Water treeing is recognized as a major form of deterioration in distribution class polymeric high-voltage cables. A recent workshop addressed the present understanding of various aspects of cable insulation deterioration and assessed the progress achieved during the last five years. Means of improving material and cable testing, extending cable life, and perfecting diagnostic tests were also discussed; and areas requiring study were identified.
