  • Page 3 Attention! Anyone involved in the transportation, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of OTCF Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVT) should read these instructions before taking any action. Never work on high voltage equipment without first having grounded its metallic parts, since it is inherent to capacitances the possibility of electric charges accumulated with voltages at lethal levels.

    Instruction Manual 1. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM The OTCF Capacitor Voltage Transformer (CVT) is an assembly of a capacitive voltage divider (CD) and an electromagnetic unit (EMU). Depending on the rated voltage, the CD may contain of one or more capacitive modules with an intermediate voltage terminal through a medium voltage bushing which feeds the EMU.
