If you enjoyed yesterday's post, I hope you'll like this one too! Here's a look inside a larger cousin of yesterday's bushing. The liquid you see here is oil and those rods are the conductors. The oil helps to insulate from overheating and once the papers around the conductors are fully permeated, the big tube will be closed into a porcelain housing and ready to work!

The mill I worked at generated 80+ megawatts of it's own power (2 dams), so I got to see this stuff.
Which company does hubby work for Halcyon?

Super cool! Also like the previous shot.
Never seen anything like it!
I'm wondering what kind of paper stands up to this kind of task. Seems like it would break down fairly rapidly. But it's interesting.
@David - it's just regular kraft paper. Oil doesn't dissolve it. You only have problems with it disintegrating if moisture gets in. Which you definitely don't want in a bushing or a transformer: water + high voltage = bad idea. :)
Such a stunning, artistic, dizzy perspective! And fascinating information!
I can only repeat what the others have written, this is awesome and fascinating! Enjoy your weekend, Halcyon!

very cool!
Halcyon, this is an absolutely fascinating photo! Interesting details.
If you had told me that I'd say I'd believe if I saw it and now that I've seen it, I'd say you were right all along. Very interesting and a very beautiful photo - super exposure and light!
Halcyon, I think you are making fans out of your viewers with this series. I worked for electric companies in senior positions for 30 years and never figured out how they make electricity. Don't tell anyone!
Very cool shot.
Très technique et très réussi !
Very good photo.
I like the composition.
Regards and best wishes
Unusual pictures of interesting technical pieces.
Love this shot, and I appreciate the details. Isn't it amazing where we find subjects for shooting... They are everywhere!

I hate the new word verification. Since I have trouble reading those "words", I am assuming others do too.
