High-voltage bushings are an important part of transformers. Resin-impregnated fiber bushings have been popularly used in recent years because of their flame-retardant and explosion-proof characteristics, but there is insufficient research on the optimal design of their structural parameters. A finite element model of resin- impregnated fiber bushing of 1 100 kV alternating current transformer was built based on the primary structural parameters. The electric field distribution of the capacitor core and the grading shield was analyzed, the influence of the structural dimensions of the grading shield on its maximum electric field intensity was studied, and a design scheme of the capacitor core and grading shield of the bushing was put forward considering the actual production process and work requirements. The results show that, compared with the primary scheme, the maximum electric field intensity at the end of the plate of the optimized capacitor is decreased by 16.6%, the maximum electric field intensity in the radial direction is decreased by 8.9%, and the number of layers of the plate is decreased by 9 layers. The maximum electric field intensity of the optimized grading shield is 7.725 kV/mm, and the structure of the grading shield is significantly reduced. The research results can be used to guide the structural design of resin- impregnated fiber bushings for 1 100 kV AC transformers.
