A recently developed methods for the on-site calibration of the voltage transformer (VT) comparator system have been reviewed in the paper. The method utilizes the several traveling standards consisting of the VT, the non-reactive standard resistors, the wide ratio error VT, and the decade resistors. The VT is used for the absolute evaluation of a standard VT belonging to the industry. The non-reactive standard resistor and wide ratio error VT are used for the linearity check of errors in the voltage comparator of the industry. The decade resistors are used for evaluation of a VT burden of the industry.

National standard system for calibrating voltage transformer(VT) up to primary voltage of 240 kV have been established in 2005. The system consists of voltage source, regulating unit, VT testing unit, standard VT, VT under test and VT burden. To verify and validate the performance for 240 kV VT calibration system, the comparison with the National Measurement Institute of Australia(NMIA) has been performed using same VTs. The comparison results of the VTs mesured at the Korea Research Institute of Stansdards and Science(KRISS) are consistent with those measured at NMIA within 0.002 % for ratio error and 0.14 min for phase displacement in the primary voltage ranges of Vp = 3300 V - 22000 V with a secondary voltage of Vs = 110 V.

We have developed the calibration technique of the VT comparator using nonreactive standard resistors, which evaluates both accuracy and linearity of the VT comparator by comparing experimental values with theoretical values. The correction values of VT comparator obtained by using both our method and wide ratio error VT are consistent within the expanded uncertainty. Furthermore the specification for ratio error of VT comparator have been revaluated.

Both ratio error and phase angle error in voltage transformer(VT) depend on values of VT burden used. Thus, precise measurement of burden is very important for the evaluation of VT. A method of evaluation for VT burden has been developed by employing the portable decade resistor, with AC-DC resistance difference less than 10-3. The burden value(value and power factor) can be obtained by conductance and susceptance, obtained by measuring the change of ratio error and phase angle error caused by the resistance change of decade resistor. The burden value and power factor obtained by the method are consistent with those obtained using power analyzer within corresponding uncertainties.

A voltage transformer (VT) is used to transform a high voltage into a low voltage as an input for a metering device or a protection relay. VTs use an iron core which maximizes the flux linkage. The primary current of the VT has non-fundamental components caused by the hysteresis characteristics of the iron core. It causes a voltage drop in the winding impedances resulting in the error of the VT. This paper describes a compensation algorithm for the VT. The proposed algorithm can compensate the secondary voltage of VT by calculating the primary current from the exciting current of the hysteresis loop in the voltage transformer. In this paper, the exciting branch was divided into a non-linear core loss resistor and a non-linear magnetizing inductor. The performance of the proposed algorithm was validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. Test results show that the proposed compensation algorithm can improve the accuracy of the VT significantly.

Both ratio error and phase angle error in voltage transformer(VT) depend on values of burden of VT used. A method of evaluation for linearity of ratio error and phase angle error in VT measurement equipment have been developed using the standard resistance burdens, with negligible AC-DC resistance difference less than $10^-6$. These burden consists of five standard resistors, with nominal resistance of 100 $\Omega$, 1 k$\Omega$, 10 k$\Omega$, 100 k$\Omega$, and 1 M$\Omega$. The developed method has been applied in VT measurement equipment of industry and the validity of the developed method has been verified by showing the consistency of the result of linearity obtained using VT with wide ratio error.

A voltage transformer(VT) used for the estabilishment of high voltage national standard, has generally ratio error and phase angle error. Both errors in VT depend critically on values of external burden of VT used. Both ratio ewer and phase angle error in existence of the external burden is calculated. These calculated values are very well consistent with the experimental result. The principle and the measurement method of VT in our institute are also explained.

Recently. due to the drastic development of communication method between substations for pilot protective relaying system. The power line carrier(PLC) application is getting obsolete. Consequently, the coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) loses its necessity for the carrier coupling function, and so wound voltage transformer(VT) can be used to substitute CCVT for voltage signal. However, VT has been reported to give rise to ferro-resonance phenomena, so sufficient consideration on applying the VT to line side is required. This study introduces probable technical problems in using the VT on T/L side, and carries out feasibility study on the basis of modeling results by EMTP(Electro-magnetic transient program)

Voltage transformer(VT) comparison measurement system is usually used for measurements of ratio error and phase angle error of VT made in industry. Both ratio error and phase angle error in VT are critically influenced by values of burden of VT used. External burden effects on both ratio error and phase angle error in VT are theoretically calculated. From the theoretical calculation, a method of evaluation for linearity of ratio error and phase angle error in VT measurement system have been developed using the standard capacitive burdens, with negligible dissipation factor less than 10$^{-4}$. These burden consists of five standard capacitors, with nominal capacitance of 1.1 $\mu$F, 1 $\mu$F, 0.1 $\mu$F, 0.01 $\mu$F, 0.001 $\mu$F. The developed method has been applied in VT measurement system of industry, showing in good consistency and linearity within 0.001 $\%$ between theoretical and measured values.
