Abstract :
Discusses the life expectancy of a unit of insulation subject to water treeing and its assessment. There are a number of ways in which this can be done with acceleration relative to rated operating conditions. One method consists of time to failure (breakdown) tests for a number of samples for each of several acceleration factors
