Abstract: With the development of UHV transmission technology, large-tonnage disc-type suspension porcelain insulators have been widely used. Insulators with cylindrical heads have the advantages of light weight and high strength compared with traditional insulators with conical heads. Cement is an important part of disc-type suspension porcelain insulators. The drying shrinkage of cement can lead to sliding between cement and porcelain. It can also transform the stress distribution of the porcelain, thus influencing the overall long-term mechanical performance of the insulators. In this paper, the effect of the shrinkage of cement on the stress distribution of porcelain insulators was studied by simulation. In addition, the effect of the drying shrinkage rates of cement on insulators with cylindrical and conical heads were compared. The simulation results show that cylindrical-head insulators can better resist the stress change caused by cement shrinkage than the conical-head insulators, which was beneficial to the long-term performance of the insulators. Based on the tensile stress of porcelain parts, the recommended range of the drying shrinkage rate of cement for insulators with cylindrical heads was presented. The research results are of practical value for the selection of cement.
