5.6. Diagnostic test
Selecting this function displays the following states (initial state and state with results
after the completion of the measurement).

This is a long duration test for evaluating the quality of the insulation material under test.
The results of this test enable a decision to be made on the preventive replacement of
the insulation material.
POLARIZATION INDEX (PI)
PI is the ratio of Insulation Resistance values measured after 1 minute and after 10
minutes. The DC test voltage is present during the whole period of the measurement
(also Insulation Resistance measurement is running). On completion of the test the PI
ratio is displayed:

Note: When determining Riso (1min) pay close attention to the capacitance of the object
under test. It has to be charged-up in the first time section (1 min). Approximate
