Dry-type transformers are more widely used in power grids in low-voltage distribution networks, but the correlation between the intrinsic properties of the main insulation materials of dry-type transformers and the degree of aging is still not clear. The activation energy is the energy barrier that the microscopic motion unit in the dielectric overcomes during the movement, and is the microscopic intrinsic reflection of the aging state of the insulation material. In order to study the relationship between the activation energy of epoxy resin for dry-type transformers and other characteristic characterization parameters and the degree of heat aging, the epoxy resin samples for dry-type transformers are subjected to heat aging at different temperatures to measure dielectric spectrum and electrical strength of the samples. The results show that with the increase of aging time, the interfacial polarization relaxation activation energy of the sample shows a decreasing-increasing-slightly decreasing-final increasing trend due to the increase of polar groups and free radicals during aging. And reduction will deepen or reduce the depth of the trap. As the aging time increases, the relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor of the sample show a decreasing-increasing-slightly decreasing-final increase trend, and at the same aging time in the late aging period, the higher the temperature, the higher the relative dielectric constant and the higher the dielectric loss factor, and the breakdown field strength shows an increase-decrease-slightly increase and final decrease trend as the aging time increases. As for the dielectric parameters and electric parameters, the higher the temperature, the more severe the aging of the sample. In this paper, it is found that the activation energy, relative dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and breakdown field strength have certain correlation with the aging time, and the relationship between the slow chemical reaction and the relaxation activation energy is established.
