Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) - UL 746

The voltage which causes tracking after 50 drops of 0.1% ammonium chloride solution have fallen on the material. The results of testing at 3 mm
thickness are considered representative of the material's performance in any thickness.

Tracking is an electrical breakdown on the surface of an insulating material. A large voltage difference gradually creates a conductive leakage path
across the surface of the material by forming a carbonized track.

Performance Level Categories (PLC) were introduced to avoid excessive implied precision and bias.
