Insulation resistance is a crucial electrical safety parameter that measures the ability of an insulating material to resist the flow of electric current. It is a critical factor in ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems, preventing electrical shock, equipment damage, and even fires.
A high insulation resistance value indicates that the insulating material is effectively preventing current leakage, while a low value suggests a potential issue that needs to be addressed. Regular testing and monitoring of insulation resistance are essential for maintaining electrical safety and preventing accidents.
