Best Answer

A bushing is a hollow insulator, used with Transformers and circuit breakers. It provides a means by which an energised conductor can pass from the outside to the inside of the transformer or circuit breaker.

What does the terminology - radial feed - mean in relationship to transformers?

This terminology usually refers to pad mounted transformers. A "radial feed " transformer is a transformer that has one bushing for the high voltage cable line. The high voltage cable terminates into the transformer through the transformer's bushing. There is no second bushing for the high voltage cable to continue further down the line. This type of transformer is usually on the end of a loop feed circuit. This is different from a "loop feed" transformer whose incoming cables are terminated at the primary bushings. On this type of transformer there is a second bushing which connects to the outgoing primary voltage cables that allows the primary to feed another transformer. Each pad mount transformer's secondary feed usually supplies enough power to connect up to four homes.


What are the bushing in the current transformer?

The bushing acts as an insulator to prevent a short circuit. In large distribution transformers, the voltages used are so high that it the wires cannot be allowed to come too close to each other, or too close to the metal casing of the transformer. If they do get too close, then the voltage can actually jump through the air (electrical breakdown), and create a short circuit. The bushings are made longer than they need to be because things like rain, and sharp points on a transformer terminal can make it easier for the voltage to jump through the air.

120v240v what does it mean?

In North America it is the standard electrical service connection voltages. Usually a pole mounted transformer supplies this voltage. In newer subdivisions the trend is turning to pad mount transformers which allows the primary voltage lines to be underground. Looking at the transformer you will see three insulator bushings. The first and third bushing are the working voltage (house connections 240 volts). The middle bushing is a center tap. This gives a voltage of (bushing left to center 120 volts) and (bushing center to bushing right 120 volts) These are the the three wires that come into a house for its 120/240 volt service.

How many bushing do you get on delta to star transformer?

Your use of the word "bushings" implies you are dealing with a high-voltage transformer (over 600 volt). A three phase STEP-DOWN transformer normally has 3 bushings on the Primary side regardless of whether it is star-delta or another type. The Secondary side might have 3 or 4. A single phase transformer normally has 2 bushings on the Primary side and 2 or 3 on the Secondary side. If the transformer is being used to STEP-UP, it would be reversed from above. If this does not answer your question, I need more info.
