Document No. 1015-01 Page 1 Howard Industries, Inc. ISO-9001 Certified Molded Low-Voltage Bushings For Pad-Mounted Distribution Transformers Howard Industries molded low-voltage bushings are designed for use on fluidfilled pad-mounted distribution transformers, where bushings are mounted indoors or inside a terminal enclosure. They are compatible with commonly used transformer fluids, including mineral oil, R-Temp®, silicone, and seed-based oils. The bushings are provided with an internal copper spade for connection to low-voltage coil leads and an external threaded copper stud that will mate with industry standard low-voltage connectors. The three-hole mounting configuration is designed for external attachment and allows interchangeablity with similarly designed bushings used on many types of pad-mounted transformers. The bushing design incorporates several improvements intended to prevent fluid leaks at the tank wall and at the copper-topolymer interface. The tank wall gasket system features a piloted design to prevent misalignment during installation and a positive stop that provides consistent gasket compression and prevents overcompression. An internal gasket seals against leaks at the copper-topolymer interface. Both gaskets are made of a proprietary compound specifically suited for transformer use. Dupont Zytel® HTN high temperature nylon was chosen as the molding compound because of its exceptional mechanical and electrical stability over a wide range of temperature, humidity, and environmental extremes. It also exhibits good flexibility, allowing it to conform to the tank wall during internal pressure changes.
