5.  Connecting the locating current injector 

5.1   Disconnecting insulation monitoring device

During insulation fault location using the EDS309… an existing insulation monitoring device must 
be disconnected from the system for the duration of the fault location if its internal resistance is 

R

i

< 120  k

Ω

. During this process the connection to the system must be interrupted on all poles, shut-

ting down the supply voltage to the insulation monitoring device is insufficient. On the usage of 
such a device with 

R

i

 

 120 k

Ω

 the effect is negligible, disconnection is not required in this case. How-

ever the PGH18… will affect the measurement made by the insulation monitoring device.

5.2   Locating current injector in an electrically isolated IT system

For insulation fault location in electrically isolated systems using the EDS3096PG, the integrated 
voltage source G in the PGH186 supplies a locating voltage. 
The locating voltage DC 50 V is provided by the PGH186 at the socket L1(+). Make sure that this sock-
et is coupled to the system to be monitored during insulation fault location, only then will the inte-
grated voltage source in the PGH186 be effective.

Hazard due to excessively high locating voltage!

Check the information on the nameplate to ensure the devices to be connected
are suitable for the supplying system. The operation of the PGH18… and possi-
bly the power supply unit with an incorrect supply voltage can cause irreparable
damage to the devices.

Prior to commissioning check whether all system components are correctly
connected together.

Note that the active conductors in the system to be checked must be coupled
together via loads or the electrically isolated power supply.
