Construction
The JLSW3-10 features a compact square oil tank designed for outdoor service, combining durability with ease of maintenance. The oil-immersed insulation system ensures high dielectric strength and thermal stability, while an integrated moisture-prevention device on the tank cover blocks external humidity ingress. Three single-phase fully-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformers and three electromagnetic current transformers are securely mounted on the tank base plate and enclosed within the oil-filled assembly. The tank cover includes lifting lugs for handling, an oil level gauge for monitoring, a grounding bolt for safety, and a drain valve for servicing. All components are configured for Y/Y three-phase connection across A, B, and C phases, ensuring balanced operation in medium-voltage outdoor distribution systems.

Installation & Wiring
Installation Diagram

The JLSW3-10 10kV outdoor oil-immersed combined instrument transformer shall be installed in accordance with the dimensional drawing provided. Secure mounting must be performed using the designated base provisions to ensure mechanical stability. Primary connections for both the potential transformer (PT) and current transformer (CT) must follow the terminal markings and connection diagram. Maintain adequate clearance around the unit for insulation, heat dissipation, oil level monitoring, and maintenance access. A zinc oxide surge arrester must be installed within 1 meter of the transformer for effective lightning protection.
Selection & FAQs
Selection Guide
- Select the 6kV or 10kV version and confirm the three-phase Y/Y metering connection and system grounding.
- Specify VT and CT ratios, secondary outputs, number of cores, and terminal allocation.
- Choose class 0.2 or 0.2S and calculate the connected burden for every secondary winding.
- Confirm altitude, pollution, temperature, lightning protection, and any protection-core requirement.
- Verify certified dimensions, foundation, terminal clearances, grounding, oil inspection access, and arrester placement.
