An insulation analysis of high voltage transformer bushing

Abstract

This article presents how the analysis an insulation of high voltage transformer bushing. The purpose is to analysis the moisture in the bushing to evaluate the approach for maintenance. The analysis rely on the principle of the Polarization and Depolarization Current (PDC) technique, which is a technique for analyzing the insulation of high voltage equipment to test high voltage transformer bushing for a case study. This method is performed by energize 1,000 Vdc into a bushing in period of time and then switch off the circuit for discharge current. Finally we calculate the moisture of main insulation of high volt bushing as well compare with standard moisture of criteria. The method is useful of preventive maintenance plane of high volt bushing and reduce the failure in the power system.
