Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and design details for medium voltage instrument transformers, specifically the VD, WD, and BD types, used in indoor switchgear. These transformers are designed to convert high voltages and currents into standardized values for measurement and protection purposes.
Voltage Transformer VD (12–72 kV):
  • Designed for indoor use in air-insulated medium voltage cells.
  • Features a 1-pole isolated dry block design with epoxy resin casting for long-term class accuracy.
  • Complies with IEC 61869-1 for partial discharge limits.
  • Available in various transformation ratios and suitable for different installation positions, with special considerations for the 72 kV variant.
  • Specifications include maximum system voltage (12-72.5 kV), power frequency withstand voltage (28-140 kV), and lightning impulse withstand voltage (75-325 kV).
Voltage Transformer WD (12–36 kV):
  • 2-pole isolated design for indoor use, suitable for medium voltage cells.
  • Allows energy measurement with two voltage and two current transformers using the Aron circuit.
  • Maintains constant class accuracy with epoxy resin casting.
  • Specifications include maximum system voltage (12-36 kV), power frequency withstand voltage (28-70 kV), and lightning impulse withstand voltage (75-170 kV).
Current Transformer BD (12–72 kV):
  • Support-type design for indoor use, transforming currents up to 2500 A.
  • Features primary switching function and high class accuracy at low currents.
  • Complies with IEC 61869-1 for safe operation.
  • Specifications include maximum system voltage (12-72.5 kV), power frequency withstand voltage (28-140 kV), and lightning impulse withstand voltage (75-325 kV).
General Information:
  • All transformers are designed according to national and international standards, with the possibility of accommodating special customer requirements.
  • Contact information for PFIFFNER and its global subsidiaries is provided for further inquiries.
