- **Caution**: 

### Q: What are the key specifications to consider when selecting a high-voltage insulating bushing?
**A**: Critical specifications include BIL (Basic Insulation Level) rating in kV, creepage distance in mm for pollution resistance, current rating in A, insulation resistance in MΩ, operating temperature range in °C, and rated voltage in kV to ensure compatibility with your electrical system.

### Q: How do material choices like porcelain, epoxy resin, and silicone rubber affect bushing performance?
**A**: Porcelain offers excellent mechanical strength and tracking resistance, epoxy resin composites provide good dielectric properties and design flexibility, while silicone rubber excels in hydrophobicity and pollution performance for harsh environments. Selection depends on application-specific requirements like voltage, environmental conditions, and mechanical stresses.

### Q: What maintenance is required for high-voltage insulating bushings in electrical equipment?
**A**: Regular visual inspections for cracks or contamination, periodic cleaning to maintain creepage distance, and insulation resistance testing are recommended. Ensure gasket seals remain intact to prevent moisture ingress. Follow manufacturer guidelines based on the specific material (porcelain, epoxy, or silicone) and operating conditions.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
