| Abstract | ||||
| Water treeing is still now one of the main causes of cable deterioration and so, it is widely known that water treeing is the responsible for the reduction of the service life of polymeric cables. This paper has been studied the effects of adding various amounts of nanoparticles as ZnO, and Al2O3 on water treeing characteristics in XLPE industrial materials. This research has focused on studying development of the nano-composite materials performance with water tree growth resistance superior to the unfilled matrix, and has stressed particularly the effect of filler volume fraction on the water tree length and via various frequencies. Finally, this research aims to present a systematic and comparative study about the effect of adding nanoparticles to change dielectric insulation properties, and to understand the role effect of these nanoparticles in the industrial insulation materials which can make significant improvement in water tree resistance, life-time of insulation and decreasing the water tree length in the industrial insulation materials. | ||||
