Polarisation Index,the
better way to IR test.
Effect of Temperature on IR
One may argue that by measuring argue that by measuring IR after
one minute, one can diagnose the condition of the insulator. If it is
less, the insulation will be considered to have been deteriorated.
Importance of PI
PI was developed to make interpretation of results less sensitive to
temperature. PI is the ratio of two IR at two different times.
Temperature of the winding does not rise during the test period of
10 minutes. So it is fairly assumed that both R10 and R1 are
measured at same winding temperature. Then the temperature
correction factor will be same for both cases and will be cancelled
during the calculation of Pl. Thus PI is relatively insensitive to
temperature. Further in the formula of PI, the polarization current
is used as a 'yard stick' to see if the leakage and conduction
currents are excessive. If these later currents are much larger than
the polarization current, the ratio will be about one. It is known
from the experience that, if PI is about one, leakage and
conduction currents are large enough that electrical tracking will
occur. Conversely, if the leakage and conduction current are low
compared to polarization currents, PI will be greater than 2, and
experience shows that electrical tracking problems are unlikely.
Thus during test, if we see the decay in the total current or rise in
the IR in the interval between 1 minute and 10 minutes, then this
must be due to polarization current ( since the leakage and
conduction currents are constant with time) which implies that the
