Definitions
- the object of the invention is a low-voltage, single-pole, simple and inexpensive busbar bushing and, therefore, especially suitable for urban electric distribution transformers with intensities less than 1000 amps but which ensures a good tightness of the connection, as well as resistance to the rotation of the bushing.
- the bushing consists of a small number of parts that can be easily assembled and disassembled, without the need to use screws, nuts or welds, also allowing the replacement of parts exposed to the outside.
- the bushings are intended to allow the connection of the low voltage cables to the transformer and are generally constituted by a conductive element that, by one of its ends is submerged in the oil or dielectric liquid that fills the transformer tank and connected to the phases of the same, while at the other end emerges, through the cover of the transformer, being accessible for the operator to make the corresponding connections to the low voltage cables.
- the passage of the conductive element through the cover of the transformer is carried out by means of insulating elements that are configured and sized to prevent an arc from jumping electrical between the elements in tension and those metallic parts connected to ground potential, such as the cover of the transformer.
- the ceramic bushings are constituted by a pair of ceramic cups that are arranged on each side of the transformer cover, one being inside the transformer and the other outside the same, counting these ceramic cups with a central hole through which inside, a stud of conductive material that is connected passes through its lower end to the phases of the transformer and through the other end accesses the outside for the connection of low voltage cables.
- the conductive stud has at its free end a thread in which the corresponding nut that stiffens and consolidates the clamping assembly that keeps the ceramic cups fixed on the transformer cover is tightened.
- the low voltage cables can be made directly on the free terminal of the metal stud or through a metal shovel, which is hugged and tightened by means of screws on the said stud, and which has a flat part or shovel itself with a series of holes for the tie up of low voltage cables.
- This type of bushing mainly has two drawbacks, first of all, the fragility of ceramic cups that can be broken or broken easily, producing a shunt of intensity, and secondly the fact that they do not present anti-rotation resistance, that is, in the event that electrodynamic tensions occur in the low voltage cables, the bushing could rotate, thus causing an approach and even the contact between the phases inside the transformer, resulting in short circuits.
- the busbars can be used, in which the conductive element is constituted by a metal plate that has, in the part that is housed inside the transformer, with two holes for the connection to the phases of the transformer while that in the part that emerges outside the cover of the transformer also has a series of holes, generally four, to allow the output, vertically or horizontally, of the low voltage cables.
- This plate is embedded in a resin body or other materials such as polyester, which is screwed onto the transformer cover, thus serving as fastening and fixing of the plate to the transformer cover and as an insulating element that prevents arc generation between the cables and the transformer, both parts being indivisible by their own manufacturing method.
- This type of bushing is complemented generally with a gasket that is arranged between the lid and the resin body to ensure tightness and tightness at the junction with the transformer.
- the resin body of the bushing As for the connection between the resin body of the bushing and the transformer cover itself, the resin body usually has four through holes that are introduced in two studs previously welded onto the transformer cover, this connection being fixed by means of the corresponding nuts they are threaded at the free ends of the welded studs and which hold the resin body pressed, and therefore the bushing, against the transformer cover, thus achieving tightness.
- This type of bushing has the advantage that, due to the ceramic bushing, the advantage that by the constitution of the mooring, by means of four welded studs, it prevents the bushing from rotating but, on the contrary, it has a higher cost than that of the ceramic bushing, which are usually not used for low intensities, with ceramic bushings being preferred in these cases.
- the bushing object of the invention is a bushing bushing, that is, in which the conductive element is constituted by a metal plate with holes for electrical connections, both inside the transformer and externally to the cables of low voltage, but it has the peculiarity that instead of being constituted as a compact element in which the conductive plate is embedded in a resin body, it is constituted by two pieces that can be attached to each other that are mounted quickly and easily, No need to use screws, nuts or welds. With this configuration, the fabrication and assembly of the bushing is easier and cheaper than with the current bushing of the busbar so it can even be used for intensities below 1000 A. In addition, it is also possible to disassemble the external parts when necessary any repair or replacement thereof.
- the bushing object of the invention is constituted by a lower back cover and an upper cover or cup that are coupled together, both elements having a through groove for the introduction of the connection bar or plate, completing the bushing with quick fasteners of the assembly and with a series of gaskets.
- the lower back cover is constituted by a body proper, as a turret, which is topped off in a horizontal widening, as a flange, which will act as a stop against the inner part of the transformer's own cover remaining inside it
- the upper bowl has a more or less flared shape with an internal emptying, complementary to the external shape of the body or turret of the lower cover, which is coupled over it covering it completely and leaving the bowl resting on the lid of the transformer .
- the upper bowl is the only part that is exposed to the outside of the transformer, so if the bushing suffers a blow, it will probably only affect the upper bowl that can be easily removed and replaced on-site, "without the need Send the transformer to the factory for opening and disassembly of the bushing.
- both the bowl and the lower back cover are made of composite material, organic matrix and additional loads and, preferably of polyester with fiberglass, which make it much more resistant than ceramic bushings while much simpler and cheaper to manufacture than the bushing of bar embedded in synthetic resins.
- the oblong shape of the passage hole of the transformer cover, into which the turret of the lower back cover is inserted also noticeably oblong, means that although the cables exert a pair on the bushing, it is impeded in its turn, thus complying with the anti-rotation regulations required for the bushings.
- the shape of the hole in the transformer cover and the body or turret of the lower back cover could have an oval, elliptical or any other configuration, except the circular one, in order to be able to accommodate inside the connection bar or plate and prevent its rotation inside the hole of the transformer cover.
- both the lower cover and the upper bowl have a through groove, through which the connection bar or plate is mounted, a plate that presents, in addition to the typical holes for the connection of the electrical phases, two upper and two lower holes that allow the interlocking of two fixing pins.
- Pins will be located inside the transformer tank and support the lower cover, while the upper pins are arranged on the upper bowl keeping it pressed against the transformer cover and thus acting as the only fixing elements of the bushing to the transformer, without the need for welding or screwing. Thus the necessary tightening is achieved for the optimal work of the joints that pursue the tightness of the solution.
- the lower back cover has a central recess at its upper end, determining a housing that surrounds the connection plate, inside which there is a sealing gasket that will be fixed against said plate by the pressure exerted by an inner skirt provided in the bowl upper, thus avoiding leakage of oil or dielectric liquid from the transformer through the hole in the connection plate.
- the upper bowl has, on its lower support edge on the transformer cover, an inner and perimeter channel intended to house a seal that prevents the escape of oil or dielectric liquid through the hole in the transformer lid.
- the upper bowl also has a perimeter wing, as a roof, which is intended to derive possible electric currents from the upper bowl to the transformer cover.
- this perimeter wing has the function of increasing the leakage line, that is, the distance between the parts under tension and mass, to reduce the risk of failure or arc over the transformer cover in case of contamination of the surface by pollution or Decantation of volatile elements.
- the bushing assembly would be as follows:
- the transformer phases are connected to the bushing connection plate.
- the fixing pins are inserted in the lower hole of the connection plate.
- the lower cover is placed, which will be held by the lower pins.
- the body of the lower back cover is passed through the hole provided in the cover of the transformer, until the perimeter flange of the same stops against the lower face of the cover, leaving the body of the back cover emerging outward from the transformer cover as well as the conductive connection plate.
- This bushing therefore allows quick and easy assembly without the need for welding or screwing, as well as the disassembly of the same if necessary and also, the non-circular configuration of the assembly prevents the bushing from rotating.
- connection plate usually of copper
- another plate of similar dimensions and shapes but, in another material with lower conductivity, such as aluminum or brass and the bushing would be suitable for a range of lower intensities.
- the bushing of the bar is not used, for its high cost, for intensities below 1250 A
- the bushing of our invention could be adapted to different intensities, simply using different plates, thus optimizing the cost of the assembly, that is, that the transformer manufacturer instead of having to have a spare parts warehouse with different bushings for the different intensities, would simply need a series of lower covers and upper cups, always the same, that would be combined, according to the needs, with different connection bars, thus obtaining valid bushing for different intensities.
- Figure 1 shows an exploded perspective of the bushing object of the invention, in which all the elements that compose it are observed in the sequence of assembly described above.
- Figure 2. Shows a perspective of a bushing object of the invention, in mounting position on the transformer cover.
- Figure 3. Shows a front section of the bushing in mounting position.
- Figure 4. It shows a side section of the bushing in mounting position, including an enlarged detail of the sealing gasket that is disposed between the lower cover and the upper cup thereof.
- the bar bushing of the invention in addition to the necessary busbar or connection plate (1) is mainly composed of a lower back cover (2) and an upper cover or bowl (3) , counting both pieces with a longitudinal groove (4) that crosses them completely to allow the passage of said connection plate
- the lower back cover (2) is formed by a flat flange (5) that has an upper projection, like a turret, of approximately oblong section, of according to the cross section of the plate (1), turret (6) that is intended to pass through the hole (7), also oblong, provided in the cover (8) of the transformer, until the flange (5 ) is attached to the aforementioned cover (8) on the inside.
- the lower back cover (2) is housed inside the transformer tank but its turret (6) is emerging outside the transformer and housed in the hole (7), oblong, which prevents rotation of the lower cover (2) and therefore of the bushing.
- the bowl (3) has a flared shape with a large internal emptying, of shape and dimensions complementary to the external shape of the turret (6) of the lower back cover (2), in order to engage without gaps on it, leaving the bowl resting on the cover (8) of the transformer.
- the bowl (3) is mounted from the outside on the lower cover (2), covering it completely and protecting it from possible damage or damage since, as will be described later, the bowl (3) can be easily replaced from the outside, while The lower cover (2) cannot be manipulated without accessing the inside of the transformer tank.
- the assembly of the bowl on the lower cover (2) is clearly seen in Figure 2.
- connection plate (1) in addition to the lower holes (9) for connection to the transformer phases and the upper holes (10) for connection to low voltage cables, it has a series of holes additional (11) and (12), in which pins (20) that hold the lower cover (2) and hold the upper bowl (3) against the cover (8) of the transformer.
- the plate (1) has a pair of holes (11) provided in the lower part of the plate (1) but located above the connection holes (9), and a second pair of holes (12), parallel to the previous ones but located above these at a distance approximately equal to the height of the assembly formed by the bowl (3), the lower back cover (2), the transformer cover and the rubber gaskets in mounting position, such that the pins housed in the lower holes (11) hold the lower cover (2), since it is supported on the pins, while the pins that are housed in the upper holes (12), are positioned on the bowl, keeping it pressed against the cover (8) of the transformer.
- both the upper edge of the bowl (3), and the lower face of the back cover (2) have notches or recesses (21) in which they are positioned, stably, the aforementioned pins (20).
- the turret (6) of the lower back cover (2) has a central recess at its upper end
- connection plate (1) determining a housing that surrounds the connection plate (1) and inside which a sealing gasket (14) is provided that will be fixed against said connection plate (1) by the pressure exerted by an inner skirt ( 15) provided in the upper bowl (3), thus avoiding leakage of oil or dielectric liquid from the transformer through the hole of step of the connection plate (1).
- the upper bowl (3) has, on its lower edge (16) supporting the transformer cover (8), an inner and perimeter channel (17) intended to accommodate a sealing gasket (18) that prevents oil leakage or dielectric liquid through the hole (7) of the cover (8) of the transformer.
- the bottom surface of the skirt (15) and the base of the recess (13) that determine the housing of the joint (14), have a slight inclination or chamfering, so that the sealing gasket (14) has a tendency to crush against the plate (1), thus guaranteeing its proper functioning.
- the bowl (3) has on its outer surface a perimetral wing (19) that constitutes a kind of roof, in order to determine a space or jump with respect to the transformer cover, a jump that allows to redirect towards the transformer cover leakage currents of the bushing.
- Both the lower cover (2) and the upper cup (3) are made of organic matrix composite material with additional loads and, preferably, of fiberglass polyester, so that the bushing has a greater resistance to breakage than the current ceramic bushings and, on the other hand, greater simplicity in manufacturing, and consequently lower cost, than bar bushes made of resins in which the connection plate is embedded.
- the assembly thereof on the transformer cover is carried out quickly and easily, without using screws, nuts or welds and, in particular, as follows:
- connection plate (1) The phases of the transformer are connected to the connection plate (1), through the holes (9) provided for this purpose. This connection is made inside the transformer tank.
- the back cover (2) is mounted on the plate (1), introducing the plate through the hole (4) of the aforementioned cover (2), until it is resting on the pins (20) previously introduced in the holes (11). - The turret (6) of the lower back cover (2) is passed through the oblong hole (7) provided in the cover (8) of the transformer, until the perimeter flange (5) of the same stops against the face bottom of the cover (8), with the turret (6) emerging outward from the cover (8) of the transformer.
- the upper bowl (3) is coupled on the lower cover (2) causing it to slide on the plate (1) through its hole (4).
- the bowl (3) slides until it completely covers the turret (6) and is left with its bottom edge (16) resting on the cover (8) of the transformer.
- the bowl (3) is compressed on the back cover bottom (2), so that it is possible to insert the pins (20) into the upper holes (12) of the connection plate (1).
- the tool is removed, leaving the bowl mounted under pressure against the lower cover (2) and against the cover (8) of the transformer.
- this bushing also allows that with the same parts, that is the lower cover (2) and the upper bowl (3), connection plates (1) of different materials are used, for example with different conductivities, thus being able to use the bushing for different ranges of intensities depending on the connection plate used.
