Table 9-1 Application areas of the insulation monitoring relays
Function Application
• Insulation monitor for
ungrounded systems
• Emergency power supplies
• Safety lighting
• Industrial production plants with high availability requirements (chemi‐
cal industry, automobile manufacture, printing)
• Shipbuilding and railways
• Mobile power generators (aircraft)
• Renewable energies (wind energy and photovoltaic plants)
• Mining industry
Note
The 3UG4582 and 3UG4583 insulation monitors are only suitable for use in systems with
frequency converters (primary or secondary side) if operation with generated frequencies <
15Hz and > 400Hz is ruled out.
The 3UG4581 version is not suitable for operation with a frequency converter.
