The invention discloses a fault equivalent design method for an
electrode at a
bushing voltage-sharing ball and an insulation structure thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: building a fault
equivalent model: providing an external
voltage-sharing ball which is composed of a first hemisphere and a second hemisphere, forming a counter bore in the first hemisphere,
welding an aluminum cylinder on the second hemisphere, and arranging a watchband contact finger, the first hemisphere and the second hemisphere can be buckled outside the sleeve
voltage-sharing ball and are connected through the watchband contact fingers and the counter bores; the outer surface of the external voltage-sharing ball is coated with an
epoxy resin layer so as to weaken the
corona of the external voltage-sharing ball; and fault
equivalent model simulation: simulating a suspended potential
discharge fault by arranging a suspended
electrode on the external voltage-sharing ball, or simulating a water inlet damp fault of the wire outlet device by arranging an insulating special-shaped piece and an insulating cylinder outside the external voltage-sharing ball and injecting polluted water. The device has the advantages of being typical in structure, convenient to install, low in cost, obvious in
discharge characteristic and the like, and can be used for fault monitoring, analysis and judgment of ultrahigh-voltage and extra-high-voltage alternating-current and direct-current outgoing line devices.
