TechImp High Voltage Bushing Tap Adapter allows the user
to connect to the test tap (sometimes called power factor
tap) of high voltage transformer bushings. While keeping
the test tap well below the safety voltage level required by
the manufacturer, the Tap Adapter lets the user to drain
high frequency PD signals for diagnostic assessment of
insulating materials. A synchronization signal can be
derived as well. It is suitable for both single shot as well as
continuous PD monitoring.
Although it must be customized on the basis of the shape
and dimension of the test tap (to be provided by the
Customer), many models are readily available for the most
established transformer bushings. A list of the presently
available models is reported below.
Several thousands of hours of operation are a guarantee
of reliability and accurate design.

Long lasting materials such as stainless steel and brass


are used to guarantee a reliable contact.
A BNC termination is available to connect the Voltage
Tap to the coaxial cable. The cable ends into the
Derivation Box which usually lays at ground level.
The proper measurement impedance and an
overvoltage protection are integrated into the Tap Adapter.

Values of the above electrical components are chosen on the basis of the bushing capacitance
(commonly referred as C1, to be provided by the Customer).
In case of long term overvoltage the units has a fail safe protection which shunts the measurement
impedance to ground, thus preventing the bushing from overvoltage and sparkover on the test tap.
Even in the case of accidental disconnection of the output cable, the unit will keep the transformer
bushing in a state of absolute safety. It has a fully sealed body suitable for reliable outdoor installation.
A multipolar detachable connector is available (as an option) to completely disconnect the internal
resistor, as well as the internal SVP, in order to perform a true tanδ measurement by means of an
external suitable equipment.
