9.2.1. Polarization Index (PI)
The purpose of this diagnostic test is to evaluate the influence of the polarization effects.
Upon the application of a high voltage to insulation, the electric dipoles distributed in the
insulation align in the direction of the applied electric field. This phenomenon is called
polarization. Because of the polarized molecules, a polarization (absorption) current
generates, which lowers the total value of insulation resistance.
Parameter
PI
consists in the ratio between the value of insulation resistance measured
after 1 minute and after 10 minutes. The test voltage is maintained throughout the whole
duration of the test and, at the end, the instrument provides the value of ratio:
