| Abstract |
| High voltage bushing is one of the key components of Indian Test Facility. It is designed
to provide 100 kV electrical isolation to all high voltage feedlines from the electrically
grounded vessel. It also forms vacuum boundary between the vessel and the outer
atmosphere. Conventional vacuum compatible porcelain insulator is selected for this
purpose. However, to accommodate several high voltage feedlines in a single insulator,
diameter of the insulator has been kept as ~1 m. Further, steps have been provided at
both the ends for porcelain-metal vacuum seal transitions which is the challenging step
during the fabrication of insulator. This paper describes the design criteria, analysis,
manufacturing phases, encountered issues and remedial actions taken to optimize the
design, ensuring its manufacturability without compromising operational requirements. |
