Applications and Trends of 35kV Combined Instrument Transformers – From Echo’s Perspective

Hey everyone! My name is Echo, and I’ve been working in the field of instrument transformers for 12 years now. Today, I’d like to share some insights about the applications and future trends of 35kV combined instrument transformers. Hope this can give you a glimpse into this fascinating industry.

Application Scenarios: More Than Just Metering Tools

First off, let's talk about applications. You might not realize it, but 35kV combined instrument transformers are more than just simple metering tools. In power systems, they play a crucial role. For instance, in energy metering, they ensure accurate billing; in protection and control systems, the signals they provide help protective relays determine if there’s a fault and take immediate action to prevent bigger losses. I once worked on a project where we optimized the design of combined instrument transformers to enhance the safety and stability of the entire grid. The sense of achievement was truly indescribable.

Moreover, with the rise of smart grids, modern combined instrument transformers have been equipped with more intelligent features such as data communication capabilities. This means they can support remote monitoring and management, significantly improving operational efficiency. I remember one time when our team solved the issue of signal attenuation during long-distance transmission using this new technology. Not only did it save a lot of maintenance costs, but it also provided users with more stable service.

Future Trends: Moving Towards Smarter and Greener Solutions

Now, let's discuss the trends. Honestly, this industry changes so fast!

Miniaturization and weight reduction are currently very noticeable trends. Everyone hopes for more compact and lighter products, which can reduce installation space and transportation costs. When designing new products, we always strive for this goal.

Another significant demand is for higher precision. Nowadays, whether industrial users or households, people have high demands for the accuracy of electricity consumption. This drives us to continuously explore new materials and technologies to improve measurement accuracy.

Speaking of materials, the application of environmentally friendly insulation materials cannot be ignored. Traditionally, oil-immersed or SF6 gas was commonly used as insulating media. But now, to respond to global environmental calls, the industry is actively seeking greener alternatives. That's why many companies are researching how to use new materials to replace traditional options.

What excites me most is the development towards digitalization and intelligence. The integration of IoT technology and smart grids allows our products to offer real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics. Imagine a future where instrument transformers can automatically detect their own status, predict potential issues, and send warnings in advance. This would greatly enhance the reliability and maintenance efficiency of equipment.

Finally, I want to highlight another important direction - multi-function integration. Future combined instrument transformers may integrate functions like self-checking, self-protection, and even fault prediction all in one device, truly becoming an "all-rounder".

In conclusion, as someone who has worked in this industry for many years, I am full of confidence in the future of 35kV combined instrument transformers. With advancements in technology, these devices will become smarter, more efficient, and contribute even more to the safe and stable operation of power systems. Thank you all!

Why Do Contactors Always Burn Out? Overload and Short-Circuit Protection Must Be Implemented Simultaneously
Contactors are used to close and open loads that require such operations during normal use, particularly for specific activities like medium-voltage public lighting and industrial electric motors.The medium-voltage contactor + fuse combination controller (F-C) can control motors up to 12 kV. However, medium-voltage controllers are also suitable as feeders for other types of loads, especially transformers. For such loads, contactors are usually modified to include mechanical latching, so that the

A hybrid DC circuit breaker
Most DC molded-case circuit breakers use natural air arc extinction, and there are typically two arc extinguishing methods: one is conventional opening and closing, where the contacts axially stretch the arc, while the conductive circuit generates a magnetic field that bends and elongates the arc, pulling it lengthwise perpendicular to the arc axis. This not only increases the arc length but also induces lateral motion, enabling air cooling to achieve arc extinction.The other method involves the
