Warranty Information

The manufacturer warranty is 24 months from operation start, not exceeding 36 months from purchase.

The VT Guard Pro is an advanced security device designed to protect MV inductive voltage transformers (VTs) against ferroresonant oscillations, particularly in open-delta connections of three single-phase VTs. It actively dampens these oscillations, preventing damage from overcurrents and overvoltages, without consuming excessive power during normal operation. Two versions exist: VT Guard Pro and VT Guard Pro-D, the latter featuring self-diagnostic capabilities. The device is installed in a low-voltage compartment on a DIN rail and connected to the VT's measuring windings. Settings for threshold voltage and time delay can be adjusted using jumpers. The VT Guard Pro-D also includes diagnostic connections and status LEDs. Proper installation involves disconnecting power and using appropriate isolators. Regular maintenance focuses on keeping air-ventilation gaps clean.
