About the Significance of Peroxide Decomposition Products in Xlpe Cable Insulations

This investigation is concerned with voltage stabilizing effects of peroxide decomposition products, measured by electrical treeing resistance. Trees are filled with a liquid, consisting of decomposition products. These details and the relationship to the treeing phenomenon are described and explained. The treeing resistance efficiency of individual substances and their reliability over a prolonged period of time in EHV insulation is pointed out.
