G-22 Applications Guide Model 6487 Reference Manual
Surface insulation resistance (SIR)
Figure G-18 shows how to measure the insulation resistance between PC board traces.
Note that the drawing shows a “Y” test pattern for the measurement. This is a typical test
pattern for SIR tests.
A bias voltage (typically 50V) is applied to the test pattern for a specified time (typically
one second) to polarize the test pattern. The test voltage (typically 100V) is then applied
and, after a specified time (typically one second), the Model 6487 measures the current.
Surface insulation resistance can now be calculated as follows:
where: V is the sourced test voltage
I is the measured current
