Oil-insulated voltage transformers are used to convert high transmission line voltages (up to 550kV) to standardized low and easily measurable values, which will be used for metering, protection and control of the high voltage system. As such, the need for accurate and reliable voltage transformation is essential.
The reliability and security of Trench oil-insulated instrument transformers is based on over 100 years of innovation with oil-insulated units operating under a wide range of environmental conditions. Oil-insulated voltage transformers also ensure suitable electrical insulation between high voltage and low voltage measuring equipment.
The oil-immersed inductive voltage transformers are compliant to the latest international safety standard requirements in terms of explosion-proof, insulating material multiple chopped ageing, seismic qualification and extreme temperature conditions.
Modern production and testing facilities ensure reliable delivery and operation over the complete life time.
Up to
multiple chopped waves
are performed to prove the insulating material of Trench oil-insulated instrument transformers.
Thousands of oil-immersed voltage transformers installed and in service for more than 50 years all over the world and in all environmental conditions are the best guarantee of the quality and reliability of our products.
