    1) A hydro power plant located in the Himalayan area is experiencing frequent burning of 132kV bushings on a 10MVA transformer, where the primary voltage is 6.6kV. 2) The burning affects all three single phase transformers and is not limited to any one bushing. 3) Suggestions to address the issue include checking for proper earthing of 1kV taps, inspecting with a corona camera, replacing bushings with a higher rating to account for the high altitude, and analyzing oscillography records or installing overvoltage protection.

    Frequent Burning of 132 KV Transformer Bushings

    In a Hydro Power Generation Plant located in Himalayan area , frequent burning of secondary( 132 KV ) transformer bushing of 10 MVA Transformer .Primary voltage is 6.6 KV. There are 3 nos. single phase transformers 6.6 kv / 132 KV. Burning of Bushings is limited to 132 KV Bushings & is not restricted to only one particular Bushing. Can any one analyse the reason & suggest remedial action 6 days ago

    amitabhaUnfollow Follow amitabha amitabha chaudhuri Please check wheather the 132KV bushing has provision of earthing of 1KV tap placed outside bushing.May be this tap needs to be properly earthed. i have encountered such bushing burn-out in 150 MVa auto Transformer bushing.

    MohammedUnfollow Follow Mohammed Mohammed A Aleem Hi, I would recommend that you contact the transformer Supplier to investigate for the repeated problem, if your conductors are firmly fixed on, it might be attributed to the improper selection of HV bushings for the application and environmental conditions you have. 4 days ago Unlike Like

    Ing. OleUnfollow Follow Ing. Ole Ing. Ole Knudsen As Don mentioned, the higher altitude means lower surrounding air pressure, and this in turn means that it is easier for corona to appear. You need to consult with the original vendor, and probably look into replacing the bushings with ones of higher rating, compensating for the higher altitude. 4 days ago Unlike Like

    EmmanuelUnfollow Follow Emmanuel Emmanuel Britto First thing to be done is to analyse the oscilography for the faults. If they are not available, check lightning arresters operation. Lightining arresters must be located as close as possible to the transformer HV terminals. Further, check overvoltage protection, if any. Another thing is to check the spark gaps on the bushings. There must be at least to the Hv winding. If you do not reach to a conclusion take the above mentioned measures ( spar-gaps, lightning arresters, overvoltage protection and surge recording by means of an oscylo) and change the bushings. 3 days ago Unlike Like

    SEKHAR BHATTACHARYA You have to consider the derating factor due to the high altitude factor,contact the OEM and check for his recommendation. Please also note this 132KV side neutral has to be solid grounded without any deviation. 3 days ago Unlike Like

    amitabhaUnfollow Follow amitabha amitabha chaudhuri I would also request you to perform bushing power factor test alongwith physical inspection of oil-level of bushing,cleaning of bushing pettycoats and inspection of signs of voltage tracking on bushing surface,if any, .Pl also check wheather water spray is directly affecting bushing insulation. a feedback is necessary for an appraisal of the case.
