Current and voltage transformers

for
Low Voltage

Edition 05.07

Operation manual

1. Mounting site
d) The connection shall be correctly done as per the
terminals marks and connection diagram on the name
plate.

Instrument transformers of ALCE shall be mounted in

accordance with following conditions;
a) Ambient temperature: -20C~40C (Avarage temp.:
lower than 35C)

e) The earthing terminal on primary side of grounding

type of instrument transformers shall be absolutely
grounded.

b) Altitude: lower than 1000 meters.

f) The earthing terminal on secondary side and the

mounted base (flame) on the body shall be absolutely
grounded.

c) At the places not exposed to sea - breeze, rain,

snow and sunlight and kept under 90% humidity.
d) At places where the exceeded vapor, oil-vapor,
explosive flammable gas shall not occur.

g) Bolts & Nuts for the connection of cables, busbars

and lead wires shall be firmly fastened.

e) At places not subject to exceeded dust & foreing

particles.

3.Maintenance and inspection

f) At places where exceeded oscillation and impact shall

not occur.

a) Please check instrument transformers once a month

and pay your attention for noise, over - heat, corrosion
and exceeded polluting. It is recommended to put the
thermo-labels on surface of transformers and terminals
portion.

2. How to mount
a) Cable and busbar shall not be directly loaded onto
CT&PT.

b) The operation shall be stopped at least once a year

and the dust & foreing particles shall be wiped off with
dry cloth. At that time, please check the appearance,
the iron-core and looseness of bolts & nuts.

b) Enough distance shall be taken that primary lead

wires and busbars do not approach the surface of
transformers except the connection terminals. Besides,
please draw your attention for corona and partial
discharge not to occur.
c) Secondary lead wires shall be correctly connected to
the terminals and shall not be approached to the surface
of transformers.

With currents lower than 50A it is advisable the use of a wound primary.
With the use of the passing bar model (primary = 1 winding), 1 is possible to obtain
lower current ratios, by passing the wire throw the window a number of turns equal
to the ratio between the primary rated current of the transformer and the desired
primary rated current.

40 / 10 = 4 windings (of the primary) see drawing.
