Functions and settings
This chapter gives a short summary of all important func-
tions and possible settings of the voltage regulator. For
details, see the voltage regulator's operating instructions.
Before carrying out the parameterization, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. If necessary, press and at the same time to
deactivate the key lock.
2. Press to select manual mode.
3. Press to select the main menu.
ðThe parameters can be set.
Setting the language
You can use this parameter to set the display language
for the device. The following languages are available:
English Italian
German Portuguese
French Russian
Spanish
To set the language, proceed as follows:

1. > Configuration > General.
ðLanguage
2. Press or to select the required language.
3. Press .
ðThe language is set.
NORMset
NORMset mode is used for quickly starting voltage regu-
lation. In NORMset mode, the bandwidth and delay time
parameters are automatically adapted to the require-
ments of the grid.
Line drop compensation cannot be performed in
NORMset mode.
Set the following parameters to operate the device in
NORMset mode.
Activating/deactivating NORMset
You can use this parameter to activate NORMset mode.

4 Functions and settings
15
A manual tap-change operation is required to activate
NORMset. This is how the voltage regulator determines
the bandwidth required.
If the transformer is switched off, another manual tap-
change operation is required.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate NORMset
mode:
1. > NORMset
ðNORMset activation.
2. Press or to activate NORMset by selecting
On or to deactivate NORMset by selecting Off.
3. Press .
ðNORMset is activated/deactivated.
Setting the primary voltage
With this parameter, you can set the voltage transform-
er's primary voltage.
Proceed as follows to set the primary voltage:
1. > NORMset > Press until the desired
parameter is displayed.
ðPrimary voltage.
2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.

3. Press .
ðThe primary voltage is set.
Setting the secondary voltage
With this parameter, you can set the voltage transform-
er's secondary voltage.
Proceed as follows to set the secondary voltage:
1. > NORMset > Press until the desired
parameter is displayed.
ðSecondary voltage.
2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.
3. Press .
ðThe secondary voltage is set.
Setting desired value 1
With this parameter, you can set the desired value for au-
tomatic voltage regulation. You can enter the desired val-
ue as follows:
In V The value relates to the secondary voltage of the
voltage transformer.
In kV The value relates to the primary voltage of the volt-
age transformer.
Table 1: Desired value setting

4 Functions and settings
17
Settings in kV are only possible if you have previously
entered the parameters for primary and secondary volt-
age.
Proceed as follows to set the desired value:
1. > NORMset > Press until the desired
parameter is displayed.
ðDesired value 1.
2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.
3. Press .
ðThe desired value is set.
Control parameters
Setting desired value 1...3
You can set up to 3 desired voltage values. Desired val-
ue 1 is the default desired value. Desired values 2 and 3
are activated if there is a continuous signal at factory-pre-
set control inputs 4:17 or X4:18.

4.3.1

4 Functions and settings

Proceed as follows to set the desired value:
1. > Control parameter > voltage regulator
> Press until the desired parameter is dis-
played.
ðDesired value 1/Desired value 2/Desired val-
ue 3.
2. If you have already entered the transformer data,
press to select the unit you want: "V" or "kV".
3. Press to highlight the position.
ðThe desired position is highlighted and the
value can be changed.
4. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.
5. Press .
ðThe desired value is set.
Selecting a desired value
You can use this parameter to select the active desired
value 1, 2 or 3.
If you select the desired value using appropriately con-
figured GPIs, this parameter's setting is ignored. Refer
to the operating instructions for more information about
GPI configuration.

Proceed as follows to select a desired value:
1. > Control parameter > Voltage regula-
tion > Press until the desired parameter is dis-
played.
ðActive Desired Volt. Level
2. Press or to select an active desired value.
3. Press .
ðThe selected desired value is active.
Setting delay time T1
This function delays the issuing of a tap-change com-
mand for a defined period. This prevents unnecessary
tap-change operations if the tolerance bandwidth is exit-
ed.
To set the delay time T1, proceed as follows:
1. > Parameter > Control parameter >
Press until the desired parameter is displayed.
ðDelay time T1.
2. Press to highlight the position.
ðThe desired position is highlighted and the
value can be changed.
3. Press to increase the time or to reduce it.

4. Press .
ðThe delay time T1 is set.
Setting control response T1
You can set the control response as linear or integral.
Linear
Device responds with a constant delay time which is in-
dependent of the control deviation.
Integral
Device responds with a variable delay time which is de-
pendent on the control deviation. The greater the control
deviation (ΔU) in relation to the set bandwidth (B), the
shorter the delay time.
Proceed as follows to set the control response T1:
1. > Parameter > Control parameter >
Press until the desired parameter is displayed.
ðControl response T1.
2. Press or to set the response you want.
3. Press .
ðThe control response T1 is set.
