Page 7: Safety Instructions
The locating voltage of DC 50 V produced by the locating current injector PGH186 can cause interference at sensitive system components. In case of doubt, contact Bender. The locating current from the PGH185 or PGH186 can cause residual current devices to trip. The locating current is limited to maximum 25 mA (or 10 mA), however 30 mA residual current devices may trip, for instance, between 15 mA and 30 mA. -

Page 43: Insulation Fault Location In A System With A Permanently Installed Eds System
EDS system (IRDH575, iso685-x-P or isoxx1685xP or PGH47…). The PGH18… is not required for this application. The PGH18… is not included in the items supplied with the EDS3090 and EDS3091. Insulation fault location is therefore only possible in electrically live IT systems. Also follow the operating instructions for the permanently installed EDS system. - Page 44 Operation – Keep the measuring clamp still during the measurement! – During the measurement do not apply any pressure to the clamp limb. Place the measuring clamp around the green-yellow wire between the IRDH575, iso685-x-P or isoxx1685xP or PGH47… and earth. If the EDS195PM does not react, the insulation fault has an excessively high impedance and cannot be detected.

EDS3090/-91/-92/-96 6.12.3 Insulation fault location in diode-decoupled DC systems In diode-decoupled DC systems equalising currents occur in and between the decoupled circuits. The direction and magnitude of these equalising currents is dependent on voltages in the system, the characteristics of the decoupling diodes and the characteristics of the loads. - Page 46 Operation – Place a measuring clamp around each of the supply cables to the redundantly supplied loads. During this process ensure that the clamp is placed around all related load supply cables for a diode-decoupled load. – Pay attention to identical directions of flow on the two measuring clamps (see connection diagram). For this purpose the measuring clamps are marked with an arrow.
