| Summary: | Abstract As voltage measuring devices are widely used in the high voltage power system with a primary‐secondary‐fusion structure, electronic voltage transformers are directly connected to the primary conductor and would face much more serious electromagnetic environments than general secondary equipment. As a result, they would still experience failures even when general protection measures are adopted to suppress overvoltages' amplitudes. To address this issue, an innovative method is proposed after analyses are conducted on the resonance between a transformer and an overvoltage. Within this method, an air‐cored coil is installed in a transformer to artificially shift its natural frequency and to dodge the high‐frequency dominant component of a transient overvoltage, avoiding the aforementioned resonance and suppressing the secondary overvoltage. In addition, simulations and laboratory tests are conducted to prove this method's validity.
