®
STARIP /-Si is an insulating body (20). It is made of
11
a special paper impregnated with epoxy resin under 12
vacuum and wound onto a central tube (19) made of 13
aluminium and coaxially placed grading layers (24) 14
made of aluminium foil to provide uniform voltage 15
distribution. On the transformer side end the inner 16
diameter is increased to accommodate the draw lead 17
insulation, it is screened by an integrated shield 18
19
electrode (32). B 20
This insulating body is installed in a housing, which
21
for type STARIP® (A) is a porcelain housing (16)
cemented into the bushing flange (29) by Portland 22
cement (25) and sealed by O-rings (26). The head 23
armature is pressed on by plate springs (12).
24
For type STARIP®-Si (B) the housing is made of fibre
glass re-inforced epoxy resin tube (23) with sheds 25
made of silicone elastomere vulcanized onto it. The
bushing flange and the head are glued to the housing
tube in a special process and the sheds are 26
vulcanized onto the tube. This type does not have a
spring bracing, because the head armature bears 27
itself.
28
The gap between the insulating housing and the
insulating body is filled with a dry filler (15), a flexible
PU-elastomere, which provides an adhesive joint 29
between surfaces. Therefore these types cannot be
disassembled. 30
The flange made of weather-resistant aluminium alloy
31
(29) is equipped with test tap (27), lifting eyes (28)
and grounding screws (30). The threaded bores can 32
be used for air release screws in case of glued
sealing bearer. D

The head of the bushing type STARIP (A) consists
of a cover (11) to close the porcelain housing and
plate springs (12), which transmit their compressive 1
C 2
force to the porcelain housing via the thrust ring (10) 3 A
and the bracing nut (9) screwed to the end of the 4
central tube. 5
6
Cover and thrust ring are made of aluminium alloy, 7
8
the bracing nut is made of brass. In the top the 9
bracing nut has a slit and a clamp screw (3). This 10
fixes the draw lead bolt (2). In this area the draw lead 11
bolt has two shafts (5), into one of which the locking 12
screw (4,13)) locks depending upon the position of 13
the bolt. On the front side of the bolt there is a screw 14
M12 (1) to pull through the bolt with soldered 15
transformer lead. On the outer side of the locking nut 16
there is an air release screw (8) for air release of the 17
central tube.
18
19
B 20
The head of type STARIP®-Si (B) has the same
21
construction in the area of the bolt clamping. The
cover (18) is glued to the composite housing,
22
therefore no spring bracing is required and the 23
clamping element (14) for the draw lead bolt is 24
screwed directly to the cover. To avoid corrosion a
non-corrosive steel washer (17) is placed between 25
cover and clamping element. As in the STARIP®
design the central air release screw is located on the
outer side. 26

2 Montage
2.1 Status of Dispatch
The bushing is dispatched in a ventilated wooden crate. It is supported
by styro foam cushions, which are located in the porcelain area and at
the bushing flange for the porcelain type and for the silicone type at
the bushing head and at the flange. In case of bigger bushings the
flange is supported by wooden cross beams.
The whole bushing is sealed in plastic foil with desiccant bags added.
(Fig.6)
2.2 Handling
To remove the bushing from its crate the type STARIP® can be lifted
and put down at the flange and at the porcelain housing with plastic
Surface influenced
ropes or loops. The type STARIP®-Si can be lifted and put down at the by moisture
head and at the flange only, because lifting at the silicone insulator
can lead to damages of the sheds, putting the bushing down at the
insulator leads to a deformation of the sheds.
The bushing must not be put down on the transformer side end. Even
in case of a suitable upholstering there is the danger that in case of
bumps cracks develop in the insulating material, which may be not
visible, but jeopardize later operation of the bushing.
When the transformer side end of the bushing is not protected, it can
by handled outside for a short period of time during dry weather.
Longer storage, e.g. during rain, is not permitted. The material RIP is
hygroscope and absorbs moisture on the surface, which has a
Dry surface
negative influence on the operating behavior on the transformer.
When bushings with clear traces of the influence of humidity are Fig. 7
detected, contact the manufacturer.
See comparative picture on the left hand side. (Fig.7)

2.3 Lifting and Erection
Use the lifting eyes on the flange to lift the bushing. On
the front side of the connecting bolt there is a screw M12.
Into the thread of this screw a lifting eye can be fixed.
This lifting eye serves as second lifting point.

2.4.1 STARIP® Disassembly Draw Lead Bolt, detachable
Conductor Bolt Fig.9
®
At the head of the bushing type STARIP there are following
parts: (Fig.12)
First the four screws (11) for the clamping element (7) are
loosened. Then the whole clamping element including draw lead
bolt or conductor bolt can pulled out of the bushing (Fig.15).
As clamping and sealing of the bolt have the same design as for
the bushing type STARIP®, after that - as described above - the
locking screw (3) and the clamping screw (5) have to be loosened
and the bolt has to be pushed out.

Note: In case of a detachable conductor bolt this bolt has to be Fig.14
removed only, if it is required by the arrangement in the
transformer.

2.5 Mounting Draw Lead Bolt
When the bushing is mounted on the transformer the
draw lead bolt with soldered transformer lead is pulled
upwards through the bushing with the help of a pulling
wire or rod while the bushing is led down onto the
transformer until the draw lead bolt comes out of the
bushing head.
(Example pulling wire see Fig.16).
Finally the threaded bore at the front side of the bolt has 1 Fig.17
to be shut with screw and sealing.

3.1 Grounding of the Bushing Flange
The bushing flange has grounding screws. The
flange has to be connected to the transformer tank
by grounding bands or cables. Apart from the
observation of several national rules this guarantees
faultless galvanic connection. It is possible to
achieve grounding by a screw with tip. This screw
(M12) has to be closed with a cap nut to protect it
against torsion and corrosion.

4.4 Electrical Measurements
The bushings are certified suitable for operation by the routine 1
tests carried out before delivery.
Fig.20
4.5 Test Tap
The last layer of the capacitive grading is led out insulated at the
bushing flange via a small auxiliary bushing Fig. 20 (2). The
contact pin (1) is suitable for the connection of test plugs with a
Ø of 4mm. The cover (3) has a contact socket (5) into which the
contact pin locks when the cap is closed and provides a reliable
grounding of the grading. The cover is protected against
penetration of moisture by an O-ring sealing (4).
Circuit diagram of the test tap arrangement see Fig. 21
5 Maintenance
5.1 Recommended Maintenance and Checks
The bushing is free of maintenance. Check and maintenance
Fig.21
refer specifically to the insulator and its condition and the
armatures and their condition regarding corrosion. This type of
check should be carried out once per year or together with
transformer revision. C1 main capacitane
C2 flange capacitane
1 capacitive grading
We recommend to carry out electrical measurements of the 2 flange
bushing after the first 5 years of operation, after that depending 3 test tap
upon the measurement results every 3 years or in shorter
intervals. (see item 5.3.3)

5.2 STARIP®-Si Cleaning of the Insulator Surface
The silicone compound insulator should not be cleaned
regularly. It’s good features regarding pollution are heavily
influenced temporarily by cleaning, because on the surface
there is a water-repellent coating which is removed by
cleaning.

5.3 Electrical Measurements
Measurements on bushings require experience with measuring
.equipment, test set up and the interpretation of the measurement
results.
This is for some part due to the relatively small capacitance
values, which are corrupted by ambient influence of the
environment alone. This measurement of the dielectric
dissipation factor can be influenced by humidity, weather etc.

5.4 Thermo-Control by Means of Thermovision
If as a routine thermovision controls are carried out
in the installations following items have to be taken
into account for the bushings:
An increase of temperature by up to 40 K can as a
rule be detected at the external contact point, i.e.
the lead clamp and is not unusual. Higher
temperatures or excess temperatures during low
load should lead to a check of the contacts.
Irregularities in the temperatures along the outdoor
insulator length, though may be caused by hotspots
and have to be investigated more closely, if
necessary contact the manufacturer. (Fig.25)

6 Possibilities of repair
Repair is restricted to the parts accessible from
outside, because due to the construction
disassembly of the composite housing is not
possible.
