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 (100โ600 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.
