Popis: This paper presents the electrical treeing behavior in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) nanocomposites with the addition of silica nanofiller. The concentration of silica nanofiller in XLPE was varied from 0, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%. The needle plate electrodes were used to investigate the electrical treeing. The structure and the propagation length of electrical tree growth were investigated after 30 min of tree inception voltage. The result of electrical treeing was compared between pure XLPE and XLPE/Silica. The result shows the tree inception voltage increases with the increasing of nanofiller concentration. The results also revealed that the bush type tree was formed in all concentrations.
