What are typical applications for the JDZ9-35 series voltage transformer?

It is used in 35kV outdoor substations and distribution networks for voltage measurement, revenue/technical metering, monitoring, and relay protection (utilities, industrial substations, wind/solar interconnections, etc.).

What are the benefits of epoxy resin cast insulation for outdoor service?

The cast resin structure offers good UV resistance, moisture resistance, pollution withstand capability, and high mechanical strength, reducing maintenance needs and improving long-term outdoor reliability.

How do I determine the rated burden (VA) for the secondary circuits?

Sum the burdens of all connected instruments/relays plus wiring losses, then keep a margin (commonly 20–30%). This helps maintain accuracy and thermal performance within specifications.

Can you supply non-standard voltage ratios?

Yes. Besides common 35000/100V and 35000/220V solutions, voltage ratios and winding configurations can be customized to project requirements after technical confirmation.

How should the secondary circuits be grounded?

Each secondary circuit should be reliably grounded at one point (commonly the x or x1 terminal). This improves personnel safety, limits dangerous potentials under faults, and provides a stable reference for protection.

How is partial discharge verified for acceptance?

Partial discharge testing is performed per GB/T 20840 and IEC 61869. A typical requirement is ≤ 10 pC at 1.2×Um, and a traceable factory test report can be provided with shipment.

Can the transformer be used above 1000m altitude?

Yes, but external insulation coordination should be evaluated and corrected for altitude (e.g., per insulation coordination practice). Enhanced creepage/insulation designs may be required.

What maintenance is recommended for outdoor epoxy resin voltage transformers?

The sealed cast structure requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of the surface condition, terminal tightness, and grounding reliability is recommended. In polluted areas, clean surface deposits according to the utility/owner maintenance schedule.

FAQs

Q1: What are the typical applications for JDZ9-35 voltage transformers?

JDZ9-35 series are used in 35kV outdoor substations and distribution networks for energy metering, voltage monitoring, power quality assessment, and relay protection. Typical installations include utility substations, industrial power distribution systems, wind farms, and solar power plants.

Q2: How does epoxy resin insulation benefit outdoor voltage transformer performance?

Epoxy resin casting provides excellent UV resistance, moisture immunity, resistance to contamination and aging, and superior mechanical strength. These properties significantly extend service life, reduce maintenance requirements, and ensure reliable operation in diverse outdoor environmental conditions compared to traditional oil-paper insulation.

Q3: What is the difference between JDZ9-35 and JDZF9-35 models?

JDZ9-35 features a single secondary winding for single-purpose applications. JDZF9-35 incorporates dual independent secondary windings, allowing simultaneous metering and monitoring/protection functions without burden interaction. The F-series provides greater flexibility for modern substation configurations requiring separate circuits.

Q4: How to determine the appropriate rated burden (VA) for secondary circuits?

Calculate total connected burden by summing all instrument burdens (meters, relays, indicators) plus wiring losses (I²R). For 100V secondary at 0.5A nominal current, typical burdens range from 20-90 VA. Ensure selected VT rated burden exceeds calculated burden with appropriate margin (typically 20-30%) for accuracy and thermal performance.

Q5: Are non-standard voltage ratios available for special applications?

Yes. While standard ratios are 35000/100V and 35000/220V, custom voltage ratios can be manufactured upon request with technical confirmation. Applications may include special metering systems, legacy equipment interfacing, or non-standard system configurations.

Q6: What are the grounding requirements for JDZ9-35 secondary circuits?

One point of each secondary circuit (typically terminal x or x1) must be solidly grounded per IEC 61869-3 and GB/T 20840.3 requirements. This ensures personnel safety, prevents dangerous voltages on secondary terminals during insulation failure, and provides reference potential for protective relaying.

Q7: How is compliance with partial discharge requirements verified?

All units undergo partial discharge testing per GB/T 20840.1-2010 and GB/T 20840.3-2013. Maximum permissible partial discharge is ≤10 pC at 1.2 × Um (maximum system voltage). Test certificates with traceable measurement data are provided with each unit documenting compliance.

Q8: Can JDZ9-35 transformers be used at altitudes above 1000m?

Yes, but insulation coordination must be reviewed. At higher altitudes, air density decreases, reducing external insulation strength. Altitude correction factors per IEC 60071-1 shall be applied to verify clearances and creepage distances. Enhanced insulation designs are available for high-altitude applications.

Q9: What maintenance is required for outdoor epoxy resin voltage transformers?

Maintenance requirements are minimal due to sealed construction. Recommended practices include: periodic visual inspection of epoxy surface condition, terminal connection tightness verification, grounding integrity checks, and cleaning of contamination deposits in polluted environments. Typical inspection interval: annual or per local utility standards.

Q10: How do JDZX9-35G models provide ground fault protection?

JDZX9-35G incorporates a tertiary winding connected in open-delta (broken-delta) configuration across three units. During ground faults, zero-sequence voltage appears across the open-delta winding, providing signal to ground fault relays. The 100/3 V tertiary winding with 6P accuracy is specifically designed for this protection function.
