  "term": "CTI",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An abbreviation for Comparative Tracking Index, a measure of the resistance of an insulating material to electrical breakdown when exposed to tracking, which is the formation of conductive paths on its surface due to electrical stress and contamination. It is determined by applying a voltage across the material's surface while dripping an electrolyte solution. A higher CTI value indicates better resistance to tracking, with values typically ranging from 0 to 600 volts.",
