Understanding the Importance of Bushings in Transformers (for H.V. and L.V. Side)

Image
 Bushing in Transformer   Bushing is a critical component in the electrical transformer that helps to provide a safe and reliable connection between the high-voltage (H.V.) and low-voltage (L.V.) sides of the transformer. Bushings serve as an insulator and are designed to withstand high electrical and mechanical stresses. In this blog, we will explore the importance of bushings in transformers and discuss their functions on both the H.V. and L.V. sides. H.V. Bushings:   High-voltage bushings are designed to withstand the high electrical stresses present in the H.V. side of the transformer. They provide a safe and reliable connection between the H.V. winding and the outside world. The design of H.V. bushings typically includes a porcelain or composite insulator that is capable of withstanding high electrical and mechanical stresses. H.V. bushings can also be designed to include internal components such as tap changers or current transformers.   L.V. Bushings:   Low-voltage bushings are
