I will assume that your question is in reference to CT and transformer polarity.
In the case of a CT (Current Transformer) they have to be installed in the correct direction for proper metering. The polarity check is used to verify that they are installed correctly and that the polarity marks are correct (if the CT has them).
In the case of a transformer there are two types of polarity, additive and subtractive. If you are paralleling Transformers you have to ensure that they are the same type polarity in addition to other attributes.
Hope this helps.
Alternative AnswerIn a new electrical installation, a polarity test is conducted to ensure that socket outlet terminals are correctly wired (line really is line, neutral really is neutral, and the protective conductor (earth/ground) really is protective conductor. It's also important, for example, that the centre pin on an Edison Screw lampholder is connected to line, and not to neutral.

How do you test polarity with a multimeter?
A: To begin with the leads polarity of the meter must be ascertain. Assuming the red is positive voltage then that lead will have a positive potential to check a diode connect the red lead to the anode and the black to the cathode and it should read some Resistance
What is the equipment required to do a CT polarity test?
You shouldn't need to perform a polarity test on a CT, as its terminals are normally identified with polarity markings.
How do you test polarity on a boiler?
To test polarity on a boiler set the meter to loop, touch the two leads together, and it will buzz or read as "000". This will show you the polarity as well as test for continuity.
