  • gas-filled bushing over the conventional bushings is the absence of paper, oil, compounds, etc., which support combustion in case of fire, and can be a considerable hazard to the electrical apparatus and operating conditions.
  • the materials for the proposed gas filled bushing 12 are preferably noninflammable.
  • the proposed gas-filled bushing offers a bushing with good electrical characteristics, simple of design, of very economical construction, having desirable manufacturing features and is very light in weight.
  • gas-filled terminal bushing of the present invention is not confined to use on gas-filled circuit-interrupting structure, but may also be employed on other types of apparatus, such as power transformers.
  • the power transformer is [gas-filled
  • the gas from the transformer may be employed to fill the terminal bushing 12, as was the case with the gas-filled circuit-interrupting apparatus of FIG. 1.
  • any sudden pressure arising within the tank structures 2 during interrupting conditions will not be transmitted immediately to the porcelain shells 21, 30, which might result in their fracture.
  • the small gas communication hole 39 permits only a gradual transmission of gas flow from the gas-filled apparatus 1 into the interior of the terminal bushing construction.
  • this loss of pressure would withdraw more gas from the tank structure 2 into the terminal bushing 12, and this process would trip the circuit-breaker alarm system.
  • the single alarm system for the circuit-interrupting structure 1 serves not only as an alarm for the tank structures 2, but also for the terminal bushings 12, 13 themselves.
  • the employment of a heavy gas, such as SP will permit the terminal bushing 12 to be removed from the gas-filled apparatus 2, or from a gas-filled power transformer apparatus, with which it may possibly be associated, and due to the heavy weight of the gas, the gas disposed within the interior 43 of the terminal bushing would not tend to fiow out of the terminal bushing 12 following its removal from the associated gas-filled apparatus. If the opening 39 were disposed at the lower end of the ter' rninal bushing 12, the heavy gas might leak out of the terminal bushing 12 following its removal from the gastilled apparatus.
  • the terminal bushing 12 may be removed from the gas-filled apparatus without fear of loss of the gas within the bushing, and entrance of contaminated air, possibly moistureladen.
  • any good dielectric gas may be employed, such as sulfur-hexafluoride (SP selenium hex-afluoride (SeF or mixtures of either one or both of said gases with nitrogen, air, argon, helium and carbon dioxide.
  • SP selenium hex-afluoride SeF or mixtures of either one or both of said gases with nitrogen, air, argon, helium and carbon dioxide.
  • CCI F octofluoropropane C F Freon 12
  • CSF trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride
  • gas-filled electrical apparatus such as a circuit interrupting structure, transformer struc ture, or the like and a gas-filled terminal bushing associated with said gas-filled electrical apparatus of gas passage meansinterconnecting the gas-filled electrical apparatus and the gas-filled terminal bushing, whereby the gas-filled terminal bushing obtains its dielectric gas from the gas-filled electrical apparatus through said gas passage means, the conductor stud of the gas-filled terminal bushing lbeing tubular and constituting a part of said gas passage means, and a filter cartridge disposed within said tubular conductor stud to filter the gas entering the gas-filled terminal bushing.
  • gas-filled electrical apparatus such as a circuit interrupting structure, transformer struc ture, or the like
  • gas-filled terminal bushing associated with said gas-filled electrical apparatus of gas passage meansinterconnecting the gas-filled electrical apparatus and the gas-filled terminal bushing, whereby the gas-filled terminal bushing obtains its dielectric gas from the gas-filled electrical apparatus through said gas passage means, the conductor stud of the gas-filled terminal bushing
  • a gas-filled terminal bushing including a compression spring assembly disposed adjacent one end thereof, an elongated tubular gas conducting conductor stud secured to the compression spring assembly at one end thereof, a pair of surrounding insulating shells one of which engages said compression spring assembly in abutting fashion, a ground flange assembly interposed between the pair of insulating shells, a terminal plate assembly secured to the other end of said elongated tubular gas conducting conductor stud and engaging the other insulating shell in abutting fashion, said compression spring assembly including a spring plate flange portion having a restricted opening provided therein, which communicates with the space interiorly of the tubular gas conducting conductor stud, the other end of said restricted opening communicating with the space interiorly of the pair of insulating shells whereby gas may fill the interior of the terminal bushing for increasing the dielectric strength therein, and the compression spring assembly subjecting the tubular gas conducting conductor stud to tensile stress and the shells in flange assembly to compressive stress, and said dielectric gase
  • a gas-filled terminal bushing construction wherein a pair of insulating shells and an interposed ground flange assembly surround a bare axially extending conductor stud, characterized by the combination of a potential tap assembly including an electrically floating metallic potential cylinder disposed inside of the ground flange assembly yet spaced therefrom, said bare metallic potential cylinder being wholly disposed interiorly of the pair of shells and ground flange assembly, means for fixedly mounting said electrically floating metallic bare potential cylinder into a relatively fixed position comprising a pair of insulating annular support members, and means for securing said pair of insulating annular support members adjacent opposite ends of said interposed ground flange assembly.
  • gas-filled electrical apparatus such as circuit-interrupting structure, transformer structure, or the like including a tank filled with dielectric gas, a gas-filled terminal bushing extending through the wall of said tank and secured thereto, a tubular conductor stud extending axially through the gas-filled terminal bushing for carrying electrical current from exteriorly of said tank to the region interiorly thereof, gas-passage means inter-connecting the interior of said gas filled tank and the interior of the gas-filled terminal bushing whereby the gas-filled terminal bushing obtains its dielectric gas from the gas-filled electrical apparatus, and said tubular conductor stud being the sole communicating gas-passage means between the gas-fi1led electrical apparatus and the interior of the gas-filled terminal bushing.
