High-reliability primary distribution apparatus engineered to meet the stringent technical specifications of SEC (Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles) and Chilean grid operators.
Addressing the complex technical requirements of Chile's interconnected energy network, world-class copper mining operations, and expansive renewable projects in the Atacama Corridor.
Chile's unified Sistema Eléctrico Nacional (SEN) spans thousands of kilometers from Arica to Chiloé. Precise multi-ratio combined instrument transformers (CT-VT units or Medidores Combinados de Tensión y Corriente) are fundamental for tariff billing, point-of-common-coupling (PCC) metering, and high-speed feeder relay protection across 12kV, 24kV, 33kV, and 66kV nodes.
With the world's highest solar irradiance levels in the Atacama Desert and powerful coastal wind corridors in Coquimbo and Los Lagos, Chilean renewable plants demand robust combined metering units capable of sustained solar UV exposure, temperature differentials of ±35°C, and extreme ambient dust ingress.
Northern Chile houses global mining giants like CODELCO, Escondida, and Collahuasi. Combined CT-VT transformers operate at high altitudes (>4,000m) powering massive ball mills, solvent extraction-electrowinning (SX-EW) circuits, and heavy hauling systems where harmonic distortion and short-circuit withstand capacity are critical.
In Chile, equipment must strictly conform to regulations enforced by the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) and the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional (CEN). Our combined instrument transformers guarantee Class 0.2S and Class 0.5 revenue metering accuracy, verified via comprehensive routine and type-test reports.
Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Chile enforces the world's most demanding seismic codes. Our equipment features low-center-of-gravity structural bases, high-strength porcelain or hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy (HCEP) insulators, and reinforced structural terminals designed to endure ground accelerations exceeding 0.5g.
High Andean elevations thin atmospheric air, reducing dielectric breakdown thresholds and cooling efficiency. We engineer extended creepage distances (>31mm/kV), increased internal clearance distances, and optimized thermal dissipation channels specifically for elevations up to 4,800 meters above sea level.
Combining primary current measurement (CT) and primary voltage stepping (VT) into a single compact tank or dry-type resin block reduces substation footprint, eliminates redundant cabling, and accelerates field installation.
Our Combined Current & Voltage Instrument Transformers (widely deployed across Latin America as Transformadores Combinados de Medida) represent state-of-the-art power measurement technology. Available in both oil-immersed hermetically sealed outdoor configurations and indoor/outdoor cast resin formats, each unit integrates two or three current transformer cores alongside two or three inductive voltage transformer windings.
