ISOMETER® IR125Y-4 Insulation monitoring device for
unearthed AC and DC systems (IT systems)

Product description
The ISOMETER®s of the IR125Y-4 series monitor the insulation resistance of unearthed AC
and DC control circuits (IT systems). The supply voltage is taken from the system to be
monitored.
In contrast to insulation monitoring devices which use the passive voltage asymmetry
principle for insulation fault detection, this series uses the active AMP measuring principle.
This creates the possibility to detect and indicate both symmetrical and asymmetrical
insulation faults.

Application
• AC and DC control and auxiliary circuits in accordance with DIN EN 60204-1,
ISOMETER® IR125Y-4 “Electrical equipment of machines”, IEC 60204-1, EN 60204-1
• DC auxiliary circuits in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-725
Device features • Simple battery systems
• Insulation monitoring for AC and DC
systems (IT systems) Function
• Response values, adjustable 10…200 kΩ When the insulation resistance between the system conductors and earth falls below the
set response value, the alarm relay switches and the alarm LED lights up. The fault mes-
