...primary cause of cables breaking down in service is due to the fact that small voids or air spaces are formed within the paper insulation. With present methods of manufacture, these voids appear to be inevitable. When such voids form, a minute electric discharge takes place within the void; that is, small electric arcs form, and the molecules of air find themselves in an electric field which causes them to attain high velocities. This effect is called ionization. The ions then impinge on the paper and oil, and have the effect of a rapid and continual bombardment. They not only...
