Insulation resistance

Insulation resistance refers to the ability of insulating materials to resist electrical current. In practical terms, it measures how well a material prevents electricity from leaking out where it shouldn't. Good insulation resistance is crucial for safety, as it reduces the risk of electric shocks and short circuits. It is commonly tested in electrical systems to ensure that wires and components are safe and functioning correctly. A higher insulation resistance value indicates better insulation quality, helping to protect both equipment and people from potential electrical hazards.
