ROLE of HV BUSHINGS
A bushing is simply a device that allows a
conductor to pass through a barrier: it has
an insulating medium, which must be
sustained to prevent the passage of
excess current to ground.
TYPICAL BUSHING DESIGN

RIP-Resin Impregnated Paper (Since 1960s)
RIS-Resin Impregnated Synthetics (Since 2010)
Non-Condenser Type:
Solid
Alternate Layers of Solid
and Liquid Insulation
Gas-Filled
RIS
Transformer Bushing Technologies
Oil Impregnated Paper Resin Impregnated Paper Resin Impregnated Synthetic

ON-LINE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY
ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
The approach of determining the capacitance and percent power factor
of an insulating medium relies on measuring the real and reactive
components of the leakage current through the test specimen.
ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT
• For traditional off-line capacitance/power factor measurements, that
reference is the applied voltage. Reporting the leakage current vector
angle with reference to the applied voltage constitutes an ABSOLUTE
MEASUREMENT (True Power Factor)
RELATIVE MEASUREMENT
• On-line measurements rely on the leakage current of another bushing
as the reference, signifying the leakage current vector is being
measured relative to another bushing.
• The relative measurement method, with the middle current vector used
as the reference. The limitation of this approach is that the on-line
measurement provides a relative value which can only identify change.

IDEALIZED LEAKAGE CURRENT
• Ideally, each leakage current in a set of three would be a sine wave.
• All three of identical magnitude and be separated by 120deg phase
difference.
• This would mean that their sum would be zero – but this is
rarely the case, as is shown below.

THE NEW DOBLE APPROACH
• Analyzing individual currents, and the raw data which gives the
currents provide much more information.
• dPrime IDD™ applies an expert system to learn what is normal
at each set of bushings
• In addition, limit values are set which provide a means to
identify insulation degradation.

CONCLUSION
• Bushing monitoring requires appropriate data in depth and
with built in expert system analysis.
• More than just a simple capacitance measurement or sum
current approach.
• The online technology has proven to be a valuable tool for
insuring the reliability of the apparatus, especially in an
environment where outages are rarely available.
