Requirements for reliable insulation fault location
The EDS... is intended to detect insulation faults downstream of the
measuring current transformer R
F-N
. For this purpose, the test current
caused by the insulation fault has to be detected reliably. Preconditions
are:
The test current I(ds) exceeds 1.5 mA and is less than 50 mA.
The upstream capacitances C
E-V
must be at least as large as the down-
stream capacitances C
E-N.
The system leakage capacitance must not be too large (see "Response
sensitivity characteristics" on page 65).
The total residual current through the measuring current transformer
(test current and residual currents etc.) must not exceed 2 A.
Not only does the amplitude influence the reliable detection of the test
current but also the residual current frequency. This effect is illustrated
in the following fault curve.
