RN 5893
RN 5893
Product Description
The insulation monitor RN 5893 of the VARIMETER IMD family is a solution
for optimal insulation monitoring of modern IT systems. The device can be
used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems. Mains areas
of applications are non-earthed DC charging stations for electric vehicles
with mains voltages up to DC 1000 V. The adjustment of the setting values
is simple and user friendly done on 2 rotary switches on the front of the
device. Via display and LEDs the measured value, device parameters
and device status are indicated easy to read. With a sealable transparent
cover the device is protectet against manipulation. The RN 5893 has an
additonal Modbus RTU-interface. All measured values, device states
and parameters can be read out, set and parameterized. All functions
available on the device can also be operated via Modbus.
