The impact of air gaps between a metallic needle tip and the polymer on electrical tree growth has been studied in low density polyethylene (LDPE). Gaps of $115\ \boldsymbol{\mu} \mathbf{m},\ 212\ \boldsymbol{\mu} \mathbf{m}$ and $1037 \boldsymbol{\mu} \mathbf{m}$ have been experimentally investigated. Corona discharges of different types were measured within those air gaps. Accelerated treeing to breakdown was found in the sample with a $115\ \boldsymbol{\mu} \mathbf{m}$ air gap. In this case the streamer coronas were slightly higher in magnitude than the maximum partial discharge (PD) during the tree growth in the no-gap sample. In contrast, lower corona discharge magnitudes were associated with larger air gaps, and electrical trees gradually stopped propagating to the counter electrodes and developed into pine-branch tree structures. This work highlights the differences between electrical trees that effectively grew from a metallic electrode in direct contact with the polymer and a point of corona source.
