CFE-Ready Precision Metering & Protection

CT-VT Combined Instrument Transformer Manufacturer & Exporter for the Mexico Market

Delivering High-Precision 0.2S/0.5S Combined Metering Units (MOF), Medium-Voltage Current-Potential Transformers, and Custom Power Solutions Engineered for Mexico's Industrial Parks, Renewable Projects, and CFE Grid Interconnections.

The Strategic Boom of CT-VT Combined Transformers in Mexico

Mexico's electrical infrastructure is currently undergoing an unprecedented expansion driven by the monumental "Nearshoring" industrial wave across northern and central states such as Nuevo León, Coahuila, Querétaro, Chihuahua, and San Luis Potosí. Global manufacturing giants, automotive Tier-1 suppliers, semiconductor assembly units, and heavy industrial plants are establishing extensive facilities requiring robust medium-voltage connections. In this dynamic landscape, the CT-VT Combined Instrument Transformer (often classified locally as Medidor Combinado de Transmisión / MOF - Measurement OutFit) plays an indispensable role as the primary boundary device for electricity billing, accurate revenue metering, and micro-second relay protection.

Operated strictly under the grid framework established by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) and monitored by the Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (CENACE), electricity off-takers and private substation operators in Mexico require combined instrument transformers that eliminate metering disputes, withstand extreme thermal variations from the Sonoran Desert to humid coastal corridors, and reduce substation physical footprint by merging current and voltage sensing into a single, synchronized, factory-tested unit.

Mexico Grid Compatibility Matrix

Our CT-VT combined units and primary power transformers are custom engineered to match Mexico's specific nominal medium voltage levels and harsh regional environments:

  • Voltage Classes: 13.8 kV, 23 kV, 34.5 kV, up to 115 kV substation primary injection.
  • Accuracy Classes: 0.2S and 0.5S for wide-dynamic revenue metering (CFE G0000-48 compliance).
  • Frequency: Fully rated for Mexico's standard 60 Hz operational frequency.
  • Insulation Options: High-grade cycloaliphatic epoxy dry casting or hermetically sealed mineral oil.

Technical Superiority for Mexico Substation Engineering

Combining Current Transformers (CT) and Potential Transformers (PT/VT) in a single integrated enclosure optimizes substation layout, halves procurement cycles, minimizes field cabling errors, and guarantees highest measurement synchronization.

Revenue Metering Accuracy (0.2S / 0.5S)

Equipped with high-permeability amorphous and grain-oriented silicon steel cores, our combined CT-VT sets deliver class 0.2S accuracy down to 1% of rated primary current. This ensures maximum revenue protection and eliminates metering drift for Mexican commercial tariffs (Gran Demanda Media Tensión GDMTO/GDMTH).

Anti-Ferroresonance & Insulation

Featuring specialized VT damping windings and vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) or vacuum epoxy casting, our transformers prevent ferroresonant overvoltages during system switching or line-to-ground faults commonly encountered on long radial Mexican transmission feeds.

Harsh Climate Adaptability

Engineered for high-altitude installation (>2,500m above sea level in Toluca, Puebla, and Mexico City) with increased creepage distances (Class IV heavy pollution rated) for corrosion resistance in coastal environments like Veracruz, Tamaulipas, and Campeche.
