Introduction on Current Application of Voltage Transformer

Abstract

As an important equipment, voltage transformer is widely used in power grid to obtain voltage signal and protect the system. In this paper, the voltage transformers in power system are classified according to the working principle. The working principle and characteristics of potential transformer (PT), capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), electronic voltage transformer (EVT) and optical voltage transducer (OVT) are briefly analyzed. Besides, this paper also introduces the principle, category and characteristics of voltage transformer, as well as the application and development of voltage transformer in power system.
