Procedure
Result
Installation:
1
Unpack InsulGard and sensors, verify packing lists and
equipment condition
2
Verify that it is the system designated for the object. Temporal
label on the front panel of an InsulGard shows the object
name. The serial number on the InsulGard label should
coincide with InsulGard serial number in database software for
this object.
Object name:
Object nameplate information:
Insulgard serial number
3
Verify power voltage designated on the InsulGard label.
(Don’t
use UPS power, beware of autotransformers, use insulating
transformer instead if needed.).
U=
4
Identify sensor placement specifics. For switchgear line the
PD sensor placement needs to coincide with worksheet filled
out at the time of order entry. For motors it usually should
coincide with the configuration table in Figure 1-12
5
Proceed with installation and cable termination in accordance
with corresponding Manuals and
“PD Sensor Configuration”
Circuits Integrity Check
6
Check External Ground being brought to the Insulgard (right to
the Door mount unit or to InsulGard panel / enclosure).
7
Measure power supply voltage and write down in the Table 1
in Appendix 2. (If insulating transformer was used for power
supply, check voltage only between Line and Neutral)
8
Check IPDS sensor installation. Make sure the sensors are
reliably grounded. Check clearance between sensors with
jumper cable installed on different phases and also between
them and grounding surfaces. Keep clearance between signal
cables and HV side. Rule of thumb: clearance should be the
same as IPDS height for given voltage class.
9
Check RFCT sensor installation: proper direction to Ground
the arrow on the sensor label and that the wires grounding
feeder shields don’t touch grounding surface before they go
through the sensor.
10
Check RTD-6-PD sensor board installation (only for rotating
machines). Fill out the Table 3 in Appendix 2.
Table 3 for rotating machines -
11
Check proper connection of PD sensors to the Sensor
Interface Board. Measure resistance of each PD sensor
across board terminals and write down in the Table 4 or 5 in
Appendix 2.
Table 4 for rotating machines -
12
Check external Temperature and Load (if installed) sensors
resistance and fill out Table 2 in Appendix 2. Verify
reasonable reading of the temperature and humidity on the
InsulGard display after its power ON.

Software and database
corresponding to the object
have
been installed. Make sure the Modbus address and baud rate
are correct.
14
Verify Communication with the InsulGard through local port.
Set the correct date and local time.
