Y-type insulator string has advantages of external insulation and reduction of corridor width. This paper establishes a 3D finite element model of Y-type composite insulator string of 1000 kV AC double-circuit transmission line, including tower, insulator, grading rings, phase conductors and other hardware fittings, the model is used to calculate electric field distribution of composite insulator and grading ring. Then the parameters of grading ring are optimized based on the electric field results. According to the results, the optimum parameters of the racetrack grading ring are R=700 mm, r=120 mm, H=200 mm. The results can give a reference for design of UHV AC Y-type insulator string.
