A recent generation of dry type insulation technologies has changed the economics for real-time insulation condition monitoring. This article discusses integrated condition monitoring solutions that can be built into the primary condenser cores of transformer bushings, current transformers and cable accessories (terminations and joints). These solutions include monitoring of capacitive current in the primary condenser […]

In 2015 two 230 kV RIF® bushings were seismically qualified by shake table testing according to IEEE 693-2005. This testing was performed at the Structural Engineering & Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) at the University of Buffalo. The test samples were two identical 230 kV RIF® bushings. One bushing was tested for the normal IEEE 693-2005 […]
