VT Accuracy Rating

10/04/2008 1:08 AM

Gentlemen,

I have a capacitor voltage transformer with the following specs:

Rated Pri.: 138/(1.732*3) kV

Main Sec.: 110V

Main Burden: 400VA

Max. Thermal Burden: 1000VA

Rated Freq.: 60HZ

Accuracy Rating: 1.2WXYZZ

Question:

1. What is the meaning of 1.2WXYZZ in accuracy rating?

2. How to relate the 1.2WXYZZ with the rated burden?

Can you show some sample computations that involve the accuracy rating?

Thank you,

Elektric

>> Accuracy Rating: 1.2WXYZZ

The accuracy rating you inquired about is an IEEE Standard defined designation that is interpreted as follows:

1.2 => is the accuracy class, 1.2% at the rated burden

WXYZZ => is the burden (or load) connected to the secondary of the instrument transformer.

So this transformer would provide 1.2% accuracy when any of the IEEE defined loads (W, X, Y, or ZZ) are connected, where the following loads and power factor are associated with each of the burden codes:

DESIGNATION, VA, PF
========== ==== =====
W, 12.5, 0.1
X, 25, 0.7
M, 35, 0.2
Y, 75, 0.85
Z, 200, 0.85
ZZ, 400, 0.85
