III. Product Advantages

1. The KS-53DH Leakage Current Tracking Tester uses a touch screen to control and display droplet time, voltage, and current values in real time. The droplet device employs a peristaltic pump for droplet delivery. Compared to conventional solenoid valve droplet devices, the peristaltic pump allows adjustable droplet speed, making the droplet process more precise during testing.

2. CTI (Comparative Tracking Index) is used to determine the tracking resistance index of insulating materials, meeting the DIN EN 60112 standard. CTI simulates the current tracking between insulating materials via droplets between two electrodes. Commonly used insulating materials in humid or dusty environments may pose risks of heavy pressure or fire under conductive conditions. This part complies with DIN EN 60 112 / IEC 60 112 / or VDE 0303 Part 1.

3. The test meets the KA method (number of droplets / creepage channel depth) and the KA method (voltage until the 50th droplet).

4. CTI and PTI values can be determined. The combination allows fine-tuning of test voltage, test current, switching time, droplet size, and droplet count.
