Voltage Transformers Author: Velimir Lackovic Voltage transformers are constructed in two configurations based on their intended purpose: magnetic voltage transformers (VT) and capacitive voltage transformers (CVT). The magnetic voltage transformers are more economical for voltages up to 145 kV, and the capacitive voltage transformers are more economical for voltages higher than 145 kV. A CVT…
Power Transformer Testing
Course number
EE-03-955
PDH credits
3
Power Transformer Testing Author: Velimir Lackovic Transformers may be tested using either AC or DC voltage. AC voltage is preferable to DC voltage for transformer testing because it simulates the internal stress that the transformers face during operating conditions. This course is suitable for engineers interested in learning about commonly used transformer testing procedures. It…
