Use the IT System to Improve the Availability of Power Systems

Continuity of service is an essential operational requirement for power systems, as is ensuring the
protection of people and property. There are many applications which vary from country to country.
The "ungrounded" IT system is the best option for ensuring continuity of service. Even after an initial
insulation fault has occurred, the installation can continue to function without posing any danger to people
or equipment. However, the faulty circuit must be detected and repaired before a second fault occurs.
The fact that the IT system can tolerate an initial fault means that maintenance operations can be
improved and carried out safely and without any pressure.

The IT System at Medical Facilities

At Group 2 medical facilities, the medical IT system must be used for the supply circuits. These include
those for the electrical medical equipment as well as for the life support systems and systems intended
for surgical applications, on the one hand, and the other equipment in the patient environment, on the
other.
It is practically impossible to draw up a list of Group 2 facilities because the method for categorizing how
facilities are used can vary from one country to another and may even differ within the same country. The
list of examples below has been provided purely for information:
 Anaesthetizing room
 Operating room
 Pre-operating room
 Surgical dressings (plaster) room
 Post-op recovery room
 Cardiac catheterization room
 Intensive care room
 Angiographic examination room
 Premature babies room

Monitor Insulation Resistance (R)

Standards IEC 364, IEC 61557-8, and IEC 60364-7-710 stipulate that the installation must be
ungrounded when the IT system is used.
In the event of only one ground or earth fault, the fault current is very low and interruption is unnecessary.
However, given that a second fault could potentially cause the circuit breaker to trip, an insulation
monitoring device has to be installed to indicate an initial fault. This device must trigger an audible and/or
a visual signal.
By constantly monitoring the insulation resistance, you can keep track of the system quality, which is a
form of preventive maintenance.

Function of Vigilohm IM10-H and IM20-H Devices

The Vigilohm IM10-H and IM20-H are digital insulation monitoring devices (IMDs) for low-voltage
systems with isolated neutral IT. Assigned to specific IT islands in hospitals, they can be used to monitor
the insulation of a system and signal any insulation faults as soon as they occur.
The Vigilohm IM10-H and IM20-H apply a low-frequency AC voltage between the system and ground.
The insulation is then assessed on the basis of the current value returned.
The Vigilohm IM10-H and IM20-H offer the following functions:
 Insulation resistance display (R)
 Detection of insulation faults in accordance with a configurable threshold
 Detection of a lost connection (ground or injection)

The Vigilohm IM20-H offers the following additional functions:

 Communication via the Modbus RS-485 protocol
 Insulation fault log
 Transformer monitoring:
 Display of load current for secondary (as a percentage)
 Threshold-based triggering of an alarm (as a percentage of nominal current)
 Temperature alarm (bimetal contact)

1 An insulation fault is detected on the system, the Vigilohm switches to the alarm status. The alarm
relay changes over and the alarm LED lights up.
2 The user acknowledges the alarm by pressing the button. The alarm relay reverts to its initial status.
3 The insulation fault is corrected. The alarm LED goes out. The Vigilohm reverts to normal status.
When the Vigilohm is in the alarm status and the user fails to acknowledge the alarm, the insulation fault
is transient.

Status Information
The display and the 2 two-color LEDs on the Vigilohm indicate the device’s current status.

Alarm Relay
Depending on the status of the insulation, the alarm relay is, or is not, activated according to the mode
selected: failsafe (by default) or standard.
The failsafe alarm relay is activated in the following cases:
 An insulation fault is detected.
 The product has failed.
 The product is not being supplied with power.

Transformer Monitoring

Presentation
The IT system can be used to ensure optimum availability.
All or part of the system can potentially still be lost in the event of a transformer overload or short circuit.
The impact of a short circuit is limited by discrimination.

Overload
The relevant standard stipulates that overloads and increases in temperature must be monitored in
relation to IT system transformers.
With the Vigilohm IM10-H, this monitoring function is performed independently of insulation monitoring.
In the case of the Vigilohm IM20-H, the function is integrated to facilitate operation and implementation.
To avoid global tripping as a result of an overload, the transformer load current is measured continuously,
displayed as a load percentage and compared with an alarm threshold.
Due to the fact that high temperature is the result of prolonged overload, temperature monitoring is less
critical and the incorporation of a bimetal temperature sensor is perfectly sufficient.
A transformer fault constitutes a critical installation fault (which is not true of an insulation fault):
 On the Vigilohm IM20-H, transformer faults take priority over an insulation fault.
 On the Vigilohm HRP, the red LED for indicating an electrical fault lights up in the event of a
transformer fault.
 On the Magelis panel (advanced solution for operating room), the load is displayed in the form of a bar
graph and a dedicated alarm.

Integration with an Existing Supervision Solution

All the transformer data (alarms, current, thresholds) is available via Modbus communication.

Self-test

Description
The Vigilohm has a self-test function for testing:
 The product: LEDs, internal electronics
 The measurement system and the alarm relay

Running the Self-test

The test can be run/runs:
 Manually at any time by pressing the T contextual menu button on one of the system insulation
monitoring screens
 Automatically:
 Whenever the device starts up (power-up or reset)
 Every 5 hours (except when the device is in the alarm status, regardless of whether the alarm is
active, has been acknowledged, or is transient).

Sequence of LEDs
During the verification sequence, the LEDs light up in the following order:
 Alarm white
 ON red
 Alarm yellow
 ON green

Self-test OK
If the self-test is successful, the following screen appears for 3 seconds:

After that, one of the status screens appears automatically (system insulation resistance measurement,
insulation fault alarm, or IT transformer fault alarm).

Self-test Not OK
If the self-test fails, the Alarm LED turns red and a message is displayed to indicate that the product is
malfunctioning.
If this happens, briefly disconnect the auxiliary power supply of the Vigilohm. If the fault persists, contact
technical support.
