4 Requirements
4.1 General requirements
Bushings specified by this document shall be installed with the transformer side of the bushing fully immersed
in insulating liquid and the other end either;
— fully immersed in an insulating liquid;
— or with shrouded insulation in air;
— or in air but not exposed to external atmospheric conditions.
All current-carrying parts shall be tin plated in accordance with customer requirements.
NOTE IEC Guide 109 and EN 62542 provide guidance which could be used to minimize the impact of bushings on
the environment during all phases of their life (including manufacturing, operation during service life, dismantling after their
end life and disposal or recycling).

r
The value of U of a bushing shall be chosen from the standard values of the highest voltage for transformers
r
and reactors U given below in kilovolts:
m
12 - 24 - 36
— For values of U less than 12kV bushings with U = 12kV shall be chosen

4.3.1 General requirements
Ceramic bushings shall meet the requirements for both type and routine tests laid out in EN 60137 and in
addition the following shall also apply:
Bushings shall be capable of sealing a liquid filled chamber. The design of 24 kV and 36 kV bushings shall be
such that free entry of liquid is allowed into the space between the conductor and the ceramic. In such
instances the sealing integrity of the bushing shall be maintained.

Ceramic insulators in accordance with Figure 1 shall be used in air insulated cable boxes as defined in 3.1.
Ceramic insulators in accordance with Figure 2 shall be used in shrouded cable boxes as defined in 3.5 and
fully insulated cable boxes as defined by 3.4.
The ceramic insulator will be in accordance to EN 62155. The glaze, which shall not be depended upon for
insulation, shall cover all surfaces except the flat surfaces of the flange and the ends of the ceramic. The
glaze colour shall be brown unless otherwise specified.
It is recommended that the mounting hole is of diameter D2 + 3 mm.
Each ceramic insulator shall be marked with the name or trade mark of the manufacturer and the month and
year of manufacture. These marks shall be clearly legible after glazing and firing and not appear on the flange
faces or end surfaces.
All ceramic insulators shall be subjected to tests in accordance with EN 62155.
4.3.2 Clamping arrangements
Bushing clamps shall be selected in accordance with Figure 3 or Figure 4 as appropriate. They shall be fitted
to the transformer side unless otherwise specified. Bushing clamps fitted to the cable box side shall be subject
to electrical testing in accordance with EN 60137.
4.3.3 Terminals
Bushing terminal arrangements for the cable box side are shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. Terminal
arrangements for the transformer side are shown in Figures 8 and 9.
