compartment
Assembly directly on the cable  Transformer compartment completely

closed
Compartment has to be opened and sealed at manufacturing site
Treatment of oil  Testing of transformer at manufacturing site
Expansion box necessary in horizontal  No expensive oil works on site
application  Quick assembly

HV-CONNEX Pluggable Bushings
Initially designed for testing purposes, pluggable bushings were introduced
already 20 years ago
Principle of a pluggable HV-CONNEX Bushing
Bushing
■ For conventional bushing, field control

inside and outside transformer is in one
piece
■ Pluggable bushings have two parts. One
integrated in the transformer (socket), the
other consists of the conventional part
and a plug connector
■ Socket is permanently installed in the
Connector transformer and air and oil tight
■ Bushing is connected by plugging in
■ Connection is done automatically in the
Socket
socket during the plugging process
Benefit of a pluggable Bushing
■ Flexibility even for high voltage equipment

becomes more and more important
■ Very short connection and disconnection time
■ No oil or gas works on site due to dry system
■ Connection of Transformer by cable or
overhead line is interchangeable
■ Complete range of pluggable components
available
■ Sockets are pre-installed into the transformer
Pluggable Bushing Advantages
The Bushing Advantages
■ Based on the proven technology of dry

RIP-Transformer bushing is designed for
Pfisterer socket CONNEX size 5-s, 6, 6-S,
7 and 7-S (145 kV up to 362 kV Umax)
■ Very compact dimensions
■ Heatpipe technology for higher currents
applicable
■ Oil and gas tight system
■ Core can be fixed to flange
■ No loss of insulation media
■ Operates with damaged housing
temporarily
■ No loss of insulation media
Benefits of CONNEX
■ Short on site installation time with factory

tested components
■ Time Savings of 75%
■ Installation position can be freely selected
■ Compact design allows smaller
connection compartment
■ Maintenance free
■ Touch proof for maximum safety
■ Water tight and offshore proved
■ Individual installation instruction for all
cable types
Tests at factory site
Fully pluggable transformer on HV and MV side
■ Transformer completed for Acceptance

Test at factory
■ Final configuration as later on site
■ Tests can be done as with conventional
bushings
■ Transformer stays sealed during transport
