It isn't easy to find the root cause without full details. The
bushing quality seems to be the reason, as the failures stopped
after replacing the bushings. It is not clear whether GIS is
present on both sides. When GIS became popular in the 1970s
and 80s, it was suspected that fast transient surges from GIS
during isolator switching may damage the transformer
bushings. Thanks to the improvements in GIS designs, such a
possibility is remote today.
Question 43. The oil filled in the OIP bushing for 400 kV is
synthetic in our plant. Can we top it up with mineral oil, and
if so, which type?
Question 48: Why are EHV bushings with higher BIL than
transformer winding BIL?
If arcing horns flashed, the surge was bypassed and did not
reach the windings.
