This specification is applicable to bushings intended for use on alternating current systems only.
Bushings which are intended for use in high voltage direct current systems are covered by a separate
specification.
PART 1 – PROCEDURAL
1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
2 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
Bushings shall comply with the performance requirements of BS EN 60137 according to the
relevant rating requirements detailed in TS 1 (RES), and TS 2.2 (RES).
During the Temperature Rise Test the thermal time constant shall be determined on raising
and lowering the temperature.
An oil sample for DGA shall be taken from all oil filled bushings, before and after the
dielectric type tests. Acceptance criteria for the dissolved gas levels in oil will be agreed
between the user and the bushing supplier. There shall be no change in the dissolved gas
levels before and after type tests.
Bushings for all switchgear applications shall have chopped impulse tests similar to those
specified for transformer bushings in BS EN 60137. The bushings shall be subjected to 5
impulses of negative polarity, chopping of the impulse being made by means of an air
insulated gap. The peak voltage level shall be 100% of the rated BIL. The time to sparkover
of the chopping gap shall be between 1 μs and 6 μs.
Bushings for gas insulated switchgear shall also be subjected to 30 impulses of both positive
and negative polarities with a chopping gap immersed in SF6 and located adjacent to the
SF6 end of the bushing. The peak voltage level shall be 60% of the rated BIL. The time to
sparkover of the chopping gap shall be between 1 μs and 6 μs.
Routine tests shall be performed before and after all type tests.
An oil sample for DGA shall be taken not less than 24 hours after the final routine electrical
testing has been performed. The results shall be included in the routine test report.
Not applicable.
