SF6 insulated current transformer are used to convert high transmission line currents (up to 6000 A) 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 current transformation is essential.
The reliability and security of Trench gas-insulated instrument transformers is based on over 50 years of innovation with gas-insulated units operating under a wide range of environmental conditions. Current transformers also ensure suitable electrical insulation between high voltage and low voltage measuring equipment.
Our gas-insulated current 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 guarentee not only short delivery times but also a reliable operation for many years.
Up to kV
operation voltage
Trench SF6 CTs have proven their reliability for the highest requirements for decades.
Thousands of gas-insulated current transformers installed and in service for more than 50 years all over the world and in all environmental conditions are the best proof of the quality and reliability of our products.
