Current transformers type JGF are used in high voltage switchgear within the 245-550 kV range. They transform high current into standardised, equivalent values for meters, measuring and protection devices.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Current transformers type JGF are used in high voltage switchgear within the 245-550 kV range. They transform high current into standardised, equivalent values for meters, measuring and protection devices.

The current transformer section is located in the pressure-resistant head housing. The current transformer cores are fitted in a protective core shell made of massive cast aluminium, which is connected short-circuit proof to the bushing. The secondary outlets are passed through the SF₆ /air bushing in the connection terminal box on the base construction of the insulator.

The current distribution along the insulator is optimised by a special layout of the control electrode inside the silicone composite insulator.

The housing components consist of helium-tight, corrosion-resistant cast aluminium. All housing components under pressure are individually typetested according to applicable pressure vessel standards.

The SF₆ gas density is monitored temperature-compensated by a gas density monitor with alarm contacts. The special design means the function of the gas density monitor can be checked without dismounting it.

A corrosion-resistant metal rupture disc, protected by a metal cover, located at the top of the head housing ensures safe pressure relief in case of error.

The generously designed terminal box is equipped with a cover that opens sidewards.

Pure SF₆ gas is used for ambient temperatures up to -40°C. The transformer is filled with a mixed gas for lower ambient temperatures up to -60°C.

Advantages of
current transformers

• High operating safety through optimal current distribution in the field-controlled bushing
   
• Low weight and high creepage resistance through the use of composite insulators
   
• High flexibility due to simple primary and secondary changeover
   
• High operating safety through pressure relief with rupture disc

HIGHLIGHTS

Easy
primary changeover

• A clear and easy primary changeover with a ratio of 1:2 or 1:2:4 is available.
   
• The primary changeover is adjusted with one metal plate at each side of the head only.
   
• No need to dismount or move the primary connections during adjustment.

Excellent protection
against moisture

• The inner side of the instrument transformer is protected against moisture by means of special sealing rings.
   
• All housings are designed with a drain-age area to protect the sealing surfaces of the housings against rain. This significantly reduces crevice corrosion.
   
• The housing elements are connected with special stainless steel screws. They are designed in such a way that no humidity can enter the screw hole.

Installation-friendly
terminal box

• The generously sized terminal box with a cover that can be opened sidewards, is secured with captive screws. It can accommodate terminal blocks, fuses, spark gaps and sealable covers.
   
• The terminal box is equipped as standard with a blind flange. Cable glands can be installed on request.
   
• The terminal box has a protected ventilation aperture to prevent condensation.
