Capacitor Voltage Transformer (CVT Or CCVT)

Capacitor voltage transformer consists of a series of capacitors connected in series on top of a tank. The electromagnetic unit is inside the tank. The electromagnetic unit consists of an . inductive transformer(5), a series reactor(8) and ; auxiliary elements. These capacitors form a voltage divider (2, 3) between the high voltage terminal (1) and the high-frequency terminal
