The instruction is applied to use and maintenance for cable oil-impregnated condenser transformer
bushing. Please read the instruction carefully before installing and using the bushing.

1 Mounting
1.1 Lifting and custody of bushing
Bushing packed with wooden box is transported horizontally and packing box cann’t be turned over.
Please check whether the packing box has signs of damage before opening the box..
After open the cover of the packing box , firstly remove the clip board on the top of the bushing,
suspend the upper and lower parts of porcelain insulator with flexible rope, take the bushing
horizontally from the packing box and put the bushing on sleepers or soft pillow, and then check
whether the enclosed and the documents concerned are complete according to packing list.. Please
wipe up every part of bushing to examine whether the upper and lower porcelain insulator is
damaged and every part of bushing has oil leakage.
Bushing should be stored in clean, dry and ventilated indoor area, and cann’t be corrupted by caustic
gas or liquid. Bushing closing up the fire source and heat source is strictly prohibited .

1.2 Preparation for mounting

1.2.1 The part below mounting flange and conduit center of bushing should be wiped up with dry
and clean calico, paying attention not to bump porcelain insulator and shield before bushing is
installed in transformer.
1.2.2 Oil gauge and test wire set should be put in the position watching easily when bushing is set
vertically. when bushing is tilted installation , it should be insured that deflation mounting flange is
at the highest position.
1.2.3 Suspend bushing from the packing box and remove the grading ring, according to Figure1-1.

1.2.4 Lift 252kV and lower bushing with double 3m ropes (withstand 3t weight ). Ropes should be
fastened around the space of the second bigger shed on top end of porcelain and flange lifting ring
or bushing lifting hole respectively. Suspend bushing into vertical position according to Figure 1-2.

1.2.5.Lift bushing with voltage level of 363kV-550kV vertically as Figure1-3. Tie the ropes as
following steps:

1.2.5.1 Prepare two cranes，3 ropes (each of the ropes length 3 meters and loaded more than 3t). 2
U-shaped shackle (loaded more than 2t). 2 ropes ( each of the ropes length 1 meters and loaded more
than 2t). Prepare two cranes, 3 three-meter ropes each for 3 tons, 2 load buckles each for 2 tons and
2 one-meter ring rope each for 2 tons.
1.2.5.2 Fasten 8 meters ropes, which withstand loads 3t, one tip to mounting flange and the other tip
to hang hole. Across 8 meters ropes, which withstand loads 2t, at upper porcelain, then fix 8 meters
ropes, which withstand load 3t, with1m ropes which withstand load 2t under the neck of conservator
of head. Tie the two eight-meter ropes for 3 tons to the two symmetrical lifting holes on mounting flange
respectively and then cross the two ropes over the porcelain. Fix the two eight-meter ropes for 3 tons around the
porcelain neck under conservator with 2 one-meter ring ropes for 2 tons.
1.2.5.3 Circle one 8 meters ropes, which withstand load 3t, under the neck of bushing flange. Tie the
two eight-meter ropes for 3 tons around the lower part of flange.1.2.6 Suspend hanger A,B together to
regular altitude，the altitude usually greater than the distance of bushing under oil. Move up lift hook A
and B simultaneously until it to be given altitude (greater than the length in oil)
1.2.7 Then fix the hanger B, as Figure 1-2, suspend hanger A until bushing reaches vertical posture.
Stop moving lift hook B and keep moving lift hook A until the bushing is mounted vertically as Figure 1-2
1.2.8 Pay attention to the porcelain under oil and voltage sharing ball when bushing is placed
vertical, prevent unnecessary damage. The end cann’t touch the earth when bushing is mounted vertically in
order to avoid damaging the shield and the porcelain in oil.

1.3 Testing of oil level and the test wire set of bushing

1.3.1 Oil gauge set on the conservator of head bushing is for monitoring oil surface in operation
(normal oil level, see Figure 2). Oil gauge is magnet pointer or round glass oil gauge.
1.3.2 The oil level within the bushing should be checked vertically before doing preventive tests and
when installing on transformer.
1.3.3 The oil level should be observed when the bushing is in operation.
Oil gauge pointer should indicate the calibration line of the bushing. It is regarded as normal (see
Figure 2). There is a little difference on oil level when temperature changes. If the oil level exceeds
stated altitude, oil should be discharged and the oil level should be adjusted by instruction of oil
extraction valve. If the oil level is lower than the specified altitude, oil, whose trademark should be
the same with insulated oil impregnated in the bushing in principle, should be filled in case of good
seal. And meet the following requirements:
①Puncture Voltage U(in standard discharger)： U≥50kV/2.5mm
②Tanδat 20℃: tanδ≤0.004
Others should meet a criterion of GB/T 2536 ‘Transformer Oil’
Note: 1. Taking the oil samples from bushing to do chromatographic analysis leads oil level of bushing to
dropand the oil should be made up by transformer oil.
2. The arise of oil level of bushing also can be caused by leaped mounting The oil level should be adjusted by
instruction of oil extraction valve.

1.3.4 There are test wire set for measuring dielectric dissipation(tanδ) and capacitance(C) (see
Figure 3), and oil extraction valve for taking oil sample in connecting sleeve. Deflation plug is set in
mounting flange for the release of its upper air when transformer is impregnating with oil.
Test wire set should be well equipped with leading shield to be grounded automatically when the bushing is
in operation.

2. Maintenance
Bushing has good electrical properties. If you pay attention to maintenance, you will be satisfied with the running
effect. Bushing should work at the specified running conditions. Note the following:
2.1 During operation, test wire set should be correctly connected with wires protector. In order to keep equipment
grounded safely. Test wire set should be well equipped with leading shield to be grounded automatically
when the bushing is in operation.
2.2 tanδ and capacitance C of bushing should be regularly measured when bushing is in operation, following DL/T
596—1996 "electrical equipment preventive trial order". If it is found that tanδ or capacitance C suddenly changes,
especially significant increases, the bushing should quit running to be checked.
2.3 The user should contact with our company as soon as finding the problems of bushing after bushing being sent
from our company. In order to analyse and solve the problems , don’t disintegrate bushing without authorization.
2.4 During operation, pay more attention to bushing oil level, keep the oil level at suitable place according to
Figure 2, oil should be discharged or charged on the basis of 1.3.3.3 after stop running. The oil level should be
observed when the bushing is in operation.(see Figure 2). If oil gauge pointer indicates between the lowest and the
highest as Figure 2, it is regarded as normal. If the oil level is out of the range , the bushing should quit running
that the oil level should be adjusted flowing as 1.3.3.
2.5 In order to our company improving the quality of product continuously, please provide information on service
condition and opinion concerned of bushing.
