Live-line Connections of OVT• Advantage OVT
– Excitation Current about 1 mA regardless of rated voltage, as compared to conventional PT excitation current of about 100 mA to 1 A (depending on rated voltage).
• Can be connected live

OVT Qualification Conclusion• NRC (NIST) Test Results indicate the suitability
of OVT to be used as reference Instrument Transformers for live-line on-site calibrations of HV Revenue Metering Systems of accuracy class 0.2 – 0.3, including HV PMU Systems which usually are of accuracy class 0.5 – 1.0.
• Because of its linearity, certain accuracy and performance parameters can be extended over harmonics and frequency
