12 kV & 24 kV Epoxy-Cast Voltage Transformer (Potential Transformer) or Control Power Transformer, as Power Source for Circuit Breaker Operation and Lighting
EPF-20DZ
This voltage transformer, cast with self-extinguishing epoxy resin, is a medium-voltage, indoor-type, single-phase potential transformer for a 12kV or 24kV power system for measuring and monitoring voltage signals. With a continuous output capacity of 4000 VA (max.), it can also serve in a small substation or a switchgear panel as a power source for circuit breaker operation and lighting equipment*.
* Power source for circuit breaker operation and lighting equipment: In this application, the voltage transformer can also be referred to as a "control power transformer" (CPT), "control transformer" (CTR), "industrial control transformer," or a "machine tool transformer."
Medium-Voltage Potential Transformer
About the Product
Single-phase indoor-use voltage transformer (potential transformer) EPF-20DZ, intended for a 12 or 24 kV power system, is designed for the measuring and monitoring of the voltage signal.
Due to its continuous output capacity of 4000VA (max.), this voltage transformer can be used in a small substation or a switchgear panel as a power source for circuit breaker operation and lighting equipment. This setup helps to conserve space and reduce cost.
In addition, the EPF-20DZ voltage transformer can be connected to one or two smaller-capacity voltage transformers to form a three-phase voltage transformer (3ϕ VT). This can be done via a V-V or Y-Y connection.
Cast in self-extinguishing Araldite® epoxy resin, the EPF-20DZ voltage transformer is characterized by superior insulation and excellent safety.

Single-Pole Voltage Transformers (Potential Transformers), or Three-Phase VT (PT) + GVT (GPT)
EPF-10CE, EPF-10DE, EPF-20SK, EPF-20SL, EPF-30DE
Voltage transformers from this series are indoor medium-voltage single-phase epoxy-resin-cast potential transformers suitable for 12kV, 24kV, and 36kV power systems. They are used in conjunction with measuring instruments for system monitoring and analysis or in combination with protective relays. Specific models can be equipped with a combination fuse assembly on the primary side. Additionally, models with a maximum thermal burden of 1000 VA can also function as a power source for circuit breaker operation, meaning they can serve as "control power transformers" or "control transformers," also known as CPT or CTR, or "industrial control transformers" or "machine tool transformers."
