“…This electric field calculated is very close to the value 2000 kV/mm given in [16] at similar condition. This static electric field at the needle tip is several times the intrinsic DC breakdown strength of XLPE material, which is estimated to be more than 400 kV/mm [17][18]. The only explanation for this extremely high field is the homo space charges injected from the needle electrode and accumulated around, causing field moderation near the needle tip.…”

Electrical tree initiation behavior of XLPE cable insulation was investigated by application of DC voltage, impulse voltage, repetitive DC voltage, and impulse voltage after DC prestressing. Treeing test samples are made of XLPE specimens with a pin-plane electrode system. The needle inserted has a tip radius of 5 μm and a pinpoint angle of 30 °, and the pin-plane distance is 2 mm. No trees appeared when DC voltage up to 70 kV or -60 kV was applied on the samples continuously or repetitively. Impulse voltage with or without DC prestressing could initiate an electrical tree. The tree initiation ratio increased due to higher impulse voltage, increased DC prestress level and shorter rest time between DC prestress and impulse voltage. The measured initial tree length showed a proportional relation with the impulse magnitude, whereas it was almost independent of DC prestress level and the rest time. The observations are explained by the injection, accumulation, dissipation, trapping and detrapping of space charges in the region around the needle tip.
