Capacitor voltage divider RGK

distribution

Resistive capacitive voltage dividers type RGK (RC divider) are used in high voltage networks within the 72.5-550 kV range. They divide the primary voltage into a standardised, equivalent secondary voltage for meters, measuring and protection devices. The active part of the RC divider consists of capacitive and parallel connected resistive dividing elements. The length of the active part extends along the entire insulator length, which results in linear voltage distribution. Both elements are calibrated to each other and provide accurate transient voltage signals from the high voltage side to the low voltage side. The RC divider enables very high frequency bandwidth; even direct voltages (DC) can be measured. The secondary elements, like adjustment and overvoltage protection components, are located in the terminal box together with the equivalent burden replications. The cover plate of the terminal box can be opened laterally. The connecting sockets for the measuring cables are located on the bottom side of the terminal box. The connection of the secondary output voltage can either be implemented by analogue via a shielded measuring cable or by optionally digital using a fibre optic cable. The RC dividers are factory calibrated and will be delivered with specified measuring cable.
