Product Overview

 

Porcelain bushings provide mechanical support and electrical insulation for conductors passing through grounded metal structures. Fabricated from high-strength wet-process electrical porcelain (Alumina/Quartz-based ceramic matrix) and finished with an impermeable high-temperature glaze, these components endure mechanical cantilever loads, thermal expansion gradients, and continuous electrical stress. Built in accordance with IEC and IEEE standards, they are specified by transformer and switchgear OEMs requiring dependable insulation in outdoor or indoor substations.

Product Types & Construction

Solid Porcelain Bushings

One-piece ceramic body enclosing a central conductor rod; deployed in low-to-medium voltage distribution transformers (up to 36 kV).

 

Condenser / Oil-Filled Bushings

Ceramic housing combined with internal condenser grading layers or oil insulation for high-voltage transmission grids (72.5 kV to 252 kV).

 

Draw-Lead Bushings

Features a removable central conductor cable, enabling maintenance of transformer windings without unsealing the core main tank.

 

 

Porcelain Bushing in Power

 

Working Principle

The porcelain shell creates an extended creepage path to prevent external flashover along the insulator surface under polluted or wet conditions. Internally, the dielectric properties of the ceramic matrix restrict leakage current, while the metallic conductor transfers electrical load across the grounded barrier safely.

 

 
Key Features
 
01/

Wet-Process Alumina Porcelain: Fired at 1300°C to achieve a dense, non-porous vitreous phase with zero moisture absorption.

02/

Specialized Glaze Finish: Applied prior to firing to minimize dust accumulation, resist ultraviolet degradation, and shed moisture efficiently.

03/

Hot-Dip Galvanized Hardware: Flanges, caps, and terminals treated with minimum 85-micron zinc coatings to withstand corrosive coastal or industrial environments.

04/

High Cantilever Strength: Withstands mechanical loads up to 12 kN without micro-fracturing of the ceramic body.

Manufacturing & Quality Control

 

1

Forming

Vacuum extrusion and isostatic pressing eliminate internal voids and air pockets within the raw clay body.

2

Firing

Automated tunnel kilns maintain controlled temperature curves to ensure uniform vitrification and prevent shrinkage cracking.

3

Routine Testing

Every production batch undergoes 100% dry power-frequency voltage withstand tests and internal hydraulic pressure tests (for oil-filled variants).

4

Type Testing

Samples undergo thermal shock testing (boiling water to ice water cycles), radio interference voltage (RIV) tests, and cantilever load verification in certified laboratories.

 

Customization Options

 

 

Custom creepage path extensions for heavy pollution sites (Coastal and desert environments).
Integrated current transformers (CTs) built into the flange assembly.
Specialized copper or aluminum alloy terminal connectors tailored to specific busbar dimensions.
Non-standard flange hole pitch circles to match legacy transformer retrofit requirements.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What distinguishes wet-process porcelain from dry-process porcelain for high-voltage applications?

A: Wet-process porcelain uses a vacuum-extruded clay slip with higher alumina content, fired at higher temperatures to eliminate porosity. This achieves higher dielectric and mechanical strength required for transmission-class voltages, whereas dry-process is limited to low-voltage, non-structural applications.

Q: How do you prevent micro-cracks in the porcelain body during thermal cycling?

A: Thermal shock resistance is controlled during the glaze-matching phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the surface glaze is tuned to be slightly lower than the underlying ceramic body, placing the outer glaze layer under permanent compressive stress upon cooling.

Q: What standards do your bushings comply with for international grid integration?

A: Units are manufactured and routine-tested to comply with major international specifications including IEC and IEEE standards. Full test reports are provided with commercial shipments.

Q: Can flange dimensions and creepage distances be modified for replacement projects?

A: Yes. Engineering teams can match existing brownfield transformer mechanical mounting footprints and upgrade the shed profile to meet higher site pollution requirements.

Q: What corrosion protection is applied to metal hardware exposed to outdoor elements?

A: All ferrous metal components (flanges, caps, bolts) undergo hot-dip galvanizing to ensure a minimum coating thickness of 85 microns for long-term atmospheric corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the standard lead time for prototype versus volume production orders?

A: Standard catalog items ship within 3 to 4 weeks. Custom-engineered designs requiring new ceramic molds or specialized hardware require 8 to 10 weeks, inclusive of tooling, sample firing, and mechanical load testing.
