The long-term safe and stable operation of oil-impregnated paper (OIP) bushings is of great significance to the operation of power systems. With the growth of OIP bushing, its internal insulation will gradually decay. Aramid insulation paper has excellent thermal aging characteristics and its insulation performance can be improved by using nano-modification technology. In this paper, the nano-SiO2 particles were used as the modified additives, and the modified aramid insulation paper was prepared through four steps: ultrasonic stirring, fiber dissociation, paper sample copying and superheated calendering. The microscopic physical morphology and chemical components of the insulation specimens before and after modification were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and an OIP bushing model based on the modified aramid insulation paper was constructed and its electric field distribution was analyzed. The simulation results show that the use of SiO2-modified aramid insulation paper can improve the electric field distribution of OIP bushings and increase the operating life of power transformers.
