Product catalog summary
Device Overview
The ISOMETER® isoRW425 is an insulation monitoring device designed for unearthed AC, AC/DC, and DC systems in railway applications, supporting voltages up to 440 V. It monitors insulation resistance (RF) or impedance (ZF) and is suitable for systems with galvanically connected rectifiers or frequency converters.

Key Features
  • Monitors insulation resistance or impedance for unearthed systems.
  • Measures system voltage with undervoltage/overvoltage detection.
  • Selectable delays for start-up, response, and release.
  • Alarm outputs via LEDs, display, and relays.
  • Automatic self-test and connection monitoring.
  • RS-485 interface supporting BMS, Modbus RTU, and IsoData protocols.

Intended Use
The device is intended for monitoring unearthed AC/DC main circuits with nominal voltages up to 440 V. It can handle system leakage capacitance up to 300 μF in R mode and 1 μF in Z mode. Proper parameter settings are required to meet local standards and conditions.

Functional Description
The ISOMETER® measures insulation resistance and system leakage capacitance, calculating impedance in Z mode. It provides alarm indications if set thresholds are violated and supports fault memory activation.

Technical Specifications
  • Rated voltage: 440 V, Overvoltage category III.
  • Supply voltage: AC 100-240 V, DC 24-240 V.
  • Response values: Adjustable ranges for resistance and impedance.
  • Environmental conditions: Operating temperature from -40 to +70 ºC.

Connection and Installation
The device requires specific wiring configurations, including the use of fuses for UL and CSA applications. It supports both screw-type and push-wire terminals.

Standards and Certifications
The ISOMETER® complies with standards such as DIN EN 61557-8 and EN 45545-2, ensuring suitability for railway applications. EU and UKCA Declarations of Conformity are available online.

Ordering Information
Available in different configurations with options for increased shock and vibration resistance. Accessories include mounting clips and frames.

Insulation monitoring device for unearthed AC-, AC/DC and DC systems in railway applications up to 3(N)AC, AC/DC 440 V Intended use The ISOMETER® monitors the insulation resistance RF (R mode) or the insulation impedance (Z mode) of unearthed AC/DC main circuits (IT systems) with nominal system voltages of 3(N)AC, AC, AC/DC or DC 0…440 V . DC components existing in 3(N)AC, AC/DC systems do not influence the operating characteristics when a minimum load current of DC 10 mA flows. The separate supply voltage Us allows de-energised systems to be monitored as well. The maximum permissible system...
