Title: Influence of Insulation Monitoring Devices on the Operation of DC Control Circuits

Journal Article · · Power Technology and Engineering (Print)

The insulation level of DC control circuits is an important safety-critical factor and, thus, should be subject to continuous and periodic monitoring. The methods used for monitoring the insulation in live circuits may, however, disturb the reliable operation of control relays. The risks of misoperation and failure to reset of relays posed by the operation of various insulation monitoring and fault location systems are evaluated.
