The effect of an electric field on the ac electrical treeing in various epoxy/reactive diluent systems was studied in a needle-plate electrode geometry. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) type epoxy was used as a base resin, and 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDGE) or polyglycol (PG) as a reactive diluent was introduced to the DGEBA system, in order to decrease the viscosity of the DGEBA epoxy system. BDGE was acted as a chain extender, and PG acted as a flexibilizer, after the curing reaction. To measure the treeing initiation time and the propagation rate, three constant alternating currents (ac) of 10, 13 and 15 kV/4.2 mm (60 Hz) were applied to the specimen, in a needle-plate electrode arrangement, at $30^{\circ}C$ of insulating oil bath. When 10 kV/4.2 mm (60 Hz) was applied, the treeing initiation time and the propagation rate in the DGEBA system were 356 min and $1.10{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, respectively, those in the DGEBA/BDGE system were 150 min and $1.14{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, respectively. Those in the DGEBA/PG system were 469 min and $1.05{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, respectively. As 15 kV/4.2 mm (60 Hz) was applied, the propagation rate in the DGEBA system was $5.41{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min, and that in the DGEBA/PG system was $1.42{\times}10^{-3}$ mm/min. These values meant that PG could be used as a reactive diluent in the DGEBA system, without the deterioration of the insulation breakdown property.

In order to investigate the effect of inorganic dielectric fine particle mixed in Low Density Polyethylene on the deterioration by treeing, a comparative study for initiation and development of the tree has been carried out between the pure thin film specimen and the same geometrical specimen mixed with a constant weight percent by a defiend particle size of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ and SiO$_{2}$, having larger dielectric constants than that of the base material. According to the results, it has been observed that as increasing dielectric constant, the initiation of tree is expedited, however, the development of the tree reached at the surface of filler particles shows the suppressive trends. From these facts, a reasonable interpretation may be possible by considering the effect of intensified electrical field around the tip in the presence of filler particles, that the initiation and the development of tree are a mechanical break down process caused by Maxwell stress due to the concentration of electrical field at the tip. This suppressive effect is specifically suggestive for the reason that a discharge route must be constructed around the particle surface because of the intensified field strength near filler, which, in turn, reduces the geometrical curvature of the tip so that the local intensity of electrical field can be relaxed. Further more an experimental evidence for this assumption was able to observe in this investigation.

Measurements of AE signals caused by partial discharges were performed by using an ultrasonic measurement technique to diagonise the electrical treeing deterioration in XLPE cable. We also examined the partial discharge magnitude and AE signals(peak-to-peak) with the increase of the deterioration time. From these results, it was found that AE signal due to partial discharge can be greatly detected at the peak value of positive polarities prior to the breakdown voltages, and the magnitude of AE signals was closely related to the current pulses by the increase of deterioration, and it appeared that AE signals(peak-to-peak) was proportional to partial discharge magnitude. Attenuation and time-delaying characteristics of ultrasonic signals propagated in various polymers sample by using ultrasonic oscillation and receiving systems are also reported as a basic data of ultrasonic measurements in XLPE cable.

The object of this project is to manifest the mechanism of deterioration phenomena for dielectrics causing corona discharge and applies it for determine the standard corona detection technique. As the results, we observed that corona discharges may occur more strongly around cylindrical shape electrode in air than hemisphere shape electrode in vacuum, so that it depends on effects such as shape of the electrode, moisture, surface coditions, etc. According to observed the deterioration of dielectrics takes place in following stages. At first the attacked surface by an electron avalanche is uniformly eroded; then pits are formed; after that sharp channels are formed which lead to break-down as a treeing. The test are accelerated with higher frequencies by the cylindrical bar shape electrode in the pulse stright detection method more sensitive than Lissajous patterns. Lissajous patterns detection method is simple but usually insensitive and has disadvantage that the magnitude of the individual discharge is not measured.

The fractal characteristics of AC electrical tree grown in DGEBA/MDA/ SN/HQ system was investigated. As the applied voltage decreased, tree initiated after retardation. All the trees were fractals in spite of tile applied voltage. Fractal dimension increased with tree length. When the tree grew slowly, the fractal dimension or tile degree of treeing deterioration increased.

In this paper, efficiency estimation of toxicity fee fire resistance cable experiments was measured smoke density of toxicity free fire resistance polyolefin insulation material and electric field dependence of tree shape in low density polyethylene (LDPE). One of the most serious causes of failure in high-voltage cables, can be an electrical discharge across an internal gab or void in the insulating material. Treeing due to partial discharge is one of the main causes of breakdown in 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 and research of the fire resistance character has become important. First, we have studied on electric field dependence of tree shape in LDPE about treeing phenomena occurring on the high electrical field. Second, the measurement method is the attenuation quantity of irradiation by smoke accumulating with in a closed chamber due to non-flaming heat decomposition and flaming combustion. A main cause of fire-growth and generating toxic gas when, it bums, should be dealt with great care in life. safety design. The fire gases were occurred carbon monoxide and decomposition than in polyolefin due to incomplete combustion of PVC, which has high content of carbon in chemical compound.

Automatic detection system to detect acoustic emission pulse and fractal dimension were developed, to observe tree deterioration phenomena in LDPE. The purpose of our work are to use acoustic emission system and fractal dimension and to investigate the treeing phenomena in polymeric insulation under applied AC voltage 11[kV] with an artificial needle-shaped void(1.5[mm]) using the above system. We analyzed and phase angle-acoustic emission pulse amplitude-deterioration time ($\Phi$-AEA-t) pattern and phase angle-acoustic emission pulse number-deterioration time($\Phi$-AEN-t) pattern using statistical operators such as skewness, fractal dimension. In this paper show that the correlation of $\Phi$-AEA-t, $\Phi$-AEN-t, fractal dimension using regression analysis by the method of least squares can be used to predict the breakdown just before the breakdown occurs.
