Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT)

Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT), are used for voltage metering and protection in high voltage network systems. They transform the high voltage into low voltage adequate to be processed in measuring and protection instruments secondary equipment, such as relays and recorders).

A Voltage Transformer (VT) isolates the measuring instruments from the high voltage of the monitored circuit. VTs are commonly used for metering and protection in the electrical power industry.

 

Main applications of CVTs in HV Networks

 

  • Voltage Measuring: They accurately transform transmission voltages down to useable levels for revenue metering, protection and control purposes
  • Insulation: They guarantee the insulation between HV network and LV circuits ensuring safety condition to control room operators
  • HF Transmissions: They can be used for Power Line Carrier (PLC) coupling
  • Transient Recovery Voltage: When installed in close proximity to HV/EHV Circuit Breakers, CVT’s own High Capacitance enhance C/B short line fault / TRV performance
