Abstract
Abstract An electrical bushing for use with a gas insulated electrical apparatus comprises an insulating tube, a central conductor extending through said insulating tube, a grounded cylindrical shield disposed between the central conductor and the insulating tube, an intermediate shield disposed between, and electrically insulated from, the cylindrical shield and the central conductor so as to surround the latter. The intermediate shield has a reduced diameter portion in the vicinity of the free end of the grounded cylindrical shield, large diameter portions and tapered portions connecting the reduced diameter portion to the large diameter portions to provide a smooth distribution of the electric field between the central conductor and the field moderating ring, so that the concentration of the electric field is moderated by the grounded shield and the intermediate shield.

An electrical bushing for use with a gas insulated electrical apparatus including: an insulating tube; a central conductor extending through said insulating tube; a grounded cylindrical shield disposed between said central conductor and said insulating tube so as to surround said central conductor, said grounded cylindrical shield being electrically connected to ground at one end thereof and having an electric field moderating ring at the other end thereof; and an intermediate tubular shield disposed between, and electrically insulated from, said grounded cylindrical shield and said central conductor and extending laterally in a symmetrical relationship from the vicinity of said field moderating ring of said grounded cylindrical shield; said intermediate tubular shield having a short reduced diameter portion within said field moderating ring of said grounded cylindrical shield, longer larger diameter portions, and tapered portions connecting said short reduced diameter portion to said longer larger diameter portions, a major portion of said intermediate tubular shield comprising said larger diameter portions, one of said tapered portions being located totally within said grounded cylindrical shield, said intermediate tubular shield extending symmetrically from a central part of said short reduced diameter portion which is located within said field moderating ring to equally share electrostatic capacities between said central conductor and said intermediate tubular shield for a smooth electric field strength transition therebetween and to uniformly spread the electric field throughout the entire bushing.
