Introduction 

 

These  instructions  are  applicable  to  the  gas  SF6  insulated  HV  wall  bushings  of  the  series  PWS/PWHS  and 
provide all information relevant to: 
 

  Safety aspects. 

  Transport conditions. 

  Technical characteristics. 

  Controls at the arrival and preparation activities. 

  Gas filling operation. 

  Service and maintenance plan and procedures. 

 

The PWS (HVAC) wall bushings are manufactured and tested in compliance with the following standards: 

IEC 60137 Insulated bushings for alternating voltages above 1000V. 

The PWHS (HVDC) wall bushing are manufactured and tested in compliance with the following standards: 

IEC 62199 Bushing for DC application. 

IEC 60137 Insulated bushings for alternating voltages above 1000V

In this document important safety requirements are highlighted by the word 

CAUTION 

and important operative 

instructions are evidenced by the word 

NOTE

 
This manual must be available to the personnel responsible of the installation, operation and maintenance of 
the bushings. 
 
The wall bushing is a high voltage AC/DC device, filled under pressure with SF6 gas, that has to be installed at 
relevant height through the wall of the valve building. 
 
The preparation and the installation of the bushing, the gas filling and the periodical maintenance operations 
must  be  performed  by  qualified  operators.  The  operators  must  be  trained  to  operate  in  accordance  with  the 
guidelines described in this instruction manual. 
 
Every operator must use the prescribed tools and the prescribed safety devices. 
 
Non-compliance with the following procedures and instructions can result in serious and dangerous situations 
for the personnel and in risks of damages of the equipment and the property.
