HT7052 Auto-calibration prevents the reduction in accuracy when measuring very low currents. It compensates the effects caused by ageing, temperature and humidity changes etc. A new auto-calibration is recommended when the temperature changes by more than 5C. If the instrument detects an incorrect state during the autocalibration, the following warning...
HT7052 6 HOW TO PERFORM THE MEASUREMENTS 6.1 THEORY OF INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT The purpose of insulation tests Insulating materials are important parts of almost every electrical product. The material’s properties depend not only on its compound characteristics but also on temperature, pollution, moisture, ageing, electrical and mechanical stress, etc.

HT7052 = surface resistivity (position of optional guard connection) iss1 iss2 = the actual insulation resistance of material = capacitance of material = represents polarization effects The Fig. 8 shows typical currents for that circuit, where: = overall test current (I...
HT7052 6.1.1 Time dependence test – Diagnostic test Diagnostic test is a long duration test for evaluating the quality of the insulation material under test. The results of this test enable the decision to be made on the preventive replacement of the insulation material DIELECTRIC ABSORPTION RATIO (DAR) DAR is ratio of Insulation Resistance values measured after 15s and after 1 minute.
Page 15
HT7052 POLARIZATION INDEX (PI) PI is the ratio of Insulation Resistance values measured after 1 minute and after 10 minutes. The DC test voltage is present during the whole period of the measurement (an Insulation Resistance measurement is also running). On completion of the test the PI ratio is displayed: ...

HT7052 DIELECTRIC DISCHARGE RATIO (DD) An additional effect of polarization is the recovered charge (from Cpi) after the regular discharging of a completed test. This can also be a supplementary measurement for evaluation of the quality of insulating material. This effect is generally found in insulating systems with large capacitance Ciso.
HT7052 6.1.2 Withstanding voltage test Some standards allow the use of a DC voltage as an alternative to AC withstanding voltage testing. For this purpose the test voltage has to be present across the insulation under test for a specific time. The insulation material only passes if there is no breakdown or flash over.
HT7052 6.2 GUARD TERMINAL The purpose of the GUARD terminal is to lead away potential leakage currents (e.g. surface currents), which are not a result of the measured insulation material itself but are a result of the surface contamination and moisture. This current interferes with the measurement i.e.
HT7052 6.3 USE OF INTERNAL FILTERS Filters are built in to reduce the influence of noise on measurement results. This option enables more stable results especially when dealing with high Insulation Resistances (Insulation Resistance, Diagnostic Test, Step Voltage). In these functions, the status of the filter option is shown in the top right corner of the LCD screen.
