Factory test results can vary from the site measurements as they
do no resemble the factory test conditions. The site measurements
carried out before commissioning should be taken as the reference
for comparison during future measurements.
5. What are the precautions to be taken during installation of
the bushing into the transformer?
a. Ensure the bottom electrode / stress shield is not damaged or
any paint peel off. This will affect the stress distribution in the oil
end side and can lead to catastrophic failure.
b. Ensure the detachable bottom electrode (in case of 245 kV & 420
kV) are fixed with their necessary hardwares.
c. The oil end insulator should not hit the transformer turret while
lowering the bushing. There can be mechanical damage or
hairline crack on the oil end insulator leading to failure.
d. The top terminal is provided with a gasket sealing to the bushing
socket. It is important to ensure proper compression of the top
terminal gasket to avoid any entry of rain water /moisture into
the centre tube of the bushing.
e. Bushing is placed on turret with fresh gasket and both are
tightened with torque wrench as per value specified by OEM.
f. Copper lead or rod of bushing must be joined with winding lead
with due care as per drawing. Any looseness in this joint will lead
to hot spot.
