The IR420-D6W-1 is an offline insulation monitoring device from Bender, designed to monitor loads that are temporarily disconnected or permanently de‑energised. It is used for critical equipment such as fire pumps, elevator motors, emergency generators, and slide valve drives, continuously monitoring insulation resistance during shutdown periods to prevent insulation faults caused by moisture from tripping protective devices or damaging equipment upon restart.
The device complies with IEC 61557‑8 and is suitable for TN, TT and IT systems.
