ABSTRACT:
Insulation monitoring of a direct current power supply system is achieved by application of an alternating current and the detector is constituted by a current transformer and a Hall-effect current sensor. This Hall-effect sensor controls a direct current generator, which supplies a compensation winding of the current transformer, so as to prevent saturation of the toroid of this current transformer. When a ground fault occurs, the alternating current generator generates a fault current detected by the transformer.
