INTRODUCTION :
Voltage transformer is regarded of two types as
1) Electromagnetic Voltage Transformer or Potential
Transformer (PT) 2) Capacitive Voltage Transformer
(CVT). Electromagnetic Voltage Transformer is a
conventional type transformer that contains mainly of
primary and secondary winding. But Capacitive Voltage
Transformer is different in construction and contains a
Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) and a Electro
Magnetic Voltage Transformer (EMV). The CVTs are
used for different purposes like measurement, protection
and for Carrier Communication also.
CVT is used with its primary side connected
directly either between two phases or one phase and
earth, depending upon the requirement and application.
But the general practice of use is between phase and
earth. Secondary winding is connected across the rated
burden of loads. According to the application and
suitability of CVT the number of cores is chosen in the
system. These cores are generally used for metering or
protection purpose in the secondary circuit. So it is
categorized as
1. Measuring Voltage Transformer (Metering core)
2. Protection Voltage Transformer (Protection core)
2. Basic Construction
The construction of CVT depends upon the
arrangement of capacitor unit and electromagnetic unit
on the equipment. Basically CVT comprises of two
important units.
1. CDU (Capacitor Divider Unit)
2. EMU (Electromagnetic Unit)

2.4.2: - Functions of LA
LA is also connected in parallel to the circuit
and drain coil. The function of Lightening Arrestor is to
limit the voltage peaks to a harmless value for the circuit
that comes from the line.
It has following specifications.
i. Rated Voltage = 660V
ii. Maximum Impulse Spark Over Voltage, Peak
Value 1.2/50s wave = 3300v
iii. Rated discharge current peak value 8/20s
wave = 5 KA
3. Working Principle
It is already discussed under the basic
construction of CVT that it consists of a Capacitor
Potential Divider in conjunction with an Electromagnetic
Intermediate Transformer. This CVT is connected across
the phase conductor and earth. So the voltage (Line
Voltage / 3) becomes available across the primary side
of CVT.
Now due to Capacitive Voltage Divider Unit
and use of C1 (HV Capacitor) on the upper stack,
considerable amount of voltage drops across the
capacitance C1. After drop of the voltage, a suitable and
required quantity in the range of 10KV/ 3 to 20KV/ 3
becomes available across the EMU. This range of
voltage (10KV/ 3 to 20KV/ 3) is selected according to
the design and different voltage class of the transformers.
Electromagnetic Unit Intermediate voltage transformer
with compensating reactor in series with it, steps down
the available voltage (10KV/ 3 to 20KV/ 3) to the
desired secondary voltage of 110V/ 3 across the
different secondary windings. Finally different secondary
windings are made available at the secondary terminal
box for connection of the secondary circuit.

For proper adjustment of circuit and to develop resonant
circuit
XL= (XC1 * XC2) / (XC1+ XC2)
But from the practical study of the circuit it is seen that
XC2 is very small compared to XC1 .
So the above equation can be written as XL = XC1
L =1/ C1 Or L= 1/ 2 C1

So it concludes that Y ph CVT core is in
REVERSE POLARITY
From the readings and vector analysis of the
measured currents, it get concluded that yph VT has
some polarity problem. Then the polarity of yph VT
was checked and found with reversely connected
internally. The same was rectified.
