An instrument transformer safely measures high electrical voltages or currents by reducing them to lower levels that can be easily monitored. Current transformers (CTs) reduce high currents, while voltage transformers (VTs) step down high voltages for accurate metering and protection.

Ahlstrom produces electrical insulation kraft paper for instrument transformers, in plain and creped paper, and in customized widths.

Insulation paper in IT transformers is crucial for safe operation of the grid. It prevents short circuits and electrical breakdowns. The paper also provides mechanical strength, keeping the windings intact. With high dielectric properties, it withstands high voltage, and its thermal resistance helps prevent overheating. Overall, Ahlstrom’s insulation paper ensures the durability and reliable performance of instrument transformers.

And there's more

Ahlstrom’s electrotechnical paper offering covers a wide range of end-use applications such as power transformers, instrument transformers, distribution transformers, bushings and cables.

Ahlstrom uses fiber from responsible and legal sources, and all
products qualify for Chain-of-Custody Forestry Credits and Certification.
