Abstract

A high voltage bushing including a voltage grading shield in two parts.

Claims (20)

1. A high voltage bushing, comprising:

a high voltage conductor provided in a hollow insulator housing including a wall flange;

a voltage grading shield provided between the high voltage conductor and the insulator housing, the voltage grading shield comprising at least a first shield part and a second shield part having a gap therebetween, wherein the first shield part and the second shield part extend away from the gap, and wherein gap is arranged within the wall flange.

2. The high voltage bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the gap extends entirely about the periphery of the voltage grading shield entirely separating the first shield part and the second part.

3. The high voltage bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the wall flange comprises two holes diametrically opposite to each other and aligned with the gap between the shield parts, the high voltage bushing further comprising:

a transport support for the high voltage conductor is provided in the holes in the wall flange.

4. The high voltage bushing according to claim 3 , wherein the transport support for the high voltage conductor comprises a pin and a recessed part on which the high voltage conductor rests, and wherein the high voltage conductor is clamped between the pin and the recessed part.

5. The high voltage bushing according to claim 1 , wherein end portions of the shield parts facing each other are funnel shaped.

6. The high voltage bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the voltage grading shield is provided between the high voltage conductor and the wall flange.

7. A high voltage device, comprising:

a high voltage bushing comprising a high voltage conductor provided in a hollow insulator housing including a wall flange, a voltage grading shield provided between the high voltage conductor and the insulator a voltage grading shield provided between the high voltage conductor and the insulator housing, the voltage grading sheild comprising at least a first shield part and a second shield part having a gap therebetween, wherein the first shield part and the second shield part extend away from the gap, and wherein gap is arranged within the wall flange.

8. A method of manufacturing a high voltage bushing, the method comprising:

providing a hollow insulator housing including a wall flange; and

providing a first shield part of a voltage grading shield in the hollow insulator housing;

providing a second shield part of a voltage grading shield in the hollow insulator housing arranged with a gap between the first shield part and the second shield part, wherein the first shield part and the second shield part extend away from the gap, and wherein gap is arranged within the wall flange; and

providing a high voltage conductor having a first contact and a second contact inside the voltage grading shield.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the wall flange comprises two holes diametrically opposite to each other, the method further comprising:

aligning the gap between the shield parts with the two holes in the wall flange;

providing a transport support for the high voltage conductor in the holes in the wall flange; and

clamping the high voltage conductor with the transport support.
