Working Principle
Operating on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the voltage transformer features a laminated magnetic core with primary winding connected to the system voltage and secondary winding providing proportional voltage output. The transformer operates on the voltage transformation principle, delivering standardized secondary voltage through connected burden while maintaining accurate phase relationships.
System Application Position
- Medium Voltage Distribution: 35kV outdoor substations and distribution systems
- Energy Metering: Revenue-grade electricity measurement systems
- Protection Circuits: Overvoltage, undervoltage, and distance protection schemes

The epoxy resin casting provides stable insulation properties and resistance to moisture, UV radiation, pollution, contamination, and aging for long-term outdoor service. The compact, fully-enclosed design eliminates internal moisture accumulation and requires minimal maintenance.
Windings & Terminal Marking
- Primary terminals: A, N (phase and neutral)

- Secondary terminals (Winding 2): 2a, 2n (JDZFW-35, JDZXW-35, JDZXFW-35)
- Auxiliary winding terminals: da, dn (JDZXW-35, JDZXFW-35 for residual voltage detection)
Terminal markings follow standard VT polarity conventions. Under normal operating conditions, terminals marked ‘a’ are in phase with terminal ‘A’. Correct terminal identification shall be observed to ensure metering and protection performance. All secondary terminals are housed in the enclosed terminal box with multiple cable entry provisions.

Safety Notes
- Secondary circuit shall not be left open during operation as this may cause core saturation and overvoltage conditions.
- During inspection or maintenance, all secondary circuits shall be short-circuited and grounded before disconnecting any instruments.
- One point of each secondary circuit should be reliably grounded in accordance with applicable standards.
- All installation and maintenance work shall comply with local electrical safety regulations and utility requirements.
- For fused variants (JDZFW-35, JDZXFW-35), verify fuse ratings match the specified values and provide adequate discrimination with downstream protection.
Ordering Information
When placing an order, the required configuration shall be specified according to the local grid requirements, applicable standards, and project technical specification. The following parameters shall be clearly stated for technical confirmation and production release:
- Model variant (JDZW-35, JDZFW-35, JDZXW-35, or JDZXFW-35)
- Voltage ratio (primary voltage / secondary voltage(s))
- Application and accuracy requirements (metering and/or protection accuracy class combination)
- Rated burden (VA) for each secondary core/winding
- Insulation level (if different from standard 40.5/95/200 kV)
- Environmental conditions (altitude, pollution severity, special climatic requirements)
Selection Guidance
1: Determine required voltage ratio based on system nominal voltage (35kV) with standard secondary voltage (100V or 100/√3 V for phase-to-ground applications).
2: Select metering and/or protection accuracy requirements (e.g., 0.2 for revenue metering; 0.5 for indication; 6P for protection).
3: Confirm rated burden (VA) for each secondary circuit based on connected meters/relays and wiring losses.
4: Verify insulation level meets or exceeds system requirements based on network configuration and grounding method.
5: For open-delta residual voltage detection (ground fault indication), specify JDZXW-35 or JDZXFW-35 variants with auxiliary winding.
If local utility or project requirements apply (e.g., specific terminal arrangement, mounting height constraints, documentation language, enhanced pollution performance, or required certificates), specify them at the ordering stage. Special configurations shall be confirmed by technical agreement and final data sheet prior to production.
