361-7027: Potential Transformer

The Potential Transformer is a type of instrument transformer used in electrical power systems. Its primary purpose is to step down high voltage to a lower, more manageable voltage suitable for measurement, control, and protection purposes. In power generation systems, it's important to monitor the output voltage of the generator to ensure that it is operating within the desired range. Potential transformers step down the high voltage generated by the generator to a lower level that is suitable for measurement by voltage meters and other monitoring instruments. This enables operators to keep track of the generator's output voltage and make adjustments as needed. Attributes: • 4000 Voltage Direct Current (VDC) at 1 minute dielectric between windings • Steps down high voltage to a lower (4:1) • Provides precise voltage transformation to ensure accurate measurements and reliable protection • Enhances safety by isolating high-voltage circuits from low-voltage measurement and control circuits • Coil - Copper magnet wire, polyester enameled or polyurethane base coat with polyamide top coat rated 150°C min Applications: This Potential Transformer is used in generators to step down high generator output voltage for accurate measurement and protection purposes.
