Končar - Instrument Transformers Inc.

 Application
Current and voltage instrument transformers are used to step-down
current and voltage (respectively) to defined values, and thus provide
standardized, useable levels of current and voltage in a variety of
power monitoring, measurement and protection applications while
insulating the measurement and protection equipment from high
system voltage.

The paper-oil insulation is closed in and hermetically sealed off from
ambient air by means of a stainless steel bellows. The stainless steel
bellows compensates the thermal oil expansion and thus also serves as an
expansion mechanism and an oil level indicator. Alternatively, the VKU type
