Efficiency for the power grid<\/h2>\n

Power transformer losses account for a significant amount of the total cost of ownership. Because these losses have an environmental impact, the European Union has issued a regulation on losses in power transformers as part of the Ecodesign Directive’s sustainable energy policies. VSL has created unique calibration facilities with high accuracies for Transformer loss measurement systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”dg-padding-mid-top brand_element_small”][vc_row el_class=”dg-padding-small-bottom dg-index-fix dg-position-relative”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”full_width_responsive dg-padding-none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1690966616933{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Transformer loss measurement<\/h2>\n

Given the enormous quantities of energy transported by electricity grids, grid losses contribute significantly to our society’s overall energy losses. These losses must be generated by power plants, which have an environmental impact due to their CO2 emissions. As part of their efforts to reduce the environmental impact of energy-related products, the European Union has specified requirements for losses in small, medium, and large power transformers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1690966782447{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

On-site Transformer Load loss calibrations<\/h2>\n

VSL has developed on-site calibration facilities for commercial Transformer Load Measurement (TLM) systems. The voltage and current ranges of the VSL reference systems range from 100 V to 100 kV and from 1 A to 2000 A, both at 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with uncertainties down to 10 parts in 106 in magnitude and 0.5 mo<\/sup> in phase, to cover the full capabilities of commercial TLM systems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1658325383203{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” el_class=”full_width_responsive”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” el_class=”specialist_image” css=”.vc_custom_1658326875983{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner el_class=”specialist_image_wrapper dg-padding-none full_width_wrapper” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1658326915203{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2094″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1682425728565{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”full_width_wrapper dg-padding-square specialist_content_wrapper” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_class=”sector_specialist” css=”.vc_custom_1685542142720{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
