operation.

Advantages of ABB Insulation Monitoring Relay

  • Monitoring the insulation resistance for DC charging stations according to CCS or CHAdeMO
  • Detection of asymmetrical insulation faults in the DC system voltage range between 50 V and 400 V within 1 s
  • Detection of symmetrical insulation faults within 10 s
  • Measurement of the system voltage (true RMS) with Undervoltage and overvoltage detection
  • Measurement of DC system voltages to earth (L+/PE and L-/PE)
