RE: Transformer bushings

I can send you a pdf file of discussions on these bushings. Problem is I need your email since this document is on companies intranet, the link will not help you. Let me know where I should send it.

RE: Transformer bushings

(OP)
Guess I was not real clear.  I am looking to replace three of this type bushing on a 700 MVA GSU next spring because we had one fail a Doble test on a 40 MVA reserve auliary transformer, and I had heard there was an issue of failures
involved with the GE "U" type bushing. I am looking for supporting documentation to justify their replacement.

RE: Transformer bushings

(OP)
To member buzzp, my work email address is John_Baker@dynegy.com send it there if you don't mind, my home dial-up connection may take too long to download the pdf file.  Thank you very much, sounds like what I am looking for.

RE: Transformer bushings

I emailed it. Let me know if you did not get it. Thanks
