Installation Manual
Product information
Introduction
High-voltage (primary) bushings are designed for external
mounting (and removal) on pad-mounted transformers,
filled with transformer oil, Envirotemp™ FR3™ fluid, or an
approved equivalent. Modified versions of these bushings
are also available for applications with SF
6
. They are to be
installed inside cubicles. High-voltage (primary) bushings are
used for connecting the high-voltage cables outside of the
tank to the primary leads on the inside of the tank through
the tank wall.

Acceptance and initial inspection
Each high-voltage bushing is in good condition when
accepted by the carrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect
the shipping container for signs of damage. Unpack the
high-voltage bushing and inspect it thoroughly for damage
incurred during shipment. If damage is discovered, file a
claim with the carrier immediately.
Handling and storage
Be careful during handling and storage of the high-voltage
bushing to minimize the possibility of damage. If the high-
voltage bushing is to be stored for any length of time prior
to installation, provide a clean, dry storage area.
