High-Voltage (HV) Outdoor Current Transformer, 52 kV & 72.5 kV

AWF-52, AWF-72

These high-voltage current transformers (52 kV or 72.5 kV), designed for outdoor use, are available in single-core and two-core varieties. Featuring extended creepage distance and insulated with UV-resistant cycloaliphatic epoxy resin, these current transformers can withstand solar ultraviolet radiation and IEC-defined pollution level III (“Heavy”). They’re especially ideal for regions with salt fog, high temperature, and high humidity.


About the Product

High-voltage outdoor-type current transformers AWF-52 and AWF-72 are available in single-core and two-core varieties. These instrument transformers can be offered according to client-specified standards (e.g. IEC, IEEE, etc.) and specifications, such as accuracy, burden, and others.

Cast in Araldite® UV-resistant cycloaliphatic epoxy resin, these current transformers are furthermore distinguished by their extended creepage distance. These and other outstanding characteristics enable the products to withstand solar ultraviolet radiation and IEC-defined pollution level III (“Heavy”). In fact, these high-voltage outdoor-type current transformers maintain their excellent electrical properties even under long-term exposure to salt fog, high temperature, and high humidity.
