Insulation monitor RN 5897/274

The insulation monitor RN 5897/274 of the VARIMETER IMD family is a solution for optimal insulation monitoring of modern IT systems. The device can be used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems. The setting of the parameters and the switching values is done by simple and operator friendly rotational switches on front of the device. The operating status is indicated user friendly via a multicolour LED. With a sealable transparent cover the device is protected against manipulation. The RN5897/274 has a semiconductor output (PWM) to indicate the insulation resistance.
