POC (PAPER-OIL-CAPACITOR)
1 3 2 13 4 PCORE capacitance graded bushings for transformer and oil circuit breaker applications are a proven design based on a capacitor core with aluminum foils and high dielectric paper impregnated with dried, degassed oil. PCORE POC bushings meet all ANSI/IEEE standards for outdoor apparatus bushings, where these standards apply for voltage classes 25 kV through 500 kV. When a transformer application results in overload above ANSI/IEEE standards, a bushing having a higher current rating is recommended. PCORE POC bushings for other applications (e.g., oil-to-oil, oil-to-gas, outdoor-to-indoor air, etc.) are available for various voltage classes and current ratings.
7. Power Factor Test Tap (Medium Voltage Bushings)
25 kV through 69 kV bushings have a power factor test tap. The test tap is connected to the ground layer of the capacitor core. An aluminum cap covers the insulated test tap assembly and grounds the tap to the flange when energized.
8. Voltage Tap or Capacitance Tap (High and Extra High Voltage Bushings)
Bushings rated at 115 kV and above have a permanent internal ground. In addition, an insulated tap is connected to a floating capacitor layer. This tap, designated a capacitance tap or a voltage tap, is grounded except when used as a voltage source with a potential device. The voltage tap also serves as a means of measuring power factor and capacitance of the bushing core. The tap is ANSI standard type A, normally grounded.

QUICK-LINK BUSHINGS
In the past, utility engineers and transformer design engineers were faced with a choice of either bottomconnected bushings (with current capability of 1200 amperes or more) or drawlead type bushings (limited to 400 or 800 amperes). In applications where current levels were below 400 or 800 amps, the engineer would choose the drawlead type bushing, which allowed simpler and quicker installation and removal. This often would permit transportation and installation of the transformer oil-filled, saving thousands of dollars. The PCORE Quick-Link Bushing allows the best of both worlds, with the convenience of a draw-lead bushing and the current capability of a bottom-connected bushing. High current capability of 2000 amperes Installation and removal similar to draw-lead type bushings Proven multiple contact connector transferring current from the bottom terminal to the bushing conductor PCORE Quick-Link Bushing mechanism can withstand short circuit current of up to 25 times the rated current The Quick-Link system has been proven to maintain its full rating after more than 500 operations The Quick-Link mechanism has no internal connections that could become loose or overheat Installation is made by simply connecting the rod and pulling through the bushing No special tools or specific torque values are required. Overall bushing diameter is reduced because the current is carried by the bushing rather than a draw-lead or draw-rod The Quick-Link rod is much lighter than typical draw-leads or draw-rods, making installation and removal more convenient For more information, contact your sales representative or the PCORE factory directly.

REPLACEMENT BUSHINGS
Equipment life extension has become an integral part of a utility's philosophy in both austere and normal economic times. Also while extending equipment life, a very reliable electrical system must be maintained to supply quality electric power. A reliable-source of replacement bushings is required to maximize operating revenues and therefore, minimize equipment downtime. Finding a replacement bushing for ANSI or CSA standard bushings is quite easy since the intent of these standards is to define the critical dimensions. Therefore, the electrical and dimensional interchangeability is ensured for ANSI and CSA standard bushings made by several different manufacturers for transformer and oil circuit breaker applications. PCORE uses a comparative analysis system to document and to guarantee dimensional and electrical interchangeability between the original bushing and the PCORE replacement bushing. The comparative analysis information includes but is not limited to the electrical characteristics, minimum oil level, above and below flange lengths and terminal connections. The comparative analysis along with the outline drawings of the bushing and adaptors (if required) are sent to the customer for review. PCORE has an extensive collection of comparative analyses for ABB, General Electric, Lapp, Locke, McGraw-Edison, Ohio Brass and Westinghouse bushings. If changes to the suggested replacement bushing are desired (e.g., longer upper porcelain) the customer should make a specific request and the request will be reviewed and resolved. For more information, contact your sales representative or the PCORE factory directly.

7.5 kV - 34.5 kV
PCORE dry type bushings are ideally suited for distribution equipment requiring a reliable, rugged, low cost bushing. The applications vary from special power apparatus such as switchgear and vacuum circuit breakers to reclosers. The bushings are completely weather tight but are not recommended for use where capacitancegraded oil or moisture-proof bushings are required. The porcelain is provided with PCOREs standard petticoat design on the exposed end while the inside end is generously corrugated for optimum leakage distance. A copper conductor passes through the porcelain and is secured at both ends with high conductivity bronze and copper hardware. The mounting flange is cast aluminum for all ratings with a standard bolt circle of 7.25 to 7.5 inches. PCORE dry type bushings are available in current ratings from 400 to 2000 amps and voltage ratings from 7.5 kV to 34.5 kV. For more information, contact your sales representative or the PCORE factory directly.

The PCORE Test Terminal is designed for use with field dielectric test equipment for more accurate, faster, and safer field power factor measurement of apparatus insulation at a substantial savings. The PCORE Test Terminal is manufactured by PCORE for use with all types of bushings on circuit breakers, transformers, and similar equipment through 765 kV. The terminal is connected to any standard apparatus stud or terminal and in closed position, permits normal operation of the equipment. Because leads on station equipment are long, significant currents may be induced in them. By use of the terminal, these currents are eliminated from the measuring circuit, providing greater test accuracy. The PCORE Test Terminal design is an assembly of two porcelain insulators and three copper castings. Two copper blades swing up and connect the top and bottom castings for normal operation.
