ANSI Transformer Bushing

ANSI Transformer Bushings

ANSI bushings are a type of electrical insulation and connection device used in power transformers. They are designed to safely carry high-voltage current from the transformer’s internal electrical components to the external power grid or other equipment. ANSI bushings typically adhere to the standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which ensures their reliability and safety in high-voltage applications.

Main Functions of ANSI Bushings:

1. Electrical Insulation: ANSI bushings provide the necessary electrical insulation, preventing high-voltage current from short-circuiting and ensuring safe transmission of electrical power.
2. Mechanical Support: They also offer mechanical support, stabilizing the connection between the transformer and external electrical components, such as power lines or circuit breakers.
3. Electrical Connection: ANSI bushings are used to connect transformers to external electrical systems, such as power lines or capacitors.

Key Features:

• High-Voltage Equipment: ANSI bushings are designed to work with high-voltage transformers (such as 110kV, 220kV, 500kV transformers), and they are built to withstand high electrical fields.
• Durable Materials: Typically, ANSI bushings are made from high-quality materials like porcelain or composite materials to ensure mechanical strength, reliability, and resistance to weathering.
• Standard Compliance: ANSI bushings are designed and manufactured in compliance with ANSI standards, ensuring performance, safety, and reliability under various operational conditions.

Applications:

ANSI bushings are widely used in power transformers, circuit breakers, switchgear, and other high-voltage equipment. They play a critical role in electrical power transmission and distribution systems, ensuring safe and reliable connections between transformers and the external grid.
