Inductive voltage transformers

Product catalog summary
General Description: The EGF series inductive voltage transformers are designed for high voltage substations operating within the 245-550 kV range. They convert high voltage into standardized values for meters and protection devices. The active section is housed in a pressure-resistant enclosure, with the iron core at earth potential and secondary windings directly on the core. The high voltage connection is made via a short-circuit proof aluminum pipe, and the electrical field distribution is optimized by a control electrode inside the silicone composite insulator.
Design and Construction: The housing is made of helium-tight, corrosion-resistant cast aluminum, with components tested according to pressure vessel standards. SF6 gas density is monitored by a temperature-compensated monitor with alarm contacts. A metal rupture disc ensures safe pressure relief. The terminal box is spacious and equipped with a side-opening cover. Pure SF6 gas is used for temperatures down to -40°C, with a mixed gas for temperatures as low as -60°C.
Advantages: The design offers high operating safety, low weight, and high creepage resistance. It includes features like color-coated housings, fuses or circuit breakers, heaters, and sealable covers. Options include lifting lugs, control electrodes, and additional terminal boxes.
Technical Data: The EGF series complies with IEC/IEEE standards, with voltage ratings from 245 to 550 kV. It has a rated power-frequency withstand voltage of up to 680 kV and a lightning impulse withstand voltage of up to 1550 kV. The transformers operate at 50/60 Hz with accuracy classes ranging from 0.1 to 6P. They have a rated thermal limiting output of ≤ 3000 VA and can accommodate up to 5 windings.
Highlights: The transformers feature temperature compensation down to -60°C, a density monitor with alarm contacts, and protection against moisture and mechanical damage. The terminal box is designed for easy installation and protection against condensation.
Global Presence: PFIFFNER has a global presence with offices in Switzerland, Germany, Turkey, Brazil, and more, providing contact information for each location.

Inductive voltage transformers-2

General description Voltage transformers type EGF are used in high voltage substations within the 245 –550 kV range. They transform high voltage into standardised, equivalent values for meters, measuring and protection devices. The active section of the voltage transformer is located in the pressure-resistant foot housing. The iron core is on earth potential. The secondary windings are directly positioned on the iron core. The secondary windings are passed through an SF6 /air bushing into the terminal box. The high voltage connection is implemented via a short-circuit proof aluminium pipe. The...
