Power quality maintenance is a concern that has currently reached all levels of electric systems. This concern is mainly due to the increased connection of nonlinear devices and loads with high sensitivity to power quality disturbances on distribution, transmission and generation complexes. However, to enable power quality measurements on medium (MV) and high voltage networks, voltage transducers are necessary. There are different types of voltage transducers commercially available. The inductive voltage transformers (IVTs) are most commonly used for MV systems. However, it is well-known that some types of voltage transducers may not present a linear transformation ratio for harmonic frequencies, including IVTs. Therefore, to overcome this nonlinearity of voltage transducers, the IEC published a technical report addressing guidelines and recommendations regarding the use of instrument transformers for power quality applications (IEC/TR 61869-103). In this context, this paper is aimed at performing a frequency response test on three MV IVTs using the mentioned IEC document in order to guarantee accurate harmonic voltage measurements. Moreover, a laboratory structure at the Federal University of Uberlândia is implemented for evaluating the frequency response on MV transducers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
