Main insulation of the RIP – transformer bushing
10
®
STARIP /-Si is an insulating body (20). It is made of
11
a special paper impregnated with epoxy resin under 12
vacuum and wound onto a central tube (19) made of 13
aluminium and coaxially placed grading layers (24) 14
made of aluminium foil to provide uniform voltage 15
distribution. On the transformer side end the inner 16
diameter is increased to accommodate the draw lead 17
insulation, it is screened by an integrated shield 18
19
electrode (32). B 20
This insulating body is installed in a housing, which
21
for type STARIP® (A) is a porcelain housing (16)
cemented into the bushing flange (29) by Portland 22
cement (25) and sealed by O-rings (26). The head 23
armature is pressed on by plate springs (12).
24
For type STARIP®-Si (B) the housing is made of fibre
glass re-inforced epoxy resin tube (23) with sheds 25
made of silicone elastomere vulcanized onto it. The
bushing flange and the head are glued to the housing
tube in a special process and the sheds are 26
vulcanized onto the tube. This type does not have a
spring bracing, because the head armature bears 27
itself.
28
The gap between the insulating housing and the
insulating body is filled with a dry filler (15), a flexible
PU-elastomere, which provides an adhesive joint 29
between surfaces. Therefore these types cannot be
disassembled. 30
The flange made of weather-resistant aluminium alloy
31
(29) is equipped with test tap (27), lifting eyes (28)
and grounding screws (30). The threaded bores can 32
be used for air release screws in case of glued
sealing bearer. D
Fig.5
® ®
®
The head of the bushing type STARIP (A) consists
of a cover (11) to close the porcelain housing and
plate springs (12), which transmit their compressive 1
C 2
force to the porcelain housing via the thrust ring (10) 3 A
and the bracing nut (9) screwed to the end of the 4
central tube. 5
6
Cover and thrust ring are made of aluminium alloy, 7
8
the bracing nut is made of brass. In the top the 9
bracing nut has a slit and a clamp screw (3). This 10
fixes the draw lead bolt (2). In this area the draw lead 11
bolt has two shafts (5), into one of which the locking 12
screw (4,13)) locks depending upon the position of 13
the bolt. On the front side of the bolt there is a screw 14
M12 (1) to pull through the bolt with soldered 15
transformer lead. On the outer side of the locking nut 16
there is an air release screw (8) for air release of the 17
central tube.
18
19
B 20
The head of type STARIP®-Si (B) has the same
21
construction in the area of the bolt clamping. The
cover (18) is glued to the composite housing,
22
therefore no spring bracing is required and the 23
clamping element (14) for the draw lead bolt is 24
screwed directly to the cover. To avoid corrosion a
non-corrosive steel washer (17) is placed between 25
cover and clamping element. As in the STARIP®
design the central air release screw is located on the
outer side. 26
In addition to the draw lead design (A and B) there is 27

a design with solid conductor bolt, which is fixed in 28
the bushing head in the same way as the draw lead
bolt. Another design is the undetachable conductor
bolt (C and D) which is impregnated directly into the 29
core instead of the central tube. In this case no bolt
clamping in the head is required. A thrust washer (6) 30
serves as corrosion protection and also presses the
upper bolt sealed tight. On the transformer side end 31
the bolt has a fixed, undetachable O-ring sealing 32
(31).
D
All sealings are made of oil-resistant Perbunan, the
bolt sealings (21) are designed as Fig.5
double radial sealings

2 Montage
2.1 Status of Dispatch
The bushing is dispatched in a ventilated wooden crate. It is supported
by styro foam cushions, which are located in the porcelain area and at
the bushing flange for the porcelain type and for the silicone type at
the bushing head and at the flange. In case of bigger bushings the
flange is supported by wooden cross beams.
The whole bushing is sealed in plastic foil with desiccant bags added.
(Fig.6)
In this packaging the bushing can be stored in dry rooms covered by a

roof for 12 months.
When the bushing is packed in aluminium coated foil instead of plastic
foil it can be stored for 24 months under the same conditions. Fig. 6
Longterm storage, e.g. for spare parts, can only be made when the
transformer side end of the bushing is covered by a metal protection
tank with oil filling. The oil filling does not require any special
maintenance measures apart from visual checks for leakages.
(also see item 7.0)
2.2 Handling
To remove the bushing from its crate the type STARIP® can be lifted
and put down at the flange and at the porcelain housing with plastic
Surface influenced
ropes or loops. The type STARIP®-Si can be lifted and put down at the by moisture
head and at the flange only, because lifting at the silicone insulator
can lead to damages of the sheds, putting the bushing down at the
insulator leads to a deformation of the sheds.
The bushing must not be put down on the transformer side end. Even
in case of a suitable upholstering there is the danger that in case of
bumps cracks develop in the insulating material, which may be not
visible, but jeopardize later operation of the bushing.
When the transformer side end of the bushing is not protected, it can
by handled outside for a short period of time during dry weather.
Longer storage, e.g. during rain, is not permitted. The material RIP is
hygroscope and absorbs moisture on the surface, which has a
Dry surface
negative influence on the operating behavior on the transformer.
When bushings with clear traces of the influence of humidity are Fig. 7
detected, contact the manufacturer.
See comparative picture on the left hand side. (Fig.7)
® ®
2.3 Lifting and Erection
Use the lifting eyes on the flange to lift the bushing. On
the front side of the connecting bolt there is a screw M12.
Into the thread of this screw a lifting eye can be fixed.
This lifting eye serves as second lifting point.
The bushing is lifted with the help of two lifting devices.

This way any required inclined position can be achieved
for the installation on the transformer (Fig. 8). Smaller
bushings with a weight below 50 kgs can be lifted at the
ring screw. The transformer side end of the bushing can
be guided manually.
Bigger bushings can also be lifted with only one lifting

device. For this purpose the ropes or loops are led from
the crane shackle to the bushing flange. Another lifting
device, e.g. a pulley, is fixed in the same shackle and its
ropes or loops are led to the bushing head. By pulling the
pulley the lengths of both ropes or loops are adjusted in
such a way that the crane shackle is located above the
center of gravity of the bushing. The inclination is
achieved by further pulling of the pulley.
Caution: The lengths of both parts, i.e. rope and pulley

have to be chosen in such a way, that the permitted
diagonal pull at the eyes does not exceed the permitted Fig.8
angle! (60° from axis direction of the lifting eye)
In no case the bushing must be put down with its lower

insulating end for erection purposes. This may cause
invisible cracks which jeopardize the operating behavior.
2.4 Preparation for Mounting

After the bushing was removed from the packaging it has
to be put down on bearing blocks at the flange and at the
head. The plastic foil is removed – do not use a knife for
bushings of type STARIP®-Si, because the silicone
sheds may be damaged.
The transformer side end of the bushing has to be
thoroughly cleaned if necessary. Do not use heavily
vaporizing solvents.

2.4.1 STARIP® Disassembly Draw Lead Bolt, detachable
Conductor Bolt Fig.9
®
At the head of the bushing type STARIP there are following
parts: (Fig.12)
1 Thrust washer (Fig.5/10)

2 Air release screw central tube (Fig.5/8)
3 Locking screw (Fig.5/4,13)
4 Sealing draw lead bolt radial O-rings (Fig.5/5) Fig.10
5 Clamping screw(Fig.5/3)
6 Bracing nut with slit for bolt clamping (Fig.5/9)
To disassemble the draw lead or conductor bolt first the clamping

screw (5) and the locking screw (3) have to be loosened (Fig.9).
1
After that the bolt is pushed into the bushing by slight beats with
2
a mallet (Fig.10). This is necessary because the friction in the
sealing of the draw lead bolt (4) has to be overcome. The draw Fig.12
3
lead bolt is pushed through the bottom end of the bushing
(Fig.11) with the help of a rod (wood or similar)
4

6
Fig.11
2.4.2 STARIP®-Si Disassembly Draw Lead Bolt
The head of the bushing type STARIP-Si consists of following

parts: (Fig.14)
7 Clamping element (Fig.5/14)

8 O-ring sealing side clamping element (Fig.5/17)
Fig.13
9 Draw lead bolt (Fig.5/2)
10 Disc (Fig.5/17)
11 O-ring sealing side cover (Fig.5/17)
12 Cover (Fig.5/18)
13 Fixing screws for (7)
First the four screws (11) for the clamping element (7) are
loosened. Then the whole clamping element including draw lead
bolt or conductor bolt can pulled out of the bushing (Fig.15).
As clamping and sealing of the bolt have the same design as for
the bushing type STARIP®, after that - as described above - the
locking screw (3) and the clamping screw (5) have to be loosened
and the bolt has to be pushed out.
7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Note: In case of a detachable conductor bolt this bolt has to be Fig.14
removed only, if it is required by the arrangement in the
transformer.
The connection to the transformer lead can now be made. The

bore to solder the transformer lead has to be made according to
the requirements, max. Ø30 and max. 70mm deep. Fig.15
® ®
2.5 Mounting Draw Lead Bolt
When the bushing is mounted on the transformer the
draw lead bolt with soldered transformer lead is pulled
upwards through the bushing with the help of a pulling
wire or rod while the bushing is led down onto the
transformer until the draw lead bolt comes out of the
bushing head.
(Example pulling wire see Fig.16).
Make sure that the diameter of the pulling accessories

Fig.16
including their fastening material does not exceed Ø30
mm to avoid a damage of the O-ring while pulling them
through.
The bold has a conical beginning. When the end of the

cone with its big Ø is located flush with the clamping
armature, the upper of the two shafts is at the same
position as the locking screw (Fig.12/3) and this screw
can be slightly fastened. After that the clamping screw is
fastened (Fig.12/5) with a torque of 18 Nm. At an interval
of 8 mm there is the second shaft. If for tolerance
reasons the main lead has to be more tense, the second
position can be chosen for the draw lead bolt.
Finally the threaded bore at the front side of the bolt has 1 Fig.17
to be shut with screw and sealing.
In case a solid, detachable conductor bolt has to be

pulled through, we recommend to use a pulling rod (no
through-going threaded rod, because the O-rings to seal
screw torque(Nm) torque(kpm)
the bolt may be damaged).
3 Installation Bushing on the Transformer

The bushing is mounted on the transformer following the
handling instructions for the draw lead or detachable
conductor bolt described in 2.3 in reverse sequence.
When introducing to the transformer has to be paid

attention that the core of the bushing not crash into the
edge of the opening
The given values are reference values and
If available follow the instructions of the transformer refer to bolted joints with stainless steel

parts. If used with flat gaskets, adequate
If no specifications are existing, the fastening screws external brace support is required.
have to be tighten for the bushing flange according to
Fig.18
table (Fig.18)
® ®
3.1 Grounding of the Bushing Flange
The bushing flange has grounding screws. The
flange has to be connected to the transformer tank
by grounding bands or cables. Apart from the
observation of several national rules this guarantees
faultless galvanic connection. It is possible to
achieve grounding by a screw with tip. This screw
(M12) has to be closed with a cap nut to protect it
against torsion and corrosion.
4 Putting into operation

4.1 Air Release at the Bushing Flange Head
Before putting the bushing into operation air has to be
released from the central tube at the screw (1, Fig. 3
17) and air bubbles in the flange area with the screw
(2, Fig.19). The screw (3, Fig.19) must not be
opened, it is used to fill the bushing with dry filler. 2
4.2 Evacuation of the Transformer

If the transformer has to be evacuated there are no
restrictions regarding level and duration up to the
operating temperature of the bushing. The material
RIP is suitable for such treatment. Fig.19
4.3 Recommended Checks before putting into

Operation
Visual check of all visible parts of the bushing with

respect to external damages, all screws being
fixed and tight acc. to instructions, cover of the
test tap being tightly closed
A leakage check is possible only to a limited

extend on the mounted bushing, because the
transformer oil reaches up to the flange, but in
case of vertically installed bushing not up to the
head. The double sealings at the bolt guarantee
reliable sealing.
® ®
4.4 Electrical Measurements
The bushings are certified suitable for operation by the routine 1
tests carried out before delivery.
It is useful and therefore recommended to carry out a reference 2

measurement on site. This guarantees that is case of later
control measurements the measuring conditions are the same 3
and comparable results are achieved.
For some transformers these measurements are carried out
before the transformer is delivered. In this case comparative 4
data is available already.
Measurements include the bushing capacitance as main

5
capacitance C1 and the dielectric loss factor tan delta.
Measurement of the capacitance between the last grading layer
C2 and the flange is possible, but it does not provide any
information about the main insulation. It only shows the
condition in the area of the test tap.
Description of the procedure see item 5.3.1
Fig.20
4.5 Test Tap
The last layer of the capacitive grading is led out insulated at the
bushing flange via a small auxiliary bushing Fig. 20 (2). The
contact pin (1) is suitable for the connection of test plugs with a
Ø of 4mm. The cover (3) has a contact socket (5) into which the
contact pin locks when the cap is closed and provides a reliable
grounding of the grading. The cover is protected against
penetration of moisture by an O-ring sealing (4).
Circuit diagram of the test tap arrangement see Fig. 21
The test taps are not self-grounding! Therefore during operation

the cap has to be closed always!
5 Maintenance
5.1 Recommended Maintenance and Checks
The bushing is free of maintenance. Check and maintenance
Fig.21
refer specifically to the insulator and its condition and the
armatures and their condition regarding corrosion. This type of
check should be carried out once per year or together with
transformer revision. C1 main capacitane
C2 flange capacitane
1 capacitive grading
We recommend to carry out electrical measurements of the 2 flange
bushing after the first 5 years of operation, after that depending 3 test tap
upon the measurement results every 3 years or in shorter
intervals. (see item 5.3.3)
® ®
5.2 STARIP®-Si Cleaning of the Insulator Surface
The silicone compound insulator should not be cleaned
regularly. It’s good features regarding pollution are heavily
influenced temporarily by cleaning, because on the surface
there is a water-repellent coating which is removed by
cleaning.
Cleaning is performed with cloths free of fluffs and soaked

with cleaning liquid. As the sheds are flexible do not apply
heavy force, but rub more frequently with less force.
Cleaning liquid: Wacker E10 from Wacker Chemie, lot size
25 ltr. container, consumption 1 ltr. for approx. 3 – 5 m2 of
surface.
After cleaning the features return to their original condition

after approx. 1-2 days.
An approximate statement about the condition of this so-

called hydrophobicity is made by the HC-classification shown
on the left hand side.(Fig.22)
For testing purposes during wind-still, dry weather sufficiently

spray an area of the size of a hand with water from a spray
bottle from a distance of approx. 30 cm and compare the
image of the drops with the HC-table.(Fig.22)
Up to class HC 3 it can be assumed that the features are still
sufficient for the operation behavior.
It is only a roughly comparing procedure the result of which is

no guarantee for the operation behavior.
In addition the insulator should be checked for possible

discharge traces. Such traces must not occur, because they
damage the surface of the insulator in this area regarding its
hydrophobicity. In such a case the cause for the discharges
has to be investigated.
Damages of the sheds or on the body, i.e. shearings, cannot

be repaired on site. In case of smaller faults repair in the
factory may be possible and have to be agreed upon with the
manufacturer.
Possible larger remainders of paint can be pulled off after

they have hardened – do not use solvents!
Fig.22
® ®
5.3 Electrical Measurements
Measurements on bushings require experience with measuring
.equipment, test set up and the interpretation of the measurement
results.
This is for some part due to the relatively small capacitance
values, which are corrupted by ambient influence of the
environment alone. This measurement of the dielectric
dissipation factor can be influenced by humidity, weather etc.
Example of a mobile
5.3.1 Measuring Procedures measuring equipment
Mainly the measuring procedures differ by the coupling of the

measuring signal. In case of so-called “not grounded”
measurements the test voltage is applied to the conductor of the
bushing and the measuring signal is taken at the test tap of the
bushing.
The “grounded” measuring procedure is applied, if the bushing
which has to be measured does not have a test tap. This is not
applicable for the bushings of the type range STARIP® and
STARIP®-Si.
The devices required for the measurement are usually equipped
specifically for the measurement of bushings. The measurement
methods are described in comprehensive manuals.
5.3.2 Equipment Fig.23

Measuring equipment is available from several manufacturers.
Data can be found in the internet or enquired at HSP. (Fig.23)
5.3.3 Limits
For the measurement the influence of the ambient temperature
has to be taken into consideration. In the diagram shown on the
9
left side for C and tan delta the variations through temperature H S P - R IP
8
are shown. (Fig. 24) tan d elta = f (T ) d elta C = f (T )
7
tan delta (% 0 )
For the material RIP, resin impregnated paper, there are limit
delta C (% 0 )
values for the deviation of the capacitance and the dielectric 5
dissipation factor with relation the „new value“. 4
This value is reliably deducted from the reference measurement 3
described under 4.4. 2
In case the deviances are larger than mentioned in the table 1
below, HSP has to be contacted in any case. When there are -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 1 00
very large deviations the bushing may have to be taken out of °C
operation.
Fig.24
Voltage Level C – Deviation
< 123 kV 10 %
≥ 123 kV 5%
Guide value tan delta 0.004 – 0.006
® ®
5.4 Thermo-Control by Means of Thermovision
If as a routine thermovision controls are carried out
in the installations following items have to be taken
into account for the bushings:
An increase of temperature by up to 40 K can as a
rule be detected at the external contact point, i.e.
the lead clamp and is not unusual. Higher
temperatures or excess temperatures during low
load should lead to a check of the contacts.
Irregularities in the temperatures along the outdoor
insulator length, though may be caused by hotspots
and have to be investigated more closely, if
necessary contact the manufacturer. (Fig.25)
Fig.25
6 Possibilities of repair
Repair is restricted to the parts accessible from
outside, because due to the construction
disassembly of the composite housing is not
possible.
These operating and maintenance instructions are

valid for the type STARIP®/STARIP®-Si, therefore in
case of a repair sectional drawings and parts lists
for explanation are necessary. If the case occurs the
documents can be ordered from HSP by quoting the
serial number and the specification number and will
be transmitted immediately. (Example of a sectional
drawing and a parts list (Fig. 26). Above that
depending upon repair requirements corresponding
short instructions can be given.
In case of internal failure the composite insulator

has to be destroyed to allow access to the inner
construction parts. We recommend to return the
bushing to the manufacturer, who has suitable
means and measures and professional investigation
methods.
Fig.26
® ®
7 Storage
In its original packaging the bushing can be stored in dry
rooms up to 12 months. If the bushing is packed in
aluminium coated foil with inlaid dehydrating bags, storage
time is 24 months.
Longterm storage, e.g. of spare bushings, is possible only

with protection tank on the transformer side. The material
RIP is hygroscope and can absorb humidity, especially in
case of long periods of storage. The protection tank is
made of spray-galvanized steel and is screwed with
sealings to the bushing flange. The tank has a screw
through which it is filled with insulating oil, 7% less than the
total volume as compensation volume in case of
temperature variations. This type of longterm storage has
the advantage that checks are limited to visual checks for
leakages.(Fig.27)
Protection tanks
8 Disposal after end of operation Fig.27

The bushing does not contain any liquids, the parts are
neither toxic, self-inflamable nor physically burdening. All
parts can be disposed of as industrial waste.
Following components:
- Porcelain (STARIP®),
- Silicone elastomere (STARIP®-Si)
- Fibre-glass re-inforced epoxy resin (STARIP-Si)
- Polyurethane Elastomere (dry filling)
- Epoxy resin impregnated special paper with aluminium
foils as layers
- Central tube and armatures made of aluminium alloys
- Draw lead or conductor bolt made of E-Cu
- Fastening elements, test tap, screws etc. made of
stainless steel, aluminium alloy or brass
As the insulating body is undetachably fixed to the

composite housing by the dry filler it is recommended to
cut the bushing above and underneath the flange and the
head several time for easy disposal. For type STARIP® the
porcelain housing has to be destroyed(Caution: Danger of
chipping!)
