Abstract :
An alternative bushing design for HVDC systems is investigated. The bushing is vertical in orientation and intended for roof installation. Methods of maintaining reliable operation of the bushing in a severe marine contamination environment are explored by means of a fixed washing system designed to provide sufficient cleaning to avoid contamination flashover. Results of both clean fog and washing system tests are reported
