RT-727A Electric Trace Resistance Index Tester

Electrical Tracking and Erosion Test (ET&E) is a key testing method for evaluating the ability of insulation materials in electrical products to resist degradation and damage caused by surface leakage current under specific conditions. This experiment simulates harsh environments such as humidity and pollution that may be encountered in actual use to test whether the surface of the material can effectively prevent the formation of leakage channels when subjected to continuous voltage, thereby avoiding short circuits and faults in electrical equipment. This article aims to explore in depth the principles, standards, testing methods, and characteristics of the electrolyte used in the leakage trace test, in order to provide reference for researchers, engineers, and product quality control personnel in related fields.

Working Principle:

**The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) is mainly based on the standard GB/T4207-2022 “Determination Method for Tracking Resistance Index and Comparative Tracking Index of Solid Insulation Materials”, which is used to simulate whether the conductive substances deposited on the surface of non-metallic materials by charged parts of different polarities in actual use of electrical products cause material creepage, breakdown short circuit, and fire hazards. The testing principle is to place a solid insulation material between two electrodes under specified test conditions, apply a certain voltage, and regularly drip a specified volume of contaminated liquid (such as 0.1% ammonium chloride solution), observe and record the voltage, current, and other parameters required to form a conductive channel on the material surface. The CTI value refers to the highest voltage value on the surface of a material that can withstand 50 drops of electrolyte without forming any leakage marks under specified test conditions, measured in V. The higher the CTI value, the stronger the material’s resistance to electrical traces.
**The Proof Tracking Index (PTI) is mainly based on the standard GB/T653-2024 “Test Method for Evaluating the Resistance to Tracking and Corrosion of Electrical Insulation Materials Used under Harsh Environmental Conditions”, which focuses more on evaluating the performance of materials after multiple pollution droplets. Its testing principle is similar to CTI, but the judgment criteria are different. The PTI value refers to the withstand voltage value, in volts, corresponding to the failure of electrical traces and the absence of sustained combustion of five samples after being subjected to 50 drops of electrolyte at a drop rate of 30 seconds under specified test conditions. The PTI test aims to determine the maximum voltage value corresponding to the failure of electrical traces or the absence of sustained combustion of a material after being subjected to a certain number of pollution droplets.

Operation Steps

RT-727A Operation Instructions

1️⃣ Sample placement: Place the qualified samples on the sample table and form a 20 ° angle with the vertical direction. Ensure good contact between the sample and the electrode, without gaps or bubbles.

2️⃣ Adjust electrodes: Adjust the distance between the electrode and the sample based on the thickness and material of the sample. In general, the distance between the electrode and the sample is 4.0mm ± 0.01mm.

3️⃣ Set experimental parameters: According to standard requirements, set parameters such as test voltage, drip time, and drip volume. The general test voltage is 600V, the drip time is 1 minute, and the drip volume is 1 drop per minute.

4️⃣ Start the experiment: After everything is ready, turn on the power switch and start the experiment. Observe the changes in the sample during the testing process. If any abnormal situations occur, the test should be stopped immediately.

5️⃣ After the experiment is completed, turn off the power switch, remove the sample, and clean the test bench and electrodes.

6️⃣ Attention: The electrolytic products generated during the experiment may cause damage to the equipment, and regular maintenance and upkeep of the equipment should be carried out.
