Method and electric circuit arrangement for selective insulation monitoring in a power supply system having isolable subsystems
The invention relates to a method ( 1 ) and to an electric circuit arrangement ( 2 ) for selective insulation monitoring in a power supply system ( 10 ) having isolable subsystems ( 20 ) which each has an integrated energy storage ( 22 ). In this context, the subsystem to be monitored ( 20 ) is cyclically and temporarily isolated (S 1 ) for the duration of a measuring interval (ΔT) with all-pole semiconductor disconnectors (SW); operation of the isolated subsystem ( 20 ) to be monitored is continued (S 2 ) by means of its integrated energy storage ( 22 ) during the measuring interval (ΔT); and an insulation resistance (R f ) of the subsystem ( 20 ) is measured (S 3 ) during the measuring interval (ΔT) by means of a standard insulation monitoring device (IMD).

cyclic, temporary isolating (S 1 ) the isolable subsystems to be monitored for a duration of a measuring interval (ΔT) with all-pole semiconductor disconnectors (SW),
continued operating (S 2 ) the isolated isolable subsystems ( 20 ) to be monitored by means of its integrated energy storage ( 22 ) during the measuring interval (ΔT),
measuring (S 3 ) an insulation resistance (R f ) of the isolable subsystems ( 20 ) during the measuring interval (ΔT) by means of a standardized insulation monitoring device (IMD).
2. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the measuring (S 3 ) is implemented using a measuring method which allows a sufficiently reliable determination of the insulation resistance (R f ) within precisely one measuring interval (ΔT) or in a cyclic sequence of several measuring intervals (ΔT).
3. The method according to claim 2 , characterized in that the implemented measuring method is a pulse measuring method with an evaluation of a time constant determined in the isolable subsystems ( 20 ) by a capacitance charge.
4. The method according to claim 1 , characterized by the use of all-pole semiconductor disconnectors (SW) having sufficiently high-impedance isolation properties.
5. The method according claim 1 , characterized in that should the all-pole semiconductor disconnectors (SW) not have sufficiently high-impedance isolation properties, a basic insulation value is taken into consideration when determining the insulation resistance (R f ).
6. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the integrated energy storage ( 22 ) is used when using a convertor system in the isolable subsystems ( 20 ) and/or switching power supply's energy storage is used when using switching power supplies.
