ABB (www.abb.com) is a leader in power and automation ABB has been producing instrument transformers for
technologies that enables utility and industry customers to more than 60 years. Thousands of our products perform
improve their performance while lowering environmental vital functions in electric power networks around the
impact. world – day after day, all year round. Their main applications
include revenue metering, control, indication and relay
The ABB Group of companies operates in approximately protection.
100 countries and employs around 145,000 people.
All instrument transformers supplied by ABB are tailormade
to meet the needs of our customers. An instrument transformer
must be capable of withstanding very high stresses in all
climatic conditions. We design and manufacture our products
for a service life of at least 30 years. Actually, most last even
longer.

Applications
SSVT and SSMV instrument transformers can be used in many Remote cell towers
areas for reducing initial cost, while increasing the reliability of When a cell tower needs to be placed in a remote location and
the power supply. lacks nearby electrical secondary feeders, siting the cell tower
adjacent to a high voltage transmission line is an economical
Applications for their use are wide-ranging and include: option. A tap can be taken from the transmission line to an
SSVT placed in a fenced-in area (a miniature substation) to
Switching stations energize the cell tower. Where permitted, the cell transceiver
SSVTs are mounted onto a pedestal inside the substation, can be located directly on the transmission tower.
with the primary tied to the incoming transmission line and
the output secondary control wiring connected to the station
power panel. This solution saves utilities from having to rely on
distrubution feeders outside of the substation for low voltage
control power.
Rural electrification
In developing countries where transmission systems are in place
but a wide-spread distribution infrastructure is lacking, SSVTs
can be used as a compact transformer to greatly reduce the
electrification costs for small villages or compounds. SSVTs
can either be used with its low voltage output to directly supply
needed power for in-close loads near the transmission right of
way, or simply step up the SSVT low voltage output through
distribution transformers for a local distribution network.
