In electrical substations of higher voltage levels, capacitor voltage transformers, also called CVTs, or CCVTs, can be found.

VOTANO 100 now uses a new method that can determine the capacitances C1 and C2 on all CVT designs, combining two variable-frequency measurements at low voltage. It injects a constant current into the secondary winding and measures current and voltage accordingly. The first measurement determines the frequency dependent short-circuit impedance including C2.

The second measurement determines the frequency dependent short-circuit impedance including C1 and C2.

From both measurements, C1, C2, the capacitive ratio Kc, and the total capacitance Cr can be calculated. This method for measuring the CVT capacitance is integrated as a new test in VOTANO 100. VOTANO 100 can measure both the capacitance and the accuracy of the CVT, which is ideal for diagnostic purposes.

Grounding systems are essential for the safe operation of electrical power systems.

They ensure the reliable operation of electronic devices like short-circuit indicators, protection relays and communication devices.

In case of a ground fault in the electrical power system, high currents can flow via the grounding system into the soil which can pose a serious threat to people and equipment.

With regular testing you can ensure the safe operation of your grounding system.
