Abstract

An oil-oil bushing is disclosed which can include a rotationally symmetrical, paraboloid-like, hollow bushing element of a solid insulating material, along the axial extent of which there is formed radially toward the inside a tubular bushing channel, the wall thickness of which is tapered conically toward at least one of its two ends. An electrical bushing conductor can be fitted into the bushing channel with a form fit and protrude from it on both sides. At at least one of the two axial ends of the bushing channel there is arranged a hollow-cylindrical shielding element of a conductive material, which is thick-walled at least in certain regions, which element can enclose on one side a respective end of the bushing channel, and on another side, electrically contact a connecting conductor.

Claims (33)

1. An oil-oil bushing, comprising:

a rotationally symmetrical, paraboloid-like, hollow bushing element of a solid insulating material, along an axial extent of which there is formed radially toward an inside a tubular bushing channel, a wall thickness of which is tapered conically toward at least one of its two ends;

an electrical bushing conductor fitted into the bushing channel with a form fit and protruding from it on both sides;

a respective hollow-cylindrical shielding element of a conductive material positioned at one of the two axial ends of the bushing channel, which element is thick-walled at least in certain regions, which element encloses on its one side a respective end of the bushing channel with the bushing conductor protruding from it, and another side of the shielding element being configured for receiving and electrically contacting a respective connecting conductor, axial ends of the shielding element being of a round design; and

contacting means provided in the shielding element for its electrical contacting with the protruding bushing conductor or with a received connecting conductor, wherein the contacting means include at least one thread running radially through a wall of the shielding element, and a screw arranged therein for fixing the protruding bushing conductor or a received connecting conductor.

2. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding element is coated at least on its outer surface with an insulating material.

3. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein a widened open end of the paraboloid-like bushing element goes over into a radially outwardly adjoining terminating region running perpendicularly in relation to an axis of rotation.

4. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical bushing conductor fitted into the bushing channel has at both of its protruding ends a respective form that is suitable for form-fitting electrical contacting of a respective connecting conductor with a correspondingly complementary form.

5. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the contacting means of the shielding element comprise:

at least one annular element of an electrically conductive material, which is configured for enclosing the protruding bushing conductor or a received connecting conductor in a contacting manner.

6. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein at least three threads of a shielding element are arranged in the form of a star.

7. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein a shielding element both for the protruding bushing conductor and for a received connecting conductor comprises:

respective contacting means.

8. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein a shielding element comprises:

internal cavities for reducing its wall thickness.

9. An oil transformer, comprising:

an oil tank with a first oil-filled internal space area, in which a transformer is arranged; and

a second oil-filled internal space area that is separated from the first area by a wall, the wall having at least one bushing, by which an electrical connection of a first electrical connecting conductor in the first internal space to a second electrical connecting conductor in the second internal space is formed,

wherein the at least one bushing is an oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 .

10. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding element is coated at least on its outer surface with an epoxy resin as an insulating material.

11. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 2 , wherein a widened open end of the paraboloid-like bushing element goes over into a radially outwardly adjoining terminating region running perpendicularly in relation to an axis of rotation.

12. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 11 , wherein the electrical bushing conductor fitted into the bushing channel has at both of its protruding ends a respective form that is suitable for form-fitting electrical contacting of a respective connecting conductor with a correspondingly complementary form.

13. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 12 , wherein the contacting means of the shielding element comprise:

at least one annular element of an electrically conductive material, which is intended for enclosing the protruding bushing conductor or a received connecting conductor in a contacting manner.

14. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 13 , wherein at least three threads of a shielding element are arranged in the form of a star.

15. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 14 , wherein a shielding element both for the protruding bushing conductor and for a received connecting conductor comprises:

respective contacting means.

16. The oil-oil bushing according to claim 15 , wherein a shielding element comprises:

internal cavities for reducing its wall thickness.

17. An oil transformer, comprising:

an oil tank with a first oil-filled internal space area, in which a transformer is arranged; and

a second oil-filled internal space area that is separated from the first area by a wall, the wall having at least one bushing, by which an electrical connection of a first electrical connecting conductor in the first internal space to a second electrical connecting conductor in the second internal space is formed,

wherein the at least one bushing is an oil-oil bushing according to claim 16 .
