Resin impregnated paper (RIP)

Resin impregnated paper (RIP) is a term used for dry bushings in which the main insulation consists of a core wound from crepe paper, which is then impregnated with a curable resin. The outer insulation is a composite insulator with silicone sheds or a porcelain insulator. Hitachi Energy offers the widest and most complete range of RIP bushings for AC and DC transformers and reactors, AC and DC wall applications, and AC switchgear and breakers in the market. Our bushings are compliant with many international and regional product standards.
