Abstract
The invention relates to insulation fault location systems and methods for insulation fault location for an ungrounded DC power supply system, which is redundantly fed from a first direct voltage supply source coupled to diodes and a second direct voltage supply source coupled to diodes and to which a consumer is redundantly coupled. Due to the diode coupling and the asymmetric current splitting of the load current associated therewith, non-compensational partial currents arise in the supply lines in such a power supply system and consequently differential current portions, which can be captured by measuring current transformers and which can interfere with a valid test current during an insulation fault location. In order to eliminate the interfering differential current portions, compensating measures on the primary side are proposed in the measuring current transformers and indirect compensating measures on the secondary side are proposed in an insulation fault location apparatus.
