Features
- HV bushing for pole-mounted transformers.
- Raw material sourced in the USA, offering a shorter, reliable supply chain and a hedge against any future international supply chain constraints.
- High-strength glass-filled polymer nut.
- Custom conductor and terminal configurations available.
- H-J cycloaliphatic epoxy – rated for full outdoor (UV) exposure.
- One-piece homogenous casting – surface damage (chips/scratches), will not lead to further insulation degradation.
- High mechanical strength – much higher impact resistance in comparison to porcelain.
- Superior electrical performance – excellent hydrophobic and surface tracking characteristics.
- H-J epoxy carries a V0 flammability rating. The epoxy insulation is self-extinguishing and will not burn except under continuous arcing conditions, or in the presence of a sustained high heat source.
- Epoxy bushings are a one-piece casting, offering higher dielectric strength and superior electrical performance compared to a porcelain assembly. Removal of air gaps and assembly hardware improves partial discharge performance and reduces potential leak paths.
- Epoxy bushings are significantly lighter, allowing for easier handling, reduced shipping costs, and lower CO2 emissions in transit.
- The epoxy design is more compact, allowing for a smaller mounting footprint. The compact size offers opportunities to optimized transformer designs such as a smaller tank size and less oil consumption.
- A robust design using highly resilient materials offers vast improvements and protection to harden equipment against vandalism.
