  • Page 3: Introduction

    Sesto San Giovanni, MI 20099 Italy Page 3 of 18 Tel. 02-24105.001 Introduction These instructions are applicable to the gas SF6 insulated HV wall bushings of the series PWS/PWHS and provide all information relevant to: • Safety aspects. • Transport conditions.
  • Page 4: Preliminary Operative Information

    The following notes are mandatory for personnel involved in wall bushing assembly. All problems detected during the bushing installation must be reported to the Foreman and to GE Grid Solutions RPV Supervisor. • The bushing is a pressurized device. Operations on the valves, pressure gauges, pipes, protective devices must be performed by qualified operators, with the proper equipment and respecting the instructions of this manual.

    Shock indicators of suitable sensitivity are fixed on the crate walls. They turn the status when the shock exceeds the indicator trigger level. GE Grid Solutions RPV will not respond of any damage due to un-proper operations. Removal or damage of the shock recorders will cause the interruption of the warranty.
  • Page 6: Storage Conditions

    Technical characteristics PWS and PWHS bushings are based on gas technology (pure SF6 or SF6-N2 mixture). The electric field is controlled by suitable electrodes that are placed inside and outside the bushing. The internal electrical strength capability is ensured by the gas density, while the external withstand capability is ensured by composite insulators of adequate length and creepage distance.

    The bushing is shipped in slight overpressure of SF6 gas (See Chapter 5.1). If the pressure is positive proceed in the operation as follows, unless contact GE Grid Solutions RPV Supervisor for additional instructions. Install a calibrated vacuum / pressure digital gauge to one DILO valve on the bushing •...
