Required tools:
•
Insulation measuring instrument (e.g. Fluke 1507)
1. Check the function of the insulation measuring device by measuring any metal part of the
battery tray / battery container against any metal part of the vehicle chassis. The
measured resistance must be 0
Ω.
2. Measure the insulation resistance between positive terminal of the battery and one
metallic part of the rolling stock vehicle chassis (battery compartment or central earthing
point).
3. Measure the insulation resistance between the negative terminal and a metallic part of
the rolling stock vehicle chassis.
4. Check the function of the insulation measuring device by measuring any metal part of the
battery tray / battery container against any metal part of the vehicle chassis. The
measured resistance must be 0
Ω.
5. Clean the battery if the measurements fall below the minimum value (see
the battery on page 32
6. Measure insulation resistances again according to steps 2 and 3.
Note
If the isolation test fails again, contact HOPPECKE service.
7. Enter your activities in a maintenance protocol, see
13.2 Maintenance protocol on page
Result: The insulation resistance of the battery is now measured.
