Instrument transformers

Type LG–15–585
Outdoor current transformer

Product features
−− 15 kV, 110 kV BIL, 60 Hz
−− Single, dual, and multi ratios
−− Electrical specifications:
Creep: 18.1" (460 mm)
Strike: 12.0" (305 mm)
−− Approximate weight (without bar): 125 lbs (57 kg)

Application
The LG-15-585 outdoor, window-type current transformer is rated
for use on 15,000 volt systems with 110 kV BIL. Primary current
ratios are available from 200:5 to 5000:5 at 60 Hertz, with a rating
factor of up to 4.0 (see ratings specific to each ratio). This dry-type,
solid-cast current transformer operates with high accuracy for
metering or relay applications.
