The IR145Y‑4 is an insulation monitoring device designed for unearthed systems (IT systems). It continuously monitors the insulation resistance of AC/DC main circuits up to 300 V. When the insulation value falls below a preset threshold, the device triggers an alarm, allowing the first earth fault to be detected before a second fault causes a power outage or equipment damage. The device complies with IEC 61557‑8 and is suitable for both AC and DC unearthed systems.

Key Features
· Insulation monitoring: Continuously monitors the insulation resistance of the IT system to earth; adjustable response value from 10 kΩ to 200 kΩ.
· Two independent alarm stages: Two separate alarm relays for pre‑warning and main alarm, enabling staged alarming.
· LED status indication: Front‑panel LEDs (Power On, AC, DC+, DC‑) clearly indicate device status and the faulty side (AC or DC).
· Connection monitoring: LED flashes when the measuring leads (L1/L2) or earth connection (KE/E) is interrupted.
· Fault memory: Selectable latching function via DIP switch; alarm status remains until manually reset.
· Self‑test and reset: Combined TEST/RESET button on front panel (short press < 1 s = reset, long press > 2 s = test); supports external test/reset push‑buttons.
· Relay configuration: Alarm relay operating principle (N/O or N/C) selectable via DIP switch.
Typical Applications
· Industrial IT systems (AC/DC unearthed systems)
· Online insulation monitoring of mobile generators
· Unearthed control circuits in control cabinets and machinery
· Lighting systems, building electrical installations
· DC distribution systems
