What is the major difference between P.T. & C.V.T ? Why CVT
is used in HT Transmission line in place of P.T.?
Answer Posted / engr. l. o. osuji
Hi Sharma,
Answer #2 is correct but let me add more to it. For
voltages like 11 and 33kV the voltage transformers may be
referred to as P.Ts unlike 132kV etc where CVTs are used.
For either 11 or 33kV the magnetic part with iron core is
not bulky hence are used directly to step down 11 or 33kV
to say 110V used for protection and metering.
In the case of CVTs series capacitors are used to drop down
(note, not stepping down) the voltage i.e.like a voltage
divider from 132kV to a manageable value that can be
transformed like the 11 or 33kV P.T. Take a careful look at
the CVT you will find out that the bottom part is the
transformer part. That part may be transforming say 13kV to
110V. If 132kV were to be transformed directly to 110V then
the voltage transformer or P.T as it were will be so bulky
that there may be little space for other devices. Both are
for the same purpose but the use of each depends on the
voltage level.
