The IR475LY-4 is an insulation monitoring device from Bender, part of the A-ISOMETER® series, designed for unearthed systems (IT systems). It continuously monitors the insulation resistance of AC or DC main circuits and triggers an alarm when the insulation value falls below a preset threshold, ensuring the continuity and safety of the power supply. The device complies with IEC 61557‑8.
