4.5.5 Grounding of the bushing flange
Overview
The bushing flange must be grounded to the transformer tank. This prevents electrical discharge between the
bushing flange and the transformer tank under normal service conditions.
There are two alternatives.
DANGER!
Make sure that the grounding is correct. An unsatisfactory grounding can cause damage to
equipment, or death to personnel.

5 Commissioning
5.1 Waiting time before energization
General requirements for the bushing
• If the bushing has been stored in the vertical position with the top end upwards, then no waiting time
is required.
• If the bushing has been stored in an inclined position of 7°, required waiting time in the vertical position
is 24 hours.
• If the bushing has been stored in the horizontal position then air bubbles must be removed from
condenser core surface before it can be energized. Refer to the table.
• The waiting times can be met with the bushing installed on the transformer.
When the bushing is in the vertical position, air bubbles that are trapped in the oil collects at the top.
Storage time in the horizontal Minimum required waiting time in the vertical position
position
Before service voltage Before test voltage application
application
Less than one year 24 hours 24 hours

More than one year 7 days 7 days
CAUTION!
If you do not obey this procedure, flashovers or partial discharges can occur inside the bushing.
Waiting times after oil-filling of the transformer
Some waiting time is necessary after the transformer has been oil-filled, before the bushing is energized,
unless the filling has been made under vacuum. The reason for this is that air bubbles stick to the bushings
surface when the transformer is filled with oil, and flashovers and partial discharges can form in the bubbles.
Thus, it is important to let the necessary waiting time pass, to make sure that all the air bubbles have risen to
the surface of the oil before the bushing is energized. Refer to the table.
The transformer is oil-filled with Necessary waiting time
The vacuum process No waiting time is necessary, air bubbles do not form
in a vacuum. Refer to the transformer manufacturer's
instructions.
Gas-saturated transformer oil After the oil-filling process has been completed, wait
for 24 hours before energizing the transformer.
De-gassed transformer oil After the oil-filling process has been completed, wait
for 6 hours before energizing the transformer.
A reduced oil-level After the oil-level has been restored, wait 24 hours
before energizing the transformer.

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
5.2 Recommended tests before energizing
5.2.1 Overview
The tests should be done to check the insulation, sealing and current path of the bushing.
NOTE!
The tests should be done after installation, but before connecting the outer terminal of the bushing
to the power circuit.
5.2.2 Tightness test between transformer and bushing flange

Many different methods can be used, and we thus refer to the instructions given by the company responsible
for field erection.
For example, the tightness of the seal between the transformer and the bushing flange can be examined when
the transformer is oil-filled, with chalk or paper strips.
5.2.3 Tightness test of bushing outer terminal
Overview
Because the outer terminal is often situated above the oil-level of the transformer oil expansion system, a leak
at the outer terminal is serious. Water could enter directly into the transformer insulation. It is thus
recommended to do a tightness test after installation of the bushing, both with vacuum and pressure.
Different methods can be used, and Hitachi Energy refers to the instructions given by the company
responsible for the field erection of the bushing.
Example procedure
1. Put tracer gas into the center tube before installation of the outer terminal.
NOTE!
The oil-level of the transformer must be above the bottom end of the bushing, but below the
bushing flange.
2. Increase the oil-level to just below the bushing flange, to raise the pressure in the center tube.

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
3. Find leaking gas with gas detector (sniffer) near
the gasket.
G008374
End of instruction
5.2.4 Measurement of capacitance and dissipation factor
Overview
After installation of the bushing, it is recommended to measure the capacitance values for future reference,
such as repairs, service etc. This can be done on an installed bushing because it has an insulated . Refer to
2750 515-142, “Bushing diagnostics and conditioning”.
• C1 is the capacitance between the test tap and the outer terminal.
• C2 is the capacitance between the test tap and ground.
NOTE!
The transport container must be removed before measuring the capacitance and dissipation factor
(tan δ).
Nominal capacitance
The capacitance C2 may be used for future diagnostics provided a benchmark value has been recorded at the
time for installation in the intended transformer. This benchmark value shows the level of the capacitive
coupling to ground and should be referred to for future measurements. There is no issue if this value differs
from the nameplate of the bushing since the nameplate value is obtained during a routine test at the factory in
a test tank with ground which likely differs from the transformer.
For nominal capacitance (C1) values, please refer to the rating plate or the dimension drawing. The C2 value
for a bushing with test tap is always below 5000pF.

• Record the capacitance (C1) for future reference.
6. Measure the capacitance (C2) between the stud (1) and the flange.
• Record the capacitance (C2) for future reference.
7. Install the cover (2).
CAUTION!
The test tap is not self-grounding!
The bushing can be destroyed if the test tap is not grounded. Because the capacitance (C2)
is usually relatively small, the test tap must never be open-circuited when applying a
voltage to the bushing. It must always be grounded or connected to an external impedance.
CAUTION!
Do not energize the bushing without the cover or a test adapter installed. The cover
connects the outermost conductive foil to ground and will prevent damage to the bushing.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the cover is correctly installed with the O-ring in place, when the bushing is
not in use. The purpose is to prevent dust and water from entering the tap.
8. Connect the of the bushing to the external connections.
End of instruction
5.2.5 Measurement of through-resistance
Procedure
1. Record the temperature of the transformer winding.
NOTE!
The resistance of metals depends on their temperature. Because the transformer winding
usually dominates the total resistance, the average winding temperature at the time of
measurement must be recorded.

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
2. Measure the through-resistance from outer terminal to outer terminal.
3. Calculate the measured resistance to the reference temperature. Then compare the calculated
resistance to the reference resistance given by the transformer manufacturer.
A difference of less than 2% is acceptable.
NOTE!
The transformer manufacturer gives the reference temperature for through-resistance
measurements.
4. If the calculated difference of resistance is more than 2% from the reference resistance:
1. Make sure that the external connections have low resistance, and make sure that the outer
terminal and the internal connections are correctly installed.
2. Measure the through-resistance again.
5. If the calculated difference of resistance again is more than 2%:

• Wait 24 hours and do steps 1 through 5 again.
End of instruction

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
6 Maintenance
6.1 Recommended maintenance
General
The bushings are maintenance free, no regular maintenance is necessary.
DANGER!
Risk of electrocution!
Do not go near the bushing while it is energized, or ungrounded. High voltages can kill you.
Make sure that the bushing is de-energized, and grounded before you do work on it.
Maintenance of greased screw joints in C5 or CX environment during the regular service stop
During regular service stop of the station, all screw joints and amount of grease shall be inspected. If
necessary, a new layer of grease shall be applied.
If damage to the painted details has occurred, repair of the damage should be done as soon as possible, an
alternative may be grease on the damage waiting for painting repairing.
It’s important to keep a grease layer on the screw joints and the paint layer intact, to avoid corrosion. See
Treatment of screw joints to withstand corrosion level C5 and CX, page 17 for information.
Cleaning of the insulator surface
If the insulator is exposed to very high pollution, it can be necessary to clean the surface. Remove the
pollution with a moist cloth, or a low pressure water jet. If necessary, put isopropyl alcohol on the cloth.
DANGER!
1,1,1 -Trichloroethane or Methyl-chloride are not recommended as detergents, because they are
dangerous to persons and the environment.
Measurement of capacitance and dissipation factor
Please refer to Measurement of capacitance and dissipation factor, page 45.
Thermovision (infrared camera) check for local overheating on connectors
At the maximum rated current, the bushing outer terminal normally operates at a temperature of about
+35 °C to +45 °C above the ambient temperature. Significantly higher temperatures can be a sign of bad
connections, especially at lower current loading.
Checking of oil leakage
Make a visual inspection for oil leakage during regular station supervision.

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
After repairs
Hitachi Energy recommends that the capacitance is measured after repairs have been done, after maintenance
of connected equipment, or after work near the bushing is completed.
It is important to compare the capacitance before energization with the capacitance that was measured at
commisioning. A change in capacitance gives indication of a fault. Refer to Measurement of capacitance and
dissipation factor, page 45.
6.2 Taking oil samples
Overview
Taking oil samples is generally not recommended.

Oil samples should only be performed by authorized personnel. For more information, please refer to product

9 Disposal and environmental information
9.1 Overview
This chapter specifies the materials used in the bushing. Comply with local environmental regulations on
disposal of this product, the materials used are specified for this purpose.
9.2 Disposal and recycling

Hitachi Energy strives to minimize the product's impact on the environment throughout its entire life cycle.
Technical and product development focuses on environmental aspects. The ecocycle approach is striven for,
and consideration is taken to the materials' environmental impact and recycling alternatives. The
manufacturing processes are selected to be as safe for the environment as possible.
Disposal of worn-out equipment
Worn-out equipment must be disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

Much of the material, or the energy content in the material, can be recycled if it is sorted and cleaned. The
quantity of material that can be recycled varies depending on the technical resources and capabilities in each
country. Non-recyclable components should be sent to an approved environmental waste treatment plant for
destruction or disposal.
Porcelain
After cleaning, the porcelain can be sent for disposal or used for other purposes, such as for use as
filling material.
Metals
Metals should be sorted according to type and surface coating, and sent to an approved recycling plant. After
the removal of paint or other surface coatings, clean metal can usually be melted down and used in new
products. Many metal components of iron, steel and aluminum are large and easy to identify, e.g. support
structures. Hitachi Energy strives to reduce the use of precious metals and the release of environmentally
hazardous metals.
The recycling of precious metals is particularly important. Metals such as copper and silver are expensive,
and are only present in small quantities in the earth's crust. Copper is primarily used in current conductors,
contacts and cables. Some contacts are silver plated. Fumes from some metals can cause environmental
damage, this applies to zinc and nickel, which are used sparingly as surface coatings.
Oils and greases
Before disposal of the bushing, oil, grease and similar products must be removed and sent to an approved
environmental waste treatment plant or recycling plant. By utilizing gravimetric forces, oil waste can be
separated into oil, water and a range of contaminants. In many cases, the oil can then be reused. As an
alternative, the energy content in oil can be recovered through combustion at a plant designed for
the purpose.

2750 515-41 EN, REV. 8, 2023-11-27
Rubber
Send rubber to an approved environmental waste treatment plant, either for disposal or reuse for
different purposes.
Rubber is used in seals and gaskets.
Other materials
Sort other materials and send them to an approved environmental waste treatment plant.
