The invention relates to a configuration method of a high-
voltage transmission line insulator, belonging to the technical field of
transmission line insulation design of a power
system. The method comprises the steps as follows: firstly, a mapping table is established according to the existing experience or the corresponding standards, thereby estimating the
string length of the insulator to be selected, wherein the insulator is needed in line design; the insulator to be configured is chosen according to the
string length of the insulator in the mapping table and mechanical requirements; for a specific insulator to be configured, the
salt deposit density of the operated insulator is calculated and the
pollution flashover voltage is acquired by the data of the
pollution test; in consideration of revisions of a plurality of affection factors, the withstand
voltage of the insulator to be configured is calculated and the
string length of the insulator is determined according to the target
voltage of the line to be designed; and finally, the string length and the string length threshold in the mapping table are calibrated, thereby determining final insulation configuration result. The method realizes two functions of insulator type selecting and size configuration and directly uses the results of the
pollution test to calculate, so as to ensure the precision and reliability of insulator configuration to meet the requirements on line pollution outer insulation design.
