Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) for Insulating Material group – IEC 60112

CTI is max voltage which material can withstands 50 water drops without without formation of conductive path.

CTI is max voltage which material can withstands 50 drops of water contaminated with ammonium chloride etc, without tracking, i.e without formation of conductive path, due to Humidity, Contamination or Electrical stress.
