    Abstract: A single-torus ohmmeter for measuring a loop impedance Zx, includes a single transformer having a primary winding of Np coils and a secondary winding of a single coil forming a measurement loop of impedance Zx, in which, to compensate for a stray induction produced by a DC leakage current circulating in the measurement loop without canceling a measurement current Ip generating an alternating induction of constant average value for the measurement of the loop impedance Zx, the transformer includes a second secondary winding of Na coils whose output voltage Ub is delivered to a processing module providing a voltage intended to be added to an alternating measurement voltage Vp in an adder delivering the current to be injected into the primary winding after passage through a voltage-current converter supplying current to the primary winding via a shunt resistance.

    Abstract: Loop resistance is measured in a live-earth conductor loop comprising a residual current device powered by an alternating current mains supply. A measurement circuit having a low-pass filter characteristic arranged to substantially remove signal components at the frequency of the alternating current mains supply is used to measure, in a first period, a voltage across live and earth conductors of the live-earth conductor loop to determine a first voltage. A current application circuit is used to apply a unipolar test current having a magnitude below a trip current value of the residual current device for a second period and the measurement circuit is used to measure a second voltage between the live and earth conductors. Based on a difference in test current between the first and second periods and a difference in voltage between the first voltage and the second voltage, the resistance of the live-earth conductor loop is calculated.

    Abstract: A method and monitoring device for selectively determining partial insulation resistance and partial system leakage capacitance of an outgoing line in a branched ungrounded power supply system monitored using an insulation monitoring device actively superposing a measuring alternating voltage on the ungrounded power supply system. Using an equivalent circuit diagram of the branched ungrounded power supply system as a basis, the partial insulation resistance having the current/voltage ratios applicable in linear systems are derived from the known measuring voltage and the inner resistance of the insulation monitoring device and from the total insulation resistance and the stationary partial current measured in the corresponding outgoing line and in the settled state. To calculate the partial system leakage capacitance, the temporal derivative of the measured non-stationary conductor-to-ground voltage is evaluated in conjunction with the non-stationary partial current and the previously determined partial insulation resistance.

    Abstract: An insulation impedance detection method includes: An inverter injects a first common-mode voltage into an alternating current side, where the first common-mode voltage is divided by an alternating current grounding insulation impedance of an alternating current cable and a direct current grounding insulation impedance of a photovoltaic unit. The inverter can obtain an impedance value of the alternating current grounding insulation impedance based on the first common-mode voltage, a voltage divided by the alternating current grounding insulation impedance for the first common-mode voltage (a second common-mode voltage on the alternating current grounding insulation impedance), and an impedance value of the direct current grounding insulation impedance. The alternating current grounding insulation impedance is detected by using a necessary device, namely, the inverter in a photovoltaic power generation system. In this way, an additional detection device is not mounted, which reduces costs and complexity of alternating current grounding insulation impedance detection.

    Abstract: Wide deployment of high voltage battery systems in traction, industrial and renewable energy installations is raising the concerns for human safety. Exposure to hazardous high voltages may occur due to deterioration of insulation materials or by accidental events. It is thus important to monitor for such faults and being able to provide timely warnings to affected persons. For this purpose it has become mandatory for electrified passenger vehicles (CFR 571.305) to maintain high isolation values which can be continuously monitored by electrical isolation monitoring devices. The task of monitoring isolation resistance within the electrically noisy car environment is not a trivial task and the solution to this problem has become quickly a field of research and innovation for all affected industries.
