3. System description
3.1 Features
3.1.1 Areas of application
Insulation fault location in AC, AC / DC and DC IT systems
Main and control circuits in industrial installations and ships
Diode-decoupled DC IT systems in power stations
Systems for medical locations
3.1.2 Standards
The standard IEC 60364-4-41:1992 requires for unearthed power supply sys-
tems (IT systems) that a first fault is to be eliminated with the shortest prac-
ticable delay. Fast insulation fault location is possible with EDS systems
.
3.1.3 System versions
EDS460, EDS461, EDS490 or EDS491 differ in their response sensitivity
and/or number of alarm relays.
3.1.4 System features
Universal system concept;
Modular design, hence easily adaptable to the individual conditions of
the system;
Measuring current transformers in various sizes and types of construc-
tion;
Communication between the components via BMS bus (two-wire);
All measuring current transformers are scanned simultaneously;
Central indication of faulty subcircuits;
Various setting options allow individual adjustments;
Connection to higher level control and visualization systems can easily
be established.
