Abstract

Provided is an insulation resistance monitoring device that enables measurement of insulation resistance using a mega tester without removing the insulation resistance monitoring device. The insulation resistance monitoring device that monitors the insulation resistance of an object to be measured such as a motor includes: a current detecting unit that is connected between the power supply line and the ground line of the motor and detects a current flowing through the insulation resistance of the motor; a voltage generating unit connected between the power supply line and the ground line of the motor; and a switch for opening and closing the connection path between the power supply line or the ground line of the motor and the voltage generating unit, wherein the off resistance when the connection path is opened is 100 MΩ or more.

Claims (15)

1. An insulation resistance monitoring device for monitoring an insulation resistance of an object to be measured, the insulation resistance monitoring device comprising:

a current detecting unit that is connected between a power supply line and a ground line of the object to be measured and detects a current flowing through the insulation resistance of the object to be measured;

a voltage generating unit that is connected between the power supply line and the ground line of the object to be measured; and

a switch that opens and closes a connection path between the power supply line or the ground line of the object to be measured and the voltage generating unit,

wherein the switch has an off resistance of 100 MΩ or more when the connection path is opened.

2. The insulation resistance monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switch has an off resistance of preferably 1000 MΩ or more when the connection path is opened.

3. The insulation resistance monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switch is a reed relay.

4. The insulation resistance monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein

the switch is a reed relay.

5. The insulation resistance monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the switch is a mechanical switch.

6. The insulation resistance monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein

the switch is a mechanical switch.
