WANG Jiancheng, XIE Wengang, GONG Ruilei, et al. Design of 550 kV GIL Three Post Insulator[J]. High voltageapparatus, 2018, 54(5): 114-118. DOI: 10.13296/j.1001-1609.hva.2018.05.018.
The three post insulator is the core component of GIL. It is widely used in the GIL. The design of the threepost insulator with high performance and high reliability is the basis for the development of 550 kV EHV GIL prod-ucts. In this paper
based on the design experience of GIS
the basic principles of insulation strength and mechani-cal strength of three post insulators are summarized. On the foundation of this
a three post insulator structure is de-signed
and the insulation and mechanical properties of it are analyzed and simulated applying the finite elementmethod and verified by experiments. The results show that the designed three post insulators fully comply with the re-quirements of 550 kV GIL and verify the correctness of the design principles and simulation.
