Product catalog summary
Introduction
Trench is a prominent manufacturer specializing in high voltage equipment, particularly Instrument Transformers for transmission class voltages. Their products, including Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) and Coupling Capacitors (CCs), are designed to convert high transmission voltages to standardized low values for metering, protection, and control. CVTs also function as coupling capacitors for high frequency power line carrier signals.
Applications
Trench CVTs and CCs are utilized in electric power substations for various 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 measurement capabilities.
Features
Key features of Trench CVTs and CCs include:
  • Compliance with IEC and ANSI standards.
  • Application range 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 fluids.
  • Maintenance-free design with corrosion-resistant materials.
  • Ferroresonance suppression for improved transient response.
  • Simple field installation with integrated components.
Construction
Trench CVTs are constructed with a high voltage capacitor divider and a basebox containing electromagnetic components. Capacitor sections are hermetically sealed and filled with synthetic dielectric fluid, while the basebox is filled with mineral oil for stability.
Electrical Performance Characteristics
The document details electrical, mechanical, and physical data for various CVTs and CCs, including:
  • Maximum continuous operating voltage.
  • Impulse withstand voltage.
  • Power frequency withstand voltage.
  • Capacitance values.
  • Creepage distances and dimensions.
These specifications ensure compliance with international standards and reliable performance under diverse conditions.
Specifications and Dimensions
A table of specifications for ANSI Standard products is provided, detailing dimensions and weights for various models. Specific measurements for height and weight are included, with notes on adjustments for different mounting types and the option for higher creepage distances upon request.
Notes
  • Values are for ANSI Standard; IEC and other standards are available.
  • Dimension h5 is specific to certain models with an air-filled base box.
  • Adjustments to dimensions and weight are specified for flat base mounting.
  • Higher creepage distances can be requested.
Global Facilities
Contact information for Trench facilities worldwide is listed, including locations in Austria, China, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, with addresses, phone, and fax numbers.
Additional Information
The document notes that information is subject to change without notice and was printed in Canada in February 2012. The Trench Group's website is provided for further reference.

Capacitor Voltage Transformers - North America-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...
