Product Overview
Functional Definition
The JDZW-10R / JDZ12 series voltage transformers are precision electromagnetic instruments designed for accurate voltage measurement, energy metering, and relay protection applications in medium-voltage AC power systems. These transformers utilize electromagnetic induction principles to provide galvanically isolated secondary voltage signals proportional to primary voltage. The series features integrated fuse protection matched to transformer short-circuit capacity, fully-enclosed vacuum cast epoxy resin construction, and dual secondary voltage outputs (100V for metering, 220V for circuit breaker operation).

Working Principle
Operating on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the voltage transformer features a laminated magnetic core with primary winding connected to system voltage and secondary windings providing standardized output voltages. The magnetic flux generated by primary voltage induces proportional voltage in secondary windings, delivering dual-output configuration (100V for instrumentation, 220V for auxiliary circuits) through connected burden impedance.
System Application Position
- Medium Voltage Distribution: 3-10kV pad-mounted transformers, ring main units, and switchgear
- Energy Metering: Revenue-grade electricity measurement systems
- Protection Circuits: Overvoltage, undervoltage, and distance protection schemes
- Circuit Breaker Control: 220V auxiliary supply for breaker operation mechanisms
- SCADA Integration: Supervisory control and voltage monitoring systems
Structural Overview
Vacuum cast epoxy resin construction with fully-enclosed design ensures superior insulation performance, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength. Integrated internal fuse eliminates external fuse requirements, simplifying installation. Primary terminals accommodate 200A elbow-type cable connectors with sealed high-voltage interface. Secondary terminals feature sealed terminal covers with anti-tampering lead seals, suitable for outdoor enclosure applications with enhanced safety against electric shock and unauthorized access.

- Secondary terminals (100V output): a / x
- Secondary terminals (220V output): ad / xd
Terminal markings follow standard VT polarity conventions. Under normal operating conditions, when primary terminal A is positive with respect to X, secondary terminal ‘a’ is positive with respect to ‘x’. Correct terminal identification shall be observed to ensure metering and protection accuracy.
