Insulation monitoring
Insulation monitoring devices (also known as insulation monitors) permanently monitor the insulation resistance of IT systems (unearthed systems) and emit a message if a response value is not reached.

Insulation monitoring in systems with a low insulation level
Application example: Induction furnaces are devices and systems with which metals can be heated and melted by inductive heating. The energy is transferred by means of a current-carrying coil. This heating is made possible by the induction of an eddy current in a metallic conductor, the workpiece to be heated.
This generally results in a very low insulation resistance in the range of several ohms (Ω) to several kilo ohms (kΩ). For this reason, reliable insulation monitoring is very important. It must be able to measure low insulation values at relatively high operating voltages and raise an alarm to prevent dangerous operating situations.
