Technologies for transformer bushings Bushing core, made of resin impregnated paper
RIP core insulator (activ part) crpe insulating paper with condenser layered, dried under temperature and vacuum, impregnated under vacuum with epoxy resin. + no oil losses possible + no risk of fire (non-inflammable) + no risk of explosions + excellent seismic behaviour + lower weight - easier handling + lower long term costs + oil and gas tight system + no housing for oil end necessary + operates with damaged housing temporarily + core can be fixed to flange + partial discharge free + excellent ageing experience + no loss of insulation media o max. temperature < 120 or higher - higher production costs

Different technologies for outdoor end housing

Characteristics of composite insulators + hydrophobic surfaces + good characteristics under pollution + high life expectancy + low leakage current + low manufacturing tolerances + low weight - easier handling + high mechanical stability + elasticity in case of bending + optimal solution for seismic stress + no damage of splintering, no bursting + no danger of scattering + pressure resistant + significantly shorter delivery times - high price

Characteristics of porcelain + smooth glazed surfaces + surface leakage current resistant + high life expectancy + mechanical stability + easy forming + economically reasonable material + low price - restricted bending strength - high manufacturing tolerances - sensitive with respect to temperature changes - high danger of scattering in case of bursting - restricted pressure resistance - low impact strength - long delivery times - high weight

Composite insulator structure and secondary insulation

dry material foam silicon sheds RIP active part aluminium cast flange

Fiber glass reinforced laminate epoxy resin tube

The Gap is filled with a dry material foam + used for more than 20 years + no compensation volume needed + no ageing problems + no leakage possible + additional sealing effect + no fire-danger in case of damage + flexible in a wide temperature range

Different technologies for outdoor housings Composite insulators properties

One of the major advantages of silicone polymer insulators over porcelain: High hydrophobicity over the whole lifetime ! Surface is Water repellant & self cleaning ...even through thick layers of contamination
