Voltage transformer<br />
We can leave a<br />
voltage transformer in an<br />
open circuit without any danger<br />
but it must never be<br />
short-circuited.<br />
The voltage transformer is intended to provide the secondary circuit<br />
with a secondary voltage that is proportional to that applied to the<br />
primary circuit.<br />
N.B.: IEC standard 60 186 defines the conditions which voltage transformers must meet.<br />
It comprises a primary winding, a magnetic core, one or several<br />
secondary windings, all of which is encapsulated in an insulating resin.<br />
Characteristics<br />
The rated voltage factor (KT)<br />
The rated voltage factor is the factor by which the rated primary voltage<br />
has to be multiplied in order to determine the maximum voltage for which<br />
the transformer must comply with the specified temperature rise and<br />
accuracy recommendations. According to the network's earthing<br />
arrangement, the voltage transformer must be able to withstand this<br />
maximum voltage for the time that is required to eliminate the fault.<br />

N.B.: lower rated durations are possible when agreed to by the manufacturer and the user.<br />
Generally, voltage transformer manufacturers comply with the following<br />
values: VT phase/earth 1.9 for 8 h and VT phase/phase 1.2 continuous.<br />
