2.13 Oil-filling of voltage tap housing
The GSB 800 bushing is equipped with a voltage tap,
providing a voltage source while the bushing is in operation.
The voltage tap housing should be filled with oil when the
continuous voltage exceeds 600 V. For voltages below 600 V,
the voltage tap housing does not need to be oil filled.
The voltage tap housing should be filled with clean and dry
transformer oil. This will prevent corrosion and
condensation. Fill the tap housing as follows:
1. Remove the sealing plug on the top of the voltage tap;
see Fig. 32.
2. Fill the tap housing, leaving a space of approximately
6-10 mm for oil expansion.
3. Firmly tighten the sealing plug.
The voltage tap adapter is used for permanent connection
to measuring circuits; see Fig. 33.
WARNING
The voltage tap adapter must be equipped with
suitable over-voltage protection to prevent damage
during service. The cable gland must be oriented
downwards in order to prevent water from entering
the equipment.
If the connected impedance is too high, it can cause over-
voltages on the voltage tap adapter during transient
conditions leading to flashover. It is important to use the
correct impedance for the actual transient frequencies at
the installation on site.
