The temperature properties of real-type direct-current gas-insulated transmission lines (DC-GIL) with a basin-type spacer were investigated by the finite element method in this paper. A horizontally installed model was established and the temperature distribution was obtained with a 3D model. The specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the spacer were measured and applied in the simulation. The results show that the temperature of the convex surface was slightly higher than that of the concave surface. With an increase in the SF6 pressure, the temperature of the spacer decreased, which can be attributed to the improvement of convection due to increases in the heat capacity per unit volume. With an increase in the ambient temperature, the temperature of the spacer increased linearly. The temperature difference between the inner and outer parts of the spacer increased with increases in the load current. Besides, an obvious increase in the surface electric field strength appeared under the influence of the thermal gradient compared to the results without the thermal gradient. Thus, special attention should be paid to the insulation properties of the spacer considering the influence of temperature distribution. This study evaluates both the thermal and insulation characteristics of the GIL along with the spacer under various conditions.
