5.3 Insulation Measurement
For electrical installations the insulation measure-
ment has to be carried out prior to final commis-
sioning. This measurement is of basic importance
as the insulation measurement is considered to be
the only measurement for fire protection. If, due to
an insulation error, a limited fault current flows be-
tween two conductors, this leads to a heating up or
even to a fire. Only the insulation measurement pro-
cedure can detect such a fault.
If an external voltage is present, the instrument
displays „Uext" and “attention” after the „Start"
key has been pressed. The insulation measu-
rement is then blocked. The symbol „Uext" (5)
appears if a second measurement is started wi-
thout an extraneous voltage present.
According to IEC 60364 (DIN VDE 0100 Part 610)
the insulation resistance measurement is carried
out:
• from all phase conductors (e.g. L1, L2, L3) to-
wards earth or to protective earth (PE)
• between protective earth (PE) and neutral (N)
Additionally, it is advised to perform the following
measurements:
• between all active conductors (e.g. L1, L2, L3, N).
This measurement must be carried out individually
for each current circuit. The measurement is carried
out a DC voltage of 100V, 250V or 500V.
The insulation resistance is determined by cur-
rent/voltage measurement. The Telaris 0100 plus
can perform an automatic measurement or a per-
manent measurement. The measurement duration
is dynamic for automatic measurements.
The measurement lasts until measurement value
stabilisation, however a maximum of 10s. Thus, the
correct measurement result is determined for less
capacitive loads within a very short time period and
the battery life is increased.
During insulation measurement, ensure that all
loads are disconnected from the mains and it
must be ensured that all current circuits are
switched on.
Prior to any insulation measurement, it must be
guaranteed that no installation parts to be test-
ed are live.
