The inhibiting effects of electrical treeing and insulation properties of LDPE contained with treeing inhibitors was studied under radiation environment. Barbituric acid and its derivatives were selected as treeing inhibitors. The inception voltage and growth of tree, AC breakdown strength, volume resistivity, high frequency capacitance, and dissipation factor were observed as a function of dose(up to 1000 kGy). And also, measurements of thermo-luminescence(TL), and gel content were carried out. Crosslinked low density polyethylene(XLPE) contained with treeing inhibitors shows better insulation characteristics such as electrical tree propagation, AC breakdown strength, and volume resistivity than those of pure LDPE. The most effective treeing inhibitor was found on the barbituric acid contained XLPE.

The effectiveness of treeing resistance in low density polyethylene containing azocompounds were investigated under radiation environments. 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1-naphthol and 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) resorcinol were selected for treeing inhibitors. LDPE containing the additives were crosslinked with dicumyl peroxide, irradiated by $Co^{60}$ ${\gamma}$-ray in the presence of air at room temperature. Treeing inception voltage, AC breakdown strength measurements were carried out for electrical insulation characteristics, thermoluminescence and gel contents were analyzed as various irradiation doses also. LDPE with treeing inhibitors showed much better insulation characteristics than pure LDPE. It is interpreted that molecular structures, polar groups and the type of radicals connected on the benzene ring of the additives affected electrical characteristics. From the results, 4-(4-nitrophenylazo) resorcinol was the most effective upon the best treeing and radiation resistance.

Treeing inhibitors are added in XLPE matrix to investigate the effect on electrical properties of XLPE. The treeing inhibitors are barbituric acid, 4- (4-Nitrophenylazo) resorcinol and 4-(4-Nitrophenylazo) naphthol. Added amount of each treeing inhibitors were varied form 0phr to 2.0phr. In order to know the changes of electrical properties, break down strength, $tan{\delta}$, and ${\varepsilon}_r$ were measured. Experimental results showed that electrical properties of each sample was slightly changed by amount of additives.

Three kinds of treeing inhibitors are added to investigate the effect on electrical properties of XLPE. The treeing inhibitors are barbituric acid, 4- (4-Nitrophenylazo) resorcinol and 4- (4-Nitrophenylazo) naphthol. Added amount of each treeing inhibitors varied form 0phr to 2.0phr. In order to know the changes of electrical properties, break down strength, tan$\delta$, and $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ were measured. Experimental results showed that electrical properties of each sample was slightly changed by amount of additives.s.

we have investigated the effect of aromatic compounds and tree inception and growth in low density polyethylene, for AC voltage and Impulse voltage. 2kinds of aromatic compounds are selected. Each additive (m-cresol, aniline) was mixed in low density polyethylene. For AC voltage, 10wt% $\sim$ 15wt% m-cresol can be shown to be the effective inhibitor to tree initiation. But, For Impulse voltage, 10wt% $\sim$ 15wt% aniline is effective inhibitor to tree initiation.
