JSJW 6 10 Oil Filled Three Phase Voltage Transformers 2 400x400 1

Working Principle

The JSJW series operates on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. A laminated silicon steel five-limb magnetic core carries the primary and multiple secondary windings. When the primary winding is energized by system voltage, alternating magnetic flux is established in the core and induces proportional voltages in the secondary windings according to the turns ratio. The oil-immersed insulation system provides dielectric strength and heat dissipation, while the sealed tank reduces moisture ingress and slows oil aging for long-term indoor service.

System Application Position

  • Medium Voltage Distribution: 3–10 kV indoor switchgear and distribution panels
  • Energy Metering: Metering voltage supply for billing and monitoring circuits
  • Protection Circuits: Voltage-based protection (over/under-voltage) and directional schemes where applicable
  • Insulation Monitoring: Open-delta residual voltage (3U0) for earth-fault / insulation supervision (when equipped)
  • SCADA Integration: Voltage input for RTU/IED monitoring and recording

Structural Overview

Oil-immersed construction with a sealed steel tank and porcelain bushings provides reliable insulation coordination and stable thermal performance. The internal active part consists of the core-and-coil assembly mounted inside the oil tank. Primary terminals are routed through bushings for three-phase connection, while secondary terminals are arranged for metering, protection, and residual voltage functions per configuration. The floor-mounted base allows secure indoor installation with adequate clearances and convenient maintenance access.

Safety Warning: Never short-circuit the secondary terminals of a voltage transformer. A secondary short circuit can cause overheating and failure in a short time. Provide appropriate secondary protection (e.g., fuses) against external secondary faults and follow lockout/tagout procedures before maintenance. Ground one point of the secondary circuit in accordance with applicable standards and local electrical safety regulations.

Ordering Information

When placing an order, specify the configuration according to the project electrical design, applicable standards, and technical specification. The following parameters shall be stated for technical confirmation and production release:

  • Model designation: JSJW-3 / JSJW-6 / JSJW-10
  • Rated voltage ratio: primary and secondary ratios (including residual open-delta ratio where required)
  • Secondary winding configuration: Configuration A or Configuration B (number of windings and functions)
  • Accuracy class combination: metering accuracy + protection accuracy (e.g., 0.2/6P(3P))
  • Rated output (VA): per secondary winding
  • Insulation level: Um/Ud/Up per system insulation coordination (standard or enhanced)

Selection Guidance: Choose the model by system voltage class (3/6/10 kV). Confirm whether residual voltage (3U0) is required; if yes, specify open-delta winding and its rated output. Determine metering and protection accuracy requirements per utility/project specification, then calculate the total burden per winding (device VA + wiring loss) and select the rated output with suitable margin. Verify insulation level against the project insulation coordination design and installation environment.
