Current and Voltage Sensors
Sensors New detectors
in medium voltage system
General
Conventional instrument transformers have been widely
used in medium voltage networks for transforming high
currents and voltages to a level suitable for measuring
and protection. The instrument transformers have been
dimensioned according to the requirements of the measuring equipment and protection relays.
The level of the input signal to the new measuring and
protection system has been significantly reduced compared to the level for conventional systems. Due to this
ABB has introduced a range of sensors. The sensors
fulfil in an optimal way the requirements of the different
functions in the new digital secondary equipment.
The introduction of new digital technology for measuring and protection in medium voltage system has
changed the demands of the detectors.
Technical benefits
Extensive dynamic range
High degree of accuracy
In medium voltage systems upto 24 kV, it is possible,
with only a few types to cover the whole scope of
current and voltage sensors for measuring and protection.
The sensors are designed for the smaller power requirements of digital secondary equipment. Instead of
a typical burden of a conventional transformer, 15 VA
and more, the sensor delivers the signal with a burden
of only a fraction of a VA.
No ferromagnetic cores are used in the sensors. This
means that the sensors are immune to any risk of
saturation and are linear over the whole measuring
range.

Non-saturable

Economical benefits
Simplified engineering and logistics
The sensors are much smaller in volume and weight
compared to conventional instrument transformers.
These benefits are used to full advantage in new constructions of medium voltage switchgear.
As mentioned above the sensors have an extensive dynamic range compared to conventional instrument transformers. Due to this only a few different current and
voltage sensors are needed. This means that we can
offer very simple engineering and logistics.

technology
The construction of the sensors means that much less
raw material is needed. This means that the sensors
are a step into more environmentaly friendly technology.
Current Sensor
Description
Technical Data
The current sensor is based on the principle of the
Rogowski-coil. The sensor consists of an air-core winding, immune to any risk of saturation as it has no
ferromagnetic core. It is linear over the whole measuring range. The output signal is a voltage, which is proportional to the derivative of the current. A digital integration of this voltage is carried out and gives the measured
current.

Voltage Sensor
Description
Technical Data
The voltage sensor is based on the resistive voltage
divider. Also this sensor is non-saturable and linear
over the whole measuring range. The output signal is a
voltage, which is directly pro-portional to the primary
voltage. The shape of the enclosure is specially
designed to minimize and control parasitic effects
(capacity and inductance).
