Oil-insulated combined instrument transformers are used to convert high transmission line voltages and currents (voltage up to 145kV and current up to 5000 A) to standardized low and easily measurable values, which are used for metering, protection and control of the high voltage system. As such, the need for accurate and reliable voltage and current transformation is essential.
The reliability and security of Trench oil-insulated instrument transformers is based on over 100 years of innovation with oil-insulated units operating under a wide range of environmental conditions. Oil-insulated combined instrument transformers also ensure suitable electrical insulation between high voltage and low voltage measuring equipment.
Our oil-insulated combined transformers are compliant to the latest international safety standard requirements in terms of explosion-proof, insulating material multiple chopped ageing, seismic qualification and extreme temperature conditions.
Modern production and testing facilities guarentee not only short delivery times but also a reliable operation for many years.
Reduce by %
the required footprint
for instrument transformers by combining Trench CTs and VTs into one product.
Thousands of oil-immersed combined transformers installed and in service for more than 50 years all over the world and in all environmental conditions are the best guarantee of the quality and reliability of our products.
