What is polarisation index value?.(pi value)
Simple & brief definition of polarisation index?..

Answer Posted / v.senthilkumar - skpcl

The ratio between IR value for 10 minutes to 1 minute.

Formula (PI) = Resistance Value 10 Min after
start/Resistance value 1 Min after start. (IR 10min / IR
1min)

The recommended minimum values for PI are based on the
thermal class of the insulating materials and apply to all
insulating materials regardless of application per IEC
60085-01:1984. The PI test is not applicable to non-
insulated field winding. The recommended minimum value for
PI are as follows:

Class A Termal Class Rating = Min PI is 1.5
Class B Termal Class Rating = Min PI is 2.0
Class F Termal Class Rating = Min PI is 2.0
Class F Termal Class Rating = Min PI is 2.0

if an insulated power and control cables of a running gas diesel gensets laid direct in an open trench i.e, trench bed is not rcc of a power house in which rain water, spillage water alwas exists and all power control cables remains submerged even when gas gensets of 480 kw each runningin on load. These power &control cables runs from power house to switchgear room through these trenches in which water remains most of the time. pl explain its merit & de-merit
