Capacitance and DF Measurement on High-Voltage Bushings
Notes:
– Equal capacitances, C
A
through C
J
, procedure equal distribution of voltage from the energized
center conductor to the grounded condenser layer and flange.
– The tap electrode is normally grounded in service except for certain designs and bushings used
with potential device.
– For bushings with potential taps, the C
2
capacitance is much greater than C
1
. For bushings with
power-factor tap, C
1
and C
2
capacitances may be same order of magnitude.

Condenser bushings may have:
• "Resin-Bonded Paper insulation (RBP)
• "Resin-Impregnated Paper insulation (RIP)
• "Oil-Impregnated Paper insulation (OIP)
Composite
A bushing where the insulation consists of two or more coaxial layers consisting
of different insulating materials.
Compound-filled
A bushing where the space between the major insulation or conductor, if no
major insulation is used, and the inside surface of a protective weather casing
(usually porcelain) is filled with a compound that contains insulating properties.
Dry or unfilled
A bushing consisting of a porcelain tube with no filler in the space between the
shell and the conductor. These are usually rated 25 kilovolts and below.
