Low-Power Voltage Transformer Smart Frequency Modeling and Output Prediction up to 2.5 kHz, Using Sinc-Response Approach

The instrument transformers scenario is moving towards the adoption of a new generation of low-power instrument transformers. This disruptive change also requires that the modeling, characterization, and testing of those devices must be improved. Therefore, this study focuses on a smart approach developed by the authors in a previous study to estimate the output of low-power voltage transformers (LPVT). The approach-which is based on a sort of modeling in the frequency domain (the so-called sinc-response)-allows obtaining the behavior of the LPVT at rated and distorted conditions. Experimental tests performed on off-the-shelf devices confirm the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach when estimating the output response of LPVTs.
