The results of the analysis of leakage currents as a function of time in samples of polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramics solid solutions of lead titanate-zirconate with sodium and bismuth impurities under the condition of applying a constant electric field are presented. We considered batches of samples that were stored in different conditions, which led to the formation of two batches - standard and defective. The samples of the standard and defective batches differed in values of the dielectric loss tangent by several times, while other electrophysical parameters practically did not differ. To measure the patterns of current fluctuations with time in the sample, a modernized Mertz scheme was used. The electric field was changed stepwise on the sample. Current fluctuations at a constant voltage across the sample were measured during the establishment of a constant leakage current and were considered as a time series, allowing only a statistical description. Changes in the form of the dependence of the leakage current on time are determined with an increase in the electric field strength on samples with different values of the loss tangent. The exponential decline is accompanied by random jumps in the magnitude of the leakage current. It is assumed that at a higher voltage, the state of the domain regions stabilizes, resulting in current leakage under a depolarizing field, since the domain system retains its more rigid configuration.
