摘要

One of the critical components to be developed for high-voltage superconducting devices, such as superconducting transformers, cables, and fault current limiters, is a high-voltage bushing to supply a high current to devices without insulation difficulties in cryogenic environments. Unfortunately, suitable bushings for high-temperature-superconductivity (HTS) equipment have not been fully developed to address cryogenic insulation issues. As a fundamental step towards developing the optimum design of the 154 kV prototype SF6 bushing of HTS devices, the puncture and creepage breakdown voltages of glass-fiber-reinforced-plastic (GFRP) were analyzed with a variety of configurations of electrodes and gap distances in the insulation material. And design factors of high-voltage cryogenic bushings were obtained from the result of tests. Finally, the withstand voltage tests of manufacturing a 154 kV extra-high-voltage (EHV) prototype bushing has been performed. Consequently, we verified the insulation level of the newly designed 154 kV EHV cryogenic prototype bushings for superconducting electric power applications.
