Product catalog summary
Introduction
Trench is a prominent manufacturer of high voltage equipment, focusing on Instrument Transformers for transmission class voltages, including Voltage Transformers, Current Transformers, and Combined Instrument Transformers. Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are used to convert high transmission voltages to lower, measurable values for metering, protection, and control, and also function as coupling capacitors for high frequency PLC signals.

Applications
CVTs and Coupling Capacitors (CCs) are utilized in power substations for several purposes:
  • Providing voltage inputs for protection relays and revenue meters.
  • Coupling high frequency PLC signals to power lines.
  • Reducing circuit breaker Transient Recovery Voltage (TRV).
  • Monitoring power quality with harmonic monitoring devices.

Features
Notable features include:
  • Compliance with IEC and ANSI standards.
  • Applications ranging from 72.5kV to 1100kV.
  • ISO 9001 Quality Assurance certification.
  • High capacitance values for enhanced PLC coupling and stability.
  • Optimized insulation system using mineral oil and synthetic insulating fluid.
  • Maintenance-free design with corrosion-resistant materials.
  • Factory testing that surpasses international standards.
  • Easy field installation with integrated components.

Construction
CVTs are composed of a high voltage capacitor divider and a basebox with electromagnetic components. The capacitor sections are hermetically sealed and filled with synthetic dielectric fluid, while the basebox houses transformers and ferroresonance suppression circuitry.

Electrical Performance Characteristics
CVTs are available in various capacitance ratings with different accuracy classes and thermal ratings, designed to meet IEC and ANSI standards for revenue metering and protective relaying.

Tables and Figures
The document includes detailed tables of electrical, mechanical, and physical data for different capacitance types (Standard, Medium, Intermediate, Extra High) and figures illustrating the configurations of CVTs and CCs.

Global Trench Facilities
Contact information for Trench facilities in Austria, China, and Canada is provided, along with details for branches across Europe, including France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. The document notes that the information is subject to change without notice and was printed in Canada in February 2012, emphasizing the reliability of the company's power solutions with the tagline 'THE PROVEN POWER.'

Capacitor Voltage Transformers - International-3

Bellows puncture pin designed to provide for the release of internal pressure in the event of abnormal service conditions. Puncture pin operation results in an early indication to safely remove the unit from service. Line Trap mounting directly onto the CVT or CC is possible with some ratings (please consult factory). Guaranteed minimum creepage distances of our standard porcelain and composite insulators exceed ANSI and IEC requirements (referto datasheet information below). Higher creepage distances are available for higher pollution applications. Maintenance-free oil filled cast aluminum basebox...
