High Voltage Capacitor Voltage Transformers, type WN/WP/WS

ABB offers mixed dielectric type capacitor voltage transformers that cater to the dual application needs of
measurement and carrier communication.

Main features

Hermetically sealed with metallic bellows
cushion on top

EMU (electro magnetic unit) protection
by spark gap across primary winding of
intermediate PT

Ratio error adjustment by compensating
winding on PT primary winding, phase
angle error adjustment by variable choke
with adjustable air gap

Intermediate capacitor tap connection
through an epoxy bushing housed in the
porcelain insulator and tank

High protection against corrosion – all ferrous
parts and housing (tank) are hot dip galvanized

Cost-effective design

Dual application – designed for measurement,
protection and carrier communication

High reliability – robust design ensures
excellent surge withstand level

Low weight, compact and easy to install

Ease of transportation – shipped in
easy-to-assemble parts

It can be connected without danger at the end
of unloaded line

Design and construction

The Capacitor Voltage Transformer type WN/WP/WS
consists of a capacitive potential divider and an
inductive medium voltage circuit. The inductive part
is immersed in mineral oil and sealed inside a steel
tank. As per the required rating, one, two or three
capacitor units are mounted on the tank and used as
capacitive potential divider(s). These consist of
hermetically sealed capacitor stacks that are made
of paper and PP film dielectric impregnated in
transformer oil with a metal bellow.

Quality Assurance
The CVTs and CCs are designed to
comply with IEC: 60186/ 60358 and IS: 3156.
CVTs complying with ANSI/IEEE standards
C57.13 or other standards can also be provided
on request.

ABB’s state-of-the-art facility at Vadodara is

ISO 9001 certified, which covers all aspects of
production and testing to ensure the highest
quality standards. The facility is also EHS
certified for environment and occupational health
and safety management systems.
