KCM165K

Product catalog summary
Application and General Overview:
The KCM165K is a digitally controlled insulation monitoring device designed for non-grounded (IT) AC systems, primarily used in marine, offshore, seabed, and downhole installations. It requires an AC or DC auxiliary voltage and is capable of monitoring insulation levels between the system and its protective earth. The device provides clear safety messages through an ohmmeter and triple-zone status LEDs indicating alarm (red), warning (yellow), and healthy (green) states.
Measuring Principle:
The KCM165K injects a 15VDC signal into the monitored system to measure insulation resistance. The device is immune to normal load influences and measures all phases by connecting to either line or neutral points. It features a delay in monitoring function start to prevent false readings due to initial network capacitance charging. The unit is protected against megger test voltages up to 1.4kVDC when auxiliary power is off.
Outputs and Safety Features:
The device includes C/O relay outputs for warning and alarm, configured for fail-safe operation. Trip levels and delays are adjustable, and the unit provides an isolated analogue output proportional to insulation level for remote meter reading. A voltage adapter is required for line voltages above 0V to protect personnel from high voltage exposure.
Specifications:
Auxiliary Supply: 100-120, 200-240, 380-415, or 440-460VAC, 40-70Hz; 12-24, 48, or 110VDC. Contact rating: AC: 100VA - 250V/2A max; DC: 50W - 100V/1A max. Analogue Output: Up to 20mA, max 500R. Temperature range: -20 to +70ºC. Weight: 0.6kgs. Front protection: IP21.
Compliance and Standards:
The KCM165K complies with AODC035, IEC60092-504, and relevant environmental and EMC tests specified in IEC60068/60092 and IEC61000/60533, meeting major Classification Societies' requirements.
Intelligent Setting Assistance:
The device includes an assistance tool for setting and verifying trip levels and analogue output. Adjustments can be made using potmeters, and the device will revert to normal monitoring mode after approximately 10 seconds without movement.
Ordering and Installation:
For installation, use a N.C. auxiliary contact on the motor breaker for standby mode. The device features a built-in disable function for connecting multiple IT-networks, with a flashing power LED indicating inactive status. Ordering example includes type, auxiliary supply, network voltage, and analogue output specifications.

STANDBY INSULATION GUARD (MEGGER) FOR NON-GROUNDED SYSTEMS KCM165K • Direct connection up to 690V line voltage, up to 25kV with HV adapter, continuos standby monitoring for motors, pumps etc. • For use in land, marine, offshore Installations • ”Megger” - safe to 1.4kVDC when aux power is OFF • Parallelling Disable Function • Triple-zone insulation monitoring • Immune to earth capacitance • Analogue output proportional to meter reading • Optional slave indicator Application Specifications General Auxiliary Supply: Optional Voltage: Contact rating: The digitally controlled KCM165K monitors insulation level between a non-live non-grounded (IT) AC system and its protective earth. This unit is used for marine, offshore, seabed and down hole installations for megging in standby position. An AC or DC auxiliary voltage is required for the unit. Only ONE KCM16K can be connected to each ITsystem. The ohmmeter and the triple-zone status LEDs give at a glance the clear safety message: Analogue Output: (other on request) Temperature: Weight: Front protection: INTELLIGENT SETTING ASSISTANCE KCM165K has a built-in Assistance tool for setting/verification of the trip levels and the analogue output. When either the Warning or Alarm potmeter on the front is operated by user, the slave meter goes into Assistance Mode and meter reading and analogue output will reflect the potmeter setting. How to set alarm levels: Firstly adjust potmeter fully clockwise (see that slave meter goes to the top), then adjust potmeter down to required Warning or Alarm setpoint. Without any movement of potmeters, the meter will revert to normal Insulation Monitoring Mode after approximately 10 seconds. How to test analogue output signal: Adjust any trip level potmeter to activate Assistance Mode. Example: On a 4-20mA output, adjust potmeter fully anti clockwise for 4mAand fully clockwise for 20mA. The KCM165K range is designed to comply with specification AODC035 “Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Electricity Under Water” issued by IMCA. The unit meets IEC60092-504 and the relevant environmental and EMC tests specified in IEC60068/60092 and IEC61000/60533 respectively, to comply with the requirements of the major Classification Societies. - ALARM (red zone) - WARNING (yellow zone) - HEALTHY (green zone) General IDV MEASURING PRINCIPLE Insulation is measured between the complete galvanically interconnected AC network and its protective earth. The unit injects a 15VDC measuring signal into the monitored system. The signal flows to ground via the path of the insulation fault, the level of flow indicates the insulation resistance. The measuring accuracy is not influenced by any normal kind of load attached to the AC network. The KPM165K measures all phases just by connection to either line or neutral point. Start of monitoring function is delayed when auxiliary power is switched on (default 30 secs delay) to avoid false reading caused by initial charging of network spread capacitance. If powered from separate source there can be a stabilizing time if there is network spread capacitance. MEGGER SAFE When auxiliary power is OFF the unit input is automatically protected against “megger” test voltages up to 1.4kVDC, and incorrect measurements caused by the unit’s input impedance are avoided. OUTPUTS The unit has C/O relay outputs for Warning and Alarm. The Alarm relays are fail to safety configured. A trip LED flashes when the trip level is passed, the relay trips when the delay has elapsed. The timer resets if the fault is removed during countdown. Trip levels and delays are settable on unit front. The unit is supplied with an isolated analogue output proportional to insulation level. If output is used for remote meter reading, we recommend 0-1mAfor the slave indicator. SAFETY To protect the KCM165K and personnel against high voltage exposure a voltage adapter is needed for line-voltage above 690V.
