The use of unearthed power sup-

plies (IT systems) is of the essence
in all electrical installations where
high operating safety and reliabi-
lity is paramount. IRDH275/375/575
- the new family of innovative
A-ISOMETERs is exactly adapted
to the requirements of modern
power supply systems. The new
AMPPlus measuring principle allows
exact measuring of the insulation
resistance, even in extended IT
systems and installations including
variable-speed drives.

A solution that helps

to keep the costs low
Comprehensive information and
clear indication via a plain text
display and yet simple-to-use
makes this device family stand
out where safety is important.
Time is gained and expensive
interruptions can be avoided
thanks to advance information. Front view of the A-ISOMETER IRDH575, IRDH375 and IRDH275

IRDH... speak in plain language

All text messages are displayed as plain text on the illumi-
nated display and are emphasized by brightly lit LEDs.

IRDH... inform at the press of a button

Additional information such as system leakage capacitance,
parameter values etc. are immediately available at the press
of a button.

IRDH... simple to operate

The user-friendly menu structure and large keys makes the
device simple to operate.

Variable installation
The panel-mounting enclosure is easy-to-install into the fascia of a switch-
board. In this way, the entire information is available to the user at a
glance. Terminal cover and shock-hazard protected connection termi-
nals provide additional protection. The IRDH275 series is designed for
installation into a switchgear cubicle (DIN rail).
The modular system
Time gained thanks to flexibility

Basic function
The A-ISOMETER IRDH275/375
measure the insulation resistance
and indicate the measured value
on the display. If the measured
value falls below the preset value,
an alarm message is provided.

Basic function of the IRDH275

Monitoring several
interconnected
IT systems
Only one A-ISOMETER may be
active in each IT system. The
A-ISOMETERs IRDH275B/375B
can be configured accordingly so
that this requirement will always
be met when several IT systems
are interconnected. The RS485
interface (BMS protocol) provides
the necessary information exchan-
ge between the A-ISOMETERs.
Monitoring of several interconnected IT systems

Insulation monitoring
with automatic fault
location (EDS)
If an insulation fault occurs, it must
be localized and eliminated in order
to guarantee operating safety. For
fast, automatic localization of the
faulty circuit, the IRDH575 and the
insulation fault evaluator EDS47...-
12 with the appropriate measuring
current transformers are combined
to provide a complete insulation
