installation and connection

XD301 and XD312 insulation fault detectors

have two functions:
c fault detection (with respect to the fault
threshold);
c automatic locating of the faulty circuit.

c live parts in an insulated case with a

sealable transparent cover. Width equal to 8
(XD301) or 12 (XD312) 9 mm width
modules;
c horizontal flush or surface mounting on
DIN rail;
c tunnel terminals for 1.5 mm2 wires.

operation

toroids

c XD301 and XD312 insulation fault

detectors are fixed receivers used with (but
not connected to) XM300C, XML308/316
and XM200 insulation monitoring devices.
Via measurement toroids, they detect and
automatically locate insulation faults
c the XD312 detector, with 12 channels
connected to a maximum of 12 toroids
installed on different circuits of the
installation, includes the following features
on its front face:
v 12 fault indicator lights corresponding to
the 12 channels,
v a selector to enable or disable latching of
transient fault indications until reset;
c detector XD301 is a single-channel
version designed for use with one
measurement toroid.

XD301 and XD312 insulation fault detectors

operate with type A and OA toroids. They
are also compatible with the older type N
and O toroids.

(1) The operating threshold of the XD301/312 detectors is not adjustable. These devices are designed to detect low-impedance
faults. The detection threshold varies between 100 and 2 k depending on the characteristics of the installation.

Vigilohm: functions and characteristics

XRM mobile fault locating receiver

and current probes
051350

operation
The XRM mobile receiver, used with a
current probe, is mainly intended as an
enhancement to automatic fault locating
systems. It can be placed at various points
along a faulty circuit, capturing the signal
emitted by an XM300C, XML308/316 or
XM200 insulation monitoring device to
determine the exact location of the fault.
Three current probes are available, the
XM15, XP50 and XP100.
The set of live conductors to be tested must
have a maximum diameter of 12, 50
and 100 mm respectively.

display

DB101070

The XRM receiver displays a number

from 0 to 19, corresponding to the insulation
level:
c 0: no fault;
c 19: solid fault (no insulation).

XP15, XP50 and XP100 current probes.

Note: the photographs are for information purposes only.
There are two types of probes that function in the same
way but are different in shape and colour.
