#77: Measuring C-Divider Capacitance on Capacitor Voltage Transformers

In this episode, OMICRON voltage transformer testing experts Thomas Bischof and Felix Feustel introduce the new measurement method they developed to determine C-divider capacitance on capacitor voltage transformers (CVTs) using OMICRON’s VOTANO 100 measurement system. They describe the significance of their new, patented measurement method and how it can now be automatically and reliably performed regardless of the CVT design.

Discover a new method for reliably determining C-divider capacitances on CVTs with OMICRON’s VOTANO 100.

Over several years, voltage transformers worldwide have been effectively diagnosed using the model-based approach of OMICRON’s VOTANO 100 testing system. However, determining the capacitance values of capacitive dividers, also known as C-dividers, has been an unresolved parameter calculated from the system’s automatic measurements.

Thomas and Felix were also guests on Energy Talks episode 34, where they discussed How to Test Voltage Transformers Like a Pro.
