HV bushings
Thorne & Derrick supply from stock a complete range of Equipment Bushings which utilise epoxy and porcelain insulation designed for use in inner cone and outer cone type power transformers, switchgear, distribution transformers and pole mounted transformers operating at LV MV HV electrical voltages.
Porcelain insulation is a proven technology which provides low cost, long life and maintenance-free solutions which can withstand all environmental conditions.
For a given operating voltage porcelain insulators can be provided with varying creepage distances depending on environmental conditions.
Porcelain bushings are normally supplied with brown glaze however if required, they can be given a grey glaze. All bushings meet the requirements of BS EN ISO 60137 Standards.
♦ BS EN ISO 60137: Insulated Bushings for Alternating Voltages above 1000V
