Abstract :
The mechanism of electrical failures at power frequency is fairly well established and accepted. An analysis of the process helps to correlate the observed performance of cable insulation and to explain the underlying characteristics of the different types. It appears, as discussed in this article, that dielectric failures of any solid or quasi-solid body are of the same general character.
