breakdown build cause caused causing charges dc former input method problem testing thus ultimately using void within
A problem with the former method of testing is that it caused a treeing effect, which is a void in insulation. Charges that build up within these voids using the DC input method of testing would want to dissipate to ground, thus causing a breakdown in the cable's insulation, which would ultimately cause a failure.
