HV/LV CTs and VTs are devices that are used to measure electrical current and voltage in power systems.

• Current transformers (CTs) are used to measure the current in a power circuit. They work by creating a magnetic field that is proportional to the current flowing through the circuit. This magnetic field is then used to induce a current in a secondary winding, which is proportional to the primary current.
• Voltage transformers (VTs) are used to measure the voltage in a power circuit. They work by creating a potential difference between two points on the secondary winding that is proportional to the voltage on the primary winding.

HV/LV CTs and VTs are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Substations: Substations are used to convert high-voltage electricity to lower voltages for distribution to homes and businesses. CTs and VTs are used to measure the current and voltage in the substation so that the power can be safely and efficiently distributed.
• Power plants: Power plants generate electricity at high voltages. CTs and VTs are used to measure the current and voltage in the power plant so that the electricity can be safely and efficiently transmitted to the substations.
• Transmission lines: Transmission lines are used to transmit electricity over long distances. CTs and VTs are used to measure the current and voltage in the transmission lines so that the electricity can be safely and efficiently transmitted.

HV/LV CTs and VTs are an important part of the electrical grid. They help to ensure that the power is transmitted and distributed safely and efficiently.

Here are some of the features of HV/LV CTs and VTs:

• Accuracy: HV/LV CTs and VTs must be accurate in order to provide reliable measurements. The accuracy of a CT or VT is typically specified as a percentage of the rated current or voltage.
• Sensitivity: HV/LV CTs and VTs must be sensitive enough to measure the small currents and voltages that are present in power systems. The sensitivity of a CT or VT is typically specified as the number of turns in the secondary winding per turn in the primary winding.
• Insulation: HV/LV CTs and VTs must be insulated to protect the operator from electrical shock. The insulation of a CT or VT is typically specified as the voltage that the device can withstand without breaking down.
• Durability: HV/LV CTs and VTs must be durable in order to withstand the harsh conditions in power systems. The durability of a CT or VT is typically specified as the number of hours that the device can operate without failure.
