76/132kV Porcelain Bushing Type Outdoor Power Cable Termination

Cable Accessories are products that connect cables with transmission and distribution lines, as well as related distribution equipment. They generally refer to the intermediate and terminal connections of various cables in cable lines, and together with cables, they form the power transmission network; Cable accessories are mainly based on the characteristics of cable structure, which can not only restore the performance of cables, but also ensure the extension of cable length and the connection of terminals. The reliability of high-voltage cable accessories can be evaluated from the aspects of electrical performance, sealing and moisture-proof performance, mechanical performance, and process performance.

Product Description


The 76/132kV Porcelain Bushing Type Outdoor Power Cable Termination is a robust, high-voltage solution designed for terminating power cables in outdoor substations and overhead transmission systems. Combining a porcelain insulator with a precision-engineered metal fitting, this termination provides excellent electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to harsh outdoor environments. The porcelain bushing is glazed to enhance hydrophobicity and prevent pollution flashover, while the inner conductor connection features compression or bolted joints for low-resistance conductivity.

Engineered to operate at 76kV and 132kV, the termination incorporates stress control electrodes to manage electrical field gradients at the cable-insulation interface, reducing the risk of partial discharges. The porcelain housing is designed with multiple sheds to increase creepage distance, making it suitable for polluted areas with high levels of dust, salt, or industrial fallout. The metallic base is hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in coastal or industrial zones.


Features


Superior Insulation Performance: The porcelain bushing offers high dielectric strength and thermal shock resistance, with a flashover voltage 20% higher than composite alternatives in clean environments.

Pollution Resistance: The glazed surface and shed profile minimize contaminant accumulation, with 可选防污闪涂层 (optional anti-pollution coatings) available for severe pollution classes (IV-V).

Mechanical Robustness: Withstands wind speeds up to 300km/h and ice loads of 50mm thickness, making it suitable for extreme weather conditions.

Easy Installation: Standardized flange interfaces comply with IEC 60137 and ANSI C57.19, allowing quick integration with switchgear, transformers, and busbars.

Low Maintenance: Porcelain’s inert surface requires minimal cleaning—typically pressure washing every 5-7 years in polluted areas.


Application


Outdoor Substations: Terminates high-voltage cables connected to circuit breakers, transformers, and lightning arresters in regional and national grids.

Coastal Power Plants: The corrosion-resistant galvanized steel and glazed porcelain ensure longevity in salt-laden marine environments.

Industrial Substations: Used in steel plants, refineries, and chemical facilities, resisting chemical vapors and conductive dust through specialized coatings.

High-Altitude Grids: Performs reliably at altitudes up to 4000 meters, with increased creepage distance compensating for reduced air density.

Renovation Projects: Retrofits older substation infrastructure, replacing degraded terminations with maintenance-free porcelain solutions.


FAQ


Q: What is the difference between normal and heavy pollution class terminations?

A: Heavy pollution class terminations have taller sheds and increased creepage distance (e.g., 3100mm for 132kV), suitable for areas with conductivity >100μS/cm.

Q: Can the porcelain bushing withstand physical impacts?

A: While porcelain is brittle, the termination is designed with a shock-absorbing flange to minimize damage from vibrations or minor impacts.

Q: Is the termination compatible with both oil-filled and XLPE-insulated cables?

A: Yes, it supports various cable types with adaptable insulation interfaces and sealing mechanisms.

Q: How is the electrical stress managed at the cable termination point?

A: A graded stress cone made of semi-conductive material equalizes the electric field, preventing concentration at the insulation shield cut-off.

Q: What is the recommended torque for conductor connections?

A: Torque values depend on cable size (e.g., 100-200Nm for 500mm² cables), detailed in the installation manual to ensure low-resistance connections.
