A low polarisation index on a machine winding suggests

  • A.a short-circuited turn within one of the coils
  • B.an open circuit in the winding under test
  • C.moisture or contamination in the insulation
  • D.excellent insulation in a thoroughly dry condition

Answer: C

Correct answer: moisture or contamination in the insulation

A low index means the current is not decaying with time, which happens when a conductive path - moisture, dirt, carbon tracking - carries a steady leakage that swamps the polarisation current. The remedy is drying and cleaning, and a machine failing the index should be dried before any high-voltage test is applied.
