ABSTRACT
Use this document as a template with Microsoft Word 2013 or later. Keep in mind that
an abstract informs the reader on the content of the paper and is not an introduction to
the paper. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do not cite references in the abstract.
The abstract body copy must be in Times or Times New Roman, 10 pt., Bold.
Index Terms — corona, partial discharge (PD), energy dissipation, treeing, time-to-
failure, Weibull distribution
(words, unless proper nouns, are not capitalized; elements are not capitalized)
