This paper presents investigation on the propagation of electrical treeing in silicone rubber samples filled with Montmorillonite (MMT) and Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoclays as fillers for electrical tree inihibition. Treeing experiments were conducted by applying ac voltage with increasing ra...
