Hitachi Energy bushings for AC transformers and reactors

Our bushings are an essential component of AC transformers and reactors, helping to ensure that these critical pieces of equipment operate safely and reliably over the long term.

ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS FOR AC TRANSFORMERS AND REACTORS

Bushings for AC applications

Hitachi Energy helps power stations around the world with bushing solutions.

Hitachi Energy bushings are electrical insulation components that are designed for AC transformers and reactors. They typically provide a high-voltage connection between the transformer or reactor and an external circuit while also ensuring that the high-voltage is safely insulated from the surrounding environment.

Hitachi Energy bushings are made to specifically fulfill the needs of AC reactors and transformers, which run at high voltages and currents. They are typically constructed from premium materials that can handle severe electrical and mechanical stresses, such as porcelain or composite materials.

The bushings come in various forms, including oil-filled and dry-type bushings, and are compatible with a wide range of transformers and reactors. Oil-filled bushings are commonly utilized in transformers with liquid insulation, whereas dry-type bushings are employed in transformers with solid insulation.​

Hitachi Energy bushings are built to withstand various environmental conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and vibration. They are also engineered to exceed international requirements for safety and reliability. Additionally, they are made to be simple to install and maintain, and they come with various features, such as monitoring systems and diagnostic tools, that can help identify possible faults before they escalate into more significant difficulties.

Why choose our bushings?

HIGH VOLTAGE & CURRENT

Designed to handle high-voltage levels up to 1,200 kV and high current levels up to 8,000 A

CUSTOMIZATION

Can be customized to fit your specific requirements, such as different sizes, shapes, and mounting options

VIBRATION RESISTANCE

Designed to withstand high levels of vibration, ensuring reliable operation in high-speed and high-frequency applications.

LOW PARTIAL DISCHARGE

Bushings for AC transformers and reactors are designed to minimize partial discharge, reducing the risk of insulation breakdown and increasing the overall reliability of the electrical system.
