Comparative Tracking Index Tester – KingPo KP-FT03 with Platinum Electrodes and 600V Precision for IEC 60112 Compliance.

Comparative Tracking Index Equipment – IEC60112 CTI/PTI High Accuracy System

The Comparative Tracking Index Equipment (KP-FT03) is a high-accuracy test system manufactured by KingPo, designed to assess resistance to tracking and erosion on solid insulating materials under combined electric field and moist/contaminant conditions. It applies voltage (100–600V) and drips 0.1% NH4Cl solution between platinum electrodes to determine Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and Proof Tracking Index (PTI) per IEC60112 and GB/T4207, suitable for lighting, low-voltage apparatus, household appliances, and insulating materials.

KingPo Factory Advantages

ISO9001 & CE-certified manufacturer with global exports. KingPo has supplied over 200 units of the FT series tracking test equipment to electrical safety labs and material manufacturers in China, Europe, and Southeast Asia since 2018, with CNAS calibration reports available on all equipment. The KP-FT03 is supported by lifetime free software upgrades and 48-hour on-site response during warranty period in Dongguan.

Professional Construction & Technical Precision

Key features include:

• Electrode Assembly: Brass head with platinum tip – welding force 1.0 ± 0.05N, distance 4.0 ± 0.01mm, angle 60° ±5° for stable contact and accurate current flow
• Voltage Control: 100–600V (48–60Hz) adjustable – voltage drop <8% under 1.0 ± 0.1A short-circuit condition, ensuring reliable high-field simulation
• Droplet System: Height 30–40mm adjustable, size 44–55 drops/cm³ – interval 30 ± 5s for consistent contamination and repeatable CTI/PTI results
• Leakage Detection: Triggers at >0.5A current for 2s – automatic power cut-off and indication for unqualified specimens, preventing damage
• Control System: Single-chip microcomputer + touch screen – independent ventilation, automatic process control, and high anti-interference performance
• Test Chamber: Minimum 0.5 m³ volume – maintains stable environmental conditions for precise comparative tracking index evaluation

Compliance & Regulatory Assurance

The Comparative Tracking Index Tester is vital for meeting global safety mandates. According to reports from the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission), electrical tracking in appliances remains a leading cause of residential fires. Furthermore, technical discussions on EE Times emphasize the necessity of $CTI$ validation for the next generation of high-density electronic packaging. For researchers looking into the molecular breakdown of polymers under electrical stress, extensive peer-reviewed data can be found on ScienceDirect, providing the scientific basis for our KP-FT03’s precision engineering.
