As the purpose of the breakdown prediction of three degradation of insulating materials caused by partial discharge occurring at various defects in the polymer insulator itself and at the interfaces between electrodes and the insulating materials. Treeing due to partial discharge os one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials. Recently, the necessity of establishing the way to diagnoses the aging of insulation materials and to predict of insulation breakdown become improtant. The purpose of our work are to use acoustic emission System and fractal dimension and to investigated the treeing phenomena in polymeric insulation under appliec AC voltage 11[kV] with an artificial needleshaped void(1.5[mm]) using the above system.

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.

The acoustic emission automatic detection system is developed to observe tree deterioration phenomena. Applying an alternating voltage of 15(kVnns) toXLPE tree specimens, many pulses of small amplitude are detected when the bush type tree developes branch type and a few pulses of high amplitude prcxluced as branch type propagated to bush type tree. Therefore, it is known that pulses having small amplitude operates as a destructive factor. It is observed that the skewness of the amplitude and the number of average pulses as distribution tendency of three dimension are characteristic quantity of AE pulses. As the trajectory of skewness is farther from the origin on the S-plane, it is more likely to breakdown.

In this study, when AC voltage is applied to block type treeing specimen which is fabricated with polyethylene which dielectric characteristics is excellent, from initial tree to final breakdown, Using acoustic emission method. we take statistically on parameter, which is skewness. We experimented on quenching condition and illustrated skewness locus plane so that studied interrelation of life expectation and parameter.
