Pollution Levels (as per IEC/IEEE 60815-1 Standard)
The IEC/IEEE 60815-1 standard defines four general pollution severity levels:
Pollution LevelDescriptionEquivalent Specific Creepage Distance (mm/kV)LightAreas with low industrial pollution, occasional rain≥16MediumAreas with moderate pollution from industry, agriculture≥20HeavyAreas with frequent condensation, high industrial pollution≥25Very HeavyCoastal or desert areas with salt spray, conductive dust≥31
Note: Values are based on phase-to-ground…
Determining a transformer bushing typically involves selecting or designing a bushing that meets the electrical, mechanical, and thermal requirements of the transformer. It’s not about a single formula, but rather a design process based on key parameters. Below is a structured breakdown:
1. Electrical Rating Calculation
This defines the voltage insulation level and current carrying…
