 Bushing in Transformer Transformers are an essential part of the electrical power system, used to step up or step down voltage levels for efficient transmission and distribution of power. One of the critical components of transformers is the bushing, which acts as an insulator between the transformer tank and the external conductors. A bushing is a hollow cylindrical tube made of high-quality insulating materials such as porcelain, epoxy, or composite materials. It is designed to support the external conductor and provide electrical insulation to prevent leakage of high voltage power. The bushing is connected to the transformer tank through a flange and contains a conductor that extends from the transformer winding to the external circuit. Bushing serves multiple purposes in a transformer: Electrical insulation: The primary function of the bushing is to provide electrical insulation between the transformer tank and the external circuit. It prevents the high voltage power from lea...
