Power Voltage Transformers

Introduction Trench Power Voltage Transformers (Power VTs) combine the attributes of an inductive voltage transformer with the application of a distribution transformer, therefore they are the perfect solution wherever low voltage is needed and high voltage is available. Power VTs simply have to be connected to the high voltage overhead line to provide power at low voltage. Due to this direct connection to the transmission line, the reliability of Power VTs is very high, as they are not dependent on distribution lines that are more susceptible to outages.

Applications Auxiliary power supply for substations Power supply for cell phone relay stations Auxiliary power for substations is mostly supplied over a tertiary winding of the power transformer. With a Power VT, such a tertiary winding can be avoided, supplying the power needed directly from the transmission line within the substation, while serving as conventional Voltage Transformer at the same time. To improve coverage, cell phone network providers might need to install stations in remote areas where the necessary output power and voltage is not available. With Power VTs it is possible...
