Q: Are Euromold bushings deadbreak
or loadbreak bushings? A: Euromold bushings are deadbreak
bushings. The power has to be switched off before the connector can be
disconnected from the bushing. |
Q: Is a PITO-E suitable for outdoor
use? A: Yes, a PITO-E is suitable for
outdoor use in medium polluted atmosphere. |
Q: What is a PITO-E? A: A PITO-E is a plug-in
termination, enabling to connect overhead lines or busbars to an Interface A
epoxy bushing. |
Q: What is an in-air bushing? A: The shaft of an in-air bushing
does not need to be immersed in oil. The creepage length over the surface is
long enough to install it in air and the epoxy material is resistant to UV
light. |
Q: What is the difference between
epoxy bushing and porcelain insulator? A: The Euromold epoxy bushings can
be connected to screened separable connectors, providing a screened
safe-to-touch connection. Porcelain insulators can be connected with
terminations, which are open connections and thus not safe-to-touch and
require larger clearance distances. |
Q: What is the function of a
bushing? A: Bushings are devices designed to
transmit electric energy through a grounded barrier, such as the wall of a
transformer or switchgear. The Euromold epoxy bushings provide an insulated
and screened connection between the conductors in the equipment and conductor
of the cable. |
Q: What is the maximum number of
cables which can be connected to a bushing? A: The maximum number of cables
which can be connected to a bushing, depends on the maximum allowed current,
on the stability of the arrangement and on the type of interface. Interface A
and B have a plug-in interface so maximum one cable can be connected in a
normal arrangement because a bail restraint is needed to hold connector in
place, multiple cable arrangement for these interfaces are only possible with
200T- or 200X-connectors. For other interfaces such as Interface C, a
multiple connections such as P2, P3, P4, ... are possible. |
Q: What is the maximum torque for
the fixing studs holding the bushing clamp? A: The maximum torque for the
fixing studs is not officially specified, but we recommend maximum 16Nm for
M10 and maximum 25Nm for M12 studs. |
Q: What is the temperature range of
the Euromold epoxy bushings? A: The temperature range in which a
Euromold bushing can operate is from -40°C to +115°C. |
