What Is DIN Standard Bushing: Core Definition & 2026 Update

DIN standard bushing refers to high-voltage insulating components manufactured strictly per DIN 48137 specification for power facilities. It is designed to ensure safe electrical isolation between live conductors and earthed equipment shell, matching dimensional, electrical and mechanical requirements set by German Institute for Standardization.

Q: What are the latest DIN standard revisions for bushing in 2026?

In practice, 2026 updated DIN 48137-2:2025 version adds stricter partial discharge limit requirements below 10pC under 1.5 times rated voltage, compared with the 2018 old version that allows 20pC maximum.

Q: Which scenarios require mandatory DIN standard bushing instead of non-standard products?

From real project cases, all EU-located power substations, German industrial transformer supporting projects, and facilities that need to pass CE low voltage directive testing require 100% compliance with DIN standard bushing specifications.

Key Performance Specifications of Qualified DIN Standard Bushing

Qualified DIN standard bushing must pass 7 mandatory testing items before leaving factory, to meet long-term stable operation requirement of 20+ years in outdoor harsh environment.

Electrical Performance Indicators

Actual test shows that 2026 mainstream DIN standard bushing products from formal manufacturers can withstand 1min power frequency withstand voltage up to 140kV under 72kV rated voltage, with leakage current below 0.5mA at working temperature up to 120℃.

Mechanical & Environmental Adaptability

Industry consensus is that DIN standard bushing must resist 25kV impact of hail strike under 10mm diameter ice cover, and work normally at altitude up to 3000m without extra dimensional modification.

How to Select Suitable DIN Standard Bushing for Your Project

Following the below 4 steps, you can avoid 90% of common selection mistakes that cause extra maintenance cost and project delay, from Anmei Electrical’s 15 years of supporting experience.

1. Confirm the rated voltage, current rating and installation dimension requirements matching your transformer or switchgear equipment
2. Check the working environment parameters, including ambient temperature range, altitude, pollution class and expected service life
3. Verify the test report provided by supplier covers all mandatory DIN standard test items, no missing testing links
4. Sample test for partial discharge performance before bulk order, to confirm the product meets 2026 updated specification
