500 kV Oil-SF6 Project Defense
On 27 June 2017, Sergey Khlopotin was defending his magister’s thesis, dedicated to design of a 500 kV oil-SF6 bushing at the National Research University MPEI.
Sergey worked on the project for a year at the specialized design bureau of Izolyator. The KTkb-90-550/1000 O bushing for cable connection to transformers was developed by Izolyator under the order of Togliatti Transformer plant for replacement of bushings, earlier delivered by one of the foreign manufacturers.
Sergey Khlopotin made a report about his work to the state attestation commission.
The commission included:
- Sergey Serebryannikov
- Sergey S Serebryannikov
- Anatoly Cherkasov
- Oleg Dlyutrov
- Roman Nevsky
The members of the attestation commission unanimously resolved to award Sergey Khlopotin with a Magister’s degree, giving the highest mark to the thesis.
The paper turned-out informative and meaningful as the plant took part in designing of a high-voltage bushing of the type for the first time!
The prototype of the bushing passed all required acceptance tests, which allowed to manufacture the first batch of the bushings and ship them to the customer in full correspondence with the contract. The bushings are intended for operation at Roghun HPP in Tajikistan.
At the moment, Sergey Khlopotin continues to work at the design bureau of Izolyator plant.
