Bushing Types

Transformer bushings are electrical parts that join a transformer's high-voltage and low-voltage windings together. For transformers to operate safely and effectively, they are necessary. Transformer bushings come in a wide variety of designs, each with unique benefits and drawbacks. Transformer bushings most frequently come in oil-filled varieties. They include oil within, which acts as an insulator for the electrical conductors and helps to prevent arcing. Bushings that are loaded with oil are affordable and simple to maintain. However, if they are broken, they may become combustible and release oil. Dry-type bushings do not contain any oil. They are made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, fiberglass, and epoxy. Dry-type bushings are less flammable than oil-filled bushings and are easier to maintain. However, they are also more expensive. Gas is used to fill gas-filled bushings , such as nitrogen. They are comparable to dry-type bushings but offer superior insula...
