ANSI/IEEE Insulation monitoring relay form

This reference locates insulation monitoring relay in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous relays family. An insulation monitoring relay is connected between the conductors of an unearthed (IT) system and earth, and injects a measuring signal to determine insulation resistance. It warns when insulation falls below its setting so a first fault can be located before a second fault causes a trip. The public library uses HCR1F44 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A distinction that matters

An insulation monitoring relay measures insulation resistance of an unearthed system; a residual current monitor measures leakage current in an earthed system.
