  • Patent number: 12265113
    Abstract: To determine an AC insulation resistance between the AC connections of an inverter and a ground potential, the AC connections are connected to an AC energy sink in an emergency standby operation in order to transmit energy from a DC energy source to an AC energy sink and an insulation test is performed in emergency standby operation. An AC fault current flowing between an AC connection and the ground potential is determined, and the AC insulation resistance is calculated from the AC fault current.
