Capacitor type (refer to as capacitor voltage transformer).
A. Electromagnetic Voltage Transformer
The electromagnetic wound-type VT is similar in
construction to that of the power transformer. The magnetic
circuit is a core-type or shell-type arrangement, with the
windings concentrically wound on one leg of the core. A
barrier is placed between the primary and secondary
winding(s) to provide adequate insulation for its voltage
class. In low-voltage applications it is usually a two-winding
arrangement, but in medium-voltage and high-voltage
transformers, a third (tertiary) winding is often added,
isolated from the other windings. This provides more
flexibility for using the same VT in metering and protective
purposes simultaneously. As mentioned previously, the VT is
available in single-bushing or dual-bushing arrangements. A
single bushing has one lead accessible for connection to the
high-voltage conductor, while the other side of the winding is
grounded. The grounded terminal (H2) may be accessible
somewhere on the VT body near the base plate. The dual-
bushing arrangement has two live terminal connections, and
both are fully rated for the voltage to which it is to be connected.
