Abstract
This paper represents the characteristics of the improved Current Voltage Transferring Device (CVTD) for high current measurement including lightning impulse currents. The improved CVTD has been developed from the prototype CVTD to provide exceptional characteristics for high current with high frequency measurement. The improved CVTD in h-shaped configuration is made of copper and aluminium. The relationship between input current and output voltages of the new CVTD was investigated with short and long duration lightning impulse currents to establish the empirical formulas. The typical impulse current generator was used to generate 8/20μs lightning impulse current with the amplitude of 940A while the impulse generator with crowbar elements was utilized to generate 10/350μs lightning impulse current with magnitude of 30.2kA for the experiment. The lightning impulse current measurement characteristics of the CVTD and Rogowski coil were examined. From the experiments, the new improved CVTD shows the superior characteristics to measure the impulse currents with very fast rise time. Besides, nanosecond pulses superimposed on the lightning impulse currents were detected by only the improved CVTD. According to the experiments, there is no doubt that the new improved CVTD is a superior one for high current with high frequency measurement especially lightning impulse currents.
