SUMMARY
In marine isolated electrical systems, monitoring insulation resistance typically focuses on one phase due to the high impedance grounding method, which allows for the detection of ground faults without disrupting system balance. While some practitioners prefer monitoring the neutral, phase monitoring is also effective. For comprehensive understanding, resources such as the GE ground monitor installation guide and the IEEE Green Book are recommended for further study.
