The purpose of HV bushings

is to provide a safely insulated entrance for an electrical conductor into a high-voltage device, such as power capacitors and transformers.

For oil/gas hermetically filled devices, bushings need to be leak free.

 

The challenge for a long lifetime

Bushings must keep hermeticity and insulating performances, withstanding:

  • Any outdoor climatic condition
  • Wide operating temperature range, from extreme cold to very hot environments
  • Mechanical stresses in operation and maintenance activities
  • Peak temperatures and mechanical stress during assembly to devices
  • Rated voltage and current without partial/corona discharge, flashover and overheating

Zamber has the longest track record of capacitor bushings operating on field

We have been manufacturing hermetic bushings for more than 60 years, exporting to primar international capacitor manufacturers.

Some millions of Zamber bushings have been installed worldwide, giving us the longest track record of on field product duration.

We constantly perform rigorous tests on our products and on our production processes so to keep the highest quality and European standards standards.

 

Our wide product range is based on different technologies: Metallized Bushings and Rubber Seal bushings.

As range completion, Assembled bushings delivered with kit of metal parts and gaskets for self assembly and rubber bird caps as accessories.

 

We supply our bushings in a big number of variants, and on request, our R&D develops customized products or variants following customer’s indication.
