PGFECondenser Bushings
bushings
Customer Benefits• Even voltage distribution
across the bushing thanks to the capacitance-graded condenser core.
• No deterioration of grounded part for CT installation real-ized internally and protected by porcelain.
• Belleville washers to absorb conductor dilatation and vibrations in service.
• Installation in any position.
Manufacturing of the bushing
The main electrical insulation is provided by a condenser body made of a continuous sheet of pure kraft paper bonded with pre-polymerised epoxy resin and wound around a tube or conductor rod.
During winding, a series of cylindrical semi-conducting foils made of graphite printed paper are inserted coaxially between the layers of paper. These foils assure the best possible distribution of the radial and longitudinal electrical gradient between the conductor and the fixing flange, which is grounded. Winding is computer-controlled, the final shape is ob-tained by subsequent machining on a lathe.
After winding, the bushing is placed in an oven for final polymerization of the resin.
Depending on the overall dimensions of the bushing, when the gradients are very low, the insulation can be achieved directly by a tube impregnated in epoxy resin and reinforced by a fiber glass filament winding.
AN ALSTOM COMPANY
Design, components and manufacturing tech-nology guarantee an average life time of over 40 years under normal operating conditions.
The bushing is designated as follows:PGFE.24.125.25000 P Condenser bushings
(“P” from the Italian word “Passante”) G Power generator F High current application (force cooled) E Epoxy resin bonded paper (ERBP)
24 Rated voltage in kV
125 BIL class in kV
25000 Rated current in A
Epoxy resin bonded paper for AC generators
PGFE are bushings designed for use on AC power generators. The dielectricinsulation is achieved by a capacitance-grade condenser body, for installation in any position.

The most common solutions and their respective maximum current ratings are:
Natural cooling up to about 10,000/12,000 A
Forced hydrogen cooling up to about 25,000 A
Forced water cooling up to about 45,000 A
All bushings are tested and have electrical and mechanical characteristics that comply with the main standards:
IEC 60137 “Bushings for alternating voltage above 1000 V”
ANsI/IEEE C57.19
Din 48123
The prevailing technical specification in the field of AC power generators (general Electric, siemens-Westinghouse, Mitsubishi, Alstom-ABB, ect.).
Test
Envelope
For outdoor application, the air side envelope is made of brown porcelain, with a creepage distance for very highly polluted atmospheres (31 mm/kV).
For indoor application, the air side envelope is made of porcelain or a tube impregnated in epoxy resin and reinforced by a fiber glass filament winding. The hydrogen side envelope can be made of porcelain or fila-ment winding tube.
Flange
The flange is made of low-permeability, stainless steel casting. It is made of aluminum only for low current ratings (natural cooling applications).
Gaskets
The o-ring type gaskets are made of FPM. They are compatible with the fluids they are in contact with. Air side, the gaskets are sealed to protect them effectively from polluting weather conditions.
Assembling
The porcelain and metal parts (top fixing plate, flange and bottom fixing plate) are coupled by means of springs, generally Belleville washer type springs, placed in the air side of the bushing. The Belleville washers are very effective against the vibration and impact load stress caused by the normal service of the bushing installed on the power generator.
The air and hydrogen side envelopes consist of two completely separate parts, and the flange is fixed between them. This design avoids any pos-sible movement of the flange during the life time of the bushing.
The space between the porcelain and condenser body is filled with dry insulating material (no fluids are used).
Current Rating
The PgFE bushing has been designed to satisfy any requirement in terms of current ratings and cooling method.
The inner conductor is made of an aluminum or copper tube.
