Abstract: Aiming at the aging problem of shed and sheath of composite insulator, an aging detection method of silicone rubber material based on microwave transmission method is proposed. The artificial accelerated aging test of silicone rubber is carried out, and the microwave nondestructive testing platform is built to carry out the microwave nondestructive testing test of aging silicone rubber. The variation law of transmission parameter S21 of silicone rubber with different aging degrees is analyzed, and the aging detection mechanism of silicone rubber by microwave transmission method was revealed by numerical simulation. The test results show that after the aging of silicone rubber, due to the change of its dielectric properties, the amplitudes of S21 will change,and the aging degree of sillicone rubber can be identified by the value of ΔS21. The research is of great significance to the aging detection of composite insulators.
