CTI/tracking
This method is used to assess the relative resistance of insulating materials to tracking. As a general rule, two different test solutions (A and B) can be used to investigate tracking.



Results of the test method:


CTI (Comparative Tracking Index): Highest voltage at which no test specimen fail during testing on five samples and after the application of 50 drops in each case

PTI (Proof Tracking Index): Voltage at which during testing on five samples to which 50 drops are applied the samples pass the test with no failures/fail the test.
