Insulation resistance
Insulating materials have a very high resistance to the flow of electrical current. It is inversely proportional to the cable length. The insulation resistance is a measure of the quality of the insulating material between two conductors or between a conductor and the shielding. The insulation material essentially determines the insulation resistance. It is not so much the insulation thickness that is decisive, but the material properties. The insulation resistance depends on the length. It is specified in "c". Its values should be 1 GOhm/km. The insulation resistance therefore decreases over longer distances.
