Abstract :
UL 1950 is a standard for information technology equipment that includes a special requirement for insulating materials called the Comparative Tracking Index or CTI. The authors discuss how CTI is measured, the implications of CTI ratings for insulating materials, and the results of CTI testing on selected PSA insulating tapes
