Capacitor Voltage Transformers

Capacitor Voltage
Transformer

Introduction

Trench is a recognized world leader in the

design and manufacture of high voltage
equipment for application on electric utility
and high energy industrial systems. As
part of Trench's product scope, the
Company produces a diversified range of
Instrument Transformers which are installed
on 69 - 800 kV electrical systems.
Instrument Transformers include:
Voltage (Potential) Transformers
(both inductive and capacitive
type), Current Transformers and
Combined Instrument Transformers
(voltage and current transformer in
one unit).

Capacitor Voltage Transformers

must convert transmission class
voltages to standardized low and
easily measurable values, which will
be used for metering, protection
and control of the high voltage
system. As such, the need for accu-
rate and reliable voltage transfor-
mation is essential. Additionally,
Capacitor Voltage Transformers
serve as a coupling capacitor for
coupling high frequency power line
carrier signals to the transmission

Features
• meet all IEC and ANSI metering
and protection classes (other
standards on request)
• applications from 69 kV–800 kV
• Quality Assurance in accordance
with ISO 9001
• capable of carrier coupling PLC
signals to the network
• higher inherent capacitance
values provide superior PLC
coupling, better transient
performance and improved
stability
• optimized insulation system
design utilizing state-of-the-art
processing techniques with
either mineral oil or synthetic
insulating fluids
• stability of capacitance and ac-
curacy over a long period of time
due to superior clamping system
design
• oil expansion by way of
hermetically sealed stainless steel
bellows assures the integrity of
the insulation system over time
• bellows puncture pin provides
for release of internal pressure in
the event of severe service
conditions leading to internal
discharges
• puncture pin operation releases
insulating fluid to run down the
porcelain, resulting in an oil stain
and clear visual indication of a
problem
• extra high strength porcelains
provide both superior seismic
performance and the ability to
mount large line traps directly
on the CVT with corresponding
savings in installed cost
• maintenance-free oil filled cast
aluminum basebox
• superior transient response
characteristics
• internal company routine test
and quality requirements exceed
those of international standards
with impulse tests and partial
discharge test being performed
on a routine basis
• not subject to ferroresonance
oscillations with the network or
breaker capacitor
• passive ferroresonance
suppression circuit provides
superior damping while not
degrading transient response.
This allows faster relay operation
with less zone 1 overreach
concerns
• high capacitance CVT's, when
installed in close proximity to
EHV circuit breakers, can provide
enhanced circuit breaker short
line fault/TRV performance
• Proven Seismic Performance:
• Trench porcelain housed CVT’s
have passed the most
demanding seismic shaker table
tests and have survived real
earthquakes in service.
