… 100 k

• 1 changeover contacts each for insulation failures-Pre-alarm and -alarm

•  Energized or de-energized on trip can be selected for indicator relay
•  Display for indication of measured value, device parameters and
  device status

• Automatic and manual device self-test

• Alarm storage selectable

• Protection against manipulation by sealable transparent cover

• External control input for combined test- / reset-button

with additional Stop of the measuring function

• 3 wide voltage input for auxiliary voltage

• Width 52.5 mm

Product Description

The insulation monitor RN 5897/020 of the VARIMETER IMD family provi-
des 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 de-
vice can be used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems.
Mains areas of applications are non-earthed DC charging stations for
electric vehicles with mains voltages up to DC 1000 V. 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.
