Also, a lot of people have said that under 1.5 is a serious condition. What are your thoughts?
The table below shows the minimum IEEE 43-2013 PI ratings.
DAR PI Insulation Condition
<1.25 1.0-2.0 Questionable
1.25-1.6 2.0-4.0 Good
>1.6 >4.0 Excellent
The table is not showing correctly when I post, so the first set of numbers is DAR, the second PI and the third the condition.
