Abstract: Insulators can achieve electrical insulation and mechanical fixation in substations, transmission and distribution lines. They often suffer from rain, snow, wind, sand, bird damage, foreign body adhesion and other violations when operating outdoors. In special cases, insulators also encounter the adhesion of conductive foreign bodies, in which graphite fiber conductive wire lap is one of the types of foreign body adhesion, it may cause tremendous damage to the normal operation of the insulator extremely if there are no pre-set protection measures. In this paper, the three-dimensional finite element simulation models of rod suspension composite insulator and disk suspension porcelain insulator were established. For constructive purposes, the distributions of electric field and temperature rising of insulator were simulated and calculated under multi-physical field thermoelectric coupling. Then, the external insulation performance of insulator with abnormal lapping and adhesion of graphite fiber was simulated and analyzed. According to the overlapping mode, attachment position and attachment degree of graphite fiber wire, the simulation calculation was carried out to study the variation of electric field distribution of insulator. Conclusively, the numerical value can reflect the degree of electric field distortion of insulator, so as to judge the external insulation performance of insulator under different conditions, and provide reference for the actual operation, maintenance and protection of insulator.
