ABB Current Transformer TG (72.5 - 800 kV)

Gas-insulated instrument transformer for enhanced safety and reliability

TG is a gas-insulated high voltage current transformer based on a top-core design, able to withstand current up to 4,000 A and designed for voltages from 72.5 to 800 kV. Primary and secondary windings are located inside the upper part of the transformer. Some important features of the product are:

• Suitable for both metering and protection
• Short primary conductor with low thermal losses suitable for high rated current
• Magnetic cores made of laminated steel with oriented grain and a high level of permeability
• Windings made of electrolytic copper
• Safety margin for normal wind loads, stress from conductors and seismic forces
• Remote control of the internal insulation level by means of pressure gauge provided with an alarm threshold and lock threshold
• A pressure relief device protects the apparatus from internal overpressure

Applications

• Revenue metering
• Protective relaying
• System control and indication of power flow

Why ABB?
For the TG combination of SF6 gas insulation and with a composite insulator, offers several advantages:

• Explosion proof design
• Non-flammable
• Absence of partial discharge
• Dielectric mean not subjected to aging
• Higher performance in very heavy polluted environments
• Maintenance free
• Life cycle of 30 years
