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.

We are all aware about the present and increasing risk of devastating wildfires all over the world, especially those recently experienced in Australia and the western United States. Prolonged dry conditions in these regions have greatly increased the risk of wildfires starting and spreading with alarming speed.

Wildfires cause not only massive destruction to the power system infrastructure, often that same infrastructure is discovered to be the initial source of the fire. After all, it only takes a spark in dry, windy conditions.

In this episode of Energy Talks, Robert Wang, Recloser Control Solutions Product Manager at OMICRON and Justin Henson, Distribution Line Technician Specialist at Pacific Gas & Electric Company, discuss how the reliable operation of recloser controls in the power grid plays an important role in wildfire mitigation at electric utilities. Justin also describes how PG&E implements its zero-tolerance policy for wildfire sparks caused by downed power lines.

The conventional method for PD measurement according to the IEC 60270 standard allows a precise calibration but requires a sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the measurement circuit – this is however very difficult to obtain when performing PD measurements on site.

In this episode of Energy Talks, OMICRON PD application expert Ulrike Broniecki discusses how partial discharge (PD) measurements performed in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) range can be a reliable complementary or alternative solution to conventional PD testing in noisy onsite testing environments. She also highlights the benefits of using the UHF PD measurement method on gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), gas-insulated lines (GIL), oil-filled transformers and high-voltage power cable terminations.
