  • Abstract
    A relatively broad based investigation into treeing phenomena is described, including the results of needle tests, microscopic examination of long lengths of cable removed from service measurement of the moisture from service, measurement of the moisture permeability of insulations and microscopic inspection of moisture accelerated deterioration produced in the laboratory.
