The Basics of Insulation Resistance Testing and Why It’s So Important
An insulating material is one that resists electricity trying to flow through it. Insulators help resist shock and short circuits, making electrical insulation one of the most critical components in any building or system. This also means that measuring resistance is especially important, and you must have a clear understanding of the resistance levels to take adequate precautions. Let’s take a look at the basics of resistance testing, what makes it so important, and how the right equipment can help. What Occurs During Insulation Resistance Measurement The insulation resistance test was developed in the 20th century and is one [...]
