Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to insulation in power systems and in particular to a bushing and a system comprising such a bushing.
  • a bushing is an insulating structure used for leading an electrical conductor with a first electric potential through a surface or wall, such as a turret wall of a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transformer or an HVDC reactor, with a second electric potential.
  • HVDC high voltage direct current
  • a bushing should be designed taking both DC components and AC components into account.
  • the oil side of the bushing where the electrical conductor in the bushing typically is interconnected with an electrical conductor of the electrical equipment, for instance the converter side windings of a transformer, is subjected to high electrical stress created by AC voltages, steady state DC voltages, and transient phenomenon.
  • an insulation structure surrounding the oil side of the bushing is needed in the turret, the transformer tank or reactor tank.
  • the insulation structure may be large and complex.
  • US1955305 discloses a bushing which comprises a plurality of concentrically arranged dielectric cylinders and conductive cylinders.
  • the surfaces of the steps defined by a staircase formation of the cylinders define the external surface of the condenser core.
  • the “steps" of this staircase have varying length, and thus the profile of the condenser core can be approximated by a non-linear curve.
  • GB290651 discloses a terminal structure for a high tension electric apparatus comprising a condenser bushing.
  • US3394455 discloses a method of constructing cast, condenser type electrical bushings.
  • a general object of the present disclosure is to provide a bushing with increased electrical withstand strength.
  • Another object is to provide a system comprising an inductive device and a bushing, for which inductive device the requirements on its insulation structure may be set lower than for a corresponding existing system.
  • a bushing comprising a condenser core arranged to house an electrical conductor along a central axis of the condenser core, wherein the condenser core has a tapering end portion arranged to be in contact with a fluid dielectric having higher dielectric withstand strength than air, the tapering end portion presenting a surface having a first portion with a first inclination in the axial direction and a second portion with a second inclination in the axial direction, which second inclination differs from the first inclination, wherein the first portion and the second portion define planes that intersect the central axis, wherein the tapering end portion of the condenser core comprises conductive layers concentrically arranged around the central axis, wherein the conductive layers are arranged in a stair-like formation axially, with an innermost conductive layer having an edge defining the first step and the outermost conductive layer having an edge defining the last step, and each conductive layer
  • the distance from the bushing boundary to interior components of the bushing is controlled along said end portion.
  • the creep stress or tangential stress along the tapering end portion can be controlled.
  • Controlling the creep stress along the tapering end portion is beneficial for the performance of the turret and bushing insulation of e.g. an inductive device such as a transformer which can be used with the bushing, and the shape of the end portion can increase the dielectric withstand strength and reduce the amount, complexity and cost of the turret insulation structure.
  • the bushing Due to the tangent between the edge of the innermost conductive layer and the edge of the outermost conductive layer not being tangential to at least one edge of a conductive layer arranged between the innermost conductive layer and the outermost conductive layer, two degrees of freedom can be used when designing the bushing, i.e. the curvature of the tapering end portion and the axial curvature provided by the edges of the conductive layers.
  • the axial curvature of the conductive layers can be designed to provide an advantageous axial voltage distribution and the axial curvature of the tapering end portion provides the distance between the conductive layer and said end portion, whereby optimal bushing designs may be provided by combining the above mentioned design parameters.
  • the first portion and the second portion form a concave region of the tapering dielectric fluid medium side end portion.
  • the concave region is at least 20% of the length of the tapering dielectric fluid medium side end portion.
  • the edges of at least some of the conductive layers define a locally concave profile of the conductive layers.
  • a locally concave profile is herein meant that a curvature defined by the edges of at least some of the conductive layers is concave, wherein the profile of all of the conductive layers may have a more complex shape than concave.
  • the tapering end portion is an oil side end portion of the bushing.
  • the surface of the tapering end portion is an external surface of the bushing.
  • the surface of the tapering end portion comprises cellulose material.
  • the tapering end portion is rotationally symmetric.
  • the bushing is an HVDC bushing.
  • the bushing may advantageously be used with an inductive device.
  • a system comprising an inductive device and a bushing according to the first aspect presented herein, wherein the bushing may be arranged in an opening of the housing of the inductive device.
  • the inductive device is an HVDC transformer.
  • the inductive device is an HVDC reactor.
  • Fig. 1 depicts a schematic side view of a bushing 1.
  • the bushing 1 is an electrical insulator for insulating an electrical conductor which is to be lead through a surface, such as a wall, having a different electric potential than the electrical conductor.
  • the bushing 1 has a condenser core 3.
  • the condenser core 3 is arranged to house an electrical conductor along a central axis X of the condenser core 3.
  • Conductive layers C are arranged concentrically around the central axis X, and housed in the condenser core 3.
  • the condenser core 3 has a surface 3a acting as an external surface or cover of the conductive layers 6.
  • the bushing 1 has a first portion 3-1, a second portion 3-2, and a mounting flange 3-3 separating the first portion 3-1 from the second portion 3-2 of the bushing 1.
  • the first portion 3-1, the flange 3-2 and the second portion 3-2 defines the total axial length of the bushing 1.
  • the first portion 3-1 is arranged for extension in a first type of medium
  • the second portion 3-2 is arranged to for extension in a second type of medium.
  • the first type of medium and the second type of medium may be the same medium or they may be different media.
  • the first medium may for instance be oil, an insulating gas such as SF 6 , or air, depending on the bushing type and application.
  • the second medium may be any dielectric fluid having a dielectric withstand strength that is higher than the dielectric withstand strength of air. Such medium may for instance be transformer oil or SF 6 .
  • the bushing 1 may be an air-to-oil bushing, wherein the first type of medium is air, and the second type of medium is oil.
  • the bushing 1 may be an oil-to-oil bushing, wherein both the first type of medium and the second type of medium is oil.
  • the bushing 1 may be an insulating gas-to -oil bushing, wherein the first type of medium is an insulating gas such as SF 6 , and the second type of medium is oil.
  • At least one of the first portion 3-1 and the second portion 3-2 has a tapering end portion.
  • the tapering end portion 3-2a of the second portion 3-2 is described, it is to be noted that this design could be applied to the first end portion as well, if the external surface of the first end portion is arranged to be in contact with a dielectric fluid having higher dielectric withstand than air.
  • dielectric fluids can for example be oil or an insulating gas such as SF 6 .
  • Fig. 2a shows a portion of a schematic cross-sectional side view of the second portion 3-2.
  • the second portion 3-2 is arranged to be in contact with a dielectric fluid with greater dielectric withstand strength than air. Since the second portion 3-2, and thus also the tapering end portion 3-2a, is arranged to be in contact with a dielectric fluid with greater dielectric withstand than air, the design of the second portion differs from the design of an air side bushing portion.
  • the tapering end portion 3-2a has a first portion 4-1 with a first inclination 1-2 in the axial direction and a second portion 4-2 with a second inclination 1-2 in the axial direction.

  • the tapering end portion 3-2a has a non-conical profile.
  • the first portion 4-1 is adjacent the second portion 4-2 in the axial direction.
  • the region where the first portion 4-1 joins the second portion 4-2 is curved in towards the interior of the condenser core 3.
  • the first portion 4-1 and the second portion 4-2 form a concave region 5-1.
  • the concave region 5-1 is at least 20% of the length of the tapering end portion 3-2a.
  • the first inclination and the second inclination may define a convex profile of the dielectric fluid medium side end portion. It is to be noted that other profile shapes of the tapering dielectric fluid medium side end portion are also envisaged. Moreover, embodiments with more than one inclination change in the axial direction are also contemplated.
  • the axial location where the first portion 4-1 joins the second portion 4-2 may be selected depending on the particular application. Such selection may for instance be based on computer simulations of the resistive voltage distribution on the condenser core for that application for different inclinations and different axial locations of where the first portion 4-1 joins the second portion 4-2. The selection of inclination values and location where the first portion 4-1 joins the second portion 4-2 is determined based on the most advantageous resistive voltage distribution for that application.
  • the surface 3a of the condenser core 3 may be machined during manufacturing so as to provide the first portion 4-1 with the first inclination 1-1 and the second portion 4-2 with the second inclination 1-2.
  • the condenser core 3 may for instance comprise a cellulose material such as paper.

  • each intermediate conductive layer C-2, C-3 either defines an intermediate step by itself, or forms an intermediate step together with one or more adjacent conductive layers, if several adjacent conductive layers have edges at the same axial position.
  • the radial distance ⁇ r(x) between the edges of the conductive layers and the surface 3a of the condenser core 3 varies in the axial direction X in the tapering end portion 3-2a of the bushing 1.
  • variations of the bushing where the radial distance is constant i.e. when the edges of the conductive core follow the profile of the condenser core and thus are located at the same or essentially the same radial distance from the surface of the tapered end portion are not envisaged by the present invention.
  • the distance between the edges and the surface of the condenser core can be controlled.
  • two degrees of freedom can be obtained for the bushing design, increasing the possibility of creating a bushing design with good creep stress characteristics.
  • the tangent T between the edge E-1 of the innermost conductive layer C-1 and the edge E-4 of the outermost conductive layer C-4 is not tangential to at least one edge of a conductive layer C-2, C-3 arranged between the innermost conductive layer C-1 and the outermost conductive layer C-4.
