GRADING CAPACITORS

800 kV

Grading Capacitors utilizing conventional fluid insulation are used within HV networks for various purposes, such as carrier application, transient overvoltage reduction or circuit breaker switching capability enhancement, with the proven Trench design and highest reliability.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • For voltage levels up to 800 kV
  • High customization range to match CB mechanical and electrical parameters
  • Fully type-tested according to international standards

GENERAL

  • Used in combination with Circuit Breakers, CBs, to reduce the transient overvoltage that can occur during switching operations > Transient recovery voltage, TRV, capacitor
  • Used for the installation of line traps on the top of CCs
  • For coupling and decoupling HF signals to the power line
