Micafil Bushings for Transformers

Oil-outdoor bushings with porcelain insulator PORIP / RTKF 24 170 kV

Technology Lead thanks to RIP Bushings

Micafil is the worldwide leader in RIP technology (Resin Impregnated Paper) for oil-free, dry bushings. These are extremely safe, protect the environment and lead to noticeable cost reductions.

Through the complex production process, a compact, liquid- and gas-tight insulation core will be manufactured.

The RIP technology in detail


The RIP technology is the core piece of a Micafil bushing: a resin impregnated paper insulation with capacitor inserts for electrical field control. Our material corresponds to the present requirements for a high-grade insulating system, in respect to the freedom of partial discharge and temperature.

RIP bushing technology


RIP bushings consist of a conductor, RIP body, main flange and insulator. The connection between the body and flange is oil- and gas-tight, with a multiple O-ring system. The refined design with a limited number of required parts reduces maintenance and testing of the bushings during operation. Micafil bushings are pressure-free and explosion-proof. Additional advantages of the RIP technology speaks for themselves, in relation to conventional OIP bushings: Technical level

Operational safety

No explosion hazard because of more vulnerable porcelain in the lower part of the transformer bushings Gas-tight (in oil-gas bushings the transformer is not threatened by penetrating gas) High emergency strength if insulator is damaged No fire or explosion hazard from leaking oil No environmental hazard from leaking oil Partial discharge free

Service

Maintenance- and check-free

High earthquake resistance Partial discharge-free up to more than double service voltage High thermal strength (class E,10C) Low dielectric losses (tan <0.35%)

Application Micafil Resin Impregnated Paper bushings of type PORIP are designed for application on oil-filled transformers, covering the nominal voltage range from 4 kV to 170 kV. They are used to connect transformer winding leads with overhead lines or air-insulated bus ducts. The CT spaces of 0 and 300 mm are available as a standard, other lengths on request. The very short bushings lower part allows space saving transformer design. Routine testing Each bushing is routine tested before leaving the factory. The tests, either according to IEC or to IEEE standard, include partial discharge, tan and capacitance measurement, as well as power frequency voltage withstand test. The test tap is also tested.

Flexibility in design

Adaptable to different transformer and installation designs Insulator ideal for outdoor use Compact, space saving Installation, transport and operation in any position allowed Installation friendly

Design and Accessories


RIP active part
The main insulation of the bushing is a dry, solid, Resin Impregnated Paper RIP insulation, with aluminium foils inserted. In order to optimise the electrical field in axial and radial direction, the size, exact position and number of foils are computer-calculated. The paper body is vacuum dried, impregnated with epoxy resin and cured. This process was developed by Micafil 45 years ago and constantly improved, having today the most advanced process. The result is a high-quality insulation system. High-mechanical strength, low tan and partial discharge-free bushings up to double service voltage are only some of the main advantages PORIP bushings have. The RIP body is oil- and gas-tight. All bushings have on the flange two M1 holes for handling and / or earthing.

Conductor and terminals


For current lower than 1,000 A draw lead application is selected. The copper cable bolt is shown in Fig. 7. The cable bolt is fixed to the bushings head and can be connected to the transformer leads by brazing or soldering. This bolt acts as the bushings top terminal, enabling the perfect connection between leads and overhead line. On the top of each cable bolt there is a deaeration screw. For current higher than 1,000 A removable copper conductor could be used. This type of bushing is not shown in this brochure, please contact Micafil for more information. All bushings are equipped with electrical shield on the bottom side. See Fig. 5 and 6. The aluminium shield is epoxy resin-insulated.

Flange, head and outdoor insulator


After fixing the aluminium flange onto the body, the porcelain insulator and the aluminium head are assembled. The space between the RIP body and the insulator is filled with the special, compressible dry filler MICAGEL. Such bushing is completely dry, allowing installation in any position, down to horizontal. There is no need for oil level gauge. Outdoor porcelain insulator has alternating sheds and a specific creepage distance of 31 mm / kV. The brown colour is standard.

Accessories
Test tap Each bushing is equipped with a standard test tap. The test tap is connected to the outmost aluminium layer and is automatically earthed, Fig. 9. Each test tap is tested with 3 kV, 50 Hz, for 1 minute. For a testing purpose the cap must be unscrewed and female-female pin adapter used. Such an adapter is available from Micafil.

Recommendation for Bushings Installation


Distance from bushings lower part to the earthed parts depends on the shape of surrounding parts, as well as on quality and condition of the transformer oil. The recommended minimum distances (A) to be used under standard conditions are shown in Fig. 8.

Checking and Maintenance


One of the main advantages of dry PORIP bushings is that they are fully check- / maintenance-free. If there is any problem on the transformer or in the network, the condition of the bushing can be checked by measuring tan and capacitance of the bushings active part, using the test tap.
