Schneider Insulation Monitoring Device IM20

This Schneider Insulation Monitoring Device Vigilohm IM20 is designed to safeguard AC, DC, and ACDC systems. It continuously monitors insulation resistance to detect potential ground faults, preventing costly downtime and ensuring system safety.

  • Measure and display of the network insulation resistance
  • Measure and display of the network leakage capacitance and impedance
    (IM20)
  • Detection of insulation fault according to the set alarm thresholds
  • Signal of insulation fault through the display and the output relay
  • Signal of insulation fault through communication port (IM20)
