Development of Polymer Bushing for Overhead Line Switch
가공개폐기용 폴리머 부싱 개발
Abstract
Polymer bushing used for overhead line switch was designed and investigated. Requirements of electrical ratings such as partial discharge, ac withstand voltage, impulse voltage and material properties were proposed in accordance with IEEE 386 and pre-standard (PS) 151-146∼147, 170∼180 of KEPCO. The polymer bushing consists of an internal epoxy bushing and external housing made of EPDM rubber. The rubber housing was molded with mold cone. Therefore, the polymer bushing offers several advantages like light weight, good sealing properties, easy installation and excellent performance in contamination. Electric field analysis was also introduced in order to verify the reliability of the design.
