Electrical safety at every stage of production.
Bender’s photovoltaic brochure considers the solar installation beyond an individual inverter or group of panels. The DC generation circuit, the inverter’s galvanic configuration and the string arrangement are assessed together.

Two main insulation monitoring options for large-scale PV systems. Consider system leakage capacitance, measurement requirements and variant selection together.
Insulation monitoring with a graphical display in large photovoltaic IT systems, with an integrated locating current injector to support EDS insulation fault location.

Three PV inverters and the storage system connect to a common unearthed AC IT busbar. The battery connects to the AC side through a bidirectional PCS. isoPV1685DP or isoPV1685RTU in the AC panel monitors overall insulation condition. Select charging or discharging and mark the AC branches on which to create simultaneous faults. Inverters 1, 2 and 3 can be selected individually or together; PCS/storage and the outgoing AC branch can also be added. Set Riso and the AL1/AL2 thresholds in the measurement panel. The entered resistance updates the alarm state immediately. Play the scenario or proceed step by step: follow the insulation resistance drop, isoPV1685 prewarning and alarm, and identification of the selected faulty AC branches on separate DP + EDS channels. Scenario progress is retained when changing energy mode or faulty branch selection. The two IMDs are shown as alternatives in the same position.
Charging and discharging · AC panel ↔ PCS ↔ batteryInitial state: PV inverters and the storage PCS are connected to a common AC IT panel. Select the energy direction and one or more AC branches on which to create a fault; play the scenario or use “Next step”. Set Riso and the AL1/AL2 thresholds in the measurement panel; the alarm state updates accordingly. During playback, follow the resistance drop and threshold crossings. After the DP + EDS search, all selected faulty AC branches are shown with their own channel numbers. Riso measurement pauses during EDS operation; the last measured value is retained. RTU has no integrated locating current injector.
Riso is the equivalent insulation resistance to earth of the monitored AC IT system; it is not a measurement of a single branch. Initially, AL1 = 40 kΩ and AL2 = 10 kΩ are selected. Riso and both thresholds can be changed within the example range of 0.2–50 kΩ; AL1 cannot be lower than AL2. This range belongs to the simulation.
The thresholds and resistance values belong only to this educational example; they are not factory settings or application recommendations. Playback moves from the entered initial value to an illustrative fault value below AL2; if the lower limit prevents reaching a value below AL2, no EDS result is generated. Changing a value or threshold pauses the scenario and applies the new starting condition; energy direction and multiple branch selection are retained. Branch selection does not automatically change the overall system Riso; individual branch resistances are not calculated. When all branches are deselected, the general IMD alarm continues to depend on the entered Riso, while the EDS search and channel results close. The accelerated steps do not represent actual device response times. Multiple results are summarised together in this example; in a real system, locating current division between faulty branches and channel conditions can affect detection. EDS does not measure insulation resistance per branch. With RTU selected, the sequence ends at the general insulation alarm; EDS fault location in this example requires DP.
The IMD with graphical display in the AC panel monitors the insulation condition of the AC IT busbar. Its integrated locating current injector supports insulation fault location with EDS; insulation resistance measurement pauses temporarily during fault location.
DP technical details ↗Monitors the AC IT busbar from the same AC panel position as an alternative to DP. RTU has no integrated locating current injector; in this example, EDS fault location is available only when DP is selected.
RTU and P variants ↗The EDS in the AC panel evaluates the measuring current transformer on each PV inverter’s separate AC branch before it joins the common AC busbar. PV inverters 1, 2 and 3 are monitored on separate EDS channels; together with PCS/storage and the AC outgoing branch, all five AC branches can be selected simultaneously. EDS identifies each faulty branch through its own measuring current transformer and channel result. With charging or discharging selected, follow the Riso drop and the IMD’s AL1/AL2 alarm, followed by the DP + EDS search and the identification of the selected faulty AC branches on separate channels, all in the same view. Energy direction and insulation fault location are shown as separate layers. This does not represent DC string identification behind an inverter or battery cell fault location.
EDS440 and documentation ↗The storage branch joins the common panel through the bidirectional PCS’s AC connection. The battery is on the PCS’s DC side. During charging, energy flows from the AC panel to the PCS, which feeds the battery through AC/DC conversion. During discharging, energy flows from the battery to the PCS, which supplies the AC panel and outgoing AC branch through DC/AC conversion. PV generation is not shown during discharge. The measuring current transformer is shown on the AC side of the storage branch.
This is a conceptual educational example, not a wiring, tripping or safe operation diagram. Energy arrows continuing during alarms and fault location do not indicate automatic tripping or that a faulty system can operate safely. This view represents an unearthed AC IT system. The measuring point and IMD/EDS compatibility depend on inverter/PCS topology, galvanic connections, system capacitance and the selected variant.

Contact us for solar product selection ↗ · Open-source licences ↗Bender’s photovoltaic brochure considers the solar installation beyond an individual inverter or group of panels. The DC generation circuit, the inverter’s galvanic configuration and the string arrangement are assessed together. Following changes in insulation resistance, identifying the circuit responsible for an alarm and providing meaningful maintenance data are complementary steps in the solution.
The measuring point differs between transformer-based, transformerless and distributed string-inverter arrangements. Assess IMD selection against the full electrical configuration alongside installation power.
