CAUTION ALERTS
Caution alerts in this manual describe haz-
ardous situations that may cause personal
injury and/or property damage if the instruc-
tions in the Caution alerts are not followed.
Caution alerts are highlighted like this:
FIELD INSTALLATION
The auxiliary current transformer assembly
has its own set of lift-off hinges. Installation
consists of mating the hinge halves of the
auxiliary current transformer and the control
box, then mounting the auxiliary current
transformer above the main control.
The auxiliary current transfor~er has an
accuracy of::t 1% with a 25-VA burden at a
70% power factor. The secondary of the
transformer must be short-circuited, using
the short-circuiting block provided, when a
metering device is not connected to the
secondary.

INTRODUCTION
These instructions apply to the installation
of the auxiliary current transformer acces-
sory for single-phase, mineral oil-!illed, vol-
tage regulators manufactured by Cooper
Power Systems.
Supplement 5 to Service Information
S225-10-1 (CL-2) or S225-10-5 (CL-2A) VR-
32 Regulator: Operating, Maintenance and
Parts Replacement Instructions, covers field
installation, connections, current calcula-
tions, and parts ordering information for a
McGraw-Edison auxiliary current transformer
No. 9061 (Figure 1) in a CL-2 or CL-2Acontrol
mounted on a VR-32 voltage regulator.
NOTE: A copy of S225-10-1 or S225-10-()
accompanies each VR-32 regulator shipped
by Cooper.
The auxiliary current transformer steps
up the 0.2-amp control current supply to a
usable 2.5-amp or 5.0-amp source for spe-
cial metering purposes.
Only trained and experienced personnel
should install or operate this equipment.
These instructions are written to assist
such personnel, and are not intended to
replace proper training and experience.
These instructions do not claim to cover all
details or variations in this equipment, pro-
cedure, or process described, nor to pro-
vide directions for meeting every possible
contingency during installation and replac-
ing a part in an auxiliary current transformer.
If the personnel installing or replacing a
part in an auxiliary current transformer
needs information about a condition not
covered in these instructions, please con-
tact your Cooper Power Systems represen-
tative.
WARNING/DANGER ALERTS
Warning/Danger alerts in this manual des-
cribe hazardous situations that may cause
death and/or personal injury if the instruc-
tions in the Warning/Danger alerts are not
followed. Warning/Danger alerts are high-
lighted like this:
,&WARNING/DANGER
A Warning/Danger alert describes a
hazardous situation that may cause
death and/or personal injury and gives
instructions on how to avoid death and/
or personal injury.
INITIAL INSPECTION
Each McGraw-Edison auxiliary current
transformer is shippedinacarton designed
to protect the unit from in-transit damage.
Immediately upon receipt of the auxiliary
current transformer:
. Thoroughly inspect the housing and the
wiring to make sure the auxiliary C.T.is
in good condition.
If initial inspection revealsdamage or evi-
dence of rough handling in transit, im-
mediately file a claim with the carrier and
notify your Cooper Power Systems repre-
sentative.
IDENTIFICATION RECORDS
For permanent auxiliary current trans-
former identification, record complete, ac-
curate information, for example:
. VR-32 regulator serial number.
. CL-2 or CL-2Acontrol serial number.
. Aux. C.T.serial number.
. Date auxiliary current transformer was
installed.
CONNECTIONS
Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the
auxiliary current transformer, showing its
connections and its relationship to the main
control.
The two jumpers on the terminal strip on
the rear of the accessory panel determines
the current available from the auxiliary cur-
rent transformer.
To make appropriate connections:
1. Remove the jumper between C4 and
C3 on the rear panel terminal board
(T81).
2. Connect the primary lead 83 (green) of
current transformer to C4.
3. Connect the F3 (orange) primary lead
toC3.
For selection of desired amp supply, refer
Table 1 for the proper jumper connections.
These instructions do not claim to cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedure, or process described, nor to provide
directions for meeting every possible contingency during installation, operation, or maintenance. When additional information is desired
to satisfy a problem not covered sufficiently for the users purpose, please contact your Cooper Power Systems sales engineer:

Figure 3 illustrates the physical wiring of the
auxiliary current transformer and the con-
nections that are made from it to the rear
panel signal circuit. The metering device is
connected to S1 and F2 for either amp
supply applications.
CURRENT CALCULATION
The primary current might not be 0.2 amp at
the rated regulator load. This current depends
upon the ratio of the toroidal current trans-
former that is inthe regulator tank and the rated
load amps ofthe regulator. Both of these values
are stamped on the nameplate or found inTable
3 of 8225-10-1 or Table 2-2 of 8225-10-5. '
To determine the actual load current on
the regulator from the reading on the meter-
ing device connected to the auxiliary current
transformer.
1. Identify the current transformer ratio by
checking the regulator rating plate.
2. Examine the jumper positions to deter-
mine the auxiliary current transformer
ratio.
3. Calculate the load amps on the regulator
using the following formula:
Load amps = CT ratio X aux CT ratio X
aux meter reading.
Example
Regulator
rating = 328 amps,7620/13200Y.
CT ratio = 400:0.2.
Aux. CT ratio =1:25. (or 1:12.5)
Auxiliary
meter reading = 3 amps.
400 1
Load amps =Q2X25X 3=240amps.
