Especially in the wake of increasing requirements, the need for enhanced capacity and reliable infrastructure is more crucial than ever.  At this year’s IEEE Trade Show, a spotlight will be thrown on our new CCVT. Our new CCVT will be made in the United States. Adding much needed capacity by US utilities.

Enhanced Lead Times with Additional U.S.-based Production

We are working to reduce the extended lead times traditionally associated with CCVT products with our Monroe, North Carolina manufacturer. This investment supports the domestic economy and ensures quicker turnaround times for power grid components, a crucial factor in meeting the surging post-pandemic demand for electrical infrastructure improvements.

Dual Functionality: Metering and Power Line Communication

CCVTs serve a dual purpose in the power grid. They are instrumental in sensing voltage for metering and protection relays. Additionally, these high-performance transformers facilitate power line carrier communication, which is pivotal for the real-time control and monitoring of the grid. This ideal dual functionality underscores the CCVT’s critical role in enhancing grid reliability and efficiency.

Cost-Effective Solutions for High Voltage Applications

One of the standout advantages of CCVTs over purely inductive transformers is their cost-effectiveness, particularly at voltages 230 kV and above. The innovative two-stage transformation process, which initially steps down high voltages to medium voltages using coupling capacitors before further transformation through a traditional inductive transformer, reduces the need for large inductive coils. This not only cuts down on material costs but also results in a smaller footprint and enhanced operational efficiency.

Customizable Options for Diverse Needs

Recognizing the diverse needs of the electrical grid, the latest ITEC CCVT models come with three windings, offering various types of combination possibilities to match specific metering or relaying requirements. This level of customization ensures that utilities can tailor their work equipment to best suit their operational needs, enhancing overall grid performance.

Metering Accuracy

The precision in power metering is paramount, and the ITEC CCVT delivers with a metering accuracy class of 0.3%. Such high accuracy is essential for effective demand management and billing, ensuring that energy consumption data is both reliable and precise, which is critical for both utilities and consumers. As we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving demands on the power grid, the integration of CCVT technology plays a pivotal role.
