IV. Product Characteristics

1. Excellent electrical performance

  • It uses a high-purity epoxy resin formula, which has high insulation strength, extremely low partial discharge, and no risk of insulation aging during long-term operation.
  • The umbrella skirt structure is optimized with sufficient creepage distance, effectively resisting surface discharge in humid and dirty environments.
  • It has excellent resistance to electric arc and corona, and can withstand system overvoltage impacts, ensuring safe operation of equipment.

2. Reliable mechanical properties

  • It is integrally cast, with high structural strength, excellent resistance to bending, tension and impact, and can withstand the installation stress and operation vibration of the busbar.
  • The flange is integrated with the main body, with no splicing gaps, and has good sealing performance after installation, preventing moisture and dust from entering the cabinet.
  • It features high dimensional accuracy, strong interchangeability, and compatibility with the installation requirements of mainstream 24kV medium-voltage switchgear and armored withdrawable switchgear.

3. Strong environmental adaptability

  • It is resistant to high and low temperatures, damp heat, and aging, and can operate stably for a long time in environments ranging from -40℃ to +120℃, adapting to different climate regions in China.
  • With flame retardant performance reaching V-0 level, it is self-extinguishing upon contact with fire and does not support combustion, thus improving the fire safety of the switch cabinet.
  • It is resistant to chemical corrosion, oil, and ozone, making it suitable for complex environments such as industrial power distribution.

4. Easy installation and maintenance

  • The standardized design allows for direct installation onto the switchgear partition without the need for additional insulation, resulting in high installation efficiency.
  • With its maintenance-free design, it requires no regular maintenance during operation; only periodic cleaning of surface dirt is needed.
  • Size, color, and mounting hole positions can be customized according to user needs to adapt to special cabinet requirements.

V. Scope of Application

1. Applicable Scenarios

  • A three-phase AC indoor power distribution system with a rated voltage of 24kV (10~35kV compatible) and a frequency of 50/60Hz.
  • Complete sets of equipment including 24kV armored withdrawable switchgear (KYN28A-24, etc.), ring main units, prefabricated substations, and high-voltage switchgear.
  • Power distribution equipment for power plants, substations, industrial power distribution rooms, and new energy power plants (photovoltaic, wind power), etc.
  • Insulation and fixed connection of conductive busbars/cables when passing through switch cabinet partitions, walls, and grounding objects.

2. Compatible busbar specifications

With an inner diameter of 175×235mm, it is compatible with copper/aluminum busbars of corresponding sizes and can meet the high current distribution requirements of 2000A~4000A.

VI. Usage Conditions

1. Normal operating conditions

  • Ambient temperature: -40℃ to +40℃, with the daily average temperature not exceeding +35℃.
  • Altitude: Not exceeding 1000m (when the altitude exceeds 1000m, altitude correction shall be made in accordance with GB/T 11022).
  • Ambient humidity: Daily average relative humidity not exceeding 95%, and monthly average relative humidity not exceeding 90%.

VII. Installation and Maintenance Requirements

1. Installation Requirements

  1. Pre-installation inspection: Confirm that the bushing is free of cracks, bubbles, and damage, that its dimensions meet the drawing requirements, and that the insulation resistance test is qualified.
  2. Installation method: Pass the bushing through the switch cabinet partition and fix the flange with bolts, ensuring that the flange fits tightly with the partition without any looseness.
  3. Busbar insertion: The busbar is inserted into the inner hole of the bushing. A uniform gap should be reserved between the busbar and the inner wall of the bushing to avoid squeezing the bushing and causing insulation damage.
  4. Sealing treatment: A sealing gasket can be installed between the flange and the partition to improve the sealing performance of the cabinet and prevent moisture and dust from entering.
  5. Post-installation testing: After installation, conduct power frequency withstand voltage and partial discharge tests to confirm that the insulation performance is qualified before putting it into operation.

2. Maintenance Requirements

  • Routine maintenance: Regularly inspect the appearance of the sleeve, clean the surface dust and dirt, and keep the skirt clean and dry.
  • Regular testing: Insulation resistance and power frequency withstand voltage tests should be conducted every 1 to 3 years to confirm that the insulation performance meets the requirements.
  • Abnormal handling: If any abnormalities are found on the bushing surface, such as cracks, discharge marks, or decreased insulation resistance, power should be cut off immediately and the bushing replaced. Operation with defects is prohibited.

VIII. Implementation Standards and Certification

  • The applicable standards are: GB/T 12944.1 “High-voltage wall bushings – Part 1: Porcelain bushings and glass fiber bushings”, GB/T 11022 “Common technical requirements for high-voltage switchgear and controlgear standards”, DL/T 486 “AC high-voltage disconnecting switches and grounding switches”, etc.
  • Product Certification: Tested by the National High Voltage Electrical Appliances Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and meets 3C certification requirements (if required).

IX. Packaging, Transportation and Storage

1. Packaging

  • The packaging uses cardboard boxes and foam cushioning to prevent damage caused by collisions and squeezing during transportation.
  • The package includes a product certificate, test report, and installation instructions.
