  • Abstract
    Polymeric materials are gradually replacing naturally occurring substances for insulators. However their high electrical strength and good mechanical and thermal properties are degraded by the occurrence of water and electrical treeing. The article describes the nature of the forms of electrical treeing and reviews the theories of their formation, their inhibition and their detection
