Bushings
RIP - Technology for SF6 / Oil - Bushings

In modern metal enclosed switchgear SF6 - gas is used

as an extinguishing and insulating medium, ensuring
highest security standard for operating staff and resi-
dents, especially in most confined and dense populated
areas.
As a result, today’s space saving design requires excel-
lent mechanical and electrical performance of all com-
ponents involved.
Micafil’s contribution to this world - wide development is
it’s new product range of GARIP bushings. These have
been designed for the direct single phase connection
between power transformers and gas insulated switch-
gear (GIS) for rated voltages of 72.5 kV up to 550 kV.

Since more than 40 years Micafil AG produces high vol-

tage bushings made with Vacuum Resin Impregnated
Paper Technology (RIP).
We are proud of our leading position in this field, making
available to our customers profound expertise in the
latest state of the art technology, which is based upon
more than 50000 RIP - bushings successful in operation.

The insulation body of the GARIP condenser bushing

series consists of a robust and solid core, made of
wound crepe paper and inserted aluminium foils for field
control, carefully vacuum dried and subsequently
impregnated with special epoxy resin.

The basic procedure for this new kind of manufacture

was originally developed by Micafil AG in Switzerland
already in 1958 and continuously improved in the course
of four decades.

Advanced standardisation, highly skilled craftsmanship

and computer - aided engineering guarantee today’s
most reliable and advanced insulation system for every
voltage level.

Main advantages of Micafil’s

RIP - technology
• Short delivery times
• Low dielectric losses (tan δ ~ 0.35 %)
• Partial discharge free up to double service voltage
• Fully dry, maintenance free
• Oil - free and environmental friendly
• Highest mechanical and thermal properties
• Robust design and vandalism resistant
• Option for any operating position
• Gas and oil tight
• Easy handling

Design and Accessories
.

Manufacturing of the main RIP - insulating body includes

the solid and non - removable conductor, resulting in a
perfect reliable structure, matching today’s stringent
electrical, thermal and mechanical requirements.

Main features of the SF6 interface

Dimensions and physical properties of GARIP type bu-
shings fully comply with all standard aspects according
to IEC publication 61639.
This enables complete compatibility of the interface for
both, producers of transformers and GIS manufacturers.
The specifically shaped head both acts as silver- coated
terminal with tapped holes as well as epoxy - coated high
voltage electrode. Therefore additional shields are not
necessary. Only adjacent conductor parts should be well
adapted to the bushing terminal.

Intended for the whole range of rated voltages from 72.5

to 550 kV, Micafil’s GARIP bushings are specified up to
750 kPa working pressure SF6 in the GIS.
Our new series of GARIP bushings require minimum
functional SF6 - gas pressures of 350 kPa (72.5 - 420 kV)
and 390 kPa (525 kV) respectively.

Flange design
All flanges are made of corrosion proof aluminium
alloys. Standard equipment encompasses a test tap, four
threads at the transformer side flange plate either for
grounding or as forcing threads and a de - aeration on
the transformer side.
A set of most advanced seals between the main insula-
ting RIP - body and the flange systems guarantees per-
manent gas and oil tightness during operation.

Test tap
All GARIP bushings include a self - grounded test tap
connecting the outer control layer of the RIP - body for
capacitance and tang measurement on site.

Main features of the transformer interface

The scope of new GARIP bushings offers CT spaces of
0, 300, and 600 mm as a standard equipment (note:
L6min = 100 mm for 170 kV types).
Special shields, which are dismountable for better
handling, are supplied for all bushings with rated voltage
greater than 72.5 kV.

Customised design for every Oil / SF6 application is avai-

lable on request.
