1 DESCRIPTION AND CROSS SECTION
1.1 Description
The capacitor voltage transformer type CCV is a single-phase instrument transformer
composed of a capacitor divider and an electromagnetic unit (EMU).
The capacitor divider consists of 4 capacitors units (max). Each capacitor unit is composed of an
assembly of capacitor elements connected in series.
A capacitor element consists of two electrodes (aluminium foil), separated by a mixed dielectric
(film paper film). The elements are impregnated with synthetic liquid.
From the electrical point of view, the capacitor divider is composed of a high voltage capacitor
C1 and an intermediate voltage capacitor C2.
C2 is located in the bottom of the bottom unit when the CVT is having more than one module
The electromagnetic unit, connected between the intermediate voltage terminal and the earth
terminal of the capacitor divider, comprises essentially:
- a medium voltage transformer
- a compensating inductance
- a damping device
The EMU is immersed in insulating oil and enclosed in an airtight metallic tank.
The bottom capacitor unit is installed on the cover of the tank and is connected to the EMU
through a tight bushing.
The other units are assembled on the bottom capacitor unit and connected in series.
The adjustments of the transformer and the inductance with the capacitor divider are carried
out in factory to answer the required specifications and do not have to be modified.
The tank should not be open without particular precautions and the taking away of oil is
forbidden without the agreement of ALSTOM.

2 TRANSPORT
2.1 Handling of an unpacked transformer.
The vehicle used for transportation must be fitted with a horizontal wooden floor.
During carrying, the capacitor voltage transformer is disassembled. The units of the capacitor
voltage transformers must be carried on vertical position till their final destination.
The capacitor voltage transformer parts are fastened on wooden beams of the crate. The
complete packing should be covered with tarpaulin & tied during transit.
During the transport, check the fastenings and the protection around the CCV.
2.2 Handling of a packed transformer.
All parts and components of the capacitor voltage transformer are packed according to plant
standard.
The capacitor voltage transformer parts are carried on vertical mode.
The standard packaging is organized for three identical apparatus.
The standard packaging is organized in a maximum of three identical apparatus.
- in the first box: One bottom divider (EMU + bottom unit) + Top unit
- in the second box: Middle unit 1 + Middle unit 2
- in the third box: Corona ring (If applicable)
The base of each part of the capacitor voltage transformer is fastened on the floor of the crate
and the upper part is covered by means of wooden beams.
For stability reasons its not allowed to stack the crate on each others
Figure 1 Packing of disassembled UNITS

3 CONTROL & UNPACKING
3.1 Before UNPACKING
The crates will be examined to evaluate the possible damages which could be due to knocks,
shocks or a fall during transport.
It is required to check the good external aspect of the crates.
Note: Traces of oil on the crates may be due to rough handling or due to leakage. They should
be reported.
If one of the apparatus shows a bad state, it is possible that the good have been partially or
totally damaged. In case, please contact the supplier in order to define all future disposals to be
taken.

3.2 After UNPACKING
The porcelain insulators will be examined to evaluate the importance of the damage and a
report will be made whether:
- Porcelain petticoats are damaged.
- Main porcelain insulator body is cracked.
- The H.V. head, the fixing flanges, the cover of the tank and the low voltage terminal
box are stained with oil.
NOTE: A trace of oil might be due to improper cleaning of the capacitor voltage transformers
before dispatching. They should be cleaned with grease remover and, when dry, the suspected
parts dusted with talcum powder for easy visual checking. Any oil leak darkens the talcum
powder
Any trace of oil on the H.V. head is probably due to a damaged expansion bellows.
In the event of damage on the insulator, the column should be protected against moisture with
adhesive tape after thorough cleaning with grease remover, or protected with a polyethylene
plastic bag until further repair instructions are received.
- Should the expansion bellows be damaged, report to ALSTOM for further instructions.
- Should H.V or L.V terminals be damaged, report to ALSTOM for further instructions.

4 STORAGE
Long term storage, precaution measure:
ALL APPARATUS MUST BE KEPT IN A VERTICAL POSITION

4.1 Packed Material
The indications mentioned on the crate must absolutely be respected.
The packing can be stored outside for a period not exceeding 12 months.
The crate must be placed on a flat, horizontal surface that is not liable to flooding and protected
against falling over when winds are strong (> 100 km/h) and/or against impacts when
handling near the crate.
IN CASE OF STORAGE FOR OVER 12 MONTHS, CONTACT THE SUPPLIER
4.2 Non packed Material

All apparatus must be stored on a flat, horizontal surface that is not liable to flooding and be
protected against falling over when winds are strong (> 100 km/h) and/or against impacts
when handling near the apparatus.
The storage conditions for capacitive voltage transformers composed of several parts must be
carefully attended to.
4.3 Non-mounted apparatus

The bearing area of the medium and upper units is small. It is necessary to increase it by fixing
these units on a metal plate with the MS channels used for transportation. The bearing surface
is thus increased (recommended area 1m minimum and 10 mm minimum thickness).
Storage must take place in the same conditions as mentioned above.
4.4 Mounted apparatus

Not applicable for capacitive voltage transformers.

6 CHECKING
6.1 Electrical CHECKS
i. We recommend rough ratio measurement only for the CVTs.

The secondary voltage is calculated by using the formula :
Sec. Voltage = (Applied Voltage * X2/ 3) / (X1 /3)kV,
Where X1 = Primary rated voltage, X2 = Secondary Rated Voltage
ii. It is not recommended to carry out Capacitance and tan delta measurement at site.
iii. A mega-ohmmeter or any other measuring instrument having a service voltage equal to
or lower than 2 kV should be used to check the insulation resistance values.
- Check that the connection diagram is the correct one and that it corresponds to the
characteristics shown on the name plate.
- The insulation resistance value measured between primary and secondary windings should
be greater than 100 M.
- After disconnecting the earthed terminals, the insulation resistance between low voltage
windings should be greater than 25 M with 500V megger.
- The insulation resistance between L.V. windings and earth should be greater than 25 M
with 500V megger.
NOTE: AFTER TESTING, THE CONNECTIONS TO EARTH MUST BE RECONNECTED.
6.2 Physical CHECKS
- Check that the H.F. terminal is earthed by a copper strap on the terminal board or if,
'Carrier Frequency Current' injection duties are called for, it is earthed via H.F. carrier
injection equipment.
- Check that the primary neutral N is earthed on the terminal board.
- Check that the C.V.T. tank is earthed.
- Check correct rating and function of links and fuses .Check continuity to earth.
- Check the capacitor serial numbers written down on the nameplates. The bottom, the
middle and the top units must have the same serial number.
- Check all connections are made firmly and are in good condition.
- Check all interconnecting bolts between units are securely tightened.
- Check the level of the oil in the tank. If the indicator is unduly low disconnect the
transformer from the supply circuit and notify ALSTOM.
7 MAINTENANCE
A visual inspection during the first weeks of service is requested, followed by inspection
once in 6 months later and then at least every 2 years in light to medium polluted areas,
annually in heavily polluted areas, and every six months in very heavily polluted areas. Excessive
build up of pollution material on the equipment can accelerate corrosion. The finish will give
protection provided the conditions listed below are adhered to.

7.1 Inspection
De-energise and check especially:

- Appearance of the insulator, clean it if the pollution build up is high. The equipment can be
washed down with a mild detergent and warm water and then rinsed with clean water.
- The appearance of the metallic components parts are designed to be low corrosion and do
not require painting. Stainless steel nuts and bolts will become discoloured gradually over
time which should not be taken as corrosion.
- Weather proofing and proper ventilation of the terminal box, clean inside if necessary.
- The tightening of primary and secondary terminals and earthing connection.
- Inspect for signs of oil leakage.
- Check for the physical appearance of the terminal blocks and the voltage limiting device
after opening the terminal box cover, once in 6 months/ whenever the shut down is taken.
MAXIMUM OIL LEVEL
MINIMUM OIL LEVEL
- Check the position of the oil level on the tank. If the indicator is unduly low, disconnect the
transformer from the supply circuit and notify ALSTOM.

7.2 Connections
All electrical connections should be checked periodically and tightened within 1 month of
charging.
Keep all terminals and other parts, clean and free from corrosion. If it is necessary to remake
connections this should be done in accordance with the recommendation in the Section
Handling and mounting.
7.3 Column impregnant.

The insulating liquid used in capacitive columns is based on synthetic aromatic hydrocarbons
(type M/DBT according to IEC 867). This kind of impregnant guarantees very high dielectric
performances but is very sensitive to atmospheric moisture. Consequently, in order to keep the
volume of the liquid adjusted to the temperature, capacitor voltage transformers are equipped
with a stainless steel bellows. This minimizes exchanges between the impregnant and the
ambient atmosphere.
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO DRAW SAMPLES FROM THE CAPACITOR UNIT.

Following the principle of its functioning, the cell exerts a slight pressure on the column. The
pressure depends on the quantity of liquid exchanged between the column part and the cell
part. Thus, a continuous balance is maintained among the three factors: temperature, volume
and pressure.
