Abstract :
Insulation failure is a serious economic and technical problem especially in the power industry. Corona discharge phenomena, when present, appear to play an important role in the degradation of solid insulating materials. Thus the analysis of changes resulting from such degradation processes may lead to an understanding of insulation breakdown mechanisms and a more accurate determination of insulation life time
