depending on the rated voltage by multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the specific
critical resistance value. Convert the value for the current winding temperature at the time
of measurement, see above table.
Measuring the polarization index
1. To determine the polarization index, measure the insulation resistances after one minute
and ten minutes.
2. Express the measured values as a ratio:
Polarization index =
R
insul 10 min
/ R
insul 1 min
Many measuring devices display these values automatically following the measurement.
Measuring the polarization index is not helpful for insulation resistances > 5000 MΩ, and is
therefore not included in the assessment.

NOTICE
Damage to insulation
If the critical insulation resistance is reached or undershot, this can damage the insulation
and cause voltage flashovers.
• Contact the service center (Page 159).
• If the measured value is close to the critical value, you must subsequently check the
insulation resistance at shorter intervals.
Limit values of the anti-condensation heating insulation resistance
It is not permissible that the insulation resistance of the anti-condensation heating with
respect to the machine enclosure falls below 1 MΩ when measured at 500 V DC.
