  • Patent number: 10014676
    Abstract: A high-voltage bushing contains an insulating body that is arranged concentrically around a cylindrical winding support formed of an electrically-conductive material, conductive control inlays which capacitive potential control the high-voltage bushing and are spaced apart from one another by insulation layers, and are arranged concentrically with the winding support. A connection device is provided for establishing an electrical connection between a first control inlay closest to the winding support, and the winding support. The high-voltage bushing is characterized in that the connection device contains an electrical sliding contact.

  • Patent number: 9887026
    Abstract: A high-voltage bushing includes an insulating body disposed concentrically around a cylindrical winding support formed of electrically conductive material, and a sealing device for sealing a gap between the winding support and the insulating body. The sealing device includes a sealing element disposed in a circumferential sealing groove. The circumferential sealing groove is disposed in the winding support and accommodates the sealing element. A method for producing a high-voltage bushing includes placing an insulating body concentrically around a cylindrical winding support formed of electrically conductive material. The insulating body has mutually concentrically disposed insulating layers. A sealing element is introduced into a circumferential sealing groove in the winding support, and the insulating body is subsequently impregnated with a resin to seal a gap between the winding support and the insulating body.

  • Patent number: 8969729
    Abstract: A high-voltage bushing with conductive inserts for a DC voltage has a bushing body surrounding a high-voltage conductor and containing a paper insulation. The bushing body tapers conically, at least at one end region thereof, from a ground-potential-side location to a high-voltage-side end and is surrounded by an insulating barrier. In order to provide a high-voltage bushing of this type with a particularly good potential distribution, the outside of the bushing body is coated at least in the region of the at least one end region with a coating to form a coating layer, which has a greater electrical conductivity than the bushing body.
