Fuse inside InsulGard:Time-Lag 100mA, 250VAC, 5X20mm type 5ST by BEL Fuse Inc., Catalog # 5ST 100.
Fuse on the panel: Fast Acting 3.0A, 250VAC, 5x20mm type 5MF by Bel Fuse Inc. Catalog # 5MF 3-R (or equivalent).
NOTES:
1) To connect PD sensors to Sensor Interface Board it is necessary to take off InsulGard from the panel. To do
this disconnect flat cable from Sensor Interface Board, disconnect green plug connected to Power input,
disconnect green wire connected to din-rail terminal block # 1. Then disconnect 4 screws and take off
InsulGard. After all connections are done (see next page) install InsulGard in reverse order.
2) Relay "Status" changes its status when InsulGard has AC power and works properly. It returns in the status
shown on the label if InsulGard lost AC power or works not properly (has Error). Relay "Alarm 1" is used for
"Warning" and relay "Alarm 2" for "Alarm". They change their status if partial discharge level exceeds
predefined thresholds.
3) RS485 network (if used) should be connected to inputs A (+) and B (-). Don't use terminals G (insulated
ground) and +5 (insulated +5V).
4) USB port "Device" is used for communication with PC. Port "Host" is not used now.
5) Switch "Sw" must be in position H% to monitor humidity.
6) Please pay special attention for PD sensor connection to Sensor Interface board. InsulGard comes
preconfigured for certain sequence of the PD sensor connection to channels ##1-15. PD sensors must be
connected accordingly. For motor/generator application connect IPDS sensors on phases A, B and C starting
with channel 1 and then connect RTD PD sensors. For switchgear application this sequence is shown in the
Questionnaire you provided to us. Also it can be verified in InsulGard software → "Unit Settings" → "Settings
for Channel" section.

Cables from auxiliary sensors Coaxial cables from PD sensors Connections to relays and to
connection connection interfaces
Coaxial cables preparation:

Coaxial Cable preparation Stripper for RG58 cable Connection to Ch 1

Use coaxial cable stripper for RG58 cable (STRIP MASTER # 45264 by IDEAL, Newark catalog #05H8227 or similar).
Strip the outer PVC jacket to the distance of 1-inch, unbraid the shield and remove the inner conductor insulation about
0.25-inch (6mm), twist shield wires to avoid “hairs” and crimp the supplied blade terminal to the shield. Cut any loose
“hairs” to avoid short-circuiting. Do not use a blade terminal to connect the signal (central) conductor, mount it directly
into the terminal block. Distribute cables evenly and secure them in place.

For connection to the relays and interfaces use green plugs on right side of InsulGard:
Plug for 4-20mA Plug for Relays Plug for RS485

Stripped length of the wire insulation for all green connectors should be about 6mm (0.24”)
and about 9mm (0.35”) for din-rail terminal blocks.
