The values of PI and DAR are calculated as follows:
PI = R R
10 min / 1 min
DAR = R R
1 min / 30 s
They are especially useful for monitoring the ageing of the insulation of revolving machines or of very
long cables.
On items of this type, the measurement is initially perturbed by spurious currents (capacitive charging
current, dielectric absorption current) that gradually cancel out. To measure the leakage current
representative of the insulation accurately, it is therefore necessary to make measurements of long
duration.
2 : For the calculation of the PI, the times of 1 and 10 minutes can be modified by the user, if required,
for a particular application. See § 4.1.
