Objectives
In this lecture we will solve tutorial problems to:
Design a CCVT.
Example 1 :
Design a CCVT for a 132kV transmission line using the following data. Resistive Burden
frequency deviation to be subjected to
= 150VA,
choices of V 2 as 33 kV, 11 kV, 6.6 kV and 3.3 kV. Transmission line voltage V = 132 kV. The standardized
VT secondary voltage is 110 volts (L - L).
Answer:
Let V 2 (L - N) be the voltage to be produced by the capacitive potential divider with capacitance values C 1
and C 2 . Let L be the value of tuning inductor. Our first task is to come up with a value of L. Here the
specification for phase angle error

From figure 9.3,
Using this equation the value L for different values of V 2 is found out.

From the above table it is clear that smaller the value of V 2 , the smaller is the value of L and higher the
value of C 1 and C 2 for tuning condition. If we select too low value of V 2 and L then capacitance values
will be beyond available limits, and if we select higher value of V 2 and L, then CCVT's inductor will
become bulky. So a compromise solution is necessary and let us select V 2 = 6.6 kV
For V 2 = 6.6 kV
L = 269 H
Now,
In this design, we have explained the basic concept for CCVT design and we assumed the transformer to
be ideal. However in real life design, the value of magnetizing impedance of transformer, resistance of
reactor etc have to be taken into account, as the ratio error
and the phase angle error
will also
get affected by these values. The next example brings out these issues.
Example 2:
The equivalent circuit of a CCVT
is shown in fig 9.4. The values of

C 1 and C 2 are 0.0018

respectively. Tuning

If the frequency drops from 50Hz to 47Hz, what would be the values of ratio error and phase angle error?
(a)
Answer (a):
If

and
The value is also same as the selected value of C m. Hence, the selection of both L and C m is appropriate.
Answer (b):
= 11.33
V = 11.33 x 6.6
Thus, this VT is connected to a 132 kV bus.
Example 2: (contd..)
Answer (c):
Core loss = 20 W
at
= 50 Hz
Example 2 : (contd..)
The frequency of interest is 47Hz. Hence values of X m and other impedance can be calculated at 47Hz.
Figure 9.5 can be simplified as figure 9.6.
Where
source is nothing but open circuit emf. V T is the terminal voltage on load. Hence % ratio error
=1.81%
Phase angle error
.
Clearly, the phase angle error is on the higher side.
