Polarization index (PI) test on Insulators

All Electric Insulations are dielectric in Nature and have a Capacitive Property. During application of Voltage across the Electrical Insulation, initially there will be a charging current After few instants, the Insulation becomes totally charged and the Capacitive Chrging Current becomes zero. Hence, it is recommended tp measure insulation resistance after 1 Minute from instant…
