Types and designs
• Dead Tank type - A double bushing design and the most commonly used. It is reliable, easy to handle and has fewer leakage points.
• Dead Tank Top-Bottom design - A single bushing design with a top tank and a bottom tank; the core-coil assembly is placed in the bottom tank.
Ratings - 33 kV, 22 kV and 11 kV potential transformers, single-phase and three-phase, with multiple secondary windings.
Applications
• Accurate metering and reliable protection on outdoor systems up to 33 kV.
• Outdoor installations of power utilities.
Frequently asked questions
