Product description
This chapter contains an overview of the design and function of the product.
Scope of delivery
The following items are included in the delivery:
▪ TAPCON®
▪ Terminating resistor for CAN bus (optional)
▪ Technical files
Please note the following:
▪ Check the shipment for completeness on the basis of the shipping docu-
ments.
▪ Store the parts in a dry place until installation.
Function description of the voltage regulation
The TAPCON® serves to keep constant the output voltage of a transformer
with an on-load tap-changer.
The TAPCON® compares the transformer's measured voltage (Uactual) with a
defined reference voltage (Udesired). The difference between Uactual and Udesired
is the control deviation (dU).
The TAPCON® parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage re-
sponse to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of tap-
change operations.
The following diagram shows an overview of voltage regulation.

Operating modes
The device can be operated in the following operating modes:
Auto mode (AVR AUTO)
In auto mode, the device automatically regulates the voltage in accordance
with the set parameters. Manual tap-change operations using operating con-
trols, inputs or a control system are not possible.
Manual mode (AVR MANUAL)
In manual mode, you can perform manual tap-change operations to increase
or decrease the voltage. The voltage is not regulated automatically.
Local mode (LOCAL)
In the Local operating mode, you can make entries and input commands us-
ing the device's operating controls. You cannot use inputs or the control sys-
tem to make entries or enter commands.
