Specifies general requirements and tests for all types of VTs and, in separate sections, specific requirements for single-phase VTs, for CVTs, for three-phase VTs and for Designation L VTs. Deals specifically with accuracy and short-term and long-term overvoltage ratings and applies the rated voltage factor to the VT as an entity, as well as to individual secondary windings. Primary windings are classified as 'uniformly insulated' or 'non-uniformly insulated'. Categories of performance (A and B) are specified for three-phase VTs only. Includes many explanatory appendices and enlarges on the determination of primary and secondary currents and of temperature coefficients of error, and on the determination of errors under different conditions.

This standard specifies requirements for voltage transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments and electrical protection devices such as are covered, in general, by the following Australian standards: AS 1284 Electricity Meters AS 1024 Direct Recording Electrical Measuring Instruments and Their Accessories AS 1042 Direct-acting Indicating Electrical Measuring Instruments and Their Accessories AS 1384 Transducers for Electrical Measurements AS 2481 All-or-nothing Electrical Relays.NOTES:1. Throughout this standard, the words 'voltage transformer' are abbreviated to VT and 'capacitor voltage transformer' to CVT. (The plurals are VTs and CVTs respectively.)2. In order to facilitate the specification and purchase of VTs, the standard also lists information which should be supplied with enquiry and order (see Appendix N).3. Particular attention is drawn to the Foreword to AS 1384 concerning possible peculiarities in the burdens imposed on VTs by certain transducers.
