Patent number: 9046559Abstract: An isolation monitor is disclosed in which a switchable bias voltage is imposed on a chassis ground. An isolation voltage is measured when a bias voltage is applied. When there are no electrical faults, the isolation voltage swings up and down to known values. When a fault occurs, the isolation voltage will not to swing to the known values, and thus the isolation resistance can be measured and alarm generated if the isolation resistance falls below a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: CURTIS INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Ryan Lindsay, Roger White, Scott Bowman, John Cochoy
