Tension insulator string is one of the important components of transmission lines and it needs to have enough mechanical strength to transfer the load between conductors and towers. However, due to the large size of the tension insulator strings, it is usually impossible to carry out the true type experiments. In this paper, the dimensional analysis was adopted to establish the mapping scale models of typical tension strings, namely 8N42-50100-55P at first. Then, the load scaling ratios of three typical tension insulator strings were obtained based on the results of the ice shedding calculation on an actual UHVDC transmission lines. Finally, the dynamic experiments of the scale tension insulator strings were carried out to access the feasible of technical route and to provide a technical support for the following research.
