Power line filters type NLFA

Description

For the reduction of line carried noise from the mains. The power line filter filters both phases and
is connected to ground. Tl¡e filter is built into the cubicle of air insulated regulating transformers
or attached to their tank. Special arrangements are possible for big systems depending of local
installation conditions.

Their power rating is adapted to regulating transformer rated power.

Low voltag protection device type NSP

t

Description

Used to prevent inadmissíble high recovery over-voltages on the test transformer in case of
disruptive discharges. on the test object. The low voltage protection device NSp acts by opening
the power supply and by short-circuiting the test transformer within a few hundred micróse'condsl
This avoids repetitive flash-overs in the test object.

Test transfolrmers are used for the generation

of high AC rloltages, and are part of a complete
test systeml The Pz(T) type test transformers
are of the so-called insulating shell design. The
merits of tfrii design are:

ú small d¡mensions and reduced floor space

requirements in the test laboratory
. Cascade connections by superimpos¡ng two,
three or four transfonTrer units, w¡thout an
additional requirement in floor space (pzr

The windings are of layer-wo-und design with a high capacitive coupling between layers and
turns. This provides a high transient voltage withstand capability in case of external
td.rign
breaKdovlns.

PrimarL,rding

The primary winding is divided into two groups. When the two winding groups are connected in
parallel and the regulating transformer is set to 100 7o voltage, the transformer reaches its
nominal ,voltage. When the two winding groups are connected in series, only 50 o/" of rated
voltage irre attained with the same regulating transformer setting. This allows to test at low
voltages livith higher precision.

Gro^pensaiion. Only PZT'transformers

To compensate the capacitive load, an..iron-cored compensating reactor with air gaps is
connected in parallel with the coupling winding of the test transformei. The compensating-reactor
allows a reduction il
lle input power and, in the case of cascade circuits, á uniform- voltage
distribution in the individualwindings. This reactor is placed on the transformer upper cover.

Cooling

The transformers w¡th high output currents or high duty cycles house an upper cooling-cover. The
cooling equipment consists of a tank with cooling ribs. The insulating oir is conductedlrough this
tank by natural convectiorr.

Top electrode

Depending of the transformer rated voltage, a top electrode is placed on its upper cover. The top
electrode is either an aluminium toroid or a Polycon electrode.

Base frarne

Normally the test transforrrrer is placed directly on the floor. Upon request, the base frame can be
equipped with air-cushions.
