Insulation Monitoring on Ungrounded Systems<br />
Ungrounded systems onboard ships <strong>and</strong> offshore platforms are continuously monitored<br />
by a BENDER ground detector. Connected between the active conductors <strong>and</strong><br />
ground (the hull), the detector superimposes a small measuring voltage onto the<br />
system. If a ground fault occurs, the measuring circuit is closed <strong>and</strong> a small measauring<br />
current will flow. The measuring current is proportional to the insulation resistance<br />
(the magnitude of the ground fault), <strong>and</strong> is evaluated by the detector.<br />
BENDER ground detectors employ the latest in detection technology, including the following:<br />
DC measuring voltage<br />
A frequently used measuring principle is<br />
the superimposition of a DC measuring<br />
voltage between the system <strong>and</strong> ground.<br />
This is the st<strong>and</strong>ard measuring principle for<br />
pure AC ungrounded systems, both single-<br />
<strong>and</strong> three-phase.<br />

AMP measuring principle<br />
BENDER's AMP measuring principle overcomes<br />
the limitations of DC measuring<br />
signals by superimposing a clocked, pulsed<br />
measuring voltage onto the system. The<br />
signal is microprocessor controlled to<br />
automatically adapt itself to prevailing<br />
system conditions, such as high leakage<br />
capacitances. This signal is ideal for toda'ys<br />
modern power distribution systems that<br />
include: Pure DC systems, systems with a<br />
mix of AC <strong>and</strong> DC (including rectifiers), <strong>and</strong><br />
systems with variable frequency drives<br />
(VFDs).<br />

<strong>Ground</strong> <strong>Fault</strong> Location for Ungrounded Systems<br />
BENDER‘s complete ground fault location<br />
system helps increase the reliability of<br />
your system, reduce costs, <strong>and</strong> create predictive<br />
maintenance by locating ground<br />
faults quickly <strong>and</strong> easily. The EDS series<br />
extends the capabilities of the IRDH575<br />
ground detector to not only know that<br />
there is a problem, but to find it as well.<br />
EDS series location modules assist in<br />
automating the process of finding faults<br />
by connecting to subfeeders or loads<br />
<strong>and</strong> providing notification when a fault<br />
has been located. Remote indicators also<br />
work in conjunction with this system to<br />
notify nurse <strong>and</strong> technical stations quickly<br />
when a problem has occured. Remote<br />
communication solutions allow personnel<br />
in main stations to know when a problem<br />
has occured in real-time.<br />
Advantages of ground fault location with the EDS series<br />
Improved economic<br />
efficiency<br />

Monitoring <strong>Ground</strong>ed <strong>and</strong> HRG Circuits<br />
RCMS series devices are multi-channel ground fault location<br />
modules which can monitor up to 12 separate circuits /<br />
branches per device. Multiple devices may be interconnected<br />
to each other to increase this amount. RCMS devices are<br />
designed for use on grounded <strong>and</strong> high-resistance grounded<br />
systems. RCMS modules are also compatible with BENDER's<br />
communication system, to provide remote notification to<br />
technicians in the event of an alarm.<br />
Typical applications include any equipment that is solidly or<br />
resistance grounded. On ships, this may include entertainment<br />
areas, <strong>and</strong> cabins. On offshore platforms, this may include<br />
topside equipment, such as motors.<br />
