Calculations
PI calculation Calculation of polarization index
Time 1 In the standard PI calculation, the testing device is applied and insulation
resistance measurements are taken after 60 seconds (Time 1) and 600
seconds (Time 2).
The polarization index (PI) is calculated as follows:
Time 2
DAR calculation Calculation of dielectric absorption ratio
Time 1 In the standard DAR calculation, the testing device is applied and
insulation resistance measurements are taken after 30 seconds (Time 1)
and 60 seconds (Time 2).
The dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) is calculated as follows:
Time 2
