ANSI 1.2kV 250A Transformer Bushing
High Current Low Voltage Porcelain Bushing | 30kV Lightning Impulse Withstand | ANSI C76
Rated Voltage: 1.2 kV | Rated Current: 250 A | Creepage Distance: ≥25 mm | BIL: 30 kV
This ANSI standard low voltage transformer bushing is designed for the LV side of larger distribution transformers, pad-mounted transformers, and substation auxiliary transformers requiring higher current capacity. Rated at 1.2kV and 250A continuous current, it shares the same high insulation withstand characteristics as the 125A version: lightning impulse withstand of 30kV and dry power-frequency withstand of 10kV. The robust porcelain insulator and flange mount design ensure oil-tight installation, UV resistance, and long service life. Direct OEM replacement for standard 1.2kV 250A bushings.
Designed for compatibility and durability, this bushing is ideal for a wide range of transformers used in commercial buildings, industrial plants, and power distribution units. Its standard design facilitates easy installation and replacement, minimizing downtime.
As a professional manufacturer of porcelain insulator and porcelain bushing, we offer good quality and low price porcelain bushing for transformer and capacitor and switch.
