Voltage Sensor
Type: VS (voltage only)
Mounting Orientation: Any Direction
Voltage: 7.5 – 500 kV (line to line)
BIL: 95 – 1470 kV
Accuracy: +/- 5%
Description
A light weight monitoring insulator (data collection device) capable of reproducing an in phase proportional sinusoidal voltage wave for communication to customer devices (relays, rtu’s, etc.).
Application
Replaces conventional oil-filled PT’s, VT’s, CCVT’s and optical sensors in many applications such as voltage monitoring, hot line indication, synchronization checks, and auto-sectionalizing or SCADA operation of switches.
Features & Benefits
- Small footprint, compact size
- Less than 10% of the weight of oil-filled PT’s; minimizes supporting structure size and cost
- Can be mounted in any orientation, including vertical and under-hung; provides flexibility in areas with limited clearances
- No PT Ferro resonance
- No catastrophic failure if voltage outputs are shorted
- Environmentally friendly; no oil or SF6 used as a dielectric; no special material handling or disposal procedures
- No galvanic connection between potential and ground; electrical isolation is provided through the use of an isolated high potential
- Generates safe, low voltage outputs
