Diagnostic Test Methods: DAR and PI

Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) Test

The Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) is a crucial diagnostic method for assessing insulation condition. By measuring the ratio of insulation resistance at two specific time intervals (typically 30 and 60 seconds), it provides rapid insights into insulation health.

Key Diagnostic Capabilities:

Quickly detect moisture contamination
Identify early signs of insulation degradation
Evaluate polarization characteristics of insulating materials
Provide fast assessment of electrical equipment reliability

Polarization Index (PI) Test

The Polarization Index (PI) offers a more comprehensive evaluation of insulation condition by comparing insulation resistance at 10 minutes to the resistance at 1 minute after applying a test voltage.

Critical Applications:

Comprehensive long-term insulation health assessment
Detecting gradual insulation deterioration
Identifying complex insulation defects
In-depth reliability analysis of electrical systems

PI Test Interpretation:

PI > 2: Indicates good insulation condition
PI 1-2: Suggests potential insulation issues
PI < 1: Indicates significant insulation degradation
