Insulation Monitoring on Common Grounding Methods: Its Use in the Pulp and Paper Industry

The benefits of using a low-voltage insulation monitoring system on loads grounded with the three most common grounding methods are reviewed in this article. Premature motor failures caused by moisture will be discussed. An introduction to the concept of continuous offline monitoring will be provided as well as its safety benefits, and the advantage of using a low-voltage monitoring signal will be explored.
