Solcon EPT-Tx WO1458447008 | High-Precision 11kV Electronic Potential Transformer The Solcon EPT-Tx (Model WO1458447008) is a special type of electronic potential transformer that is made just for medium voltage (MV) applications. It is mostly used with Solcon’s top-of-the-line soft starters. As a marine engineer, I’ve seen these units work in the toughest engine room situations. This EPT-Tx is like the eyes of your control system. It sends accurate voltage information from the 11kV busbars to the low-voltage control electronics. This electronic version is smaller, has better linearity, and is safer because it keeps high-voltage transients away from the sensitive microprocessor logic. This is different from traditional heavy-core transformers. Technical Details: Attribute Specification Manufacturer Solcon-Igla Model / Type EPT-Tx Work Order (WO) 1458447008 PCB Revision PC2078-3 REV-1 Rated Primary Voltage 11kV Application Medium Voltage Soft Starters (HRVS-DN) Insulation Class High-Voltage Reinforced Maintenance Guide by NDMarineTech: The chief engineer says, The EPT-Tx is a tough piece of equipment, but in a marine environment, moisture and carbon dust are its silent killers. Schedule for Regular Maintenance: Every three months, look for tracking marks (carbonizing) on the insulation body. If you see any signs of treeing, it means that the dielectric is no longer intact. Monthly cleaning: Oil mist and salty air can make a conductive film in engine rooms. Use an approved electrical contact cleaner or a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the outside. Connection Integrity: Make sure that the high-voltage input leads and the low-voltage ribbon and terminal connections are properly torqued. When HV connections are loose, they can cause arcing, which will damage the PCB.
