Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The document provides an overview of DOLD's VARIMETER range, focusing on residual current monitors (RCM), insulation monitoring devices (IMD), and insulation fault detection systems (EDS). These devices are designed to enhance operational readiness and safety by detecting insulation faults early, thus preventing costly downtime and potential hazards such as fires and personal injuries.
Specifications and Features: The VARIMETER range includes custom-made solutions for monitoring various system architectures, including earthed (TN/TT) and non-earthed (IT) systems. The devices are capable of measuring residual currents and insulation resistance, with adjustable tripping values and options for both AC and DC systems. They are compliant with several DIN and EN standards, ensuring safety and reliability.
Applications: These monitoring systems are applicable in diverse fields such as data centers, power plants, transportation technology, production processes, and medical areas. They are particularly useful in environments where uninterrupted power supply and safety are critical.
Advantages: The key benefits include improved operational safety, fire prevention, accident reduction, and cost efficiency. The systems provide timely notifications of potential issues, allowing for preventive maintenance and minimizing downtime.
Standards and Compliance: The devices adhere to standards such as DIN VDE 0100-410, DIN VDE 0100-551, and DIN EN 61557, which cover protective measures against electric shock and requirements for insulation monitoring in low-voltage networks.
Technical Details: The document details various device types, their operational parameters, and the principles of residual current and insulation monitoring. It includes information on the functioning of residual current monitors and insulation monitoring devices, highlighting their role in maintaining system integrity without unnecessary shutdowns.
Conclusion: DOLD's VARIMETER systems offer comprehensive solutions for monitoring and maintaining electrical safety in complex systems. By providing early warnings and facilitating preventive maintenance, these devices help ensure maximum availability and efficiency.
Overview: The document discusses insulation fault detection systems, particularly in non-earthed power supply systems (IT systems). It highlights the importance of immediate fault removal and the use of Insulation Fault Location Systems (IFLS) for fast localization of faults.
Specifications: The document specifies the use of devices like RR 5886 and RR 5887 for insulation fault detection. These devices operate within a nominal voltage range of DC, AC, 3 AC 21 ... 500 V and utilize RS-485 and Modbus RTU interfaces for communication. They support auxiliary voltages of AC/DC 24 ... 80 V and AC/DC 85 ... 230 V.
Functioning Principle: The insulation fault detection system automatically localizes faults by supplying a test current between the live line and the ground. The residual current transformer aids in fault localization, and the system can be expanded by connecting multiple devices via an RS 485 bus.
Applications: The system is applicable in various fields such as power plants, industrial systems, shipbuilding, transportation technology, and hospitals. It is particularly beneficial for data centers operating within non-earthed systems due to its ability to prevent data loss by early fault detection.
Advantages: Key advantages include automatic and fast localization of faults, increased system reliability and availability, optimal maintenance planning, and simple operation. The system supports early detection of faults, allowing for timely intervention.
Examples of Application: The document provides examples of applications for different devices like RR 5886/RR 5887, IR 5882, LK 5894, and LK 5896, each suited for specific environments and requirements.
Additional Information: The document mentions other monitoring solutions offered by DOLD, such as VARIMETER PRO, VARIMETER EX, and VARIMETER NA, which provide comprehensive monitoring and protection for various systems.

Does constant availability go without saying? The solution is simple: You know the situation: complex production systems, high requirements in terms of the quality, delivery time and reliability, permanent cost pressure. This requires more than ever a comprehensive operational readiness in order to be able to maintain and improve the competitiveness at the international level. In practice, however, a comprehensive operational readiness is often given only conditionally, because insulation faults may slowly but progressively occur due to ageing, moisture, pollution, mechanical damage and other...

Functioning principle of a residual current monitor (RCM) Residual current monitoring device, also known as RCM (Residual Current Monitor), measures and monitors the residual and fault currents in earthed systems (TN, TT systems). They are used in systems in which a message should be sent in event of an error, but the system should not be switched off. Disturbances resulting from insulation faults will therefore not lead to any unwanted operational downtime, damage to components and higher costs. Difference to the residual current circuit breaker: Residual current circuit breaker, so-called RCD...

Insulation monitoring VARIMETER IMD Functional principle of the insulation monitoring device (IMD) Insulation monitoring device (abbreviated: IMD), monitors the insulation resistance in non-earthed systems (IT systems). DIN VDE 0100-410 and DIN VDE 0100-710 standards mandate the use of an insulation monitoring device in non-earthed systems, in order to detect a first occurring fault between an active conductor and a component or against the ground. The IMD has to emit an optical and / or acoustic signal if a first fault occurs. Disturbances which are the result of insulation faults and costly...

Insulation fault detection system VARIMETER EDS Functioning principle of an insulation fault detection system (EDS) The insulation fault detection system of the VARIMETER EDS family (Earth-Fault Detection System), which consists of the test current transformer RR 5886 and the insulation fault detection device RR 5887, will automatically localise the fault source. The reliability of the systems can be improved by using nonearthed power supply systems (IT systems), since the onepole direct connection of the power supply to the ground remains maintained and the system can continue with its operation....
