Abstract: The internal electric field distribution is a key factor to characterize the partial discharge and voltage resistance of current transformers (CTs), and the conical current transformer has a special structure with complex electric field distribution. Therefore, it is more necessary to study, analyze and optimize the electric field distribution of CTs in the design process. In this paper, a new type of current transformer is taken as the research object. A simulation model is established by using finite element software, and the electric field distribution under the test of power-frequency withstand voltage is investigated. Then, a scheme is proposed, and the response surface is used to optimize the scheme. Experimental verification is conducted to validate the results. In this study, the finite element combined design of experiment approach can serve as a rapid and efficient approach for identifying an optimal solution to minimize the electric field strength within a current transformer.
