Errors in high resistance measurements
When you are measuring large resistances, significant errors can occur due to
insulation resistance and surface cleanliness. You should take the necessary
precautions to maintain a "clean" high-resistance system. Test leads and fixtures
are susceptible to leakage due to moisture absorption in insulating materials and
"dirty" surface films. Nylon and PVC are relatively poor insulators (10
compared to Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulators (10
nylon or PVC insulators can easily contribute a 0.1% error when measuring a
