Recent Developments on Dry Type Insulation Technologies

For most high voltage equipment, oil and gas have been common insulation media for decades. For some categories of products, alternative “dry type” insulations, eliminating such media, have been introduced over the past 20 years. At a time of ever increasing environmental and safety requirements, they are now arriving to maturity with significant track record in performance and reliability. This presentation will review recent developments for bushings, instrument transformers, and cable accessories, including unique features that are enabled by “dry” technologies.
