Abstract :
2-D projections of electrical tree patterns in XLPE as a function of time and AC voltage are presented. A comparison is made with structures computed using the stochastic growth model in euclidean dimension d=2. Multifractal dimensions are calculated from digitized electrical tree structures and computed structures
