                         Drying curve for motor windings.

                         Figs. 7.5.1 and 7.5.2 are typical for class B insulation. Where the PI is low because of
                         dirt or moisture contamination, it can be significantly improved by cleaning and dry-
                         ing. Drying curves are shown in Fig. 7.5.2, and such curves can be used to indicate
                         the drying time required.
