This bushing is considered a direct replacement so no modifications would be required within the tank to install this design bushing. The bushing is ABB Type O-Plus-Dry, Style 230N1200AA. ABB 25 kV High-Voltage Neutral Bushing ABB Type RIS bushing, style 025N0412AA, which has the same connecting interface between the bushing flange and transformer tank as existing, has the same tank internal dimension from the flange to the bottom connection of 29.50 inches, and the threaded bottom-connection for the winding lead clamp is the same as the existing bushing. This bushing is considered a direct replacement so no modifications would be required within the tank to install this design bushing. The bushing is ABB Type O-Plus-Dry, Style 025N0412AA.
