Insulation resistance
The ratio of the applied Voltage to the total current between two electrodes in contact with a specific insulator. A measure of the resistance to a DC current flow through the capacitor under steady state conditions. Values for film and ceramic capacitors are usually expressed in megohm-microfarads for a given design and dielectric. The actual resistance of the capacitor is obtained by dividing the megohm-microfarads by the capacitance.
