1.1 About this device

1.1.1 What is the device?

This device is a ICO type current transformer for outdoor use. The

current transformer is used to convert high alternating currents into

smaller, directly measurable currents according to the principle of the

inductive transformer. The secondary side is galvanically separated

from the primary side.

Other special properties of the ICO type current transformer are:

» The transformer is oil-paper insulated and hermetically sealed.

This protects the oil-paper insulation from external inuences and

oil maintenance is not required. A high-quality PCB-free insulating

oil in accordance with IEC and ASTM is used for insulation.

» The external insulation is provided by a polymer hollow core insu‐

lator. This consists of a glass-bre reinforced inner tube to which

silicone shields with aluminium anges are attached on the out‐

side. The screws on the insulator ange and the ttings at the top

and bottom are made of stainless steel and are tightened at the

factory according to the specications.

»Composite and porcelain insulators are available to cope with dif‐

ferent degrees of pollution and load classes. The standard model is

already designed for 31 mm/kV and load class 2.

» Corrosion-resistant components, a stainless steel expansion cell

and chambered O-ring seals ensure that it is maintenance-free

over the entire product life cycle.

»High-voltage windings with double enamel-coated magnet wire

ensure insulation between the windings.

» To change or vary the transformation ratio of a transformer, the

secondary windings can optionally be tapped (special equipment,

Chapter 1.4.2 Secondary tapping on page 11)

» The secondary connections are located in the marine-grade cast

aluminium terminal box at the front of the transformer base. A

removable and eld drillable aluminium plate is available on the

underside of the terminal box for the customer's cable glands. The

terminal box is prepared for the operation of an optional condensa‐

tion heating element.

» The electrical congurations from 72 kV nominal voltage up to the

voltage series listed on the device, maximum 245 kV, allow connec‐

tion to digital and conventional measuring and protection devices

such as switchgear, switching device combinations and power dis‐

tribution systems in connection with secondary devices (relays,

meters, indication instruments).

» An oil drain screw enables access to the oil chamber in the trans‐

former base. The oil level indicator on the head of the transformer

is optimised for the operator's viewing angle.

» Four transport eyes on the transformer base facilitate proper han‐

dling during installation.

For further information or details regarding the shield shape, ash‐

over distance and creepage path, please refer to the

Dimensional

drawing.

The device meets the relevant VDE-, IEC- and EN-standards. You will

nd the electrical data on the

Rating plate.

The type designation and specication of the device can be found

on the

Datasheet and the device's

Rating plate. The rating

plate is usually located at the front of the secondary terminal box.

Upon request, the ICO type transformer will be factory designed to

meet all national and international standards including IEEE /

ANSI, CSA, IEC as well as all customer requirements.

1.1.2 What is the purpose of the device?

The task of the current transformer is to transfer currents proportion‐

ally and phase-true such that they are detectable for measuring equip‐

ment at low potential.

The current transformer translates high currents into lower, directly

measurable currents, which are adapted to the downstream secondary

technology. The electrical congurations are suitable for digital and

conventional measuring and protection devices.

- Depending on the version, - the ICO type current transformer is suit‐

able for use at a maximum voltage for operating equipment (Um) of

72,5 kV, 123 kV, 145 kV, 170 kV or 245 kV.

The ICO type current transformers can be equipped with windings for

measuring and protection purposes. They are intended for use in

» switchgear, switching device combinations,

» power distribution systems in connection with secondary devices

(relays, meters, indication instruments).
