  • Abstract
    The ageing behaviour is studied of samples of epoxy resin which contain an air filled void. Therefore ageing tests up to 2500 h were carried out. Weibull statistics are used for the evaluation. The measured distributions appeared to be bimodal. The early breakdowns are assumed to be caused by material defects. The electric life of the test samples has been found to be determined by some kind of electric ageing. The role of partial discharges in ageing is discussed
