The invention relates to a photothermal and electrothermal 
hybrid DC anti-
icing composite insulator which comprises a hardware end, a 
voltage equalizing device, a core rod, a sheath and an umbrella skirt. The umbrella skirt comprises combination of two or more of a 
silicone rubber layer, a photothermal layer and a 
semiconductor layer. The umbrella skirt is composed of the 
silicone rubber layer, the photothermal layer and the 
semiconductor layer. The photothermal layer is arranged on the upper surface, the 
silicone rubber layer is arranged in the middle and the 
semiconductor layer is arranged on the lower surface; or the umbrella skirt is composed of the photothermal layer and the 
silicone rubber layer, and the photothermal layer is arranged on the upper surface and the 
silicone rubber layer is arranged on the lower layer. The photothermal layer is prepared by mixing inorganic 
metal oxide with 
silicone rubber or RTV 
coating. The semiconductor layer is prepared by mixing conductive 
graphite micropowder with silicone rubber or RTV 
coating. The unique hydrophobic mobility of the silicone rubber layer can be migrated to the surface of the photothermal layer so that the insulator has excellent anti-
pollution flashover capability, reduces the 
field strength at the 
high voltage end of the insulator and delays the aging of the insulator. In the ice and 
snow weather in winter, the photothermal layer and the semiconductor layer can effectively melt ice and prevent ice flash accidents through the breaking effect during 
icing.
