SUMMARIZE

The GYDCG-UBC1 Series model product is an efficient insulation monitoring device designed for car charging piles. It can monitor the insulation condition of the DC power system of the car charging pile in real time, detect and alarm any potential insulation failure in time, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of fire and safety accidents. Users can realize the start and stop of a certain insulation monitoring and the acquisition of values through RS485 communication.

This product has the characteristics of high reliability, easy installation, and convenient use. It is one of the important equipment to ensure the safe and stable operation of car charging piles. In addition, the monitor can also provide effective information about the charging pile power system through data analysis and processing, and provide an important reference for operation management and maintenance.

The product can send communication frames through RS485 to turn on or off the insulation monitoring function. After the insulation monitoring function is turned on, the high-voltage grounding switch K is closed and the real-time measurement of insulation resistance is realized. After the insulation monitoring function is turned off, the high-voltage grounding switch K is disconnected. The host can send read command to read the insulation resistance value of positive and negative poles at any time.

Notes:
Only when the DC voltage is between 1 00V~1 000V, Insulation resistance monitoring can be realized. If DC voltage is low than 100V, or it is turned on within a short time, the insulation resistance read is 0xFFFF (means invalid number).
If the read insulation resistance value is a valid number, the insulation resistance value monitoring range is between 1 KO~1 OMO. When the measured value is greater than 1 OMO, the value received by the communication is 0xEA60 (means infinity).

GYDCG-UBC1  Single-circuit insulation monitoring DC voltage detection
GYDCG-UBC1 SMV Single-circuit insulation monitoring DC voltage detection vehicle side voltage measurement
GYDCG-UBC1X Single-circuit insulation monitoring DC voltage detection DC capacitor discharge
GYDCG-UBC1MVX Single-circuit insulation monitoring DC voltage detection vehicle side voltage measurement DC capacitor discharge
Notes:
  1. Vehicle side voltage measurement ( Optional, with ‘V’ in the model sheet)
    The measurement range is 0V-1 000V, and the output value is the actual voltage value. Connect the positive and negative poles of the vehicle side DC to “V+” and “V-” to measure the vehicle side DC voltage in real time.
  2. DC capacitor charge discharge (Optional, with ‘X’ in the model sheet) For models equipped with a discharge function, discharge is achieved by sending a discharge command message. The discharge circuit controls the discharge function by turning on and off the IGBT, and the discharge current should be less than 20A. The discharge function will automatically turn off after 2 seconds of being activated.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

All installation specification described at the previous chapters named: INSTALLATION AND STARTUP, INSTALLATION MODES and SPECIFICATIONS.

Please note that with the instrument powered on, the terminals could be dangerous to touching and cover opening actions or elements removal may allow accessing dangerous parts. This instrument is factory-shipped at proper operation condition.

  • The device must have a professional installation and maintenance
  • Any operation of the device, you must cut off the input signal and power;7.

MAINTENANCE

The GYDCG-UBC1 Series does not require any special maintenance. No adjustment, maintenance or repairing action should be done when the instrument is open and powered on, should those actions are essential, high-qualified operators must perform them. Before any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repairing operation is carried out, the instrument must be disconnected from any power supply source. When any protection failure is suspected to exist, the instrument must be immediately put out of service. The instrument’s design allows a quick replacement in case of any failure.

 FAQS

  1. Question 1: The power indicator LED is off
    Check whether the power supply terminal of the module is improperly connected, or the hot swap overcurrent causes the fuse to burn, try to avoid hot plug.
  2. Question 2: The insulation monitoring resistance is infinite after the simulation of insulation resistance
    Check whether the ground cable is connected reliably at GND port.
  3. Question 3: The insulation monitoring resistance is much smaller than actual value

The DC ground capacitance may be too large. Check the DC ground capacitance
