MODIFICATIONS OF DIODE RECTIFIER CIRCUITS FOR CONTINUOUS INSULATION MEASUREMENT IN LIVE AC IT NETWORKS

Abstract

Purpose. In the paper there are described few systems of insulation resistance continuous measurement using an imposed DC test signal delivered by diode rectifiers. Drawbacks of this technique are pointed out and ways of these shortcomings removal are proposed. Methodology. An improved version of measuring circuit based on a single-phase diode rectifier is presented. Application of logometric measuring devices is suggested. Results. A new insulation resistance continuous measuring system is insensitive to network voltages variation and asymmetry. Modified circuit enables also implementation of a simple device for alarming the monitored network’s insulation deterioration and/or earth-fault protection. Originality. Formulas describing performance of diode rectifiers under asymmetrical supply have not been available so far. Both innovations (i.e. single-phase diode rectifier and logometric meter) have not been applied widely for implementation of continuous insulation monitoring in live AC IT networks. Practical value. Use of both innovations will allow to eliminate unrequired dependence of measurement results on variable network voltages as well as their possible asymmetry. Exploitation of diode rectifier circuits for earth fault location is also possible.
