Current transformer LB (30.5 - 330 kV)

Reliable oil-insulated hairpin design current transformer for outdoor use

LB oil-insulated current transformers for outdoor installations are based on a hairpin design. All our current transformers are built-to-order to customer specifications. This current transformer is available with either porcelain or silicone rubber insulators, with brown porcelain insulator considered as the standard product. Hermetic sealing of the design is accomplished using a gas cushion above the oil to prevent free-breathing outside moisture-laden air.

The LB demonstrates reliable performance in service with a low field failure rate that is lower than the industry average. This design has been installed in different applications and  from desert to arctic climates.
 

Applications

  • Revenue metering 
  • Protective relaying
  • System control and indication of power flow
