MotoSafe Industrial devices Applications

The MotoSafe Insulation Monitors are intended for use in industrial applications and are designed to meet the environment requirements.

Moisture condensing from the air combined with contamination deposited on insulation and micro cracks, as starting and stopping machines causes the degradation of insulation properties.

MotoSafe Insulation Monitors are designed to provide safe monitoring of electrical insulation integrity in the industrial environment. They may be installed in any area where electrical machinery may sit. Monitors are effective in eliminating grounds on the electrical system before they occur, and give early warning of insulation degradation. This allows preventive maintenance to be scheduled when convenient, thus eliminating failure and need for emergency treatment.

The seriousness of situation can be found by using different alarm settings provided in each unit to determine the speed of insulation deterioration.

Different kinds of monitors exist:

1. Early warning monitors for electrical motors:

Such motors, which are in intermittent service are subject to thermal stresses generated by the repeated starting and stopping of the machines, that causes micro cracking of the insulation. They are also useful to monitor continuously running machines during their annual shutdown, giving early warning of the moisture induced degradation of the insulation. Since most grounds occur when wet motors are started - MotoSafe monitors detect wet motors and prevent starting.

2. Actual reading monitor: IM600IND

Designed to meet the needs of actual reading of insulation resistance of low voltage electrical machines in addition providing a visual alarm indication, start prevention and excitation control.
