With the increase of electric network voltage in power system, the internal discharge phenomenon of gas insulated substation (GIS) during operation often happens. In this paper, a 3-D simulation model of GIS with metal protrusion on basin-type insulator was utilized to study the effect of metal protrusion on the electric field distortion in GIS. It can be concluded from simulation results that the electric field increases with the height of metal protrusion when the radius is constant, while decrease with the increase of radius of metal protrusion. In addition, the metal protrusion near high voltage conductor lead to more severe electric field distortion than that near grounded enclosure. This work is of significance for the actual operation and maintenance of GISs in the power system.
