Construction
The JDZ9-20 JDZXF-20, JDZX-20 features a support-type (post) structure with vacuum-cast epoxy resin insulation, providing excellent electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance. The fully enclosed design eliminates contamination risks and ensures stable dielectric properties over time. High-grade silicon steel laminations form the magnetic core, minimizing losses while maintaining accuracy under rated load conditions.
Primary and secondary windings are embedded within the solid epoxy matrix, ensuring complete isolation and resistance to moisture, thermal aging, and tracking. The compact vertical mounting configuration allows easy integration into standard 20 kV indoor switchgear panels with adequate creepage and clearance distances per IEC requirements.

Selection & FAQs
Selection Guide
- Use JDZ9-20 only in isolated neutral (ungrounded) 20 kV systems with phase-to-phase primary connection.
- Select accuracy class 0.2 for billing-grade metering; 0.5 for general monitoring or protection applications.
- Specify secondary voltage (100 V, 100/â3 V, or 100/3 V) based on connected equipment requirements.
- Calculate total burden (VA) including meters, relays, and wiring losses; ensure it does not exceed rated output.
- Verify ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude) comply with service limits before installation.
- For three-phase systems, order three single-phase units; residual voltage detection is not supported in JDZ9-20.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which model suits grounded neutral systems for ground fault detection?
The JDZX9-20G and JDZXF9-20G models are designed for grounded neutral systems. They feature a 20/√3 kV phase-to-ground rating and include a residual voltage winding for fault detection. Contact us for specific secondary configurations.
Q2: Can this voltage transformer be installed in outdoor switchgear?
