Technol. Appl. Sci. Res. VL - 4 IS - 4 SE - DO - 10.48084/etasr.468 UR - https://etasr.com/index.php/ETASR/article/view/468 SP - 662-668 AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Epoxy resin and mica sheets consist the essential insulation of rotating machine stator bars. Such an insulation, although very resistant to partial discharges, is subjected to considerable electrical stresses and consequently electrical trees may ensue. In this paper, an effort is &nbsp;made to simulate electrical tree propagation in multiple epoxy resin/mica sheets with the aid of Cellular Automata (CA). An attempt to compare the simulation results with experimental results is also made.</p> ER -
