Abstract When an ac voltage is applied to a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film placed under a needle‐plane electrode system, there is a possibility of the formation of the space‐charge field in the vicinity of the needle electrode by electrons (or holes) injected from the needle electrode. In this paper we investigated the properties of the space charge, e.g., the total amount of trapped charge formed in the vicinity of the needle electrode by using electrical measurements of thermally stimulated current (TSC) and thermally stimulated surface potential (TSSP). From the investigation, it was concluded that a space‐charge field is formed in an LDPE film by the application of the ac voltage, and that the total amount of trapped charge by the application of the ac voltage is less than that by the application of the dc voltage, etc. Finally, on the basis of the present experimental results, we studied the space‐charge effect on the ac treeing mechanism.
