The IR125Y‑2 is a compact insulation monitoring device designed for unearthed systems (IT systems). It continuously monitors the insulation resistance of AC/DC 9.6…100 V control circuits. The device is powered directly from the monitored system without the need for an external auxiliary supply. It uses the active AMP measuring principle, which reliably detects both asymmetrical and symmetrical insulation faults, providing comprehensive protection.
The device is particularly suitable for control voltage networks in automation systems, allowing insulation deterioration to be identified before it reaches a critical level, thus preventing personal injury and production downtime. It complies with DIN EN 61557‑8, IEC 61557‑8, and EN 61557‑8.
