Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Step up Generator construction
Portuguese term or phrase: caneco da bucha
This text is taken from a technical report on internal damages to a step up generator.
My doubt is from my limited knowledge of the construction HT bushings, is that they are encased in a tube or cylinder (caneco?) and inside they have a `sleeve,- is the above term relating to the external tube/casing or the internal sleeve?

Através da janela de inspeção do caneco da bucha da fase V (Vermelha) visualizamos as conexões da bucha desta fase e constatamos danos por fusão nos cabos do terminal de Alta Tensão e de ligação do shield, danos por carbonização no shield e na Bucha de Alta Tensão H3.

English translation:bushing housing
Explanation:
Bushing refers to the insulated connector used on a high-tension transformer or generator. The bushing passes through the earthed casing of the device, carrying the current at high voltage.

As the "caneco" has a window to allow inspection of the actual bushing parts, I guess it might mean the housing surrounding the bushing, but I am not certain. In the diagram shown in the first link, no part is referred to as the "caneco". Maybe this housing is in fact the oil reservoir, as I read that some kinds are filled with oil (see Wikipedia article).

Hi Andrew! Please feel free to call it a sleeve! :-) I agree that it is in doubt and therefore the most generic term is best.

neutral  airmailrpl: It would seem to be a "Bucha de Alta Tensão" - nothing to do with engines

  -> You may be right. I thought of the generator's engine.

Hi Andrew! Please feel free to call it a sleeve! :-) I agree that it is in doubt and therefore the most generic term is best.

Example sentence(s):
  • Buchas são dispositivos estanques, dotados de pequenos tanques de expansão para permitir dilatações do volume interno de óleo, sem que haja entrada de umidade ou gases presentes no ambiente.
  • A typical bushing design has a 'conductor', (usually of copper or aluminium, occasionally of other conductive materials), surrounded by insulation, except for the terminal ends.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thks Martin yr helpful comments as usual! I note what you say, but as I am not 100% certain, Im inclined to call it a sleeve, as this sort of covers both possibilities (in a generic manner that is!). i.e. from what I have read, these bushes, which are used to conduct HT voltage, have their main body inside what is called a casing or tube and inside this there is what is called the 'sleeve' - but I maybe totally wrong!!

Asker: Thks yr input anyway Martin!

agree  Mario Freitas: Good. I realize this is not an engine part, as mentioned by Robert above.
