600A voltage sensing bushings
G&W’s Voltage Sensing Bushing (VSB) system is a temperature
compensated, built-in, voltage measuring system that eliminates the need for
PTs when three phase analog voltage monitoring is required. Compared to
potential transformers, the VS bushing system offers these benefits:
• Significant cost savings
• Cleaner, less cumbersome installation
• Less space required
• Fewer add-on components which could potentially fail
• Installed and tested prior to shipment
• Can be field calibrated
• One digital output per way for threshold voltage detection
The VS bushing system utilizes a capacitively coupled screen which is
embedded within the epoxy bushing. The low energy output of the screen is
amplified by integral circuitry, resulting in a 0-120 VAC analog output suitable for
direct connection to any relay, IED or RTU. The circuitry incorporates built-in
calibration and temperature compensation which improve accuracy.
Bushings are designed to IEEE 386 standards with standard interface accepting
convention al elbow style connectors and include an aluminum
conductor with 5/8"-11 aluminum threaded stud and aluminum single hole pad
(elbows must be ordered separately). Bushings are bolt-on style. Copper
studs are available. For bottom entry switches, recommended switch frame
height is 42" for all voltages.
