Traversées de transformateur constituent les principaux dispositifs d'isolation à l'extérieur du réservoir du transformateur. Ils servent à acheminer les fils d'enroulement du transformateur de l'intérieur du réservoir d'huile vers l'extérieur, tout en assurant l'isolation entre ces fils et la terre et en les maintenant en place.  

Types courants :  

– Pure porcelain bushing: Mostly used for 10kV and below, the porcelain sleeve has air insulation inside.  

– Oil-filled bushing: Mostly used for 35kV level, the porcelain sleeve is filled with oil, and the copper rod is wrapped with insulating paper.  

– Capacitor bushing: Used for high voltage above 100kV, made of an oil-paper capacitor core, porcelain parts, oil reservoir, spring, etc., with the main insulation being the capacitor core.  

Principales fonctionnalités :  

– Electrical insulation: Prevents electrical breakdown between the lead and the transformer casing, oil tank, or other grounded parts.  

– Mechanical support: Supports and holds the lead in place, preventing it from loosening or getting damaged during operation.  

– Current-carrying path: Conducts load current during normal operation and withstands short-circuit current during faults.  

– Sealing protection: Fully sealed structure prevents internal insulation from moisture or contamination, extending its lifespan.  

Applications :  

– Distribution transformers: Mostly use pure porcelain or resin bushings.  

– Medium/high voltage transformers: Mostly use oil-filled or capacitor bushings.  

– Special requirements: Can integrate a current transformer (bushing CT) for measurement and protection.
