[0002] SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING CONTROL BUSHINGS ONTO THE COVER IN MAGNETICALLY CONTROLLED REACTORS

[0003] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0004] The invention relates to a system used for mounting control bushings onto the reactor tank cover in magnetically controlled reactors.

[0005] More specifically, the invention relates to a system comprising a bushing flange used to attach the insulator to the reactor tank cover; a bushing flange lower o-ring gasket used to prevent oil leakage during the attachment of the insulator to the reactor tank cover; a bushing cap used to enable the insulator to function as a control bushing for the magnetically controlled reactor; a bushing cap o- ring gasket used to prevent oil leakage during the use of the insulator as a control bushing for the magnetically controlled reactor; and a bushing upper ring used to fasten the bushing cap employed in the magnetically controlled reactor to the insulator.

[0006] PRIOR ART

[0007] Magnetically Controlled Reactors (MCRs) are a type of reactor that can be controlled using a magnetic field. These devices, commonly used in power systems, change the reactance value based on a specific magnetic field. MCRs allow for the control of the reactance value through variations in the magnetic field, thereby helping to regulate current and voltage. MCRs are particularly preferred to enhance energy efficiency and optimize system performance.

[0008] In the current technique, one of the most common problems encountered in magnetically controlled reactors (MCRs) is related to bushing connections. Bushings are supplied as a single unit. If damage occurs during assembly or transportation of these single unit bushings, the entire bushing structure must be replaced. This necessitates a new procurement process, resulting in time and financial losses.

[0009] In magnetically controlled reactors (MCRs) using the current technique, if the bushings are impacted and damaged, the reactor must be opened to replace the bushing. This causes both time loss and the need to remove the reactor from the site and send it for maintenance and repair. The duration in which the reactor remains disconnected from the power source also results in financial losses.

[0010] As a result, the need for a system to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the current technique and the inadequacy of the existing solutions necessitated a development in the relevant technical field.

[0011] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The object of the invention is to enable the bushings of a reactor operating on-site to be replaced in a very short time without the need to open the reactor in the event of sudden bushing damage.

[0013] Another object of the invention is to eliminate the need for transporting the reactor, as the reactor bushings can be replaced directly on-site, i.e., in the area where the reactor is in use. Thus, the duration during which the reactor remains disconnected from the power source is significantly shortened, and the reactor can be quickly re-commissioned after the replacement.

[0014] Another object of the invention is to make the bushing connection system more accessible for intervention by manufacturing it in a segmented structure.

[0015] A further object of the invention is to ensure the ease of supplying parts, as the system is manufactured in a segmented manner.

[0028] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] The bushing mounting system subject to the invention, as shown in Figure-1, allows the bushings to be mounted on the reactor tank cover (800) of the magnetically controlled reactor tank (700). The bushing mounting system shown in Figure-1 comprises the bushing cap (100), bushing cap O-ring gasket (200), bushing upper ring (300), bushing flange lower O-ring gasket (500) and bushing flange (600).

[0030] In the invention shown in Figure-2, the bushing flange (600) is used to connect the insulator (400) to the reactor tank cover (800); the bushing flange lower O-ring gasket (500) is used to prevent oil leakage during the connection of the insulator (400) to the reactor tank cover (800); the bushing cap (100) is used to enable the insulator (400) to function as a control bushing for the magnetically controlled reactor; the bushing cap O-ring gasket (200) is used to prevent oil leakage during the use of the insulator (400) as a control bushing for the magnetically controlled reactor; and the bushing upper ring (300) is used to fasten the bushing cap (100), which is used for the magnetically controlled reactor, to the insulator (400).

[0031] During final assembly in the production of magnetically controlled reactors, the bushing flange (600), which is welded onto the reactor tank cover (800), is fitted with the bushing flange lower O- ring gasket (500), and the insulator (400) is then mounted onto the reactor tank cover (800). The bushing cap (100), which is used for control terminals, is secured to the upper part of the insulator (400) by means of the bushing cap O-ring gasket (200) and the bushing upper ring (300). The bushing cap (100) is used for securing the bushings from the upper side. The bushing cap (100) includes bushing mounting holes (110) through which the control bushings pass when the bushing cap (100) is positioned on top of the bushings. Thanks to the bushing mounting holes (110), the bushing terminals are extended outward and mounted onto the bushing cap (100) from the outside. Thus, with the completed bushing mounting system, in the event of a bushing failure, the bushing can be replaced directly on the reactor without needing to transport the reactor.
