In this paper, a system for measuring of treeing degradation in organic dielectric material by using image processing technics, is discussed. Traditionally, treeing is measured by visual method. It made difficulty to understanding for features and changes in the configlEation of the tree growth. Using image processing system, it is made to describe the characters of the tree growth, specially length of tree and area of treeing degradation. From this image processing and visual measurement, the similar results were made, an automatic measurement system was made for configuration of the tree growth.

In this paper, a system to measure treeing degradation phenomena in organic insulating materials, using an image sensor, is discussed. Using an image processing technique, tree features immediately after tree initiation as well as changes in the configuration of the tree were measured. which up to now have been extremely difficult to observe by conventional visual methods. As a result, it was possible to record the image of tree propagation immediately after its first appearance, and to describe the specific characteristics of tree growth in terms of the length, the degraded area and the sequential images.

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.

XLPE is occasionally happened to deteriorate cable insulation characteristics. It is happened to do a breakdown state by the degradation of electrical characteristic and electrical breakdown strength. I prepared TR-XLPE (Tree-Retardant XLPE) as adding various additives to prevent its states. Various additives are treeing retardants, anti-oxidants. Treeing retardants three kinds of aromatic compounds as adding each additive. Anti-oxidants use quinone compound and cresol compound as adding each additive. In order to observe each electrical characteristics, I measured breakdown strength, relative dielectric constant$({\varepsilon}_r)$, dielectric loss tangent$(tan{\delta})$. TR-XLPE specimens as adding treeing retardants and anti-oxidants enhance breakdown strength, ${\varepsilon}_r$, $tan{\delta}$ than pure XLPE.

Electrical treeing occurrence is caused by some defect in solid insulator. Those are accompany the PD(partial discharge) occurrence. And lifetime of the insulator is affected by PD. So, detection of electrical treeing is important thing as this view. Especially, detection of the end treeing is more important and have meaning for industrial engineering because concerned with maintenance and replacement of equipment. In this paper, evaluation of treeing process were studied and PCA(principle component analysis)-LDA(linear discriminant analysis) as classification method were used. The result is present the good recognition.

Treeing due to partial discharge(PD) is one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials and reduction of tile 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, our studies diagnose insulation degradation using the method of computer sensing system, which has the advantages of PD and acoustic emission(AE) sensing system. To use advantages of these two methods can be used effectively to search for treeing location and PD in some materials. In analysis method of degradation. using statically operator such as the center of gravity (G). the gradient of the discharge distribution(C), we have analyzed far tole prediction of life which we can be obtained the time, occurred of many pulse of small discharge amplitude.

Treeing has a profit to observe processing electrical breakdown because it gives degradation steps of insulation material by optical method. But, reappearance properly of treeing is not so good and precise quantization of tree growth is not so easy because tree Patterns are very complicate. The study on tree growth using image processing is predicted to precision of tree degradation and possible to quality measurement of tree pattern. In this paper, degradation steps are analyzed by image processing, therefore precision and realiability of tree growth are increased. Also, processing of tree degradation is quantized by fractal.

For the observation of treeing, a visual measurement with an optical microscope has been used to explain breakdown mechanism in high-voltage systems. The conventional directed visual method of tree aging observation is difficult to measure in short time processing, and it is impossible to analyze on tree degradation area, progressed direction, tree pattern, etc. By using an image processing technique, the tree features which appear immediately after the tree initiation as well as changes in the configuration of the tree can be easily measured and observed than using the conventional visual methods. In this paper, we have developed a tree observating system by using image processing for tree growth, degradation area and other treeing progress. As an experimental result, it can be concluded that the image processing method is a more effective alternative than directed visual observation method. As a matter of fact, it is possible to record the image of tree propagation immediately after its first appearance and explain the characteristics of tree growth froth the computer processing image.

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.
