Capacitor voltage transformers

The paper describes in a general way that class of voltage transformer which the authors propose should be termed the ¿capacitor voltage transformer¿ as distinct from the conventional electromagnetic voltage transformer. No claim is made for presenting any new principles of design, the main purpose of the paper being to establish a wider understanding of this class of voltage transformer with view to an extension in its field of application. Attempt is made to define the so-termed capacitor voltage transformer and to describe the operating principles in the simplest possible manner. Accuracy characteristics are explained, especially in regard to the possibility of adjustment for service burden conditions and limitations set up by practical considerations. Typical constructional features are described and possible applications are suggested. A mathematical treatise on the theory of the capacitor voltage transformer is given in an Appendix, and a Bibliography is included.
