The insulation monitoring devices of the Vigilohm range are designed to: measure the insulation level of the installation; indicate drops in the insulation level below a user-defined threshold. In addition to these basic functions, the Vigilohm System can automatically locate the faulty circuit. ... Insulation monitoring devices inject a DC or low-frequency AC voltage between the installation and earth. The insulation resistance is determined by measuring the resulting leakage current. Vigilohm EM9 devices use an indicator light to signal the presence of an insulation fault within the installation. 1, record 4, English, - Vigilohm%20insulation%20monitoring%20device
