A repaired porcelain insulator

As a specialised bushing maintenance and repair business we are able to offer the following services – porcelain insulator repair, transformer bushing and through wall bushing oil sampling, fitting of replacement or remote pressure gauges, technical assistance, bushing refurbishment and bushing condition assessment.

Porcelain insulator repair

H.V. Bushing Services provides porcelain insulator repair services. Damaged porcelain insulators can be rebuilt and re-coloured as the original, providing a cost-effective alternative to bushing or insulator replacement.

This removes the obvious health and safety concerns associated with sharp broken porcelain particularly during cleaning procedures, sealing the surface against possible moisture ingress and reinstating creepage distances.

Pressure gauge supply and fitting

Replacement gauges and pressure switches can be supplied and fitted by H.V. Bushing Services.

Remote pressure gauges, sample points and mounting brackets can be fitted, resulting in an improved visual indication of pressure in comparison to old, small and often inaccurate gauges.

400kV wall bushings can be fitted with floor level gauges and sample points allowing for oil sampling and top up of live circuits.
