Abstract: A high voltage insulation system for high-voltage direct current including a bushing, a conductor, a transformer conductor, and a connection between the conductor and the transformer conductor. A conductive shielding electrode shields the connection between the bushing and transformer. A surrounding insulation system is immersed in transformer oil. The surrounding insulation system includes transformer insulation material and bushing insulation material. A cylindrical solid insulation barrier encloses the connection between the bushing conductor and transformer conductor. At least one solid insulation barrier is fastened on the outer side of the shielding electrode. The at least one solid insulation barrier extends in an axial direction outside the axial direction of the shielding electrode and forms a distance to the insulation material of the bushing and the insulation material of the transformer, whereby a moderate voltage drop over the solid insulation barrier is obtained.

Abstract: A high voltage transformer including a transformer housing. Internal components and provided in the transformer housing. The internal components are submerged in transformer oil and are provided with insulation for insulating a high voltage winding end. The insulation includes a shield ring arranged above the winding end and a pressboard structure formed in a zigzag pattern arranged around the winding end. The shield ring includes a core covered with a conducting layer and a continuous solid insulation layer outside the conducting layer. The insulation layer includes integrated solid insulation sections of which at least some among themselves having varying thickness. Also a shield ring and a method of manufacture the shield ring.
