On-Line Electronics will be closed for the Holidays from Tuesday, December 24th, 2024 through Wednesday, January 1, 2025. There will be no shipping or receiving during this time. We will be open for business on Thursday January 2, 2025. From our families to yours, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Ground resistance signaling module Ground fault alarm via digital output DC 24V
Features
The module establishes an internal connection between the 0 V (X2.2) and ground (X2.1) connections via a semiconductor switch.
At 10 s intervals, the connection between 0 V and ground is interrupted for 0.5 s, and the isolation resistance between +24 V (X1.3) or 0 V (X2.2) of the supply voltage and earth (X2.1) is determined.
The grounding connection on the module does not meet the requirements of a protective earth terminal (PE). It serves as a functional ground. The measurement method does not involve the module establishing any permanent connection bet-ween 0 V and ground.
In this operating mode, the semiconductor switch to establish a connection between 0 V (X2.2) and ground (X2.1) is deactivated. At 1 s intervals, the isolation resistance offset is determined for 0.5 s.
The module does not meet the requirements of an isolation monitoring device per EN 61557-8.
The potential-free contact serves the purpose of supporting evaluation (e.g., via a PLC) of looming isolation faults.
This contact must not be used to switch safety-related products that could cause the circuit to switch off.
