1.3 Bushing structure
The main insulation of bushing is a RIP insulator of solid state. Inside there is a voltage sharing
electrode whose size is well calculated in order to make the field strength distribution the best both
axially and radically. The main insulation is vacuum dried, injected with epoxy resin and solidified.
It can be mounted at any angle.
There are connecting flange for connection, Test wire set connecting with the surface of
condenser core is installed on the sleeve (see Figure 2) for measuring the tanδ and capacitance（C ）
of bushing. The max test voltage on the test tap is 2kV under 50 Hz power frequency voltages,
maintain 60s.
Test wire set should be well equipped with leading shield to be grounded automatically when
the bushing is on operation.
Gas plug is set in mounting flange for the release of its upper air when transformer is
impregnating with oil.
Current-carrying way of the bushing is cable.
Shield is set at the bottom of bushing for improving the electric field distribution of bushing
bottom.

Note：leading shield（Item 1）may be loosened. Item 5 loosening is prohibited.

2 Mounting
2.1 lifting and custody of bushing
Bushing should be stored in air-proof and damp-proof package. Please do not open the protector
provided by the supplier if the bushing need to be kept for a long period. The packing box should be
covered by waterproof cloth or canopy. Bushing closing up the fire source and heat source is strictly
prohibited.
Bushing packed with wooden box is transported horizontally and packing box can’t be turned
over. Please check whether the packing box has signs of damage before opening the box.
After open the cover of the packing box, firstly remove the clip board on the top of the bushing;
suspend the upper and lower parts of bushing with flexible line as Figure 3-1 and 3-2 showing.take
the bushing horizontally from the packing box and put the bushing on sleepers or soft pillow, and
then check whether the enclosed and the documents concerned are complete according to packing
list. Clean all parts of the bushing.
Bushing should be stored in clean, dry and ventilated inddoor area, and cann’t be corrupted by
caustic gas or liquid.

2.3 Preparation for mounting

The part below mounting flange and conduit center of bushing should be wiped up with dry and
clean calico , paying attention not to bump epoxy core and voltage sharing ball before bushing is
installed in transformer. Test wire set should be put in the position watching easily when bushing is
set vertically. when bushing is tilted installation , it should be insured that deflation mounting flange
is at the highest position. Suspend bushing from the packing box according to 2.1 and suspend
bushing into a vertical position according to Figure4.

Loosen screw bolt (Item,4)，remove terminal block(Item 1)，pull cable leading wire joint (Item 10)of
transformer (reactor)from central conduit, fix bushing on ascending flanged base simultaneously, fix leading
4-2 wire joint on seal pressure plate(Item7) with cylindrical pin(Item9), mount pressure nut(Item 3),then install
terminal block (Item1), ensure seal rubber washer(Item 8)fixed to the exact position, and screw it tightly with
screw bolt(Item 4); When mounting, ensure every part of rubber washer sealed reliably.
Note：Never loosen the rest of screws, Otherwise the overall sealing of bushing would be
undermined.

3 maintenance
Bushing has good electrical properties. If you pay attention to maintenance , you will be
satisfied with the running effect.. Bushing should work at the specified running conditions. Note the
following:
3.1 During operation, test wire set should be correctly connected with wires protector. In
order to keep equipment grounded safely.
3.2tanδ and capacitance C of bushing should be regularly measured when bushing is on operation,
follwing DL/T 596—1996 "electrical equipment preventive trial order". If it is found that tanδ or
capacitance C suddenly changes, especially significant increases, the bushing should quit running to
be checked.
