Bender ISOMETER - Model iso685 Series - Advanced Ground-Fault Detector for Ungrounded Systems
The iso685 series by Bender is a state-of-the-art ground-fault detector tailored for ungrounded AC and DC systems, including those with power conversion components like variable frequency drives and inverters. Built with the latest monitoring technology, the iso685 ensures precise insulation resistance measurements applicable to diverse power systems and control environments. This detector complies with NEC and CEC standards for ground detectors, covering systems up to 690 VAC and 1000 VDC, expandable to 12 kV with accessories. It continuously monitors insulation resistance to detect and trend ground faults before leakage currents manifest. Installation and configuration are streamlined through predefined profiles that adapt to specific application needs. Real-time measured values are accessible via the device display and communicated through Modbus and web server channels, enhancing operational visibility.
- Ground-fault monitoring device that measures insulation resistance in ungrounded AC and DC systems, including systems with adjustable-speed drives and power conversion equipment
- Minimizes unplanned outages and eliminates the need to interrupt power to identify faulted circuits
- Proactively plan system maintenance by trending insulation deterioration over time
- Eliminates labor-intensive fault location procedures by identifying faulted circuits automatically when paired with a Bender EDS
The iso685 is the latest generation ground-fault detector for ungrounded AC and DC systems, as well as systems with power conversion equipment such as variable frequency drives and inverters, offering exceptional ground fault protection. Using the latest in monitoring technology, the iso685 provides accurate insulation resistance readings on virtually all types of power systems and control systems, with simple installation, setup, and operational features. This device meets or exceeds the requirements of NEC 250.21(B), NEC 250.167(A), and CEC 10-400 for ground detectors in ungrounded systems.
The iso685 connects directly to systems up to 690 VAC or 1000 VDC, and up to 12 kV with optional accessories. Insulation resistance is continuously monitored, allowing for detection and trending of developing ground faults before leakage current may be present. Predefined profiles simplify initial setup and tailor settings to application-specific requirements. Measured values are displayed in real-time on the device's display and via standard Modbus and web server communications.
