Electrical tree is recognized as one of the pre-breakdown phenomena that occurs in high
voltage insulation material. In addition, under high divergent field, the electrical tree grows …

In case of medium voltage cables, the main cause of the insulation breakdown is water
treeing by referring to the report of national power utility of Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional …

Due to its applications in high voltage insulation, a thorough understanding of the chemical
reactions that occur during electrical ageing in polymers is needed. A confocal Raman …

Electrical tree phenomenon commonly occurred in solid insulator material resulting from the
inconsistency of stresses during the manufacturing process. The treeing phenomenon will …

Epoxy resin is a kind of polymer which has advantages such as good thermal
characteristics, excellent adhesion, good water repellent and resistance to pollution. During …

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and nanosilica (SiO2) composites may offer many
improved mechanical as well as electrical performance compared to a virgin LDPE. This …

Polymeric material such as low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been used for decades as
insulating material. Any polymeric material will experience degradation after prolonged …

Thanks to the development of nanotechnology, epoxy nanocomposites have been expected
to be potential candidates to replace the base resin, due to their superior properties …

Water tree is a process that causes degradation of insulation performance and ageing of
Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) underground cables. It is known as one of the major …

This paper discusses the effects of nanofiller on electrical treeing growth in polymer
nanocomposites. The polymer nanocomposite consists of epoxy resin as the base polymer …
