Discussions on this paper are related to the effects of organic materials to treeing phenomena of low density polyethylene. As additives, 11 kinds of organic compounds are selected by considering the respective features such as melting point, boiling point, electron affinity as well as molecular structure, and then the specimens of low density polyethylene are prepared by blending with 10wt% of the selected additives. For the comparison of effectiveness of treeing resistance and interpretation of the mechanism of compounds as treeing retardants, several investigations such as the tree acceleration test, the prestressed test and the measurement of internally occurred partial discharge are carried out. As the results, meta-Cresol is regard as the most effective retardant among those, and it is supposed that this aromatic compound to be comprised of radical having large electron affinity has strong capability to accept energetic electron to prevent or delay the growth of discharge streamer. Furthermore, by activating partial discharge at the wall of tree pit through the function of trapped electron at this material, the gas pressure in the pit is increased up to prevent the growth of streamer.

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.

본 논문은 새롭게 초음파 분산기법을 이용하여 제조된 나노콤포지트 와 원형에폭시 수지에 대한 전기적 특성인 트리현상의 여러특성을 연구하였다. 나노필러인 Layered Silicate Particles가 에폭시수지 중에 Power Ultrasonic으로 분산된 나노콤포지트를 제조하였다. 충진된 혼합물에서 나노입자의 영향을 조사하기위해 열적, 구조적 특성을 연구하였고, 장시간 절연파괴 특성을 조사하기위해 침대평판 전극으로 원형에폭시수지와 나노콤포지트와 비교 측정하였다. 연구는 에폭시원형수지에 대한 인가전압레벌(교류 10, 15, 20kV)의 변화와 온도변화에 대한 (30,90,$130^{\circ}C$)의 트리특성을 연구하였다. 모든 전압레벨에서는 일정전압까지 1kV/s 로 승압 후 일정하게 인가되었고, 파괴에 이를 때까지 측정한 결과 10kV, 15Kv, 20KV의 경우 1042,75,488분후에 파괴에 이르렀다. 그러나 트리진행속도는 인가전압이 높을수록 빠르게 진행하였다. 온도 변화에 대한 트리특성으로서 15kV인가 후 파괴에 이르는 시간은 30,90,$130^{\circ}C$의 경우 75.3, 970, 226분으로 $90^{\circ}C$의 경우 절연성능이 가장 우수하였고, 트리진전속도는 $30^{\circ}C,130^{\circ}C,90^{\circ}C$ 순으로 나타났다. 이는 트리진전으로 파괴에 이르는 시간과 속도는 트리형태에 지배적으로 영향을 맡고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 나노콤포지트 트리의 경우 15kV인가시 10902에 파괴에 이르렀고, 트리진전속도는 0.000729mm/min으로 원형에 비하여 53.36배의 트리진전시간이 느리고, 파괴시간은 145배 오래 견디는 절연내력을 측정할 수 있었다.

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 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.

Internal voids in insulators give rise to partial discharge, which causes a local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Recently, the necessity of establishing the way to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict of insulation breakdown become important. The purpose of our work are to investigate the treeing phenomena with an artificial needle shaped void by the charge of discharge and acoustic emission pulse in each phase angle area at the same time. We analyzed the .PHI.-QA-t pattern and .PHI.-AEA-t pattern using statistic operators such as pulse magnitude, pulse number, skewness, kurtosis. Therefore, the relation between the charge of discharge and acoustic emission pulse will be helpful to predict the breakdown just before the breakdown occur.

The purpose of our work are to investigate the treeing phenomena with a artificial needle shape void by the charge of partial discharge and acoustic emission pulse in each phase angle area at the same time. We have analyzed the ${\Phi}-Q-n$ pattern and the insulation diagnosis of the samples using statistic operators such as charge magnitude and A.E pulse factor, skweness, kurtosis, G,C. Therefore, the relation between the charge of partial discharge and A.E pulse will be helpful and efficient to predict the breakdown just before the breakdown occure.

The effects of amino silane coupling agent on the AC electrical treeing and breakdown behaviors in an epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) were examined in needle-plate electrode geometry. A layered silicate was exfoliated in an epoxy base resin by using our AC electric field apparatus. To measure the tree initiation and propagation and the breakdown rate, an alternating current (AC) of 10 kV (60 Hz) was applied to the specimen in needle-plate electrode arrangement with a $30^{\circ}C$ insulating oil bath. In the epoxy/amino silane system, the tree initiation time was 11.5 times higher and the breakdown time was 17.9 times higher than those of the neat epoxy resin. The tree initiation time in the epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) system with the amino silane was 2.0 times higher, and the breakdown time was 1.5 times higher than those of the epoxy/layered silicate (1 wt%) system.

This paper describes a study of electrical tree growth in DGEBA/MDA/SN system subjected to ac high electric field. The dielectric breakdown process, which consists of tree initiation, tree propagation and the complete puncture of the system was investigated. Dielectric breakdown always initiated from the needle tip where the electric field reinforcement is the highest. Higher temperature and voltage accelerated the tree growth and reduced the time to breakdown.
