6.5 Changes in the Current Flowing through an Insulator
In insulation resistance measurements, a large amount of current flows
Upon the application of the measuring voltage to the insulator. The current
gradually reduces its value with time, but it takes a time until the value
becomes stable and fixed. This phenomena is due to the combination of the
charging current, absorption current, and leakage current, and it is
generally called dielectric absorption phenomena. The equivalent circuit of
an insulator is considered as shown in Fig. 6.5.1.
