Insulation of P.E insulated cable under the field of high-voltage will be breakdown ultimately due to the degradation process called 'Treeing' which is generated in the insulation, so long as any counter-measure suppressing or eliminating it could not be provided. In this paper as a counter-measure Dodecyl Alcohol is mixed with P.E and Treeing under the temperature variation has been observed. Results show that the larger weight ratio of Dodecyl Alcohol is stronger the effect of suppressing Tree ing in the range from room temperature to 40$^{\circ}C$ and generated Treeing has been soon eliminated and it never again generated.

In roder to investigate the influence of treeing on electric breakdown of solid organic insulator the initiation and growing mechanism of tree itself, and the correlation between corona discharge and treeing phenomena in solid orgainc insulating materials, several experiments were carried out by means of needle test on polymethyl-methacrylate. The obtained results showed that the existence of voids in specimen had important effects on initiation voltage of trees and, when the direct voltage was applied, the initiation voltage of trees increased by space charge effect. And also the stagnation phenomena due to the transfer of vacancy cluster or polymekr cage in specimen might beconsidered in process of growth of trees, and corona discharge seemed to be the pre-phenomena of treeing because trees were normally initiated by internal discharge in voids.

To measure treeing, visual measurement with an optical microscope has been used to explain breakdown mechanism by treeing in materials. The conventional direct visual method of tree deterioration observation is difficult to measure in short time processing, and impossible to analyze the deteriorated area by treeing, direction of tree growth, tree patterns etc. In this paper, we have developed a tree-measuring system using image processing for the tree growth, the area of deterioration, and other progresses of treeing. As experimental result, image processing is an effective alternative to direct visual observation method.

This paper is intended to analyze the characteristics of breakdown of polyethylene dielectrics, which was caused by A.C. voltage after impulse fatigue, by using weibull distribution. The impact of impulse fatigue upon the accurance and development of tree and the impact of void upon treeing are investigated. From the results of experiment, it is found that the life of polyethylene subjected to impulse voltage is shorter than that not subjected to impulse voltage. And in the case of void existence, it's life comes to be short remarkably, and the breakdown is almost concentrated on its initiation. From the results observed by the microscope, it is found that the treeing phenomena varies according as whether impulse voltage was applied to polyethylene before being applied to A.C. voltage and whether polyethylene has void or not.

The dielectric breakdown characteristics of DGEBA/MDA/SN system filled with $Al_2O_3$ under AC high electric field were investigated. As the filler content increased, the dielectric breakdown strength increased, but decreased at higher filler content than 5 phr. The probability of defects such as air bubbles, peel between filler and epoxy resin insulator, etc. increase proportionally to filler contents. Fillers blockade the treeing growth and relax the electric field at the tip of electrical tree and the treeing propagation rate decreases so that the strength showed higher strength at lower filler content than 5 phr.

Treeing inhibitors of barbituric acid derivatives effects on the electrical properties of crosslinked low density polyethylene under radiation environments were investigated. The electrical parameters for tree inception voltage, AC breakdown strength, volume resistivity, capacitance and dissipation factor at 1MHz and thermoluminescence, gel content measurements were discussed as a function of irradiated dosages. From the results, barbituric acid among the treeing inhibitors was shown the best treeing and radiation resistance.

This paper presents a statistical approach to analyze electrical tree inception voltage, electrical tree breakdown voltage and tree breakdown time of unsaturated polyester resin subjected to AC voltage. The aim of this work was to show that Weibull and lognormal distribution may not be the most suitable distributions for analysis of electrical treeing data. In this paper, an investigation of statistical distributions of electrical tree inception voltage, electrical tree breakdown voltage and breakdown time data was performed on 108 leaf-like specimen samples. Revelations from the test results showed that Johnson SB distribution is the best fit for electrical tree inception voltage and tree breakdown time data while electrical tree breakdown voltage data is best suited with Wakeby distribution. The fitting step was performed by means of Anderson-Darling (AD) Goodness-of-fit test (GOF). Based on the fitting results of tree inception voltage, tree breakdown time and tree breakdown voltage data, Johnson SB and Wakeby exhibit the lowest error value respectively compared to Weibull and lognormal.

This study aims at analyzing to treeing in the solid-solid interface which is insulation type of cable junction parts, the proceeding of tree-growth and electrical breakdown were research in the study. Interface was made artificially to detect how it influenced the insulating ability of the whole system, the specimen were XLPE generally used in cable. The interface conditions were divided into two parts. First condition being the one focused on the surface of interface, it was treated with sand paper (#80, #600, #1200). For the second condition, the pressure of interface was varied as the value of 1, 5, 10 [$kg/cm^2$]. Using above conditions, treeing and breakdown properties on tree-growth were respectively compared in details. As a result, breakdown time was shorter for the full range of supplied voltage in the case of interface existed in the joint than non-existed interface. In the case of existed interface, the interface which had high-interface pressure and painted with silicon insulating oil was the best in the aspect of breakdown characteristics.

This paper is measured partial discharge of low density polyethylene by using acoustic emission measuring method when the electrical tree grow its length in LDPE. Acoustic emission's pulses and its amplitudes of partial discharge are measured by acoustic emission measuring devices. Theorem of skewness are used for breakdown prediction of LDPE. So, it is found that the breakdown of LDPE could be predicted by its skewness's value. There are two kind of specimen of no void and specimen of artificial void, this one's electrical tree grows very faster than that one's.

Internal insulators give rise to partial discharge(PD), which cause local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Treeing due to PD is one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials and reduction of the insulation life. Therefore the necessity for establishing a method to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict the breakdown of insulation has become important. From this viewpoint, we have studied on Electric Field dependence of tree shape in Low Density Polyethylene about treeing phenomena occurring on the high electrical field. As the result, under the reasoning that the growing of tree supposing when the inner part of tree is either dielectrec or conductor has the intermediate characteristics between dielectrec and conductor, theoretically investicated results well according with the experimental results.
