Autotransformers
Compared with interconnection transformers of equivalent power flow, the autotransformer presents a lighter and more economically optimized solution which is possible whenever the voltage ratio is between 1 and 2. However, autotransformers have non-disconnected windings, meaning there is no galvanic insulation between the interconnected systems.
Characteristically for complex regulation arrangements, autotransformers impose a total mastership of dielectric phenomena. Designs for constant flux regulation at high voltages or booster schemes are part of GE Vernova’s mastery. For many years, GE Vernova been supplying very high rated autotransformers such as single phase up to 500 MVA and very high voltage up to 765 kV for networks all over the world.
Key features:
- Available up to 765 kV
- Designed for constant flux regulation at high voltages and booster schemes
- Advantages include compact footprint, lighter weight and lower losses
Generator Step up Transformers
GE Vernova’s generator step-up (GSU) transformers are designed and manufactured to stringent standards, providing superior performance and long life. They are suitable for nuclear, thermal and hydraulic applications from small to high voltages with power ratings from 5 MVA to 1000 MVA. The step-up transformers have delta-connected LV windings energized by the generator voltage, while star connected HV windings are connected to the transmission lines.
Constantly faced with voltage changes either due to load rejection or switching operations, followed by generator over excitation, the transformer must also maintain the ability to withstand over-loads. The high rated current involved requires absolute control of the magnetic field inside the tank to avoid localized overheating of associated metallic parts. All of these situations are taken into account by GE Vernova during the design process of individual units and are tested with state-of-the-art techniques.
Thanks to our specific know-how coupled with state-of-the-art modeling and design tools, GE Vernova is able to provide solutions that meet unique power requirements with every installation.
Special Power Transformers
Prolec GE taps into state-of-the-art technology and deep domain expertise in insulation structures, thermal requirements and magnetic field distribution applications, to provide power transformers with exceptional performance, quality and reliability.
PHASE-SHIFTING TRANSFORMERS
As high voltage network systems are connected with each other at several points, the necessity of controlling the flow of energy increases. Classical voltage regulation without phase shifting is no longer sufficient for these situations. GE Vernova’s phase-shifting transformers, rated up to 2750 MVA, are available as single core units with independent phase angle and voltage regulation, and as dual core for higher power and voltages. Quadrature boosters provide an economical solution when limited phase-shifting angles are required with voltage variations.
TRANSFORMERS FOR SVC
GE Vernova’s Static Var Compensator (SVC) systems can help grid operators to gain accurate control of reactive network power, maximize power transfer capability, improve steady-state and dynamic stability within the grid. GE Vernova’s SVC power transformers are custom designed and built to handle harmonic loading and a wide voltage variation. These can be configured as three phase units or a bank of single phase units. The function of the power transformers is to connect the medium voltage equipment to the high voltage transmission grid.
INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMERS
GE Vernova’s industrial specialized transformers portfolio includes a wide range of rectifier transformers for the electrolysis process of metal or chemical industries, as well as AC or DC Electrical Arc Furnace (EAF) transformers. With expertise in products up to the highest ratings in the world, GE Vernova’s references include rectifier transformer combinations above 80 kA DC current ratings and EAF transformers up to 300 MVA.
LOW MAINTENANCE TRANSFORMERS
Hermetically sealed power transformers without oil conservator are GE Vernova’s field-proven answer to today’s needs. Thanks to the innovative design of the radiators, the oil expansion vessel is not needed and thus the oil is prevented from coming into contact with ambient humidity. Service life is also increased with the use of a vacuum-switch on-load tap-changer (OLTC) that eliminates contact erosion. With minimal oil and OLTC aging rate, the Hermetik does not require any particular maintenance or work over its service life, speeding up the return on your investment.
OIL-IMMERSED REACTORS
GE Vernova’s environmental-friendly, long-life, maintenance-free reactors enhance system performance and power quality from transmission and distribution to industrials, improving network operational efficiency. This results in considerable savings for customers and reduces the environmental impact of their operations.

Up to 4MB of storage is available allowing for a maximum of 170 events to be stored. Waveform data is stored in a circular buffer, this means that the meter is always recording.
The data sampled can be viewed as a real-time waveform, giving the user the ability to use the meter in an oscilloscope fashion. Harmonics can also be viewed in real time up to the 40th order, and stored waveforms may be viewed up to the 255th order.
INSTALLATION
Universal Voltage and Current Inputs
This meter allows voltage input measurements 20 Volts to 576 Volts Line to Neutral and up to 721 Volts Line to Line. This ensures proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage systems. The unit will perform to specification on 69 Volt, 120 Volt, 230 Volt, 277 Volt and 347 Volt power systems.
Unique Current Input Connections
EPM 7000 meter uses two current input wiring methods.
Method One - CT pass through. Directly pass the CT through the meter without any physical termination on the meter. This insures that the meter cannot be a point of failure on the CT circuit. This is preferable to utility users when sharing relay class CTs. No Burden is added to the secondary CT circuit.
Method Two - Current “Gills.” The meter additionally provides ultra-rugged termination pass through bars allowing the CT leads to be terminated on the meter. This also eliminates any possible point of failure at the meter. This method is also a preferred technique for ensuring relay class CT integrity does not get compromised. No terminal blocks are required and this stud based design ensures that CTs will not open under a fault condition.
Through an optional high speed Modbus communications interface, the meter can also provide data to RTUs, PLCs and other control devices at Baud rates ranging from 9600 baud to 57.6 kbaud.
Solid Construction with Mounting Versatility
The EPM 7000 has a rugged design for harsh environment. This is especially important in power generation, utility substation, and critical user applications. The structural and electrical design of this meter was developed based on the recommendations and approvals of many of our utility customers.
EPM 7000 can easily be mounted in a panel for generator monitoring, substation automation and more. The unique dual design combines ANSI and DIN mounting structure and allows easy installation for both new metering applications and retrofit of existing analog meters.
The unit mounts directly in an ANSI C39.1 (4” Round form) or an IEC 92 mm DIN square form.
SOFTWARE OPTIONS
The EPM 7000 is equipped with a virtual firmware based switch that allows feature upgrades through communications even after installation. This allows you to optimize your metering investment. Begin with a standard meter and upgrade it with more functionality as new features are needed, such as data logging, waveform capture or more memory. The tables below describe the feature sets of each of the software and waveform options.
WAVEFORM OPTIONS
COMMUNICATIONS OPTIONS

EPM 7000PT Transducer Option
The EPM 7000P is available in a Transducer Option (EPM 7000PT). The EPM 7000PT is ideal for use in applications where a meter display or front port is not required and/or there are mounting/installation constraints in terms size or location within a switchgear cabinet or enclosure. The EPM 7000PT Transducer option also provides a more economical alternative to the EPM 7000P when a display is not required and there are only communications requirements.
Features
- Similar Configuration, Software, Communication options as the EPM 7000P
- Easy installation supporting International Standards DIN 46277/3
- Field replaceable I/O modules
Mounting
Multilin Meter Enclosure
Expanding existing switchgear or installing new metering capability can be challenging due to space limitations, downtime and installation and equipment costs.
