KK Coupling Capacitors

KK Coupling Capacitors

The coupling capacitors of the series KK or TK consist of 1 or more modular units, built into glass fibre reinforced epoxy tubes. Their applications are:

  • Providing a base load for high voltage AC resonant test systems (KK only).
  • The separation of the partial discharge signal from the high voltage.
  • Measuring AC voltages in the industrial frequency range.
  • Attenuating interferences coming from the HV side (together with a HV inductance, KK only)

    The standard base frame is fitted with castors for mobility (from 100 kV). Upon request, large and heavy versions can be equipped with air cushions.
    They are built for indoor use. with a double toroid electrode if they shall be used with large HV connections or act as HV filters.

    By adding optionally an inductance to the coupling capacitor, they form the high voltage filter KKF, which attenuates interferences coming from the high voltage reactor / transformer side.

    The high voltage filter inductance is connected between the reactor / transformer and the coupling capacitor or between two coupling capacitors.

    Typical insertion loss (50 Ω / 50 Ω at 40 kHz – 400 kHz: > 20dB

  • Key Features

  • Measuring of partial discharges by adding a coupling quadripole (option), the coupling capacitor can be used for measuring partial discharges. Haefely or third-party Coupling impedances can be used
  • Measuring of AC voltages by using a secondary unit type SEK AC (option) with standard output voltage 140 V RMS is used for voltage measurements with a DMI 551 or with a control unit OT 248 and OT 257.
