Abstract :
In this paper, various experimental results are described of bow-tie trees obtained in steam-cured crosslinked polyethylene which contains 103 to 105voids/mm3. The growth of bow-tie trees depends upon the applied voltage and the frequency. Void size has a great influence on the growth of bow-tie trees.
