Abstract

An exemplary plug-in high-voltage bushing connects an electrical conductor to a metal-encapsulated component, which is filled with insulating agent, of a high-voltage installation. The bushing is rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis and has a centrally routed electrical conductor, a field control device and an insulator surrounds the electrical conductor. The bushing also includes a tapering section that dielectrically strengthens a joint after insertion of the bushing into a plug part, which forms a seal for the insulating agent. The joint is arranged between an insulating sleeve of the plug part and the tapering section of the insulator. The bushing has capacitor plates, which are electrically isolated from one another by an insulating film, are integrated into the insulator, and pass through the mounting flange into the tapering section of the insulator.

Claims (33)

1. A plug-in high-voltage bushing for connecting an external electrical conductor to a metal-encapsulated component, which is filled with a liquid or gaseous insulating agent, of a high-voltage installation, the bushing comprising:

an electrical conductor that is routed along an axis and has a plug contact and a connection for the external conductor;

an insulator that is attached to the electrical conductor;

a mounting flange that is attached to the insulator;

a shield that is cast onto an outer surface of the insulator and that extends in an axial direction from the mounting flange to the connection for the external electrical conductor; and

a device that surrounds the electrical conductor and controls an electrical field which acts when high voltage is applied,

wherein the field control device is in the form of a capacitor winding, and the capacitor winding has capacitor plates which are electrically isolated from one another, are kept at a distance from one another in a radial direction by insulating film, and are integrated in the insulator by embedding the capacitor winding in a cured polymer compound;

wherein the capacitor plates are passed through the mounting flange into the tapering section of the insulator, and

wherein a surface, which bounds the joint, of the insulator includes an elastically deformable insulation which is held on the capacitor winding.

2. The bushing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a surface, which bounds the joint (F) of the insulator section, comprises elastically deformable insulation which is held on the capacitor winding.

3. The bushing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the elastically deformable insulation is an elastomer.
