Comparative Tracking Index Description

Comparative Tracking Index Equipment โ€“ IEC60112 CTI/PTI High Accuracy System

The Comparative Tracking Index Tester is a high-accuracy test system designed to determine the resistance of solid insulating materials to tracking and erosion under combined electrical stress and contaminant conditions. Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60112 and GB/T 4207, the equipment applies voltage between platinum electrodes while dripping ammonium chloride solution to evaluate Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and Proof Tracking Index (PTI) for lighting, low-voltage apparatus, household appliances and insulating materials.

Testing Principle

The tester places two platinum electrodes on the specimen surface with a 4.0 mm gap and applies adjustable voltage (100โ€“600 V). A controlled droplet of 0.1 % NH4Cl solution is dispensed at 30 ยฑ 5 s intervals. The system monitors leakage current and automatically stops when current exceeds 0.5 A for 2 s, providing precise determination of CTI and PTI values.

Comparative Tracking Index Details

Comparative Tracking Index FAQs

How does the KP-FT03 achieve CTI and PTI testing?
The system supports Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) tests by finding the maximum voltage for 50 drops, and Proof Tracking Index (PTI) tests by validating a specific pre-set voltage.
Why is the platinum electrode tip essential?
Platinum resists oxidation and erosion under 600 V arcing, ensuring the 4.0 mm gap remains accurate throughout the test.
What solution is required for the Comparative Tracking Index test?
Standard Solution A (O.1% NH,Cl) is typically used, but the system is compatible with Solution B (198 92cm) as per IEC 60112.
How often should I clean the dripping system?
We recommend washing the pipe with distilled water after every session to prevent particles from clogging the micro-pump.
What happens when leakage current exceeds the limit in PTI testing?
Triggers at >0.5A for 2s with automatic power cut-off and indication, preventing damage and marking unqualified specimens.
What is the significance of the 1.0A short-circuit current limit?
Per IEC 60112, the voltage must not drop more than 8%during a 1.0A short circuit to ensure power supply stability.
Is the exhaust fan powerful enough for corrosive vapors?
The independent ventilation system provides high-volume air exchange to protect the stainless steel chamber from ammonium chloride buildup.
Does KingPo provide training for this Tracking Index Tester?
We provide comprehensive video tutorials and remote technical support for initial setup and standard interpretation.
How does the system record ignition time?
The PLC automatically records the time to failure once the leakage current exceeds $0.5\text{ A}$.
Can the droplet mass be calibrated?
Yes,the system allws for fine-tuning the pump frequency to maintain the mass of 20 drops between 0.380 g and 0.480 g.
