1 Scope
This document explains the setting parameters of insulation monitoring devices (IMDs) and how to interpret these measurements through plotted curves. Some examples of
injection methods are also proposed.
NOTE 1 Requirements for IMDs are specified by IEC 61557‑8 .
The examples given in this document consider the situation of an insulation fault in an installation or equipment (motors, enclosure, cables, etc.) creating a resistive
path to earth and calculate the touch voltage. It does not consider a person making
direct contact with a live conductor in an IT grid.
NOTE 2 This document is informative and cannot contain requirements, in accordance with the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, for technical reports.
