Rogowski coils offer highly accurate secondary outputs without the risk of saturation since they do not incorporate an iron core. The air - core design ensures linear measurement, although it generates only a relatively small voltage (1V as opposed to 100V). This characteristic enables a compact equipment layout and allows for easy integration into Gas - Insulated Switchgear (GIS) with minimal space requirements due to the absence of an iron core. Additionally, Rogowski coils exhibit high immunity to noise and surge voltages because their coupling factor is significantly lower than that of coils with an iron core.
In a GIS enclosure, the primary conductor functions as the primary winding of the Rogowski coil. The secondary winding of the coil, which has an air core, is connected to an analog - to - digital converter within an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED). Subsequently, it is linked to the protection and control system via an optical bus. The primary conductor, operating at a high - voltage potential, carries the current and serves as the primary winding of the Rogowski coil.
The secondary windings are at ground potential within the GIS enclosure. Their role is to transform the current in the primary conductor into an induced voltage in the secondary windings of the Rogowski coil. As shown in the photo, an electronic card then converts the measured value into a digital signal for connection to the control system.

What is reactive power measurement?
What is reactive power measurement?
The power which exists in the circuit when the voltage and current are out of phase to each other, such type of power is known as the reactive power. The formula measures the reactive power in the circuitReactive Power Measurement & VarmetersReactive power measurement is critical as it indicates circuit power loss: low reactive power worsens load power factor, increasing system losses. Varmeters (volt-ampere reactive meters) measure reactive power and are categorized by circuit phases:Single

What should be noted when selecting and installing GIS voltage transformers?
In power systems, voltage transformers in GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) play a crucial role in voltage measurement and relay protection. Selecting the right model and installing it correctly is vital for the stable operation of the equipment. The following points should be noted regarding selection and installation.I. Key Points for Selection(1) Matching Rated ParametersVoltage Level: It must be consistent with the voltage level of the GIS system. For example, 110kV and 220kV GIS systems requir
