- Description
- Information Requested:The Bureau of Reclamation is looking for a means with which to enclose a transformer bushing tank (TBT) in the event of a bushing failure. The preference is to procure a fabric-type Kevlar ballistic blanket to enclose and be tethered to the outside of the TBT which contains sulfur hexafluoride to insulate a GE U-type bushing. The blanket must be able to withstand the forces which may be exerted when a bushing fails so that the damage to nearby equipment is prevented. The force or energy needing to be captured by the ballistic blanket will be directly related to the amount of mass set into motion by the rapid expansion of ignited hydrogen gas that has accumulated around the core of the bushing. Our drawing provides the mass of the material contained within the bushing, and should provide sufficient additional information to allow the calculation of the restraining force needed to suppress the excited material in the event of an explosion of the GE "U" bushing. To aid in providing possible solutions, drawings and a picture of the bushing and tank will be provided to interested vendors. If your company is interested, please fax or email a request for the picture and drawings to 509-633-9175 or jwahl@usbr.gov. Please include your company name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, Dun and Bradstreet number and Tax Identification number with your request. The picture and drawings are available in a.pdf format.
