Abstract
A method for horizontal assembly of a high-voltage feed-through bushing includes vertically-assembling a field shaper assembly of a high-voltage feed-through bushing on a field shaper fixture. The field shaper assembly is then rotated within the field shaper fixture such that the field shaper assembly is oriented on a horizontal axis. Next, an insulator tube fixture supporting an insulator tube assembly is positioned adjacent to the field shaper fixture. The insulator tube assembly, being oriented on the same horizontal axis as the field shaper assembly, is then affixed to field shaper assembly.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- vertically-assembling a field shaper assembly of a high-voltage feed-through bushing on a field shaper fixture;
- rotating said field shaper assembly within said field shaper fixture, such that said field shaper assembly is oriented substantially on a horizontal axis;
- positioning a first insulator tube fixture adjacent to said field shaper fixture, said first insulator tube fixture supporting a first insulator tube assembly oriented substantially on said horizontal axis;
- and
- affixing said field shaper assembly to said first insulator tube assembly.
