Bushings are bolted onto a transformer’s turrets, which extend up from the main tank (see Figure 1). These connections are what a team of researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has ...

The addition of flexural stiffeners on the transformer cover plates was explored as a means to stiffen the base of the bushings and mitigate their seismic vulnerability. Numerical and experimental ...

Abstract: This study deals with the modeling of existing transformers and bushings to evaluate the effects of modeling variations and possible structural modifications that may affect their dynamic ...
