4.7 Minimum oil-level in transformer Oil spillage Oil spillages that are not removed can be misstaken for oil-leakage at a later time, it is thus important to remove them. Procedure Make sure that the transformer oil-level is maximum 30 mm from the lower side of the bushing flange.
Page 50
Prepare the contact surface (47), gasket surface (87) and O-ring (3): Carefully clean the contact surface and gasket surface with a soft cloth. Apply Vaseline to the contact surface. Apply Mobilgrease 28 to the gasket surface and O-ring (3). CAUTION! Do not use a wire brush on the tin/zinc coating on aluminium outer-terminals.
Page 51
Apply Molykote Multilub to the M10 bolts (6). Install the M10 bolts (6) and plain washers (7). Tighten the M10 bolts (6) in a crosswise sequence. CAUTION! Make sure that the outer terminal moves straight down. Turn each bolt a little, and then the next bolt, until all bolts can be tightened to the correct torque.
4.9 Grounding of the bushing flange Overview The bushing flange must be grounded to the transformer tank. This prevents electrical discharge between the bushing flange and the transformer tank under normal service conditions. DANGER! Make sure that the grounding is correct. An unsatisfactory grounding can cause damage to equipment, or death to personnel.
5 Commissioning 5.1 Waiting time before energization General requirements for the bushing • If the bushing has been stored in the vertical position with the top end upwards, then no waiting time is required. • If the bushing has been stored in an inclined position of 7°, required waiting time in the vertical position is 24 hours.
Different methods can be used, and Hitachi ABB Power Grids refers to the instructions given by the company responsible for the field erection of the bushing.
Thus, it is important to measure and record the capacitance (C ) for future reference, such as repairs, service etc. Type Nominal capacitance (pF) ±10% * ±50% GOE 2600 6000 * Reference values from Hitachi ABB Power Grids. Installation and commissioning guide 1ZSC000563-AAF EN, REV. 4, 2021-06-23...

Connect the measuring equipment. Connect the low voltage cable to the stud (57). Connect the high voltage cable to the outer terminal. Connect the ground cable to the bushing flange (65). Measure the capacitance (C ) between the outer terminal and the stud (57). •...
5.2.5 Measurement of through-resistance Overview The method to use for measuring the through-resistance depends on the design of the transformer. In general, a current is applied from bushing to bushing. The voltage drop from the outer terminal to outer terminal is measured.
6 Maintenance 6.1 Recommended maintenance General The bushings are maintenance free, no regular maintenance is necessary. DANGER! Risk of electrocution! Do not go near the bushing while it is energized, or ungrounded. High voltages can kill you. Make sure that the bushing is de-energized, and grounded before you do work on it. Cleaning of the insulator surface If the insulator is exposed to very high pollution, it can be necessary to clean the surface.
Page 60
Make a visual inspection for oil leakage during regular station supervision. After repairs Hitachi ABB Power Grids recommends that the capacitance is measured after repairs have been done, after maintenance of connected equipment, or after work near the bushing is completed.
If the oil-level is in the red area, fill the bushing with clean and dry transformer oil. Please contact Hitachi ABB Power Grids for the correct oil-level. Oil-filling is only allowed when the temperature of the bushing is between +5 °C and +35 °C.
Remove the cover (58) and oil-plug (9). Fill the bushing with transformer oil to the correct oil-level. For more information, contact Hitachi ABB Power Grids. Install and tighten the oil-plug (9). Use a new gasket (77), article number: 1ZSC001591-AAC.
Page 63
Procedure Put a container under the oil valve (51) to collect oil-spills. CAUTION! If transformer oil spills, clean the are immediately. A wet surface is dangerous and can cause you to fall. Connect the end of a hose to a nipple, and then connect the nipple to the oil valve (51) on the flange. NOTE! The thread on the oil valve is (R ½") BSPT ½".
Page 64
Wait before energizing the bushing: • If bubbles where not introduced into the transformer oil, wait one hour. • If bubbles where introduced into the transformer oil, wait 12 hours. CAUTION! Flashovers and partial discharges can form in the bubbles, this can cause damage to the bushing.
The terminal on the pull-through cord (12) has M8 threads. NOTE! Hitachi ABB Power Grids recommends that the hydraulic jack is used for the removal of the lower draw rod, refer to Removal of the lower draw rod with bottom contact from the bushing , page steps 1 through 8.
Page 66
Remove the M16 nut (10) on the draw rod with the box spanner (13). Remove the nuts and washers. Lift the bushing from the transformer. CAUTION! Do not damage the stud bolts, there is a risk of metal falling into the transformer.
Page 67
Disassemble the draw rod at the lower joint (39). Use the key grip on the lower draw rod. DANGER! Make sure that the upper draw rod does not fall down when the lower joint (39) is disassembled. CAUTION! Do not disassemble the joint (60), this increases the risk of incorrect assembly.
Lower the bushing to the floor. CAUTION! Make sure that there are support blocks on the floor. Remove the lifting tool, refer to Installation of lifting tools, page 20. Pull out the upper draw rod (35) and support tubes (80) by hand. CAUTION! Be careful when pulling out the draw rod.
Page 69
Remove the nuts and washers. Remove the winding cables from the fixed bottom contact. Lift the bushing from the transformer. CAUTION! Do not damage the stud bolts, there is a risk of metal falling into the transformer. Installation and commissioning guide 1ZSC000563-AAF EN, REV.
Page 70
Lift the bushing to a position above the floor and turn the bushing to a horizontal position. Install the lifting tool (88) to the flange. Install soft lifting slings from the lifting tool (88) to a second crane. Lower the upper part of the bushing. Stop when the bushing is in a horizontal position.
7.3 Re-packing of the bushing Overview Procedure Put plastic wrap on the draw rod, and fix it to the transport box. CAUTION! Do not put the draw rod into the bushing, the threads on the draw rod will scratch the inside of the center-tube.
Page 72
Remove the lifting tool (88). Attach the bushing to the transport box in the same way as when it was delivered. CAUTION! Make sure that the bushing cannot move or rotate in the transport box. Close the transport box. NOTE! Refer to Lifting the transport box, page and Transportation, page 13.
8 Spare parts and special tools 8.1 Summary If the bushing is damaged, we recommend that it is returned to Hitachi ABB Power Grids for repairs and re-testing. Some parts that are damaged or lost during transportation or installation can be ordered from Hitachi ABB Power Grids.
