Description:

Magnetic Field Deflection Bushing for MV GIS & Gas Insulated Switchgear

1. Product Definition & Working Principle

This magnetic field deflection bushing, also named field grading stress control insulator, is a core internal component specially developed for medium voltage GIS, ring main unit and power transformer equipment.

It homogenizes uneven electric field distribution around penetrating conductors inside sealed SF6 gas cabinets, effectively suppresses eddy current heating and electromagnetic interference, lowering equipment operation temperature and extending GIS cabinet service life.

This product belongs to our complete line of distribution switchgear accessories for power distribution cabinet maintenance and new project assembly.

2. Two Optional Raw Material & Core Technical Advantages

2.1 DMC Composite Material Version

Glass fiber reinforced DMC molded structure, high mechanical impact resistance, excellent anti-tracking and anti-pollution performance, suitable for industrial heavy-pollution substation environments.

2.2 Epoxy Resin Cast Version

Integral epoxy pouring forming, stable dielectric strength, compact size, perfect for narrow-space GIS internal wiring layout.

Exclusive Differentiated Strengths

1. Field Homogenization Function: Ordinary insulation bushings only provide basic isolation; this deflection structure actively guides magnetic field distribution to avoid local electric field breakdown.

2. Eddy Current Suppression Design: Greatly reduces eddy current loss caused by alternating magnetic field, solving the common overheating fault of GIS through-wall parts.

3. IEC 62271 Standard Certified: Strictly passed medium voltage insulation withstand voltage test, fully compliant with international switchgear industry specifications.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is magnetic field deflection bushing used for in GIS switchgear?

It is a stress control insulating part that balances concentrated electric field inside sealed GIS equipment, inhibits eddy current generation and overheating risk, preventing insulation flashover faults during long-term operation.

Q2: What are the two main material options for this GIS bushing?

We provide DMC glass fiber composite and epoxy resin cast two versions, adapting to different environmental and installation requirements of power projects.

Q3: Can this bushing replace original factory GIS spare parts directly?

Standard specification products adopt universal mounting dimensions for mainstream ABB and Schneider GIS models, no cabinet structural modification is needed for plug-and-play replacement.

Q4: Which international standard does this medium voltage insulation bushing follow?

All products are manufactured and tested strictly in accordance with IEC 62271-209 medium voltage switchgear accessory standards.
