Precautions For The Use Of Voltage Transformers

1. Before the voltage transformer is put into operation, the test and inspection shall be carried out according to the items specified in the regulations. For example, measuring polarity, connection group, shaking insulation, nuclear phase sequence, etc.

2. The wiring of the voltage transformer should ensure its correctness, the primary winding should be connected in parallel with the circuit under test, the secondary winding should be connected in parallel with the voltage coil of the connected measuring instrument, relay protection device or automatic device, and attention should be paid to the correctness of the polarity. .

3. The capacity of the load connected to the secondary side of the voltage transformer should be appropriate, and the load connected to the secondary side of the voltage transformer should not exceed its rated capacity, otherwise, the error of the transformer will increase, and it is difficult to achieve the correctness of the measurement.

4. No short circuit is allowed on the secondary side of the voltage transformer. Since the internal impedance of the voltage transformer is very small, if the secondary circuit is short-circuited, a large current will appear, which will damage the secondary equipment and even endanger personal safety. The voltage transformer can be equipped with a fuse on the secondary side to protect itself from being damaged by a short circuit on the secondary side. If possible, a fuse should also be installed on the primary side to protect the high-voltage power grid from endangering the safety of the primary system due to the failure of the high-voltage winding or lead of the transformer.

5. In order to ensure the safety of people when touching measuring instruments and relays, the secondary winding of the voltage transformer must be grounded at one point. Because after grounding, when the insulation between the primary and secondary windings is damaged, it can prevent the high voltage of the instrument and the relay from endangering personal safety.

6. Short circuit is absolutely not allowed on the secondary side of the voltage transformer.
