Abstract: The invention relates to insulation fault location systems and methods for insulation fault location for an ungrounded DC power supply system, which is redundantly fed from a first direct voltage supply source coupled to diodes and a second direct voltage supply source coupled to diodes and to which a consumer is redundantly coupled. Due to the diode coupling and the asymmetric current splitting of the load current associated therewith, non-compensational partial currents arise in the supply lines in such a power supply system and consequently differential current portions, which can be captured by measuring current transformers and which can interfere with a valid test current during an insulation fault location. In order to eliminate the interfering differential current portions, compensating measures on the primary side are proposed in the measuring current transformers and indirect compensating measures on the secondary side are proposed in an insulation fault location apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for testing the function of a standard insulation monitoring device, installed in an ungrounded power supply system, during operation. The basic concept of the invention rests upon adding a testing apparatus to the ungrounded power supply system, which is being monitored using an insulation monitoring device according to regulations, between the active conductors of an ungrounded power supply system and ground, said testing apparatus systematically changing an insulation resistance of the ungrounded power supply system and observing the reaction of the insulation monitoring device in a fully automated manner in perpetually repetitive testing cycles. The power supply system is monitored perpetually during its operation.
Abstract: Methods and locating systems are for determining an insulation fault location on an electric conductor of a subsea supply line. By applying electric voltage on the electric conductor, an electrochemical reaction takes place at an insulation fault location between the metallic conductor material and the seawater, the electrochemical reaction forming gas, which in turn is connected to developing noise. Sonic sensors capture the sonic waves produced inside and outside the subsea supply line and evaluate the measuring signals in order to determine the insulation fault location. Alternatively or additionally to capturing noise, the gas-bubble image patterns occurring at the insulation fault location are optically captured and consulted in order to determine the insulation fault location.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for insulation fault location as well as to an insulation fault location system for an ungrounded power supply system. The main idea of the present invention rests upon the idea that while preserving a predetermined maximally admissible test current amplitude, a test current pulse duration of a test current is adaptively set such that all interfering values are eliminated in a captured differential current, in particular the leakage currents arising in consequence of large supply leakage capacitances. Should a test of the value of the final value of the differential current reveal that a test current threshold value has been exceeded, this exceedance can be seen as an indicator that the respective conductor section is therefore in the fault circuit.

Abstract: A method and a device for a galvanically isolated AC/DC-sensitive measurement of a residual current (?I), includes a component sensitive to magnetic fields which switches between at least two states in the course of oscillation. A magnetic field is formed in a sphere of action of the component sensitive to magnetic fields due to the residual current (?I) and an oscillator signal that switches between a state 1 and a state 2. As a function of the residual current-driven magnetic field, times of stay of the oscillator signal occurring in states 1 and 2 are determined and an output signal proportional to the residual current is obtained from the ratio of the times of stay.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting an interruption of an active conductor in an ungrounded direct-voltage power supply system. Five alternative methods are introduced, which are based on determining a current load current, a current total insulation resistance, a current displacement voltage, a current total capacitance or a current total impedance. Each of these methods minimizes the hazard related to accidental touching of two active conductors in an ungrounded direct-voltage power supply system.

If an excess voltage is detected on an active conductor, the voltage monitoring circuit generates a shut-down signal so as to shut down the power supply system.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for shutting down an installation part provided with connected equipment in an ungrounded power supply system in case of an insulation fault in a direct-current circuit connected to the installation part to be shut down. The invention is based on first determining the insulation resistance of the IT power supply system and measuring the displacement direct voltage present in the IT power supply system and then determining by combined evaluation of the measured results if there is a risk of an disruptive influence on the operating behavior of the connected equipment due to the displacement direct voltage occurring during the duration of a predeterminable time interval. If a disruptive influence is to be expected, the installation part exhibiting the insulation fault is immediately shut down together with the direct-current circuit and the equipment connected thereto.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an electrical protection device for detecting a disconnection of a protective conductor connection with a subsystem in ungrounded and grounded power supply systems and in a grounded power supply system comprising a converter system. The invention is based on the idea that the disconnection of the protective conductor connection with a subsystem will reduce the sum of the network leakage capacitances of the power supply system by the value of the network leakage capacitance of the subsystem. The necessary distinction between a subsystem in operation having a disconnected protective conductor connection and a shut-off subsystem is made by evaluating the current total power consumed via the power supply system. In the case of a converter system connected to the subsystem, the protective conductor disconnection is detected by examining the leakage current spectra that are characteristic of the converter system.

Furthermore, a method determines a cross impedance between two subsystems on the basis of the insulation monitoring system.

The invention is based on feeding a measuring signal into the optionally branched HRG system via an active measuring method and registering the fault current driven by the measuring signal in the outgoing power feeds to be monitored by means of a differential current measurement and using the registered fault current in an evaluating device to determine the total insulation resistance of the power supply system and to determine the partial insulation resistances of the main system and potentially present subsystems. Furthermore, the insulation monitoring device can be employed for insulation fault location.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to devices for extended insulation-fault search in an IT power supply system using a multifunctional test current, wherein, selectively and depending on the application, the test current functions as a voltage compensation current so as to compensate a voltage increase in an active conductor of the IT power supply system, as a tripping current so as to trip a residual current protection device arranged in a subsystem of the IT power supply system and/or as a leakage-capacitance compensation current so as to compensate a capacitive leakage current. The test current can fulfil more than one of the cited functions simultaneously.
