Method of test for determining the comparative and the proof tracking indices of solid insulating materials under moist conditions
Indicates relative resistance of solid electrical insulating materials to tracking for voltages up to 600 V when the surface is exposed under electric stress to water with the addition of contaminants. Also considers erosion of materials which do not track at the highest test voltage.
