This invention provides a method for optimizing the structure of
lightning protection insulators based on surface
electric field characteristics, comprising: S1. Modeling the target
lightning protection insulator using Solidworks
software, wherein the
size ratio of the established target
lightning protection insulator model to the actual target lightning protection insulator is 1:1; S2. Meshing the target lightning protection insulator model using a local refinement
algorithm; S3. Determining the input parameters of the target lightning protection insulator, including rated

metal electrode material,
silicone shed material, and
zinc oxide valve plate material; S4. Inputting the input parameters of the target lightning protection insulator into the finite element
electric field calculation model to calculate indices, including the maximum
electric field E along the surface of the insulation section. 1max The maximum electric field E on the surface of the disc
electrode 2max The maximum electric field E on the surface of the spherical
electrode 3max And determine the coefficient of electric field non-uniformity ξ along the surface of the insulation section. E And the ratio R1 of the maximum electric field value along the surface of the protective electrode and the insulation section; S5. Determine the comprehensive index β1; S6. Determine whether the comprehensive index β1 meets the set index threshold. If so, manufacture according to the predetermined size of the current target insulator. Otherwise, adjust the weight of each index in the comprehensive index β1 calculation model, and adjust the
diameter of the spherical electrode, the
diameter of the disc electrode, the distance of the protective gap and the extension length of the shed, and return to step S1.
