Abstract

An insulation monitoring device comprises an input circuit of a reference AC signal, and an electronic detection circuit for discriminating the components of a measurement signal proportional to the ground fault impedance Z formed by a leakage resistor Rf in parallel with a leakage capacitor C. A synchronous detector has a pair of static inverters processing the first component, which is a function of the current IR flowing through the leakage resistor Rf, and of the second component which is a function of the current IC flowing through the capacitor C. A converter cooperates with the generator to deliver two quadrature signals C1 and C2 to respectively control the inverters. A display means accurately displays the value of the leakage resistance Rf.
