Product Overview
The JLSW3-33kV outdoor horizontal oil-immersed high-voltage metering tank is a combined transformer metering device designed for outdoor power distribution and 35kV-class transmission line metering applications. The product integrates voltage transformers and current transformers in one oil-immersed tank, providing voltage and current signals for electric energy metering, power monitoring, and utility settlement measurement.
This model is designed as a horizontal outdoor oil-immersed structure. The metering tank body is arranged in a low-profile horizontal layout, with porcelain bushings mounted on both sides of the tank for three-phase incoming and outgoing line connection. Compared with vertical structures, the horizontal tank layout provides a stable installation form for outdoor pole-mounted or platform-mounted applications, while maintaining sufficient insulation distance, oil insulation space, and convenient external wiring.

Key Technical Features
- Horizontal oil-immersed structure: The tank adopts a horizontal layout suitable for outdoor installation, providing a stable structure, compact height, and convenient line connection.
- Combined VT and CT design: The product integrates voltage transformers and current transformers in one metering tank to provide voltage and current signals for high-voltage metering.
- Outdoor insulation performance: Oil-immersed insulation provides dielectric strength and heat dissipation for 33kV / 35kV-class outdoor operating conditions.
- High-accuracy metering: Accuracy classes such as 0.2S and 0.5S can be selected according to utility metering or project settlement requirements.
- Weather-resistant construction: The outdoor tank, porcelain bushings, sealing structure, grounding terminal, and oil-level components are designed for outdoor service conditions.
- Anti-tamper metering option: The metering tank can be used with external energy meters and anti-electricity-theft metering enclosures for utility management applications.
Working Principle
The JLSW3-33 metering tank combines current transformer and voltage transformer functions. The current transformer section converts high primary current on the line into a standardized secondary current signal, while the voltage transformer section converts high primary voltage into a standardized secondary voltage signal. These secondary signals are supplied to the connected electric energy meter, measuring instrument, or monitoring device for energy metering and line measurement.
The oil-filled tank provides insulation and heat dissipation for the internal electromagnetic components. The horizontal structure supports outdoor installation and keeps the high-voltage bushings arranged on both sides of the tank, allowing the primary line conductors to be connected through the external porcelain insulators.
