State of the art bushing technology ompact and reliable design EasyDry common specifications The EasyDry transformer bushing is a resin molded polymeric fiber bushing with a silicone rubber insulator. This means that the condenser core is molded in its final shape (picture ) and the silicone rubber insulator is directly molded as one piece on the core (picture ). In this way, the insulator and the condenser core become tightly bound to one another. The optimized process and high quality materials make the bushing partial-discharge free and ensure low dielectric losses. The bushing design is completely oil- and paper-free and does not contain water-absorbent materials. The EasyDry bushing consists of a resin molded condenser core, main flange and silicone rubber insulator. The condenser core is manufactured using aluminium tube or copper conductor and then wound with a fiber condenser core utilizing aluminum foils for electrical field control. The condenser core is then molded under vacuum with a special epoxy resin into its final shape. Therefore the condenser core needs no machining. The molding is performed under vacuum, in a controlled and hermetically sealed environment. The aluminium flange is directly assembled on the condenser core with a multiple O-ring system creating an oil- and gastight sealing system. In contrast to some traditional designs, the bushing s terminals are made of one piece. Both, the cable bolt and removable solid rod conductor, are fitted with a clamp at the top of the bushing. We are proud of our leading position in high voltage bushings by providing our customers with profound expertise in this stateof-the-art technology. This new bushing technology combines the best advantages of both OIP and IP technologies. ommon specifications Application Transformer bushing, oil to air lassification Dry, fine capacitive graded, resin molded bushing Minimum ambient, lower temperatures on request temperature Altitude of installation <0m, higher level of altitude on request Pollution level Very heavy Mounting angle Vertical to horizontal Measuring tap kv Standards IE (0) and IEEE..00 (0) and..0 () EasyDry bushing cross-section. opper terminal (air side). lamp.

Benefits of EasyDry Safe, reliable and easy The EasyDry transformer bushing combines the benefits of IP and OIP bushings into one compact product. The EasyDry bushings share the OIP performance having an excellent resistance to moisture absorption during storage and transportation, and at the same time provide the same excellent overload characteristics and thermal values you expect from an IP bushing. urthermore, the bushings are constructed of fire-resistant materials. This makes the bushing extremely safe for both personnel and systems. Easy to use, maintenance-free EasyDry is maintenance- and inspection-free Installation and transportation is possible at any angle Excellent electrical and thermal properties Partial-discharge free up to double service voltage High thermal endurance (class E, ) Low dielectric losses (tan δ < 0. %) Superb design, reliable performance EasyDry bushings utilize only materials which are moisture resistant, making bushing storage and transportation much easier and practical Easy handling and installation of the bushing thanks to the reduced number of components Single-piece terminal without joints guarantees low resistance current path One-piece, direct-molded silicone insulator provides superior moisture and contamination resistance Oil- and paper-free bushing, highest operational safety The EasyDry design effectively prevents explosions since they are oil- and pressure-free The EasyDry bushing s core material makes it fire-resistant Hydrophobic, non-shattering silicone insulator with outstanding contamination performance Environmental friendly The materials are selected to provide the lowest possible environmental impact over the whole product life cycle Lower carbon footprint than other bushing technologies Standard bushing with better than standard performance EasyDry transformer bushings are specified and tested according to the IE (0) and IEEE..00 (0) and..0 () Standards. The bushings not only meet, but exceed the requirements in the relevant standards due to the low tangent delta and partial discharge performance. The minimum allowed ambient temperature of (lower temperatures on request) enables EasyDry to perform even in the most demanding conditions.
