3 Product description
The device serves to keep constant the output voltage of a transformer with
an on-load tap-changer.
To do this, the device compares the transformer's measured output voltage
(Vactual) with a defined desired voltage (Vdesired). The difference between Vactual
and Vdesired is the control deviation (dV).
If the control deviation is greater than the specified bandwidth (B%), the de-
vice emits a switching pulse after a defined delay time T1. The switching
pulse triggers an on-load tap-changer tap change which corrects the trans-
former's output voltage.
The device parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage behavior
to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of tap-change
operations of the on-load tap-changer.
The following diagram (on page 19) shows an overview of voltage regulation.
Figure 1 Overview of voltage regulation

3.1 Performance features
The voltage regulator is responsible for controlling tapped transformers.
Apart from control tasks, the voltage regulator provides additional functions
such as:
Integrated protective functions:
Undervoltage and overcurrent blocking
Overvoltage detection with high-speed return
Line drop compensation
Compensation for voltage fluctuations in the meshed grid (Z compensa-
tion)
Digital inputs and outputs can be individually programmed on-site by the
user
Additional indicators using LEDs outside the display for freely selectable
functions
Display of all measured values such as voltage, current, active power, ap-
parent power or reactive power, power factor (cos φ)
Plug terminals make it easier to connect the cables
Selection of 3 different desired values
3.1.1 Operating modes
The device can be operated in the following operating modes:
AUTO/MANUAL
In auto mode (AUTO), the voltage is automatically controlled in accordance
with the set parameters. The settings cannot be changed in auto mode.
In manual mode (MANUAL), no automatic control occurs. The motor-drive unit
can be controlled via the device's operating panel. The settings can be
changed.
LOCAL/REMOTE
In remote mode (REMOTE), commands from an external control interface are
executed. In this case, manual operation of the , , and
keys is disabled.
