A coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) is composed of two stacks of capacitors which step the primary voltage down to a lower voltage potential transformer. These are typically used on 100kV and above, and the potential transformer is often around 15kV on the primary side.
There are two reasons to use CCVTs over PTs (potential Transformers) - at the above voltage levels, they are cheaper, and they can be used for power line carrier signal injection.
Under transient conditions, CCVTs typically won't perform as well as PTs, and also may have worse accuracy ratings, so are often not acceptable for metering purposes.

∙ 12y agoA 'voltage transformer' (UK terminology) or 'potential transformer' (US terminology) is an instrument transformer, which is used to enable high-voltages to be measured with regular (often, moving-iron) voltmeters, while electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the high-voltage primary circuit. VTs (PTs) are also used with protection relays.

∙ 12y agoA CVT or CCVT is a cheaper version of a potential transformer. Typically a CVT will have a ~15kV potential transformer, and the primary side will be connected to two stacks of capacitors that form a voltage divider. The CVT is significantly cheaper since the internal PT does not have to be near as large as a full sized PT would be.

∙ 11y agoA potential transformer (or voltage transformer) is used to reduce high-voltages to values that can be remotely monitored with oridinary voltmeters, or to to provide inputs to protective relays. It also electrically-isolates meters/relays from the high-voltage systems. They are mutual transformers which work on the same principle as any other step-down transformer -i.e. a voltage applied to the primary winding results in a lower voltage induced into its secondary.

Why you are using the capacitor voltage transformer in Sub station?
To Step down high voltages we require CVT,because it will step down the volatge by uisng capacitor in its circuit.
What is difference between substation and transformer?
AnswerIt is a large encased group of metal plates about the size of a small house with 2 sets of insulated copper wires wrapped around the plates -an input and output - to convert a very high supply line voltage - maybe 44 thousand volts to a lower voltage of 2200 volts that runs down the power line poles in your neighborhood. Look at your street's power poles and you will see a mini substation that converts he 2200 volt to 220 volts and may supply several homes. Actually a substation transformer for a distribution substation will reduce the incoming voltage from 115,000 volts or 69,000 volts to a lower voltage closer to 7200 volts that runs down the power poles in your neighborhood. At your house there will be a small transformer that reduces the voltage from 7200 volts to 240 volts to meet the needs in your home.Actually both are wrong !!
What is compact sub station?
ait is a under ground were there are trains
Why current transformer secondary side short circuit?
A current transformer (or CT) is constructed in a specific way so as to step down the current in a high power circuit for measuring or protective relaying purposes. Typically, it will have a toroidal-shaped iron core with the secondary windings wrapped around it. the primary "winding" is usually the conductor of the main power system passing directly through the hole in the center of the CT. As a result of this construction, if the secondary windings are left open, a very large flux can develop, resulting in damage to the CT and possibly even the other equipment it is attached to. As such, if the CT is not going to be used, its secondary windings need to be shorted.
Why is star connection used in a three phase transformer?
The power of all three phases can be transmitted on three conductors.A star connection, as opposed to a delta, provides a grounding reference. Also, for ground faults on the secondary (assuming no delta third winding, or source third winding) will be a direct ratio similar to phase faults, instead of 57%. Another reason is to avoid the inherent phase shift involved in a delta/star configured transformer.Another AnswerA 'star-connected' secondary is the standard European connection for a three-phase distribution transformer, as it provides a line voltage of 400 V together with a phase voltage (i.e. line to neutral) of 230 V.
How does your community get electrisity?
In the UK: Electricity is sent through metal pylons overhead which have electrical cables transport electricity to sub-stations in a specific area.The electric voltage travelling through the cables is too high to plug into a household, so it goes through a transformer at the sub-station which lowers the voltage so that it is suitable for household usage.
Is it possible to decrease voltage from 1562v to 30v using stepdown transformer?
Transformers step voltage up or down, so yes this is possible. This is a change of 1562/30 = 52, which is pretty high. It may be difficult to find a transformer made for this purpose. I've never heard of 1.56kV as a standard voltage. This seems a strange voltage. What is this coming from? A; Yes considering that a sub station will take transmission hi voltage to 16kv disribuition. and finally 240volts for us. the only consideration is breakdown and efficiency.
What is the voltage coming out of a station?
Depends on the sub station. It could be 11KV, 33KV, 66KV,110KV, 220KV, 400 KV etc
What is The difference between the voltage going into and coming out of a Town is always how many volts?
A: The difference is none it is called transmission of power. the voltage is very hi 475 kv fed into a sub station Locally at the street level it is reduced to a lower voltage level and that is called distribution from a sub station that has transformers to do that.

What is meant by a substation?
Sub station generally means an electrical sub station where in there are high voltage incoming transmission lines and few step down transformers with associated power devices for further power distribution.
How electrical power is transmitted from power plan to the consumer?
electrical power from the power plant to consumer goes through the transmission & distribution system, first we transmit the high voltage power from the power plant to sub station in sub station we step down the voltage according to need & distribute it to the demand.
Why are power lines that travel long distances often run at high voltages?
The simple answer is that voltage drops over distance. To avoid this loss, power companies distribute electricity in kilovolts (kV). This is then stepped down to domestic voltage (220-240V in Europe, 110V in USA etc) at a local sub-station (basically a large transformer), before reaching your home.
Why do large communities use power station?
Not only large communities but small communities as well all have power stations or using the trade vernacular, sub stations. They can be a large as one acre in area or as small as three transformers on a platform between two power poles.The duty of the sub station is to start reducing the voltage from the very high transmission voltage to a more manageable lower voltage. It has to be kept in mind that as the voltage is lowered the size of the equipment to handle the lower voltage becomes lighter because the insulation factor is lowered.When the voltage leaves the substation, the utility company lines are used to transmit the lowered voltage around the community. When the voltage reaches your home it is reduced once again by the transformer on the poles along the street or in underground primary systems by the pad mount transformers that line the street close to the homes property line.
Is it possible put a 33 kv to 400 v electric transformer inside an apartment building?
Yes, many large buildings are built with electrical vaults to house the electrical distribution system. The high voltage enters the building usually underground, where it connects to a transformer. The secondary side of the transformer is connected to a distribution system where the supply voltage is then sent to the individual apartment sub panels.
How can you know ratting of pt instold at sub station?
Typically the power rating of a sub-station is in Watts. A standard transformer may be 55kva or 55,000 volt amps. Volt amps is the formula for Watts. (V times A equals Watts) Standard home usage is in the neighborhood of 3kw per hour. So a sub-station with three 55kva tranformers might handle 60 homes.
Why you use sub station?
An electricity substation is needed to change the high voltage needed for transmission of power over a distance down to low voltage needed to supply houses etc.
