IEC 60112 Leakage Tracking Test Equipment For CTI And PTI Evaluation Insulating Materials Test

Product Information:

The Leakage Tracking Test Equipment is a precision laboratory instrument developed to evaluate the resistance of insulating materials against surface tracking caused by electrical stress and contamination. The test simulates real-world operating conditions where moisture and conductive pollutants may form leakage paths on insulating surfaces, potentially leading to insulation failure.

Designed in accordance with relevant clauses of IEC 60598-1 and applicable tracking index test methods, this system enables accurate determination of Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) and Proof Tracking Index (PTI) values. It is widely used for safety assessment, material qualification, and quality control in electrical and lighting industries.

Core Functions & Advantages:

Reliable Tracking Index Measurement

Accurately evaluates the tracking resistance of solid insulating materials under controlled voltage and contamination conditions.

Supports both CTI and PTI testing methods for comprehensive insulation performance assessment.

Ensures consistent droplet formation and placement for repeatable test results.

Automated Test Control

Microprocessor-based control system manages voltage application, droplet interval, and test duration automatically.

Digital monitoring of test parameters improves precision and reduces operator influence.

Automatic shutdown when tracking failure or test completion is detected.

High-Precision Liquid Delivery

Contaminant solution is delivered through a calibrated dropping device to maintain uniform droplet volume and timing.

Adjustable droplet height ensures compliance with standard test procedures.

Stable and repeatable liquid flow enhances result reliability.

Robust and Safe Design

Enclosed test area minimizes external interference and improves operator safety.

Corrosion-resistant electrodes ensure long service life and stable electrical performance.

Clear observation window allows visual monitoring of tracking development.
