9.10.  Opt-3 IMD - Insulation Monitoring Device 
 
The insulation monitor is an external device connected to the NetWave. It constantly monitors the insulation 
resistance of the phases (L1, L2, L3) to the protective earth. In case the insulation resistance is below a set 
limit, the safety circuit is tripped and the output of the NetWave is switched off. 
 
The switch “FLOATING – PE” must be set to the “floating” position. Otherwise the insulation 
monitor will detect the insulation failure and will switch off the NetWave. 
To perform measurement where it is required to have N and PE connected, it is necessary to 
disconnect the Insulation Monitor from the NetWave. Make sure to reinstall the safety circuit 
directly to the NetWave. 
The NetWave limits the output voltage to 600VDC when operating in the High Voltage DC 
Mode (Opt-3 DC-EVR). This prevents the NetWave from damage in case of wrong electrical 
connection of the outputs.
