What is a PT Handcart?
A PT handcart (Potential Transformer trolley) is a withdrawable unit used in high-voltage switchgear to install and operate voltage transformers for measurement and protection purposes.
It allows safe and convenient handling of PT equipment during operation and maintenance.
Working Principle
The PT handcart moves along guide rails inside the switchgear and typically has three positions:
l Service position
l Test position
l Isolated position
Electrical connection is achieved through tulip contacts, ensuring reliable voltage signal transmission and isolation.
Functions of PT Handcart
l Provides voltage measurement signals
l Supports relay protection systems
l Enables testing and maintenance operations
l Improves overall system safety
