Application

RevenueSense wide range, high accuracy CTs are designed for commercial and industrial applications. RevenueSense substantially reduces inventory, complexity and improves standardization for meter shop operations, particularly when used with GE Vernova’s kV2c FITZALL™ transformer rated meters

Application Overview: Secondary Metering with Current Transformers

Encompass and RevenueSense CTs provide flexibility for commercial and industrial applications, indoor or outdoor service and bar-type or window-type configurations. 

Application overview

Redefining Special High Accuracy

Per IEEE C57.13.6, a 0.15S class CT must maintain 0.15 accuracy from 5% of rated current through rating factor. This is a significantly tighter tolerance for error as compared to a standard CT: 2X better within rating factor and 4X better at light loads.

With GE Vernova’s RevenueSense CT’s, this tight tolerance of 0.15 accuracy is maintained for an extended range of 1% of rated current through rating factor. Similar to Encompass CT’s, moving from a standard CT to a wide range CT allows for a reduction in inventory, part numbers, and billing multipliers.

However, where Encompass CT’s offer equal performance over an extended range, RevenueSense CT’s offer improved high accuracy performance, allowing for increased billing accuracy and increased revenue.

Standard CT Test Limits
RevenueSense Test Limits

Results and Benefits

The RevenueSense CT with rated range from 1% up through a rating factor of 3 covers the operating range of up to 8 other standard ratios, allowing for up to 90% reduction in inventory requirements. Additionally, the tolerance for CT error is tighter over the entire range, allowing for improved metering accuracy, particularly at light loads.

Epoxy as the internal insulation

Epoxy takes the place of oil as the internal insulation and winding impregnation. The advantage of this design includes:

  • Reduced footprint with a compact design with up to 30% less height than the leading oil-filled designs
  • High tensile strength which allows for mounting in any position including vertical, horizontal, upside down, or at any angle
  • Environmentally friendly design eliminates hidden costs associated with traditional liquid-filled designs such as:
  • oil-leakage problems
  • oil filtering or testing
  • construction requirements for a large installation space or dedicated support structure

 

Superior Design Features

SUPERBUTE Advantage: Superior primary winding design and extra creep distance ensure accurate, reliable performance in harsh conditions

SUPERBUTE instrument transformers are designed for quality and reliability with features engineered to withstand high voltage stresses and extreme environmental conditions, while delivering the highest accuracies possible, all within a compact design. The result is a reliable, long-lasting, easy to handle design that ultimately lowers total cost of ownership.

superbute3 Lattice-type winding in a JVS350 station-class VT
superbute4 Multi-gap type primary in a JKW350 station-class CT
Lattice-type windings for voltage transformer

Originally patented by GE Vernova, lattice-type windings have precise controlled positioning and distribution of each turn to reduce maximum voltage stress within the winding. This unique design also minimizes the possibility of partial discharges within the winding. The coil configuration, and the outer electrostatic shields distribute steep voltage fronts across the coil to reduce concentration of stress.

Built-in surge protection for current transformers

A unique multi-gap type primary by-pass on current transformers 600 amps and below protects windings during line disturbances or steep current wave fronts. The gaps are factory adjusted to fire at 5000-7500 crest volts, thereby by-passing surge currents up to 100 times rated, which could otherwise result in excessive voltages across the primary winding.

High accuracy, extended range ratings for current transformers

The use of high accuracy instrument transformers with solid-state metering allows for improved billing accuracy and/or the potential to reduce inventory requirements. GE Vernova offers high accuracy and extended range ratings which meet the accuracy needed for these applications. Since introducing the first dry-type high-accuracy transformer solution in 1991, GE Vernova’s high accuracy product line has grown to a portfolio that includes a wide variety of voltage classes up to and including 69 kV.

Compact size & mounting flexibility

SUPERBUTE transformers require up to 30% less height and up to 40% less floor space compared to the leading oil-filled designs, and can be mounted in any position. This allows substation design flexibility including mounting on a substation steel structure or a pole.

Extra creep & strike

Even with 30% less height, standard units can be used in environmentally severe conditions and in high altitude (10,000ft) applications. Station class units have creep distances that exceed the requirements for even the next-level voltage class.
