How to purchase a really economical transformer
TOC with loss evaluations
ABB China
July 1, 2018 | Slide 20
What does a customer pay for in transformer life cycle
§ The real cost of a transformer paid by the owner is the sum of the initial
purchase price (first cost) plus the cost of running it for its useful life 20-30
years. The components are describes as following
§ Initial purchase price
§ Running cost
§ Cost of losses
§ No-load losses
§ Load losses
§ Commissioning cost
§ Maintenance cost
§ Emissions cost (depending on regulations)
What does a customer pay for ?
=
Life Cycle Cost ! (LCC)
ABB China
July 1, 2018 | Slide 21
Why to consider Life Cycle Cost
§ The major cost in transformer life circle is the running cost.
§ IEC 60300 recommends LCC methodology for investment.
§ Each government investment project in the United States is required to have LCC report for
approval since 1999.

Magazine (2006.06, 12th )
Based on 0.43RMB/kWh
Total Ownership Cost is a reduced LCC model
§ Calculation of LCC for all possible options of designs is difficult and impractical. (CIGRE 2012, A2-204)
§ TOC is a reduced LCC model and the appropriate methodology to find correct balance between
purchase price and the future cost of losses!
§ CIGRE report (CIGRE 2012, A2-204) recommends TOC as a rational approach to evaluate different
technologies to balance losses in T&D devices and investments.
§ ABB transformer has lower commissioning cost, maintenance cost, and emissions cost due to high
quality and advanced technology integrated into the product.

How to evaluate Total Ownership Cost
ABB China
July 1, 2018 | Slide 24
§ Customer has recognized that reducing losses can
bring running cost saving, but the lowest losses is
not always leading to the most economical
transformer based on LCC concept.
§ Purchasing decisions shall be made only based
on the right balance between purchase price and
the future cost of losses.
§ Customer needs to investigate loss evaluations
according to the actual load conditions.

Total Ownership Cost formula
§ Total Ownership Cost method takes future running cost of a unit over its lifetime brought back into net
present value, and added to its purchase price.
TOC = Purchase Price + A x No-load Losses + B x Load Losses
§ No-load losses in transformers as generated in magnetic core are relatively constant, independent of load
and take place whenever the transformer is energized
§ Load losses occur in windings and structural parts and depend on the load on the transformer and vary
with the square of the load current and also a function of temperature
§ A: Capitalization per kW of no-load losses during transformer life cycle ( NLL evaluation )
§ B: Capitalization per kW of load losses during transformer life cycle ( LL evaluation )

How to purchase a really economical transformer
TOC does help
customer purchase a
really economical
transformer!
§ Transformer factory can help customer achieve the lowest TOC if loss evaluations are available
(Value A & B).
§ Optimising a design using A & B factors results in the most cost-effective design over the
transformer life cycle, based on customers’ cost of energy and load factors:
§ Cost of capital
§ Cost of energy
§ Cost of additional capacity – generation, transmission & distribution
§ Transformer operating hours per year
§ Loading characteristics – peak & load factor
Recommendations
ABB China
July 1, 2018 | Slide 27
§ The TOC should be the procurement factor to evaluate the tenders.
§ TOC is a reduced LCC model and the appropriate methodology to balance purchase price
and the future cost of losses!
§ TOC methodology with loss evaluations can contribute to improving energy efficiency of
T&D equipment and reducing CO2 emissions.
§ In the long term, Mongolia needs to use TOC to choose more economic transformer
with the correct value of each saved kilowatt of loss.
§ CIGRE report gives reasons that capitalized costs of no-load losses may be in the range of
8,000 - 17,000 €/kW today and may be higher in the future.
§ Set different loss evaluations for different regions.
§ ABB provides a link to calculate A and B values as follows:

1. Functions
1.1 The oil-impregnated paper condenser bushings for transformers are
used to lead HV conductors through transformer oiltank, both as a
support to conducting parts and an insulator to oiltank.
1.2 Application:
1.2.1 Ambient Temperature: -40~+40℃
1.2.2 Altitude and Clean Degree: the normal bushings can be applied to average
normal areas with an altitude below 1000m. The pollution-resistant bushings are
applicable to stipulated polluted areas. Pollution-resistant classes include Class ,
Ⅰ
Class , Class , and Class , with corresponding creepage distance 16mm/kV
Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ 、
20mm/kV、25mm/kV、31mm/kV. For those areas with an altitude between 1000m
and 4000m, the insulation distance and test voltage should be in accordance with
IEC60185 and GB311.1 Publications.
1.2.3 Installation: for the vertically installed bushings, an angle of 0~30°between the
axis of bushing and vertical line is permitted; for the horizontally installed bushings,
an angle of 0~15°between the axis of bushing and horizontal line is permitted.
2. Construction
2.1 The oil-impregnated paper condenser transformer bushing consists of
oil conservator, porcelain, condenser body, flange joint and
equi-potential ball, etc. As the main insulation of bushing, the
condenser body is a coaxial cylindrical capacitor composed of
aluminum and oil-impregnated paper, sheet aluminum as electrode
plate, and oil-impregnated paper as medium between electrodes. The
innermost coaxial cylinder is connected with lead conductor, while the
outermost coaxial cylinder is connected with test tap which is jointed
2
with mounting flange. The condenser body is of series-wound structure,
so as to achieve an evenly distributed electric field both along and
perpendicular to the axis of the bushing. In order to achieve aimed
electrical performance and sufficient performance tolerance, the
condenser body is dried under vacuum condition for elimination of
inside air and moisture, and impregnated under vacuum condition by
high-quality transformer oil.
2.2 The bushing is of overall mechanically sealed structure. In order to
achieve good sealing performance, between parts oil-resistant rubber
gaskets are inserted which in turn are reinforced by strong springs. It
is guaranteed that the inner insulation is protected against erosion by
outside atmosphere, so as to ensure reliable and steady electrical
performance for a long time.
2.3 The air side porcelain is of glued structure, so as to achieve high-level
mechanical anti-deformation strength.
2.4 Test tap and oil sampling device are fixed on the mounting flange. The
sampling device is used for taking out oil sample from bushing. The test
tap is insulated from mounting flange and used for measuring dielectric
loss and partial discharge of the bushing. During operation the test tap
can be earthed through connecting with the mounting flange by
tightening a protective cap on the test tap.
2.5 There are two ways of connection between the bushing and HV
conductor in the transformer: draw leadand bottom connection .

3. Performance and Dimension
Technical performance and properties conform toIEC60137 and
GB/T 4109 “Insuladed Bushing for Alternating Voltage Above 1000V”.
As for technical indexes and dimensions, please refer to the attached
catalogues.
4. Handling upon Receipt
4.1 Inspection of the Bushing
When the bushing is received, the case should be opened for the
purpose of inspection of bushing as soon as possible. If damage of the
bushing is evident, please notify the details immediately to Nanjing Zhida
Electric Co., Ltd.
4.2 Uncrating
After the top cover is opened, it can be seen that the bushing is so
inclined that the top of the bushing is 3°above horizontal level. If the
bushing is to be put back in the case after test on a transformer, please
position the bushing in the same inclined condition.
Please be extremely careful to avoid any damage on porcelain
and other parts of the bushing.

If tightwire is used for lifting bushings, please wind cloth around it so as to avoid any
damage on porcelains and metal parts.
4.3.3 When putting the bushing on the ground, be sure to use soft rests and supports,
to keep its top higher than the bottom and to protect it from being damaged, as
shown in Fig. 3.
4.4 The bushing can be set to vertical position in the manner as shown
below:
4.4.1 There are four holes for lifting on the installation flange. While being lifted, the
main lifting rope shall be fixed on these holes, to bear the weight of bushing.
4.4.2 Figure 4 shows the typical manner to set the bushing in vertical position.
4.4.3 An auxiliary rope shall be fixed on the bushing as a convenience for adjusting the
inclination angle, as shown in Figure 5.
5. Installation
5.1 Before installation, the bushing must be checked so that it can be
assured on tightness of fixed parts and no damage of parts. Wipe off
6
dust and dirt accumulated on the surface of the bushing; for bushings
with cable as current-carrying material, the inner cavity of conductor
shall also be cleaned. If possible, the sealing performance of bushing
should also be tested.
5.2 Set the bushing vertically on a support; check and adjust oil level
inside the oil conservator, which shall be at the medium and top level of
oil conservator (viz. between 1/2 and 2/3 of the oil gauge). If oil level is
too high, the pressure inside bushing shall become extraordinarily high,
resulting the possible leakage of oil. On the other hand, if oil level is too
low, it is impossible to detect the change in oil level. When oil level is
too high, the oil can be discharged to appropriate quantity through the
sampling cap on the installation flange; when oil level is too low, the oil
can be filled to appropriate quantity through the injection cap on the oil
conservator.

ATTENTION: 1. Do not remove the test wire while the bushing is energized (live
supervision and test).
2. Do not remove the protective cap when the bushing is energized.
3. Replace the protective cap before the bushing is put into
operation.
6.5 Please keep the bushing in vertical or installation position (maximum
30°against the vertical line) for at least 24 hours prior to application of
voltage.
7. Maintenance
The bushing has good electrical and mechanical performance. With
proper maintenance, the bushing shall serve clients satisfactorily. The
bushing must be used according to the stipulated conditions. Furthermore,
the following should also be taken into consideration:
7.1 To ensure the sealing performance is the key element to guarantee the
long life time of bushing.
7.1.1 During operation the oil level of oil gauge must be often checked. The oil level
shall be adjusted to be neither too high nor too low. If oil level is too high, the
pressure inside bushing shall become extraordinarily high, resulting the possible
leakage of oil; in this case, the oil can be discharged to appropriate quantity through
11
the sampling cap on the installation flange. On the other hand, if oil level is too low, it
is impossible to guarantee safe operation; in this case, the oil can be filled to
appropriate quantity through the injection cap on the oil conservator.
7.1.2 During operation the transformer oil inside bushings should be sampled and
tested periodically. Usually one year after being put into operation, the oil should be
tested and the test result be compared with leave factory values. If the test result is
within normal range, it can be concluded that the sealing performance is reliable.
Later on the oil should be sampled and tested every 3~5 years or longer. If
performance of oil decreases considerably, some new oil should be sampled and
tested again and the tanδ of bushing should also be measured (positive sequential).
Procedures of sampling of oil are as follows: first, open the injection cap on the oil
conservator, so as to avoid outside air entering into the bushing through the
installation flange in case the air pressure inside is lower than that outside of the
bushing. Second, clean the sampling cap on the installation flange, open the cap with
a wrench, rotate the special sampling mouth into the cap hole, tighten the mouth after
it reaches the inner block, and finally the transformer oil shall flow out. Third, reverse
the above procedure after enough quantity of oil is taken. And last, close the injection
cap on the oil conservator.
Note: Vertisal stripes are seen where is no oil.

7.1.3 The bushing is an overall sealed product. Therefore, after sampling, all the
disturbed sealing parts should be tightened to guarantee its sealing performance.
Otherwise some moisture may enter into the bushing and threaten the insulation of
bushing, resulting lowered performance, or even vicious accidents such as blast of
bushing in serious cases.
7.2 At the factory, all bushings are subjected to dielectric loss test at indoor
temperature. Maximum permissible value of factory-measured dielectric
loss is 0.5% at Ur and actually measured value on each bushing is
recorded on its certificate of conformity. The factory values, however,
may differ from, reading obtained from the same bushing when installed
on the transformer. Thus it is recommended that the first reading taken
after installation to be the reference value for future comparison.
7.3 The test tap should be earthed securely. There is a test tap on the
installation flange. During test the protective cap shall be taken off from
the test tap to achieve insulation from installation flange; at this time,
dielectric loss angle tanδ and partial discharge can be measured.
During operation the protective cap shall be tightened on the test tap, to
guarantee secure earthing together with installation flange. During
operation the test tap is forbidden to be opened.
7.4 The outer insulator of bushing shall be cleaned periodically according
to site operation condition.
7.5 Before electrical performance tests (withstand voltage, partial
discharge and dielectric loss tests, etc.), the bushing shall be put on a
support vertically to maintain for more than 24h..
13
If the bushing is to be returned to factory for repair, please contact the
Company. The bushing is forbidden to be disassembled without the
consent of the Company; if it is necessary to be disassembled, the
Client shall do so after consent from the Company is obtained.
8. Removal and Storage of Bushings
8.1 When the bushing is removed from transformer after tests, please wipe
off the oil on the bottom porcelain surface. If the oil is left unwiped, it
may be misunderstood that there is oil leakage in the bushing.
8.2 The bushing is packed in wooden cases, which shall have sufficient
mechanical strength to protect the bushing against any damage during
transportation. There shall be several locating wooden plates inside the
case to make sure that the pressure is evenly distributed on the bushing.
The head of the bushing shall be inclined about 3○ above horizontal
level. The wooden case is sealed by wooden plates at six sides to
protect the bushing. If the bushing is to be put back in previously used
cases, the latter shall be checked carefully, and when necessary, be
reinforced according to the above-mentioned packing requirements.
Before packing, please cover the bushing with temporary protective
coat.
8.3 The bushing shall be put in a ventilated room and shall be kept away
from the source of heat and fire. It may be put in a wooden case, or on a
support for storage.
14
8.4 When the bushing is to be put into service after long storage, please
clean surfaces of porcelains and metal parts and carry out necessary
checks.
8.4.1 Please inspect whether there is any damage on porcelains, oil leakage, rust on
metal parts or any other irregularity.
8.4.2 Please measure the resistance between the test tap and installation flange, and
between the central conductor and installation flange by means of a 1000V megger.
In this case, measured value of 1000MΩ or more is a proof that the bushing is
suitable for putting into use.

2.2 The sketch of the product structure (see sketch 1, sketch 2,sketch3, sketch 4 )
2.3 Performance parameter (see table 1)
3. Design characteristic
3.1 The fan is designed according to the aerodynamics principle, with a variable cross section wind shape vane and
the optimum impeller parameter. So it features the excellent aerodynamics performance with high wind speed,
high wind pressure, low noise and low electrical power consumption.
3.2 The vane of the fan is precisely made of aluminum alloy which has high strength, and it features light weight,
high strength, long service time and adverse circumstances resisting.
3.3 The impeller of fan is mounted directly on the motor axis and keeps dynamic balance so the energy loss of
mechanical driving is avoided.
3.4 This series of fan can send wind flatly or vertically according to the different mount position of the transformer
radiator.
3.5 There is a protecting cover where the air blows in, and a protecting cover also can be mounted at the place the
air blows out according to the consumer’s requirements.
3.6 The surface of the fan is treated with lacquer, and it can also be treated with zincification according to the
consumer’s requirements.
3.7 The electromotor of the fan is an airproof asynchronous three-phase one with fine outside performance. The
rating voltage of the fan electromotor can be turned wide voltage (220~415V) according to the consumer’s
requirements.
3.8 The rate of flow of the fan will be reduced along with the increasing of the elevation.

3.9 The short iron core designed ourselves and the radiator are mounted on the motor. The motor has reliable
performance and could be used safely. The protection grade is IP55, insulation grade is B (or F).
4. Operation Conditions
4.1 The ambient air temperature: between -45℃ and 75℃.
4.2 Height above sea level: less than 1000m.
4.3 The relative humidity: the highest average relative humidity in the most moist month is 95%,with the lowest
average temperature (in the same time)of 25℃.
4.4 The industry air without acid, alkali and all kind of solvent could flow through the fan.
4.5 The maximum sun radiation intensity: 0.98kw/m2
.
4.6 The maximum rainfall intensity: 50mm/10min.
4.7 Allow the sand and dust existing.
4.8 Allow the ice, snow, frost and dew existing.
Note: Request should be indicated if the actual operation condition is not answer for the items mentioned
before.
5 Installation and maintenance
5.1 Before installation, check the fan carefully to find out whether it is damaged or distorted.
Repair and then install it if it is damaged or distorted.
5.2 Pay attention to checking every joining part to find out whether it has became loose, to find out whether the
clearance of impeller and casings is well-distributed and to check whether there is a collision between them, if
these occur, adjust the position of motor until the clearance is well-distributed.
5.3 The base of the fan must be joined naturally with the ground, and can not be compulsorily jointed with screw,
otherwise the fan will be out of shape.
5.4 The protection grid mounted on the fan mustn’t be too dense. The distance between blast inlet and the other
structure (such as wall) must be more than 1.5D, otherwise, the aerodynamic properties would be reduced and
the noise level would be increased.
5.5 Before you have installed the fan successfully, try to revolve it to test and then put it in use formally.
5.6 If the fan is left unused for a long time, an when it is used again and these is an abnormal sound in revolution,
carefully check every joining point to find whether it is still fixed firmed and whether the vanes have been
badly abraded and whether the surface of wire is intact. If there is some thing wrong, please repair and adjust it
or replace the damaged part in time.
5.7 Wires should be connected correctly after installing the fan successfully. The connection box should be
airproofed to avoid water leaking into it, which can arouses short circuit of electromotor.
5.8 Export of the fan junction box should install waterproof cable connector, in order to prevent flood water
from entering the junction box and leading to the burning motor.
6. Portage and preservation
6.1 Pay attention to put it up and lay it down gently. Convey and place it according to the mark on the package of
the fan and never upend.
6.2 Protect the package from strong vibration to avoid damaging the package and the product.
6.3 The depositary should be ventilate, dry, clean and far away from corrosive gas. Make sure to protect the
package from rain during conveying and preserving.
6.4 Do not open the package immediately if not use it for period of time. Open the package and check the product
if the package is mangled.

4. Operating principle
4.1 Mechanical operation principle (fig.4)
Normally the motor drive unit is operated electrically, but it might be operated manually during inspection
or maintenance.
Motor drives big drive wheel 3 via small drive wheel 2, then force will be transmitted to drive shaft 4
through which the tap changer is operated.
Through cog wheel, turning force will be transmitted to gear 101 via cogs on drive shaft 4, which revolves
tap change indication wheel 104 and planet gear 106, then position indication wheel 108 turns and displays
present position. The position transmitter 121 will produce position signal at the different positions.
Operation counter is controlled by indication wheel 104 and acts once after every tap change operation,
operation times will be accumulated and displayed. 4 sections of green field appearing in the inspection
window symbolizes that mechanical-operated cam switch is released. The contactor K3 is short-circuited to
brake motor and finally one tap change operation finishes.
As the motor drive unit runs to limits of end position 1 or N, the position indication wheel 108 continues
to rotate and makes limit block in wheel trough to push end position lever 115, then disconnect electrical
limit switch corresponding to position 1 or N, finally preventing motor drive unit from overrunning position
1 or N, however, in the event of failure of electrical limit switches, the motor will continue to run towards
mechanical limits, in this case, end position lever mechanism will push lock
latch of mechanical clutch of gear mechanism to buckle the clutch, as a
result, manual shaft 8 stops running, realizing a double protection for motor
drive unit by electrical limit switch and mechanical limits.
Operation sequence of limits protection should be followed by
A. Electrical limit switches (S16/S17) of control circuit acts
B. Electrical limit switches (S6/S7) of motor circuit acts
C. Lock latch of mechanical clutch
4.2 Electrical operation principles

4.2.5 Indication circuit of remote position
Digital remote position signal transmitter adopts code-dial sliding contacts which acts in way of break-
before-make from one position to next one, together with position indicator to display position. The fixed
contacts on position transmitter are connected to terminals on socket according to decimal system.
4.2.6 Heating circuit
Heating resistor is permanently connected to power supply L1 and N via terminal X1/4, 5.
4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Control
Motor control is achieved by using step-by-step principle, namely, once one tap change operation starts up,
it will complete automatically and irrevocably regardless of whether the buttons S1-S4 are pressed down
(except emergency stop) or not, next operation has to start from initial position where red mark, centered in
green field on the indication wheel 104, stops at the center of the inspection window.
Essential conditions for operation:
The motor protective switch Q1 must be closed.
Line voltage applied on incoming line should be AC 380V, 3 phases, and phase voltage
applied on L1, N should be 220V, 50 Hz.
Note!
S38 must be in “local” position when S1
or S2 is operated, and also it must be in
“remote” position when any one of S3, S4,
or S9 is operated.
The operation goes towards “N” position.
4.3.1.1 Start-up
Press down button S1, N/O contact S1:13-14
closes and meanwhile S1:21-22 opens, then
current flows through,Q1(13, 14),S8(S,V),
S38(2,1),S2(21,22),S1(13,14),K20(52,51),
S16(C,NC),S6(S,V),
K2 (32, 31) via X1/6, exciting coil of contactor
K1 is energized, which make auxiliary contact
K1 (5, 6) closed, and then coil of K1 realizes
self-locking via N/C contact K20 (72, 71).

4.3.1.3 Stop circuit
N/O contact of K1 (13, 14) close when K1 is energized, which make K3 energized, then the motor starts up,
at the same time K21 (A1, A2) is energized to initiate time delay.
4.3.1.2 Step-by-step control
As the motor begins to run, the green field on the indication wheel 104 will turn out of inspection window,
N/C contact of cam switch S14(C,NO1) close, by which simultaneously energizes the contactor K1(A1,A2).
When the indication wheel turns round one more section, cam switch S13 is actuated to close
S13(NO1,NO2), followed by energizing K20 coil, then K20 (52,51),K20(72,71) open, and K20(14,13),
K20(34,33) close, meanwhile S13 (NO1, NO2) opens and K20 will be still energized and kept closed via
K3(13,!4),K20(34,33).
4.3.1.3 Stop
Cam switch S14 (C, NO1) will open when one tap change operation finishes, K1 is de-energized, and N/
O contact K1 (13, 14) opens, then K3 is also de-energized, thus disconnecting main circuit, finally braking
contacts K3 (21-22, 31- 32, 41-42, 51-52) are closed to stop motor M1 running.
Meanwhile K3 (13,14) is disconnected, causing K20 de-energized, however, if button S1(S2) is pressed
down, K20 will be self-locked through its contact (13-14) or (23-24), which prevent K1 or K2 from being
energized again via K20 (51-52) or K20(61-62), but if S1(S2) is not pressed down, then K20 coil will be de-
energized.

The operation goes towards “1” position. 		 Press push-button S2
Contactor K2 is energized 				 Braking contactor K3 is energized
Motor runs reversely 					 Cam switch S12 is actuated
Subsequent steps will be same as that of operation going towards “N” position.
The sequence of tap change operation from one position to adjacent one (equal to 33 sections on step-by-
step indication wheel 104), operation status of each control element as follows
Closing sequence: S1 (S2), K1 (K2), K3

4.3.2 Passage of positions for middle positions
Showed in appendix 5, the motor drive unit will run uninterruptedly when S37-1 and S37-2 are short-
circuited, thus that motor drive unit requiring passage of positions for middle position can be achieved
by a short-circuited contact point S37 which is acquired by using added contact point in remote position
transmitter.

4.3.3.1 Protection for end position
N/C contact (C-NC) of limit switch S16 ( at position
N ) or of S17 (at position 1) will open when driving
mechanism runs to end position, therefore, contactor K1
or K2 can not be energized any more.
Limit switch S6 (S7) disconnect contacts R-U, T-W of
main circuit when end position is overrun, which makes
motor circuit de-energized and disconnects contactor K1
or K2 circuit via contact (S-V).
4.3.3.2 Protection for manual operation
Insert hand crank into bushing of shaft, microswitch for
manual operation S8 is actuated to disconnect power
supply for motor and control circuit; while taking out
hand crank will close microswitch S8 again, however,
the red mark on the indication wheel 104 must be turned
back into the center of inspection window, that is rest
position of mechanically-actuated cam switches, to avoid
the motor re-start automatically after manual operation.
4.3.3.3 Protection for phase sequence
To ensure the motor run as pre-set direction, there
are some requirements for phase sequence of motor.
If connection of power supply L1,L2,L3 is incorrect,
the motor protective switch Q1 will trip off via phase
sequence protection circuit (refer to fig.5), namely, press down button S1 to energize K1, meanwhile
K1(41,42) opens, however, the motor runs reversely, in addition, the driving mechanism will also run
towards reverse direction accordingly, thus making S12(C,NO2) closed, trip coil of Q1 is energized via S1

4.3.3.3 Protection circuit for
phase sequence
4.3.3.4 Circuit for automatic re-starts after temporary
control voltage break-down
2(C,NO2),K2(41,42),S13(NC1,NC2) and trip off switch Q1, as a result, main circuit and control circuit are
disconnected, and the motor stops running, in this case, interchange any two of lines L1,L2,L3,then operate
the motor drive unit by hand crank to turn the indication wheel 104 untilthe red mark gets to the center of
inspection window again, switch on Q1 and then operate motor drive mechanism again.
Furthermore, if the motor is actuated by cam switches S14/S12 (mechanically-actuated) instead
of S1/S2,Q1 will also be tripped off via S14(C,NO2), K1(41,42),S13(NC1,NC2) or S12 (C,NO2),
K2(41,42),S13(NC1,NC2).
4.3.3.4 Automatic re-starts after temporary control voltage break-down
The control voltage recovers after temporary break-down of power supply when the tap changer is in the
process of tap change operation, the motor can restart and incomplete operation will continue to be finished
by closed directionoriented cam switch S14/S12, under this condition, trip circuit of Q1 will not be actuated
since S13 (NC1, NC2) is already open.
4.3.3.5 Emergency stop
Press down the emergency stop button S5( or S9 in control room), the motor protective switch Q1 will
trip off, Q1 can only be switched on after opening the door of motor drive mechanism, and operate it
electrically.

4.3.3.5 Emergency stop circuit 4.3.3.6 Passage of positions circuit
4.3.3.6 Protection against run-through positions
Delay time of time relay K21 is set at a certain value, if the driving mechanism runs through the positions
continuously when losing control signal, time to energize K21 will exceed set value, causing K21 (6-8)
closed, Q1 will trip power off.
4.4 External connection circuit
Inside the housing are terminal block X1 serving as terminals of power-in end, remote control and signal
indication to realize functions like operation 1→N, N→1 and emergency stop, and also remote indication of
operation state(X1-1,X1-2,X1-3,X1-5 for power-in end).
4.5 Passive contacts for position signal
One rotatable contact arm with two sets of sliding contacts are sandwiched between the position transmitters
in which fixed contacts are built to correspond to that of position indication circuit and to be linked with
terminal block X3 in a sequence of 1→N. Common point connected with sliding contacts is also linked to
X3. The two sets of sliding contacts moves from one position to next one in a way of break-before-make
and keep synchronous in mechanical motion while independent in electrical action. Terminal block X3
provides one set of N/C passive contact for position signal.

Fig. 6 Installation
5. Installation
5.1 Mount motor drive unit onto transformer tank (refer to appendix 1)
The motor drive unit should be mounted on a flat and straight surface or plate of external transformer tank
by four studs, otherwise, it will be easily deformed and will cause difficulty in closing the cover, even affect
normal operation. Please note that the motor drive unit should be mounted vertically and keep its output
shaft aligned with shaft of bevel gear.
5.2 Mounting of drive shaft and bevel gear (fig.6)
NOTE! Vibration damping connector is recommended if sharp mechanical vibration arises.
5.3 Connect tap changer with motor drive unit
Tap change operation must be finished before motor drive unit stops, namely, tap change operation must
finish 2 to 2.5 sections ahead of red mark arriving at the center of inspection window.
One tap change operation corresponds to one revolution of indication wheel 104 and 1 section means 1
rotation by hand crank.
N-1
1-N
500

inlet flange
18
For both direction N→1 and 1→N, number differences of section that the indication wheel turns from the
completion of tap change operation to where red mark get to the center of inspection window should be
basically identical, a slight dissymmetry is permissible.
Connection should be done as follows
a. Adjust it by hand crank;
b. At each adjustment pay attention to that position indication reading of motor drive unit and tap changer
must besame;
c. Position of motor drive unit and tap changer must be at set position;
d. Connect tap changer and motor drive unit;
e. Turn towards one direction until tap change operation completes;
f. Count the number of section that red mark deviates from the center of inspection window;
g. Repeat the said operation in reverse direction;
h. If recorded number of section is different for both directions, re-adjust connection of the motor drive unit
and tap changer as per half of difference of two numbers.
For example (see fig.7)
1) Tap changer stops at position 10, turn towards position 11 using hand crank until diverter switch acts,
record number of section that red mark gets to the center of window, for example it’s 7 ;
2) Tap changer stops at position 11, turn towards position 10 using hand crank until diverter switch acts,
record number of section when red mark gets to the center of window, for example,it`s1.5;
1/2 (7-1.5) = 2.75 sections, choose 3 sections
3) Turn towards position 11 till red mark arrives at the center of window;
4) Uncouple the vertical shaft between motor drive unit and tap changer;
5) Continue to turn 3 sections towards position 12;
6) Connect them again;
7) Re-turn towards position 11 till diverter switch acts, then record the number of section that red mark gets
to the center of window, the number of section is 4.5;
8) Repeat the said operation in reverse direction, the number of section is 4 section;
Finally the number difference of sections for both directions is basically symmetrical, remove the hand
crank, and then motor drive unit should be switched to automatic operation mode.
6. Commissioning
6.1 Operational tests
Before applying power supply on the motor circuit, control circuit and auxiliary circuit, check the voltage,
current and signal output whether they are identical with required values.
6.1.1 Check step-by-step operation
Press down push-button S1 or S2, motor drive unit will stop automatically after one tap change operation.
HM0.460.302

a, b: Count the number of section to the end for both direction separately, 7 sections for 1→N, 1.5 sections for N→1;
c: Turn hand crank towards direction with more sections to end;
d: Unfasten the coupling;
e: Turn hand crank as per calculated sections;
f: Connect the coupling again;
g: Continue to turn to the end and check number of section;
h: Check the reverse direction.
Fig.7 Coupling between motor drive unit and tap changer

6.1.2 Test for mechanical end stop device
Tap changer can move to last position within its tap change range, but can’t approach its limit position,
while motor drive unit can turn to its limit position by manual operation, about 2-3 revolutions before
mechanical end stop is actuated. Turn hand crank reversely to release mechanical end stop device till red
mark gets to the center of window, namely, it’s the last position.
Repeat the said process in another limit position of motor drive unit.
6.1.3 Tests for electrical limit switch
As motor drive unit comes to one end position, further electrical operation can not make motor run towards
same direction, while reverse operation can be done. Repeat the said process to check another electrical
limit switch.
6.2 Transportation of transformer
If the motor drive unit is needed to dismount off transformer due to size when transformer is transported to
commissioning site, tap changer and motor drive unit must be set at adjustment position.
For its re-installation, please refer to item 5
6.3 Put into operation at site
Before putting transformer into operation, operation tests for tap changer should be carried out according to
item 6.
7. Maintenance
Because the transmission gear is a maintenance-free poly-V belt drive and ball bearings of motor are
sufficiently supplied with grease, a regular maintenance is not necessary. It is recommended to inspect
following items regularly:
——Waterproof property of housing
——Performance of resistance heater (heater and thermostat)
When tap changer is maintained, besides inspections for motor drive unit, others inspections regulated in 6.1
also should be carried out.
NOTE!
1) The number of operation position should correspond to that of on-load tap changer.
2) The auxiliary contacts of motor drive unit, motor protective switch are excluded from power
frequency withstand voltage test.

REG-DA operating manual
1 Warnings and Information
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is exclusively designed for implementation in
systems and equipment for electrical energy technology. Only
trained experts are permitted to carry out all required work.
Experts are persons who are familiar with the installation,
mounting, commissioning and operation of these types of
products. Furthermore, experts have qualifications which
correspond with the requirements of their field of work.
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring left the factory in a condition that fulfils all relevant
safety regulations. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe
operation, the following instructions and warnings in this
operating manual must be observed.
❑ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring has been designed to comply with IEC 10110/
EN61010 (DIN VDE 0411), degree of protection I and was
tested according to this standard before delivery.
❑ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring must be earthed via a protective earth
conductor. This condition is fulfilled when the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is connected to
an auxiliary voltage with a protective earth conductor
(European power supply system). If the auxiliary voltage
power supply system does not have a protective earth
conductor, an additional connection must be established
from the protective earth conductor terminal to earth.
❑ The upper limit of the permissible auxiliary voltage UAUX may
not be exceeded, neither permanently nor for a short period
of time.
❑ Before changing the fuse, separate the REG-DA Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring completely from
the auxiliary voltage UAUX.
The use of fuses other than those of the indicated type and
rated current is prohibited.
❑ A REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring which displays visible damage or clear
malfunctioning must not be used and has to be secured
against unintentionally being switched on.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
❑ Maintenance and repair work on a REG-DA Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with an open
door may only be carried out by authorised experts.
Warning signs
Please familiarise yourself with the nominal insulation voltage of
the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring before
connecting the device.
Ensure that the voltages are connected via a disconnecting
mechanism, and that the current path can be short circuited if
there is a device fault to enable problem-free device
replacement.
When wiring, please ensure that the conductors are either
bound short or kept sufficiently short so that they cannot reach
level 2 or 3.
If a fault occurs (connection becomes loose), no line that carries
a voltage that is dangerous when touched (> 50 V) or line to
which a nominal isolation voltage larger than 50 V is assigned,
may come into contact with the circuits in levels 2 and 3.

3 Technical Data
3.1 Basic equipment
Dimensions
Lead sealing Each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can
be locked with a password so that the parameters cannot be
changed.
The REG-DA can also be lead-sealed to show whether it has
been opened by unauthorized persons.
For this purpose, a lead-sealing wire is pulled diagonally
through the bores in the lower right corner of the housing corner
and is secured with a lead-sealing tool.
This measure ensures that the device can only be opened by
breaking the lead seal.

3.5 Pin Assignment
Signals with non-exposed voltages are connected first of all on
level I.
All of the circuits on level I have a nominal insulation voltage of
> 50 V and are therefore considered to be non-exposed in
accordance with VDE 0110 (exception: resistance input,
feature D2/D3).
Please observe this condition even if small voltages are present
at the relay contacts or the binary inputs.

*) The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with
feature M1 provides only one voltage input. One voltage
transformer is sufficient for standard regulating functions.
When carrying out measurements in arbitrarily-loaded three-
phase current systems, the three external-conductor voltages
must be connected to terminals 2, 5 and 8 (Feature M2).
Triple-wound applications function with two separate input
voltages U1 and U2.

3.5.1 Pin assignment level I
3.5.1.1 Auxiliary voltage, current input and voltage input
Terminals 21, 22 and 1 to 10
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is equipped for carrying out measurements in
arbitrarily loaded three-phase current networks. Therefore, up
to three current transformers are available.
Voltage regulation generally only requires a single-phase
connection (one delta or phase voltage and one line current),
because it may be assumed that the network conditions at the
transformer are approximately symmetrical (feature M1).
If a more precise measurement of the outputs (P, Q, S) is
required, it is possible to switch over to the Aron circuit. In this
case, two voltages and two currents must be connected
(feature M2).
The third current input is reserved for special cases, which must
be coordinated before the device is delivered.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Auxiliary voltage (terminals 21 and 22)
The protective earth must be connected first, because the
REG-DA is a device with degree of protection I.
A plug-in shoe (6.3 x 0.8 mm) is provided in the lower part of
the housing for connecting the protective earth.
The auxiliary voltage is supplied via the twin connector block
(terminals 21 and 22).
Two types of power supply units are available:
Therefore, please ensure that the intended supply voltage
corresponds to the auxiliary voltage of the device as stated on
the printed nameplate, before connecting.
Feature H0:
Both direct and alternating voltages may be connected.
Ranges: 88 V ... 220 V ... 280 V DC
85 V ... 110 V ... 264 V AC
Power consumption: < 15 VA
Feature H1:
18 V ... 60 V ... 72 V DC
Power consumption: < 10 W
The auxiliary voltage, and thus the power supply of the device,
is protected by a T2L 250 V microfuse.
The fuse holder can be opened with a screwdriver. The device
is supplied with a spare fuse.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Note
Please note that the fuse catch should never be
screwed on without having a fuse inserted, because
otherwise it is difficult to open the fuse holder.
3.5.1.2 Control voltage
(Terminals 2, 5 and 8, 10)
The control voltage must be connected to the terminals 2 and
5.
Any voltage from the three-phase current network can be used
as the control voltage. The type of voltage (delta or phase
voltage, UL1L2, UL2L3, UL3L1, U1N, U2N, U3N) must be
communicated to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring via the menu (SETUP 5, F2).
The permissible nominal application range of the control voltage
ranges from 60 to 140 V and is expressed in terms of delta
voltage.
If there is a connection between the phase and N, the nominal
application range of 34.6 to 140 V becomes available.
Please note that a single-pole high-resistance earth connection
affects L1 like a voltage dip if only a phase voltage (e.g. L1N) is
available for measuring the actual value of the voltage.
If a phase voltage is used as the control voltage rather than the
recommended delta voltage, you must pay attention to the
behaviour if a single-pole earth fault occurs.
In high-resistance faults, situations may occur where the
voltage appears to be too high or too low.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
generally switches itself into standby mode for low resistance
faults.
Strongly distorted signals may also be connected by means of
a complex filtering of the measurement voltages and the
measurement currents.
If feature M2 is used, voltage UL1 must be connected to terminal
2, voltage UL2 to terminal 5 and voltage UL3 to terminal 8.
i.e.:
UL1 → 2
UL2 → 5
UL3 → 8
32
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Voltage inputs U1 and U2 are both available for triple-wound
applications.
In each case, this is a special version for the triple-wound
application, each of which is described separately.
3.5.1.3 Current inputs
(Terminals 1, 3 and 4, 6 and 7, 9)
A connection to a power supply is not required for normal
regulator operation.
In many cases, however, the voltage must be raised and/or
lowered according to the respective load.
It is necessary to connect the current transformer I1 (1 and 3)
to carry out this additional task.
However, even without current-dependent regulation, we
recommend connecting the current, because this means that
network can be measured and displayed in the measurement
transducer mode.
Ensure that the correct connection (k, l!) is used when
connecting the current transformer.
Two current transformers must be connected for carrying out
measurements in arbitrarily loaded three-phase networks.
The third current can be calculated on the basis of both of the
measured currents. The third current connection (4, 6) is
reserved for special cases, which will be described separately.
The changeover from 1 A to 5 A or vice-versa is accomplished
via the menu. The use of hardware such as a bridge or jumper
is not necessary.
Caution!
Please observe that the line(s) must be short-circuited
before releasing the lines on terminals 1/3, 4/6 and 7/9.

3.5.1.4 Relay outputs
(Terminals 33 ... 59)
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring has 13 relays.
Relay 13 is used as a life contact and monitors the running of
the processor as well as the supply voltages of the system.
Relays 1 ... 12 are available for regulating and controlling the
transformer.
Relays R1, R2 and R12 are permanently assigned to specific
functions, whereas all of the other relays are freely
programmable. The relays are programmed with frequently
used functions when delivered.

3.5.1.5 Binary inputs, feature D0/D1
(Terminals 11 ... 32)
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring has 16 binary inputs.
Only inputs 5 and 6 (Manual/Automatic) are permanently
assigned. All of the other inputs can be programmed freely.
Frequently used input functions are already assigned to some
of the inputs when it is delivered (see table on page 24 to page
26).
3.5.1.6 Binary inputs and resistance inputs
for tap-change potentiometer (D2/D3)
(Terminals 11 ... 26)
Only binary inputs 5 and 6 (Manual/Automatic) are permanently
assigned. All of the other binary inputs can be programmed
freely. Frequently used input functions are already assigned to
some of the inputs when it is delivered (see table on Page 24 to
Page 26).
Feedback of the tap-change position is often sent back to the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as a BCD
code.
The binary inputs are parameterised to correspond with the
number of steps in this case (see "Binary inputs, feature D0/D1"
on page 34, terminals 23 to 32).

4.2 Operating principle
The operation of the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is completely menu-guided and the
principle is the same for each item in the “SETUP” menu.
The following operating principle applies for setting or changing
the regulation parameters:
➪ “MANUAL OPERATING MODE”
changes the operating mode to
manual operation
➪ “MENU” displays the list of operating modes
➪ “MENU” selects the “SETUP” menu item
➪ “MENU” can be used to scroll through the pages of
the “SETUP” menu selection until the required parameter
appears on the display.
➪ Select a parameter via the corresponding function key
(“F1” ... “F5”).
➪ Set the value of the parameter via the function keys.
“F1” increases the value in large steps
“F2” increases the value in small steps
“F4” increases the value in small steps
“F5” decreases the value in large steps
➪ “F3” has a special function in some of the “SETUP”
menus.
➪ After entering a value, the changed value is confirmed by
pressing “RETURN” .
➪ If the entry is protected with a password, enter the
password (see "Password request" on page 95).
➪ Return or leave the “SETUP” menus
“ESC (CANCEL)”
➪ The “SETUP” menus will be automatically exited if no key is
pressed for approx. 15 seconds.
52
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
➪ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring can be switched back to the automatic
operating mode using “AUTO” once the required
parameters are entered, checked and individually
confirmed by pressing the “RETURN” key.
4.3 Selecting the display mode
The display modes of the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can be selected after pressing the
“MENU” key.
The following modes are available:
❑ Regulator Mode
❑ Measurement transducer mode
❑ Recorder mode
❑ Statistics mode (Monitor mode)
❑ ParaGramer mode
Regulator Mode ➪ The “F1” key is used to select the “Regulator
Mode”.
The display indicates the set setpoint
value in V (kV) and as a percentage of
the nominal voltage, the momentary
actual value, the value of the
permissible regulative deviation and the
present tap-changer position of the
tap-changing transformer.
The present deviation of the setpoint is
also indicated on a scale (by an
analogue pointer) with a bandwidth of ± 10%.
➪ The colour of the scale’s pointer changes from transparent
to black if the specified permissible regulative deviation is
overshot or undershot.
53
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
If required, the present value of the current may also be
displayed.
Note
If “Actual Value” is displayed in capital letters, i.e.
“ACTUAL VALUE”, then the “MEASUREMENT VALUE
SIMULATION” is active!
(see Page 146).
Measurement
transducer
mode
➪ The “F2” key is used to select the “Measurement
Transducer Mode”.
When the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
carries out measurements in the Aron circuit (feature M2), a
second measurement transducer screen can be selected to
display the measured values of the three-phase current
networks loaded according to the requirements of the user.
Note
In the measurement transducer mode, only the reactive
current I sinϕ of each transformer will be displayed.
However, it is not possible to determine on the basis of
this display which share of the current pertains to the
load and which pertains to the reactive current.
The second measurement transducer screen can be selected
by pressing either the or key.
54
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
The third transducer screen may be selected by pressing either
the or key.
If the device is switched in parallel, it is advantageous to display
the circulating reactive current as well.
The circulating current Icirc provides information about the
share of the current that is “circulating” in the parallel-switched
transformers and not taken up by the load.
The quasi-analogue scale illustrates the relationship between
the circulating reactive current “Icirc” and the permissible
circulating reactive current “perm. Icirc”.
If the permissible Icirc is 50 A, the circulating reactive current
Icirc is actually -100 A and the value -2 is shown on the scale.
If the circulating current becomes zero, the quotient will also
become zero and the pointer will be positioned in the middle of
the scale.
However, generally speaking, this ideal situation can in practice
only then be reached when the parallel-switched transformers
exhibit the same electrical features.
Recorder mode ➪ The “F3” key is used to select the “Recorder
Mode”.
As standard, every Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring is
equipped with a DEMO recorder
(feature: DEMO in the lower left corner
of the grid).
Above the grid, the set permissible
regulative deviation is displayed by
means of two black arrows. In this
manner, the recorder display is capable
55
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
of supplying all of the information needed for operating the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring (see "LCD
Display Recorder Mode" on page 50).
In addition to the value of the present voltage and the tap-
changer position (in the lower left-hand corner), the display also
indicates the permissible regulative deviation (black arrows
above the grid) and the change of the voltage over a period of
time (past values).
Within the grid, the present voltage is the value which intersects
the lower line of the two parallel border lines at the top of the
grid.
Independent of the selected feedrate speed (F4), the memory
stores values at a constant rate of 1 second.
Each 1 second value is composed of 10 100ms values.
Seven scale divisions are available in total on the display. Thus,
a maximum time range of 7 x 10 minutes (70 minutes) may be
shown on the screen.
The shortest time range with the biggest optical resolution is 7
x 14 seconds (98 seconds).
Apart from the voltage, the recorder can also record the current
and the angle ϕ. The tap-changer position and the setpoint
value with tolerance band are always recorded as well.
In the second recorder menu (F3-F3), the desired mode can be
selected via the menu item “Number of channels” (F4). It is
possible to change modes at any time without loss of data.
Displaying the recorder data
In the first recorder menu (F3), the menu item “Dual Display” (F4)
can be used to switch the recorder display between the one-
channel display of U and the two-channel display. The left
channel is always reserved for the control voltage U. The Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers a selection
of measurement quantities for the second channel (see 2nd
recorder menu).
The time axis is the same for both curves. Only the resolution of
the left channel can be changed using the “dx” (F5 key); the
scale of the second channel remains the same.
56
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Derived variables from the recorder data
In the first recorder menu (F3,F3), the
menu item “MMU display” (F5) can be
used to switch the display of variables
derived from the present cursor value
(at the very top) on and off.
I and S are displayed as numeric values
if only two recorder channels (U + I)
have been selected (second recorder
menu (F3, F3, F4)).
If all three recorder channels (U + I + ϕ) are activated, then I, ϕ,
P and Q will be displayed as numeric values.
It is also possible to search for an event in the second recorder
menu. If both the date and the time of a certain event are
known, a specific day and time can be selected in the “Time
Search” submenu.
After returning to the recorder main menu (by pressing F3 or
Enter), the recorder lists the selected time and displays all of the
electrical measurement values as well as the corresponding
tap-changes.
Statistics mode ➪ The “F4” key is used to select the “Statistics
Mode”.
The total number of tap-changes made
since the counter was last set to zero is
shown on the display. Thus tap-
changes made under load and tap-
changes made with a load of less than
5% of the nominal current In (1 A or 5 A)
are distinguishable.
Changes made under load are
additionally displayed for each tap-
change.
Note
If the tap-changer is working under load (I > 0.05 ⋅ In), a
double arrow >> indicates the present tap-changer
position.
If the load condition is not fulfilled, the present tap-
changer position will be indicated by a single arrow “>”.
In conjunction with the recorder, the statistics mode provides
valuable information regarding the controlled system.
57
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
The parameters “Time factor” and “Permissible regulative
deviation” can be used to reach an optimum between the
voltage stability and the number of tap-changes. However, this
relation cannot be calculated mathematically as it is subject to
the individual conditions at the respective feeding point.
ParaGramer
➪ “F5” selects “ParaGramer mode”.
The ParaGramer is a tool used for
automatically preparing parallel
connections and for the one-line
display of the switching status.
The artificial word ParaGramer is
derived from the terms
parallel and one-line diagram.
The ParaGramer displays the switching
status of the individual transformers in one-line graphics and
can be loaded by pressing the F5 key in the main menu.
The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica
(positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and
bus couplings) into each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring by means of binary inputs.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can
independently recognise which transformer should work in
parallel operation with which other transformer(s) on a busbar.
The system treats busbars connected via bus couplings as one
single busbar.
As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are
working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding on
busbar “b”.
If special crosslinks are needed
between the busbars, we recommend
that you contact the headquarters of
our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co.
KG for assistance, since it is not
possible to describe all the options in
this operating manual.
The “crosslinks” feature is depicted in

5 Commissioning
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is a complex device with many functions.
This variety of functions necessitates a comprehensive
operating manual.
It was considered whether it was better to fill the individual
screenshots with all the theoretical information, or whether it is
better to separate the two parts by summarising the
background information and guiding the reader through the
individual screens.
We finally decided to offer two separate parts with the
corresponding cross-references.
However, in order to make it as easy as possible to start the
parameterisation without constantly having to jump between
two sections, we have inserted a commissioning section which
enables a standard voltage regulation to be carried out step-by-
step.
Thus we based the description on the most important functions
of voltage regulation.
A summary of the limit values with a short explanation and links
to the appropriate chapters can be found on Page 85
Whilst the parameterisation can be implemented using the
WinREG parameterisation program, this chapter only deals with
parameterisation using the device keypad.
The parameters that are particularly important for voltage
regulation will be briefly mentioned in seven steps and the
parameterisation explained.
Further settings that are required in special cases can be found
in chapter 7.
After applying the operating voltage, the
REG-DA will indicate that it is in regulator mode.
Other modes, such as measurement transducer mode,
recorder mode, statistics mode and ParaGramer mode, can be
selected at any time.
64
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Therefore it is important to realise that all modes run parallel to
each other in the background. If one selects the recorder mode
(for example), the regulating tasks and all the other
parameterised task settings will also naturally be processed.
Press MENU and then use the keys
F2 ... F5 to select the desired mode.
The individual operating modes are briefly described below.
In total, six SETUPs are designed for the parameterisation.
You can scroll through the individual SETUPs in the following
manner:
Starting at the main menu (regulator, measurement transducer,
recorder, statistics or ParaGramer), press MENU to enter
SETUP 1.
Repeatedly pressing the MENU key selects SETUP 2 to SETUP
6.
If you are already in one of the SETUPs, you can reach all the
other menus by pressing the ← and → keys.
Caution!
Please observe the “Warnings and Notes” on Page 9
without fail!

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.1 Regulator mode
After the auxiliary voltage is applied, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring indicates that it is in regulator
mode.
The important parameters for assessing a regulation situation
are shown in this display mode.
The tap-changer position and the present regulative deviation
are shown in addition to the actual voltage value. The present
regulative deviation is shown in quasi-analogue form.
If the pointer is at “0” the actual value is the same as the
setpoint value. If the regulative deviation is within the tolerance
range the pointer is transparent. If the regulative deviation is
outside the permissible regulative deviation the pointer changes
to black.
In this way one can judge the present condition of the controlled
system at a glance.
An alternative display with additional information − the compact
display − can be selected using the F1 key.
In addition to the actual value and the tap-changer position, the
setpoint value in V (kV) and % as well as the permissible
regulative deviation in % are shown in this display.
If you prefer the large display, simply press the F1 key again.
66
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.2 Measurement transducer mode
Press MENU and then select the measurement transducer
mode using the F2 key.
Various important measurement quantities are shown in this
mode.
The voltage, current and frequency are independent of the
connection of the measurement quantities, whereas the
outputs can only be displayed correctly when the measurement
sources are correctly entered.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with
feature M1 only gives exact measurement values in equally
loaded 3-phase networks. In this case, the measurement
transducer emanates from a symmetrical loading of all lines,
and measures only one current and one voltage.
For this reason, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring must know the source of the voltages (L1L2, L2L3,
L3L1) and currents (L1, L2, L3) in order to be able to take the
angle between the input quantities into consideration.
If measurements are to be taken in a 3-phase network loaded
according to the requirements of the user, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring must be equipped with
feature M2.
Note
The I x sin ϕ current is particularly important for parallel-
switching transformers.
67
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.3 Recorder mode
The measured line voltage and the tap-changing position are
recorded in Recorder mode.
Each second a measurement value that is the arithmetic
average of 10 100ms measurements is stored in the memory
for the voltage.
The memory capacity is more than 18.7 days, although this
time is only valid when each value measured per second differs
from the value recorded the previous second.
In practice the memory usage is such that at least a month of
data can be saved.
The saved values can either be recalled using the keypad, or
transferred to a PC and analysed there using the WinREG
parameterisation program (e.g. with Excel).
68
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.4 Statistics mode
In statistics mode, tap-changes under load and tap-changes
when idling are differentiated and recorded separately.
The load condition is fulfilled if a current is measured that is 5%
larger than the entered nominal value.
(Example: for In = 1 A → 50 mA; for In = 5 A → 250 mA).
Under load conditions every tap-change is recorded and
displayed.
A double arrow before a particular change indicates that the
transformer is running under load and is on the displayed level.
A single arrow signals that the transformer is idling.
69
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.5 ParaGramer mode
The ParaGramer is a support tool for the automatic preparation
of parallel connections and the online display of the switching
statuses.
The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel
and one-line diagram.
The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual
transformers in one-line graphics and can be loaded by
pressing the F5 key in the main menu.
The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica
(positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and
bus couplings) into each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring by means of binary inputs.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can
independently recognise which transformer should work in
parallel operation with which other transformer(s) on a busbar.
Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as
one single busbar by the system.
As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are
working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding on
busbar “b”.

Note
If the transformer mounting ratio (Knu) of the voltage
transformer is specified in a procedure carried out later,
then the primary voltage appears in kV in the second
row of the setpoint menu.
5.8 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz
There are two limits for setting the regulative deviation.
One limit is determined from the acceptable voltage tolerance
specified by the consumer, the other is defined by the tap-
change increment of the transformer.
The minimum voltage range can be calculated using the
following equation:
Xwz: Permissible regulative deviation
If a regulative deviation Xwz that is smaller than the tap-change
increment of the transformer is selected, the controlled system
can never reach a stable condition; the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will continue to increment in
steps.
Please select SETUP 1, F1.
The permissible regulative deviation can be increased using F1
and F2 and decreased using F4 and F5.
The parameter is confirmed by pressing Enter.
Xwz[%] ≥ 0.6 · tap-change increment[%]
72
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5.9 Time behaviour
The golden rule for multiple feeding points is: a calm network
As a consequence, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should be set up in such a manner that as few
switching operations as possible are carried out.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be
calmed by increasing either the permissible regulative deviation
(Xwz) or the time factor.
However, this course of action has its limits when the interests
of the recipients are violated in an impermissible manner
(voltage deviations are too large or last too long).
The standard defined reaction time tB must be changed when
using the time factor option to influence the number of
regulation events.
The default algorithm dU · t = const. ensures that small regulative
deviations may be present for a long time, before a tap-change
is triggered, whereas large deviations are rectified more quickly.
The time factor has been included as an option to influence the
reaction time tB of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring. The time factor is set to 1 as factory default. The
time tB is multiplied with the time factor and the result is the
reaction time tv of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring.
The value of the time factor must be multiplied with the reaction
time taken from the diagram.
tv = tB · time factor
73
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Example:
Present regulative deviation
Xw = 4%;
Permissible regulative deviation Xwz = 2%
tv = tB · time factor

see SETUP 1, F2, F3)
→ with time factor: 1: 15 sec;
→ with time factor: 2: 30 sec;
Note
In practice, a time factor between 2 and 3 is used.
However, a general recommendation cannot be given,
since the correct time factor is dependent on both the
network and the customer configuration.

The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring offers several time programs.
In addition to the default-selected dU · t = const. integral
method, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring offers a fast integral method, a linear method and a
further method working with a fixed times that can be found
under the name CONST.
If CONST is selected, all regulative deviations that lie outside the
tolerance band and that are smaller than the selected
permissible deviation are rectified within time T1. For larger
regulative deviations, however, the time will be T2.
Example:
The selected permissible regulative deviation is ±1%.
Reaction time T1 is valid in the range from 1% to 2%. The Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out tap-
changes according to the time selected for T2 if the regulative
deviation is larger than 2% (calculated from the setpoint value!).
For further information see Page 255.

5.10 Backward high-speed switching
While the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
operating according to the algorithm dU · t = const., events will
always be regulated such that the next tap-change will be
triggered after a short time for large deviations and after a long
time for small deviations.
Example:
The curve below gives a time of 42 s, the time within which the
fault will be rectified.
High-speed switching can be used to reduce this time.
If, in the above example, the high-speed switching limit were set
to 6%, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
would switch the voltage back to the permissible range of the
voltage tolerance band as soon as this limit is reached and the
selected time delay for high-speed mode has passed.

5.11 Tap-changer running time
If the high-speed switching limit is reached, then the running
time of the tap-changer determines the time required for the
voltage to return to being within the tolerance band.
If the running time of the tap-changer is specified, other control
signals can be prevented from being output when the tap-
changer is running.
Old tap-changing devices in particular may occasionally
respond with an EMERGENCY STOP signal, if a further control
signal is input at the same moment that the tap-changer is
changing to a new position.
The running time of the tap-changer can be entered in menu
Add-On 1.
Please select SETUP 5, F1
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
operating in high-speed switching mode, two seconds will be
added to the entered running time. The Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will not issue a new control
command until this entire running time has elapsed.
Note
This function will be carried out by the (PAN-D) voltage
monitoring unit if the unit is present in the regulating
system.
Extension:
Two further settings in SETUP 5 enable the running time of the
tap-changer to be monitored.
The tap-change in operation lamp (TC) signal can be connected
to one of the freely programmable inputs (E3 in this case).

5.12 Knx transformer mounting ratios and
transformer connection
This point can be skipped if only the secondary transformer
voltage is required for regulation and the transducer functions
of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring are
not required.
In all other cases, the transformer mounting ratios and the
“sources” of both the current and the voltage must be named.
If it is specified via the REG-DA menu that the current
transformer is connected to external connector L3 and that the
voltage to be measured is between L1 and L2, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring corrects the 90°
angle by itself and delivers the correct values for all the outputs
and for the reactive current I · sin ϕ.
Please select SETUP 5, F2, F1
Select the source of the voltage that is to be regulated using F2
or F4 and confirm the selection by using F3 or Enter.
Knu is the quotient of the input voltage and the output voltage
of the voltage transformer and ensures that the primary voltage
is displayed (e.g. 20 kV and not 100V).

5.13 Setting the nominal current
In general it is not necessary to supply the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring with a current to perform
voltage regulation.
If, however, a current-dependent setpoint adjustment is
required or the output data should be displayed, a power
supply must be provided.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can
operate with 1 A and 5 A input signals.

REG-DA operating manual
5.14 Inhibit low limit
Scenario:
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
operates with a 110 kV / 20 kV transformer.
Problems on the high voltage side cause the voltage to break
down slowly.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring rectifies
this and increases the tap-changes of the transformer, to
stabilise the voltage on the secondary side at 20 kV.
As soon as a fault on the primary side is eliminated, the primary
voltage jumps back to the original voltage value.
However, since tap changes in the direction of a higher voltage
were carried out as a result of the voltage breakdown (amongst
other things), the secondary voltage is so high that problems on
the secondary side can no longer be precluded (protective relay
triggered, etc.).
Requirement:
If the voltage that is to be regulated falls beneath a particular
limit due to a fault on the primary or secondary side, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring shouldn’t
undertake further attempts to raise the voltage.
This requirement can only be achieved using the inhibit low
limit.
Please select SETUP 3, F5.
F1, F2 and F4, F5 can be used to enter a percentage value
beneath which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring does not try to rectify a voltage breakdown.
As soon as the voltage increases above the entered value
83
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
again, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
automatically restarts the regulation by itself.
In order to prevent short-term voltage breakdowns triggering
the inhibit low of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring, a time delay after which the inhibit low will be
activated can be entered in SETUP 4, F5 using F1, F2, F4 or F5.
Please select SETUP 4, F5.
Example:
Setpoint value 100 V
If a voltage of < 90 V occurs for a period longer than 10
seconds, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should change to inhibit low.

Time delay input:
SETUP 4, F5 Input: 10 seconds

5.15 Trigger
The trigger limit describes the entered voltage as an absolute
value, above which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring suppresses all control commands.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
automatically starts regulation by itself if the voltage falls
beneath this value (see also Page 242).
Please select SETUP 3, F3
Select the trigger value using the F1, F2 and F4, F5 keys and
confirm the selection using the ENTER key.
Please select SETUP 4, F3

In addition, the “Trigger” signal can also be indicated by the
programmable LEDs (see "LED assignments" on page 145).

5.16 Short description of individual limit values,
setpoint values and permissible regulative
deviation.
5.16.1 Description of the individual settings
Setpoint value:
The value that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should regulate the voltage to.
The setpoint value can be displayed in primary or secondary
values.
Secondary values: e.g. 100V or 110V
Primary values: e.g. 11 kV, 20 kV, 33 kV, 110 kV
The primary values can be displayed by parameterising the
transformer mounting ratio Knu (0.01 ... 4000)
Setting range of the voltage setpoint values: 60 ... 140 V

REG-DA operating manual
Permissible regulative deviation Xwz:
Since the transformer mounting ratio of a tap-change
transformer cannot be continuously changed, there must be a
voltage range surrounding the setpoint that the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring cannot affect.
This range is designated as the permissible tolerance band or
the permissible regulative deviation.
The lower limit of the tolerance band depends on the tap-
changing increments of the transformer.
If the tolerance band is set so that it is smaller than the tap-
changing increment, the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring “hunts” the setpoint value and
repeatedly steps away from the tolerance band in both positive
and negative directions.
If, on the other hand, the entered tolerance band is too large, it
could lead to complaints from consumers because the voltage
fluctuates over a large range.
Setting range: 0,1 ... 10%
The entered percent value always refers to the selected
setpoint value.
Further information: see "Permissible regulative deviation" on
page 109.
Trigger (G1):
“Triggering” describes an upper absolute voltage limit, which
causes the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
to stop carrying out tap-changes.
The limit is described on the display in plain text and if required
it can also activate a relay that either triggers a protective device
or simply delivers the information to the control panel.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
operates in the normal manner if the voltage is below the limit.
The setting range of the trigger is 100 ... 150 V (can only be
entered as a secondary value!).
The voltage is to understood as the output voltage of the
voltage transformer on the secondary side of the transformer
and can only be entered as an absolute value.
87
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Reason: If the “trigger” limit were based on the setpoint value
(for example) and several setpoint values were used, the trigger
limit would “wander” with the setpoint.
If, however, there is a fixed limit for the voltage above which the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is stopped
and a protective element is triggered, it is an absolute value
rather than a relative value.
Further information: see "Trigger inhibit high (highest limit value
of the voltage)" on page 119.
Backward high-speed switching (G2):
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, a particular time
program is activated. The time program defines the amount of
time that must elapse before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs the first (and possibly further)
control commands.
All time programs are based on the assumption that large
voltage deviations are rectified quickly and small deviations are
rectified slowly.
The backward high-speed switching limit defines the voltage
above which the time program is ignored and the transformer
is regulated back to the voltage band in high-speed time by the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The
voltage band is defined by the “permissible regulative deviation”
parameter.
The high-speed time is defined by the running time of the
transformer per switching process.
If a tap-change in operation lamp is connected, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring waits until the lamp
has turned off before the next tap-change occurs. If there is no
tap-change in operation lamp connected, the switching
frequency is determined by the maximum time TC in operation
parameter (SETUP 5, F1, F2).
Setting range: 0 ... +35% *
Further information: see "High-speed switching when
overvoltage occurs (LOWER)" on page 120.
88
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Forward high-speed switching (G3):
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, a particular time
program is activated. The time program defines the amount of
time that must elapse before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs the first (and possibly further)
control commands.
All time programs are based on the assumption that large
voltage deviations are rectified quickly and small deviations are
rectified slowly.
The forward high-speed switching limit defines the voltage
above which the time program is ignored and the transformer
is regulated back to the voltage band in high-speed time by the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The
voltage band is defined by the “permissible regulative deviation”
parameter.
The high-speed time is defined by the running time of the
transformer per switching process.
If a tap-change in operation lamp is connected, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring waits until the lamp
has turned off before the next tap-change occurs. If there is no
tap-change in operation lamp connected, the switching
frequency is determined by the maximum time TC in operation
parameter (SETUP 5, F1, F2).
Setting range: -35% ... 0% *
Further information: see "High-speed switching when
undervoltage occurs (RAISE)" on page 120.
Overvoltage >U (G4):
The overvoltage >U is a limit value that only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances, and that can be
parameterised if required using an LED or an output relay.
If the voltage exceeds the >U limit then all “raise” commands
are surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation if operating
with several setpoints and using an absolute value (100 V / 110
V) as the limit value for >U.
Setting range: 0 ... +25% *
89
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Further information: see "> U Overvoltage" on page 118.
Undervoltage <U (G6):
The undervoltage <U is a limit value that only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances, and that can be
parameterised if required using an LED or an output relay.
If the voltage falls below the <U limit, all “lower” commands are
surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation if operating
with several setpoints and using an absolute value (100 V / 110
V) as the limit value for <U.
Setting range: -25% ... 0% *
Further information: see "< U Undervoltage" on page 117.
Inhibit low (G8):
If the voltage falls below the undervoltage inhibit low limit, the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring switches to
a standstill.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
operates in the normal manner as long as the voltage is above
the limit.
Setting range: -75% ... 0% *
Further information: see "REG-DA inhibit low when
undervoltage occurs" on page 121.
* The percent values relate to the appropriate setpoint value,
100 V or 110 V.

6.2 RS-232 interfaces
6.2.1 COM 1
The COM 1 interface can be used as a parameterisation /
programming interface via a SUB-D plug on the front of the
device.
The standard setting is “ECL”.
This mode enables WinREG to access the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring. Furthermore, time
synchronisation can be carried out via DCF77 (with “DCF77”
setting and connection of a suitable antenna).
A profibus module can be addressed in “PROFI” mode and
information from the E-LAN system bus is directed to COM 1
using the LAN-L or LAN-R setting.

For more information, please also refer to COM 2 from Page 99
onwards.
Õ
Õ
99
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
6.2.2 COM 2
COM 2 is also suitable for the control system connection of a
REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring.
If the REG-DA is connected to other devices (RED-D, REG-DP,
REG-DPA, EOR-D, PQI-D, CPR-D, etc.) via E-LAN, it is
possible to communicate with several devices via a single
interface.
This possibility is not available for all profiles, therefore we
advise you to contact our company headquarters.
If the COM 2 interface is used for permanent connections to
higher-level systems, the COM 1 interface remains available for
connecting a PC, printer or modem.
An (integrated) protocol card (see feature list XW90, XW91 or
L1, L9) is also required for communication with a control
system.
The data exchange between the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and the protocol interface is carried out
via the COM 2 interface.
The integrated protocol card converts the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring information to the standard-
compliant language according to IEC 61870-5-101, -103, -
104, IEC 61850, MODBUS, SPABUS, PROFI.BUS, DNP 3.0,
LON. Similarly, it translates the information from the control
system into a “dialect” that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can understand.
Õ
Õ
100
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
The standard mode is the “MODE ECL”. The selection of the
DCF77 setting and the connection of a suitable aerial should
only be carried out if the time is to be synchronised via DCF77.
If the information of the E-LANs (LAN-L, LAN-R) is to be routed
to the serial interface, for example to achieve modem
transmissions on the “E-LAN level”, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring must be set to LAN-L or
LAN-R. A more detailed description has been omitted here
since these types of connections should always be carried out
with the support of our company.
“PROFI” is always the right setting for the COM, if a PROFIBUS-
DP connection should be implemented.
In this case, an external PROFIBUS-DP module is controlled via
COM 1 or COM 2.
The setting ECL+HP enables output which is generated via a
background program to also be output via COM 2.
Example:
Based on the regulated voltage or the tap-changer position, a
specific text is to be output via COM 2. In this case, ECL+HP is
to be selected, since all output which is generated via a
background program is normally output via COM 1.

6.3 E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)
For background information on the “E-LAN”, please see Page
267 and 32.
Every Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
two complete E-LAN interfaces.
E-LAN LEFT defines the settings for bus left
(Connection level III, Terminals 69, 70, 71 and 72 see Page 42).
E-LAN RIGHT defines the settings for bus right
(Connection level III, Terminals 73, 74, 75 and 76 see Page 42).
Each one of these E-LAN interfaces also functions with either a
2-wire line or 4-wire transmission technology (RS485).
A 2-wire line is normally used, because this is the only system
that allows one bus configuration with several stations on the
same bus line. To do so, the integrated terminating resistor of
the first and the last stations on the bus line must be switched
on. (Selection: „terminated”)

If the terminating resistances are not installed (terminated)
properly, reflections may occur at the ends of the lines which
make it impossible to transfer the data securely.
4-wire transmission technology must be used for long
transmission distances or if boosters (amplifiers for increasing
the signal level over very long transmission distances must be
used). The required terminating resistances will be
automatically activated (the selection “terminated” is no
longer required).

REG-DA operating manual
If the terminating resistors are installed properly (only possible
in 2-wire operation), the baud rates are set properly and the
wirings are carried out in the correct way, a cross “ ” should
appear in the square brackets of the two devices that are
connected together.
The cross “ ” indicates that the corresponding neighbouring
station has been detected.
If the connection is not successful, the devices react with a
flashing cross “ ”.
This might be caused by:
1. Wiring fault, open or wrong wiring
2. Identical station codes (each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring must be assigned a unique
address)
3. The baud rates of the Relays for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring that are connected to each other
are not the same
Example:
The E-LAN right bus terminal of Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring <A> is connected with the E-LAN left
bus terminal of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring <B>.
The baud rate of the E-LAN right of Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring <A> must have the same baud rate as
the E-LAN left of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring <B>.
104
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
4. Wrong termination
Only the first and the last device of a bus segment may be
terminated (please also refer to Page 267).
Termination is not required for a four-wire connection.
The first and last terminals only have to be terminated in a two-
wire bus connection.
6.4 PAN-D voltage monitoring unit
The PAN-D monitoring unit is not equipped for entering the
parameters via the screen and keypad.
If a PAN-D monitoring unit is used in connection with a REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring connected
via E-LAN, the monitoring unit “borrows” the keypad and the
screen from the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring for parameterising and displaying values.
Use the F4 key to start this process.
6.5 Status
(current ID data of the REG-DA Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring)
The menu item “Status” lists all of the information which is
important for the system identification.
The current input status of both input circuits is displayed as a
hexadecimal number in the REG-DA status (1) in addition to the
firmware version and the battery status, etc..
This information is particularly useful for commissioning. The
hexadecimal numbers should be interpreted as follows:

The U-LL voltage always corresponds to the phase-to-phase
voltage (delta voltage).
Example:
The setpoint should be 100.2 V. This value should be
simultaneously declared as the 100% value.
How to proceed: Using the keys F1, F2, F3 and F4
set the double-underlined value to
100.2 V.
Use the F3 key to set the 100.2 V
value
as the 100% value

7.3.2 Further setpoint values
Proceed in the same way for the 3rd and 4th setpoint values.
When switching from one setpoint value to another via a binary
input, background program or control system, tap-changing
commands will also be output at the same time until the voltage
lies within the tolerance band around the new setpoint value.
The time interval between two successive tap-changes is
determined by the maximum time TC in operation (SETUP 5,
Add-On 1).
If the regulation is carried out using the PAN-D monitoring unit,
the maximum time TC in operation must always be set directly
on the PAN-D when both units (REG-DA, PAN-D) are
connected via E-LAN.
Note
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring can regulate outputs (P or Q) as well as
voltages. This situation will always occur if a phase-shift

For this reason the PQCTRL feature must be loaded.

7.14 Add-Ons (Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring behaviour)
The various parameterisations are summarised under the “Add-
Ons” menu item.
This menu item contains parameters that cannot be assigned
to other parameter groups. Furthermore, it contains some
parameters that could be assigned to particular parameter
groups, but which were not included where one might expect
to find them out of consideration of the existing SETUP
structure.
Therefore “Add-Ons” is a collection of parameters and special
functions that are often used for special customer
requirements.
In any cases, we recommend having an overview of the
individual screens.
7.14.1 Overview of the Add-Ons menus numbers 1 to 6
“Add-Ons” contains six sub-menus (Add-On 1 to Add-On 6)
that can be selected using the F1 key.

REG-DA operating manual
All the menu points are described sequentially below.
The description beings with Add-On 1 and ends with Add-On 6.
7.14.2 Maximum time TC in operation (motor-drive-in
operation-time)
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be
used to monitor the running time of the motor drive (tap-
changer). If the set maximum time has run out, a signal will be
triggered. This signal can be used to switch off the motor drive.
This protects the tap-changer against passing through all
cycles.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is used, the maximum time
of the tap-changer in operation can only be set via the PAN-D
voltage monitoring unit (refer to the PAN-D operating manual).
To do this, first enter the maximum running time of the tap-
changer per tap in “Add-On 1”. The maximum time TC in
operation signal can then be assigned to an input (refer to input
assignments (binary inputs) on see "Input assignments (binary
inputs)" on page 142). Finally, the message “tap-changer
interrupted” can be output via a relay output (refer to see "Relay
assignments" on page 143).
There are two ways to parameterise the relay:
1. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F” outputs a
continuous message when the specified maximum time is
exceeded.
2. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F+” outputs a
temporary message when the specified maximum time is
exceeded.
Note
Measure the running time of the tap-changer and enter
a value for the maximum time of tap-changer in
operation that is two to three seconds bigger.

7.14.3 Manual/Automatic
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers
two different options for switching between the Manual and
AUTOMATIC operating modes.
In addition to the options already described above, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can also naturally be
switched using the serial COM interfaces or the IEC-, DNP-...
protocols.
If you wish to use a serial connection, it is always advisable to
contact our headquarters.
Flip/Flop switching behaviour
In the “E5: PULSE“ setting, a pulse at input E5 causes a
changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”. A further pulse
at this input causes it to change back from “AUTOMATIC” to
“MANUAL”, i.e. each pulse changes the operating mode.
Bistable Switching Behaviour
In the “E5-A/E6-H” setting, a pulse or continuous signal to
input E5 causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to
“AUTOMATIC”. Further signals to this input do not change the
operating mode, i.e. the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring remains in the “AUTOMATIC”
operating mode.
The changeover from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL” is carried
out via a pulse or a continuous signal to input E6. Further
signals to this input do not change the operating mode, i.e. the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring remains in
the “MANUAL” operating mode.

OFF
“OFF” is selected if no signals are available for displaying the
tap-changer position.
Two dashes “--” appear on the display in regulator mode.
ON
If BCD-coded signals are available for displaying the tap-
changer position, please select the “ON” position.
In the regulator mode, the display shows the tap-changer
position.
Note
If an error occurs (BCD signals are present and the tap-
changer parameter is set to “ON”), please check the
connections and the selected “input assignment”.
If the software switch for the tap-changes is set to “ON”, yet
there is no tap-change information available, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring displays tap-change
0. Such a display could cause operating personnel to come to
wrong conclusions.
Please also observe that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring automatically checks the correctness
of the tap-changer position.
However, the tap-changer must be turned on.
The error message “TapErr” is displayed to indicate incorrect
tap-changer settings.
TapErr is activated if an illogical tap-change is signalled.
TapErr is only intended to be informative, since the correct
display of tap-changes is not essential for the regulation of
individual transformers.

If the TapErr signal is assigned to a relay which has set the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to the

7.14.5 Self-conduction of the operating mode
WITH
WITH” stores the operating mode of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring in the event that the auxiliary
voltage fails. This means that after the voltage returns, the Relay

before the voltage failure and will be reset to “MANUAL” if it was
previously in “MANUAL” operating mode.
WITHOUT

„PULSE” switches the activation ON and OFF.
The type of parallel program activation described in this section
is the simplest type of activation. However, this can often not
meet the requirements of actual use. For this reason, we
request that you primarily refer to the information in Chapter 9.
7.14.11 Up/down relay on time
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
outputs a tap-changing signal, the standard switch-on time of
the tap-changing pulse is 2s.
Older motor drives in particular often need a longer switch-on
time in order to accept the signal.
This menu item can be used to set the switch-on time for higher

Control & Transformer Monitoring changes from “AUTOMATIC”
to “MANUAL”. However, the automatic changeover only takes
place when the “AUTO lock when E-LAN fault occurs”
is active.
Furthermore the “AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs”
function ensures that it is only possible to change back to
“AUTOMATIC” when the fault has been rectified or when the
“AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs” is switched from ON to OFF.

The setpoint value is normally entered via the menu.
If the setpoint value has to be changed for operational reasons,
it is possible to increase or decrease it using the left

The external-conductor voltage and the current to be used for
the measurement can be specified in this menu.
Furthermore, the transformer mounting ratio of the external
voltage transformer and current transformer and the nominal
value of the current can also be chosen.
Since the connection point of a Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can generally be considered to be
equally loaded, all power values of the network can be
calculated using just one voltage and one current value.
Prerequisite: information specifying the external conductors
between which the voltage is measured and in which conductor
the current is measured is provided to the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring.
7.15.1 Transformer mounting voltage (measurement voltage)
It is not necessary to assign the voltage and current
connections to a certain position in the network (for example,
U12 and L3, etc.) in order to be able to use the REG-DA Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will always measure
the correct angle relationship regardless of between which
external conductors the voltage is measured, and regardless of
the line in which the current is measured, so long as the actual
connection is transmitted to SETUP 5, transformer mounting.
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
connected to an asymmetrically loaded network and correct
measurement values are still needed for both the active and the
reactive power, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring may also be operated in the Aron circuit (feature
M2).

1 Start WinREG
2 Load the terminal.
3 After pressing Enter, the device will respond by giving the
respective address, e.g. <A>.
4 In step 4 you can choose between the following options:
a) Feature simmode=1
(enter it like this using the terminal!)
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5.
In this mode, the simulator can only operate in the
MANUAL operating mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC switches off the
simulator.
b) Feature simmode=2
(enter it like this using the terminal!)
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5.
In this mode, the simulator can also operate in the
AUTOMATIC operating mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC does not switch
off the simulator, but it does automatically change back 15
minutes after the keyboard was last used.
c) Feature simmode=0
(enter it like this using the terminal!)
switches off the simulator.
The simulator can no longer be switched on in SETUP 6,
F5.
The simulator mode (simmode=1) is activated as factory
default, which only permits simulator operation in the MANUAL
operating mode (simmode=1).

9 Parallel Operation of Transformers
with REG-DA
Parallel switching of several transformers must be prepared in
advance. In general, the taps of the transformers regulated in
parallel must first be adjusted to each other and the circuit
breakers and disconnectors have to be put in the
corresponding position. Then, all of the Relays switched in
parallel must be informed of these switching statuses.
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is provided with a program section which is capable
of independently recognizing the switching statuses of the
individual transformers and can automatically group the
transformers according to these switching statuses so that only
those Relays feeding on one joint busbar work in parallel.
It is, of course, also possible to work in the standard way in
which the parallel-switching operation is manually activated.
Both procedures require specific preparations to be carried out
on the device in advance. The preparations to be carried out are
described in the following sections:
➪ Preparing manual activation
➪ Preparing automatic activation
Before selecting the regulation procedure, please check the
boundary conditions of the regulation.
Are the transformers the same or differing models? Is it
possible to connect the individual Relays with each other via
E-LAN, or is the distance between each feeding point too
large making connection impossible?
Should the transformers be regulated so that they all have
the same tap-changer position or should the circulating
reactive current be minimised?
One of the regulation procedures listed below can be chosen
depending on the answer:
151
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
All the procedures are available in the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring as standard.
Master-slave
Master-Slave-Independent (MSI)
∆I sinϕ (minimisation of the circulating reactive current)
∆I sinϕ (S) (minimisation of the circulating reactive current,
taking into consideration the nominal powers of the
transformers)
∆cosϕ
The ∆ cosϕ operation is an available regulation procedure
which is always used if the Relays which are switched in parallel
cannot be connected to each other via the bus (E-LAN).
If a bus error occurs during parallel operation according to the
circulating reactive current minimisation procedure (∆I sin ϕ or
∆I sin ϕ (S)), the complete combination switches to an
emergency regulation which also works according to the ∆cos
ϕ procedure.
If a malfunction occurs, each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring uses the last measured cos ϕ and
attempts to both maintain the voltage within the specified
voltage band and to approach the last measured cosϕ as
closely as possible.

9.2.1 Preparation
The following description defines both the preparations to be
carried out for manual activation as well as those necessary for
automatic activation of parallel switching.
For demonstrating each individual operating step, a system has
been selected which consists of three transformers feeding on
one busbar.
The master-slave procedure has been chosen as the parallel
program.
If another program with a different number of transformers is
selected, please adapt each operating step correspondingly.
In order to permit the master to check at any time whether the
slaves are working correctly, it is necessary that each Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is supplied with the
tap-change position of “its” transformer and that the bus
connection (E-LAN) is activated between all the Relays.
155
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
9.2.1.1 Explanation of terminology
Preparing manual activation
“Preparing manual activation” refers to the sequence of
consecutive switching operations which prepare for the parallel
operation of several transformers (adjusting the tap-change
position, adding circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings)
as well as the actual manual activation of the parallel regulation.
In this case parallel regulation can be activated via the menu
(SETUP 5, Add-On 6) or via a binary input signal.
Preparing for automatic activation
“Preparing automatic activation” refers to the simultaneous and
automatic activation of the parallel operation of several
transformers as a function of the logical position (off/on) of all of
the circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings.
This type of preparation can be carried out by feeding a busbar
replica (positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties
and bus couplings) to each one of the Relays involved in the
regulation.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the regulation system
can automatically recognise which transformer is supposed to
work with which other transformer(s) on one busbar in parallel
operation.
The transformers are then regulated according to the selected
regulating procedure.
156
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
9.2.2 Preparing manual activation
The following steps are required to set up the parallel-switching
of 3 transformers according to the master-slave procedure.
If two transformers or even four transformers are required,
please adapt the procedure correspondingly.
Note
In this chapter parameterisation will be carried out using
the membrane keypad of the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring.
Of course, the individual operation steps may also be
performed using the WinREG parameterisation
software.
1. Step
Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode.
2. Step
Assign station identification.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code (address)
<A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
assigned to transformer 2 is given the station code (address)
<B>, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code
<C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
A to Z4
157
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
This address may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or
decremented using the F4 and F5 keys.
Confirm your selection using <Enter>.
Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each
station code may only be assigned once.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically
assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.
Example:
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to the PAN-D. If the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the
code <B9>, it will assign the code <C> to the PAN-D.
3. Step
Establish the connection to the bus.
To start the parallel operation, all participating Relays must be
able to communicate with each other via E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)
is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure.
Once the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled, the bus link must
be parameterised [see "E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)"
on page 101].
158
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
4. Step
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation
procedure.
This setting is only required for the master − which usually has
the address <A> − because all of the other stations will
automatically be declared as slaves when the group list is input
(see Step 5).
Slaves are to be assigned the parallel program “none''.
Õ
Õ
159
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5. Step
Input the group list
The codes of all of the Relays participating in the parallel
operation are listed in the group list.
Select SETUP 1, F5, F1, F5
Please press F1, F2 and F3 to parameterise the Relays in the
first, second and third positions with the codes <A>, <B> and
<C> respectively.
If the group list can be entered in the manner described, then
as a rule it can generally be guaranteed that the bus link will
work properly.
It is not necessary to input a regulative influence for the selected
procedure.
6. Step
Parallel switching activation
There are several different ways to activate the parallel-
switching operation:
➪ Activation via the keypad
➪ Activation via the binary input (level-controlled)
➪ Activation via binary input (pulse-controlled)
➪ Activation via IEC ..., RS 232, ...
160
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Activation via the keypad
Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6
Pressing down the F2 function key activates the parallel-
switching operation.
Select “ON”.
Parallel operation is active in the automatic mode as long as the
“Parallel Progr. Activation” is “ON”.
If you prefer to activate the parallel-switching operation via a
binary input instead of via the menu, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring offers two options:
The parallel operation can be activated by via a level-controlled
or a pulse-controlled input.
“Level-controlled activation” means that the parallel-switching
operation is activated as long as the potential is at the selected
input. It will be switched off as soon as the potential at the
selected input drops off.
In “pulse-controlled” activation, the parallel operation is
switched on by the first pulse. The next pulse switches it off and
so on.
If the parallel-switching operation is to be deactivated using a
binary input, please carry out the following procedure:
Select the trigger input.
All freely programmable inputs with the exception of E5 and E6
may be used as the trigger or release input.
Õ
Õ
161
REG-DA

The following example demonstrates how to activate the
parallel-switching operation via input E7.
Select SETUP 5, F3, F1
Press the F4 key and select the “Par Prog” function in the
framed field in the middle of the display.
Accept the setting by pressing <Enter>.
The parallel-switching operation can now be activated via
binary input E7.
For an optical signal that the parallel-switching operation has
been activated, please select SETUP5, F5.
In the following example, the status “operating in parallel
activated” is to be indicated using the freely programmable LED
4.

162
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Press the F5 key and select the “Par Prog” function in the
framed field in the middle of the display.
Accept the setting for LED 4 by pressing <Enter>.
If the present status of the parallel switching operation (ON/
OFF) is to be fed back to the potential-free contact, please
select a free relay (R3 to R11) using the F4 key in the SETUP 5
menu and also assign the Par Prog parameter to this relay.
If the parallel operation is to be activated or deactivated in a
level-controlled or pulse-controlled manner, please select the
preferred activation method (level or pulse) in SETUP 5, F1,
Add-On 6 using the F2 key.
7. Step
Switch the circuit breakers, bus ties, bus couplings and
disconnectors according to the planned parallel-switching
operation.
8. Step
Switch all of the Relays to the AUTO mode.
The master first sets all of the slaves to its actual tap-changer
position in order to start the voltage regulation.
In normal operation, the voltage is held within the permissible
regulative deviation (bandwidth) and all transformers involved
are regulated to the same tap-changer position.

9.2.3 Preparing automatic activation
The ParaGramer can be loaded from the start menu as a tool
for preparing the automatic activation and for displaying the
switching status in real time.
The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel
and one-line diagram.
The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual
transformers in a one-line diagram and can be loaded from the
start menu using the F5 key, provided that the ParaGramer
feature has been activated.
Normally up to six transformers can be operated using the
ParaGramer.
In a special version, however, up to 10 transformers can be
connected.
The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica
(circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) of
“its” transformer into each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring.
The regulation system can automatically recognise which
transformer is to work with which other transformer(s) on a
busbar in parallel operation on the basis of the switching
statuses.
Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as
one single busbar by the system.
The standard ParaGramer version can display the following
configurations:
➪ 2 transformers with one busbar
(1 circuit breaker (LS) per transformer)
Note
= Switching element
= Switching element
open
closed
LS
164
REG-DA

165
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Busbars “1” and “2” can additionally be disconnected or
coupled by means of line coupler (SC) or bar coupler (CP).
The logical status of the couplings may also be fed to the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring and is included in
the assignment algorithm (who with whom?).
The following abbreviations have been selected to clearly
characterise each individual switch, disconnector, etc.:
The prefix PG stands for ParaGramer. All of the other abbreviated
terms are listed below:
❑ PG_CB:
Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding
transformer
❑ PG_IS1:
Isolator 1 return signal of the corresponding transformer to
busbar 1 (the left isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_IS2:
Isolator 2 return signal of the corresponding transformer to
busbar 2 (the right isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_CP:
Bus coupling return signal of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_SC1:
Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding
transformer in busbar 1
❑ PG_SC2:
Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding
transformer in busbar 2
CP SC
166
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
1. Step
Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode.
2. Step
Assign station identification.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code (address)
<A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
assigned to transformer 2 is given the station code (address)
<B>, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code
<C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
This address may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or
decremented using the F4 and F5 keys.
Confirm your selection using <Enter>.
Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each
station code may only be assigned once.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically
assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.
A to Z4
167
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Example:
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to the PAN-D. If the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the
code <B5>, it will assign the code <B6> to the PAN-D.
3. Step
Establish the connection to the bus.
To start the parallel operation, all parallel-operating Relays must
be able to communicate with each other via E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)
is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure.
The bus link must be parameterised [see "E-LAN (Energy-Local
Area Network)" on page 101] once the hardware prerequisites
are fulfilled.
4. Step
Activate the ParaGramer.
Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6, F5 and activate the
ParaGramer by selecting the number of transformers operating
in parallel.
For three parallel-operating transformers select: ON-3
168
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
5. Step
Parameterisation of the group list.
The number of participating parallel-operating transformers
(n=3) is specified by inputting the group list.
The group list is numbered consecutively and each Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be
parameterised in the same order. The Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring of the first transformer must be first in
the group list, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring of the second transformer second in the group list,
etc. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring ID
may be freely selected as described above. For clarity,
however, the first Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should be assigned code A:, Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring 2 code B:, etc.
The group list also specifies the number of transformers shown
in the ParaGramer mode (2 positions in the group list occupied
=> 2 transformers, 3 positions occupied => 3 transformers,
etc.).
The group list also indicates which Relays are presently working
together:
Three symbols (+,*,=), which appear before the group list entry
have been introduced to characterise the parallel-operating
transformers. Relays with the same symbol are presently
feeding on one busbar.
The following procedure should be carried out for each Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring:
Setup 1
<F5> “Programs”
<F1> “Par. Parameters”
<F5> “E-LAN group list”, => Enter the stations
169

6. Step
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation
procedure.
This setting is only required for the master - usually with the
address <A>, because all of the other participants will
automatically be declared as followers when the group list is
input.
Slaves should be assigned the parallel program “none''.
7. Step
Input assignments
The individual programmable binary Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring inputs are prepared for their respective
tasks in this step.

REG-DA operating manual
If, for instance, the disconnector PG_TR1 of transformer 1 is to
be assigned to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring input E8, the function PG_TR1 must be assigned to
input E 8 using menu SETUP 5, F3 “Input assignments...” and
the function keys.
This same procedure applies for all of the other inputs as well.
Depending on the input assignment, the display can show one
or two busbars.
The following input functions are available:
❑ PG_CB:
Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding
transformer
❑ PG_IS1:
Isolator 1 return signal of the corresponding transformer to
busbar 1 (the left isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_IS2:
Isolator 2 return signal of the corresponding transformer to
busbar 2 (the right isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_CP:
Bus coupling return signal of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_SC1:
Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding
transformer in busbar 1
❑ PG_SC2:
Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding
transformer in busbar 2
Note
A solution is also available for applications in which the
busbars are coupled crosswise.
The “crosslink” feature makes it easy to master this task.
This type of busbar arrangement is not described here
since it is not used very frequently. If it is required,
please contact our headquarters. This option is already
available on your Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and can be activated at any
time using the Firmware feature.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Inputs which are not in use are assigned a default setting. This
makes it possible to also display system diagrams which do not
correspond to the maximum possible configuration with one
circuit breaker, two disconnectors, one bus coupling and two
bus ties per transformer.
Summary of the default settings:
❑ 1 busbar:
PG_CB: open
PG_IS1: closed, however not displayed in the
ParaGramer
❑ 2 busbars:
PG_CB: closed
PG_IS1: open
PG_IS2: open
PG_CP: open
PG_SC1: closed
PG_SC2: closed
The displays to be shown are changed according to the criteria
listed below:
➪ If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring in
the third position in the group list is assigned a freely
selected PG_xxx parameter, three transformers will be
displayed in a circuit diagram instead of two.
➪ If PG_IS2 is used on a Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring entered in the group, two busbars
will be displayed in a circuit diagram instead of one.
➪ If either PG_CP, PG_SC1 or PG_SC2 is used on a Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring entered in the
group, the bus ties and bus couplings will be activated in
the display.

9. Step
Switch all of the relays to the AUTO operating mode.
The parallel operation is activated automatically.
Various checks are included in order to ensure that the
regulation works safely in all circumstances
This means that the bus connection is also always monitored
as well as the tap-change positon of the transformers operating
in parallel.
If, for example, a tap-change position is reported that is not
logical (TapErr) or a Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring in the system cannot be addressed (ParErr), the
regulation is stopped immediately and the corresponding error
flag is set.
For information about TapErr and ParErr see "Description of the
ParErr and TapErr error flags" on page 184.
173
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
9.3 Parallel operation using the “Master-Slave-
Independent (MSI)” procedure
(available as of Version 2.03 from the 16th July 2004)
Note
All of the control technology information about TapErr
and ParErr also applies to the master-slave operation
carried out according to any activation procedure.
MSI stands for Master (M), Slave (S) and Independent (I)
operation of individual transformers.
In this operating mode, all of the participating parallel-switching
transformers are placed by the operator in one of the states
described above. Transformers then always work according to
the principle of equalising the tap-changer positions, which is
also called the master-slave procedure.
Note
The terms master-follower and master-slave are used
synonymously is everyday language and that is also the
case in the following text.
Please note:
➪ In the MSI mode, it is only possible to change the operating
mode (MSI) of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring when in the manual mode.
➪ When the transformers are already operating in parallel, it is
possible to switch from the AUTO mode to the MANUAL
mode by switching any Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring to the MANUAL mode.
This therefore ensures that the entire group can quickly be
switched to the manual mode in the event of a fault.
➪ In the Auto mode, the group can only then be switched if the
master is switched to the AUTO mode; the slaves will not
accept being switched from MANUAL to AUTO.
➪ In the independent mode, on the other hand, each Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be switched
back and forth from MANUAL to AUTO at any time.
➪ The status line of the ParaGramer display indicates which
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
currently functioning as the master.
174
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
It is also possible to indicate the operating status using an LED.
If the parameter MSI-Ma is assigned to a particular LED, it lights
up when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is operating in master mode. The same procedure
can also be carried out for slave operation (parameter = MSI_Sl)
or independent operation (parameter = MSI_Ind).
The parameterisation is also displayed in the ParaGramer and
the individual transformers are designated by the letters M, S
and I.
All of the transformers/relays working as either a master or a
slave are displayed with a closed coupling. On the other hand,
relays working in the independent mode (currently feeding on a
different busbar or in the stand-by mode) are displayed with an
open coupling.
If more than one Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring has been mistakenly assigned to the master mode,
the MSI algorithm will treat the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring with the lowest address (A is lower than
B or C!) as the “master” and will treat all of the other relays
mistakenly defined as being masters as slaves.
The ParaGramer display will also show the present status of the
parallel operation in the status line in the form of the measured
voltage, the calculated regulative deviation and the tap-changer
position in addition to the “Who with whom?” information.
This makes it possible to obtain all of the information needed to
evaluate the parallel operation.
175
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Prerequisite for using the MSI operation
The MSI operating mode can only be applied when the
ParaGramer feature is activated and turned on.
Relays which are delivered with the K1 feature (with parallel
operation) are already parameterised in this way by default.
The ParaGramer is switched on by selecting SETUP 5, Add-On
6.
Press F5 to specify the number of transformers to be switched
in parallel.
Note
At this point it is important to state explicitly that the
ParaGramer has a different function in MSI mode.
It does not generate the group lists itself, but is only
activated in order to make it possible to display the
switching status on the regulator display.
Example:
The ParaGramer must be set to ON-3 for a group of three
transformers.
The MSI operating mode can be selected by choosing the MSI
operating mode in SETUP 1, Programs..., Parallel Program.
Caution!
The MSI operating mode must be selected for each
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
involved in the parallel-switching operation.
We advise contacting our company headquarters if the K1
feature and, therefore, also the Paragramer, are to be enabled
at a later date.

To verify the present settings, please select
SETUP 6, F5 (Status), --> Page 2 of the device status.
Note
Several features, e.g. RECORDER, TMM, etc. can, of
course, be loaded at the same time.
Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure:
Only transformers which are electrically (power, short circuit
voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions, switching
groups, etc.) and mechanically identical (number of tap-
changer positions, position of the deadband) are suitable for
MSI operation.
A different procedure should be used if one or more of the
parameters differ.
In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring receives the information
regarding the tap-change position of “its” transformer.
The recording and transmission of the correct tap-change
position is one of the mandatory prerequisites of the tap-
change equalisation procedure.
Every potential “candidate” must be listed in the group list with
its address in order to notify the system of the number of relays/
transformers that should take part in parallel operation.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Please select the sub-menu “Parallel Parameters” in
SETUP 1.
Method:
SETUP 1 / Programs... (F5) / “Par. Parameters” (F1)
The group list must be set up in the “Par. Parameters“ menu.
Please select the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring with the lowest address by pressing the F1 key in
the first group position of the list. Then place the Relay for

Selecting the operating modes
Three different methods can be used to select operating
modes.
1. via the binary input
2. via the membrane keypad (F3 … F5)
3. via the (serial) control system
Method 1:
Select three free inputs per Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and assign the Master (MSI_Ma), Slave
(MSI_Sl) or Independent (MSI_Ind) functions to them using
SETUP 5, F3 or by using WinREG.
178
REG-DA

Example:
IT should be possible to select the operating mode using inputs
E9 to E11.
The following is displayed in SETUP 5, F3:
A signal transmitted to input E-9 will cause the Relay for Voltage

Method 2:
Selection via the membrane keypad is only possible in the
ParaGramer.
For this reason it is necessary to first return to the main menu.
Then press the F5 key to select the ParaGramer display mode.
The symbol in the status line has been assigned to the F1 key.
Press F1 and select the desired operating mode using F3, F4

Note
The mode cannot be overwrittten via the keypad if a
specific mode is pre-selected via the binary input and a
signal is present at the input.
The mode that was most recently assigned an input is
always pre-selected. Since the inputs are triggered via
the edge of the input signal, one short pulse is sufficient
to select the operating mode.
Method 3:
Selection of the individual relays is carried out via a serial
interface (IEC…, DNP 3.0, MODBUS, SPA-Bus; via LWL or
copper).
A further prerequisite for fault-free operation is that all of the
relays have the same parameterisation.
For this reason, different parameters must be set in SETUPs 1
and 5.
Since the slaves in the master-slaves procedure are only
allowed a limited freedom of action, changes in the parameters
can only be carried out in the independent mode or the master
mode.
For this reason, the parameterisation should already have been
completed in SETUP 5 before commencing work in SETUP 1.
Please note:
First SETUP 5, then SETUP 1
Select SETUP 5, F1…, (Add-On 6).
The following parameters can be entered:

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Explanations of the individual menu items:
“Parallel Prog. activation” must be set to ON to activate parallel
operation.
The indication “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time”
can be interpreted as follows.
If the system is already operating in parallel with n stations, it
assumes that the equalisation of the tap-change positions of all
operating transformers is achieved after a maximum of
1.5 · n · the tap-changer in operation time.
If there is an error in the transmission of the BCD code or if there
are problems regarding the equalisation of the tap-changer
positions, a tap-changer position error (TapErr) will be detected
which causes the system to stop.
However, if a transformer, which (for example) has been feeding
another busbar or has been working in the stand-by mode, is
selected to participate in the parallel-switching operation, this
parameter can be used to specify the number of tap-changes
it may deviate from the parallel transformers that are already
running.
This transformer is then brought to the same tap-changer
position as the transformers which are already operating in
parallel, one step at a time and without interrupting regulation.
If equalisation doesn’t occur within the pre-selected time, the
parallel-switching is stopped and all participating relays switch
to MANUAL mode.
Example:
The transformer/relay <D> to be added to the parallel-switching
operation is currently set to the resting position in tap-changer
position 4.
The group switched in parallel is currently working in tap-
changer position 8 and the motor running time between two
tap-changer positions is 7 seconds.
If you want to add transformer <D> to the parallel-switched
group − without considering the resulting circulating reactive
currents − the “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time”
parameter must be set to 4.
The monitoring algorithm of the parallel program will wait an
interval of 4 times the tap-changer in operation time of the
added transformer (4 x 7 seconds = 28 seconds) before a
parallel error (ParErr) is triggered.
182
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Under normal conditions, the new station can be “brought” to
the tap-changer position of the group within this specified
interval.
If this is not possible, the error flag ParErr will be set and the
entire group will be switched to the MANUAL mode.
The MANUAL operating mode is the fail-safe position for all of
the master-slave procedures.
The group can only be switched back to the AUTO mode via
the master after the error which triggered the ParErr has been
rectified.
The number of transformers/relays involved in the parallel-
switching operation can be selected with the help of the
“ParaGramer Activity” parameter.
Example:
If three transformers/relays are to be switched in parallel,
“ParaGramer Activity” 3
must be selected by pressing F5.
Settings in SETUP 1
Several settings must be carried out in Setup 1.
Under normal conditions − all of the transformers are the same
− the settings for the “permissible regulative deviation” (F1), the
“time factor” (F2) and the “setpoint value” (F3) should all be the
same.
However, if you prefer to have different setpoint values
activated when changing masters, different setpoint values can
also be specified.
However, during the parallel-switching operation, only the
setpoint value parameterised in the currently active master is
taken into consideration.
Different setpoint values can naturally also be selected even if
the setpoint values originally had the same parameterisation. To
183
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
do this, the setpoint value of the active master is changed via
the binary input, the program or the serial interface.
Select SETUP 1, F5 (Programs).
Select the parallel program “MSI” using the F2 key.
All of the preparations necessary for the parallel-switching
operation have now been carried out. Proceed in the MANUAL
mode by changing the transformers until the voltage is outside
of the tolerance band. Then switch to AUTO mode to verify
whether the parallel-switching operation is functioning properly.
It is only functioning properly if the voltage returns to the
tolerance band within a short period of time and all of the
transformers are set to the same tap-changer position.
We recommend carrying out this test for both positive and
negative regulative deviations.
184
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
9.3.1 Trouble-shooting
Parallel-switching operations carried out according to the MSI
procedure can only function properly, if − in addition to the
correct functioning of the participating Relays − the
infrastructure (recording and signalling of the tap-changer
position, bus connection) are also functioning fault-free.
To ensure that errors that could occur outside of the relays do
not cause problems for maintaining the voltage, the two error
flags ParErr and TapErr have been introduced to monitor the
recording of the tap-changer position and the bus connection
respectively.
9.3.1.1 Description of the ParErr and TapErr error flags
A fault in the parallel-switching operation is signalled through
the ParErr and TapErr error bits.
ParErr
ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel
error) and automatically switches a group of transformers
operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the
Manual operating mode. If a different behaviour is desired, this
can be specified through an alteration to the SYSCTR feature.
In this case please contact our headquarters.
ParErr is triggered, for example, when the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring is bypassed when a tap-
changer regulation is carried out (the tap-changer position is set
directly at the motor drive or via the “remote control bypass”)
and the transformers are not all set back to the same tap-
changer position within an interval that is 1.5 times the tap-
change in operation time.
Exception: If a transformer with a specific tap difference is added
to the parallel-switching operation (independent becomes
slave), ParErr is not triggered until the interval specified in
SETUP 5, Add-On 6, “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in
operation time” has been exceeded.
185
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
TapErr
TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-change
position. The name is derived from the term “tap error”.
Like ParErr, TapErr affects the entire group when in MSI
operating mode.
If a transformer is being switched in parallel, regulation will stop
after 1.5 x the tap-changer in operation time if the tap-changer
positions have not reached the same level within this time.
We recommend individually assigning the TapErr and ParErr
error bits to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating
personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus
make it easier to rectify the error.
The following are considered to be tap errors:
1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction
Example:
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs
a “raise” command and the transformer “answers” with a lower
tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the transformer
“answers” with a higher tap-change.
Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have
been swapped or the motor drive is behaving inversely.
Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring increases the transformer ratio in the
event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is expected that an increase in the tap-changer
position results in a higher voltage, and a decrease in the tap-
changer position results in a lower voltage.
Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals
186
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
2. No tap-change
Example:
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs
a command, but the tap-changer position does not change.
In this case, it must be assumed that either the position
confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective.
3. Illogical tap-changes
If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap
position after a raise or lower command is issued, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring interprets this as a
fault in the tap-change operation and the TapErr flag is set.
As mentioned above, we recommend assigning the TapErr
error bit to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating
personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus
make it easier to rectify any error.
Tap limitation
If the tap is to be limited from either above or below, please
enter the following background program lines via the WinREG
terminal program:
H 7=‘RegStufe-,Lower tap limitation,<=,if,RegSperreT =3,
else,RegSperreT =0’
H 8=‘RegStufe-,Upper tap limitation,>=,if,RegSperreH =3,
else,RegSperreH =0’
In place of the “Upper tap limitation“, enter the required upper tap
limitation for your requirements and in place of the “Lower tap
limitation” enter the required lower tap limitation.
Note
The assignment of program lines H7 and H8 is arbitrary,
and you can use any two program lines of your choice.

10 Resistance Measuring Equipment for
Tap-Changers with Resistance-Coded
Tap-Change Signalling
Resistance input
If the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is equipped with a “tap-change potentiomenter”
resistance input (Feature D2 or D3), the tap-changer resistance
network can be connected directly and interpreted as a tap-
change by the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring.
This eliminates the complication of using an external resistance
measurement transducer.
The resistance chain receives a direct current from the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring via two terminals.
The voltage drop that occurs with the tap-change level is
measured using further terminals.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
normally connected in a 3-conductor circuit. Please contact
our company headquarters if a 4-conductor circuit is required.
The resistance measurement equipment consists of a
programmable current source to feed the measurement
resistor, and a voltage measurement device to measure the
voltage at the resistor. Tap-change resistances between 1 Ω
and 400 Ω can be measured. However, the total resistance
must remain ≤ 20 kΩ
The measurement result is output with a 12 bit resolution at a
refresh rate of approx 10 Hz (0.1 s).
The measurement device has a broken-wire detection system.
The parameters are input in an application menu using the
keypad.
Loading the application menu
The application menu appears when the enter key is pressed 1
to 6 times in one of the main menus (regulator measurement
transducer, recorder etc.).

REG-DA

Meaning of the lines in the menu
1. Line: dR is the nominal resistance between two levels
2. Line: is the highest measurable level
3. Line: is the lowest measurable level
10.1 Error detection
The error detection recognises the following errors:
➪ Interruption in the current loop
➪ Overloading of the current source
➪ Interruption of one or both of the feeder cables for the
voltage measurement input
➪ Measurement input overloaded
➪ Measurement range overshot
The resistance measurement value will be > RMAX for all
detectable faults.
Therefore RMAX should be measured so that the value is never
exceeded under normal conditions.
If an error occurs, an Infobox will be shown, which indicates the
error and the present measured resistance value.
10.2 Level detection
The level resistance value RS is a required input value.
The internal level N is calculated from the measured resistance
value RM using

11 mA-Inputs, mA-Outputs
The REG-D and REG-DA Relays for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring differ from one another in terms of
design and the basic configuration of the analogue inputs.
The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
is not provided with any analogue inputs, whereas the REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is always
equipped with one analogue input module.
Both relays can optionally be upgraded with various additional
modules.
The following modules are available:
❑ Analogue input module with two mA inputs
❑ Analogue module with only one mA input
(only possible for the RG-DA)
❑ Analogue module with only one mA output
(only possible for the RG-DA)
❑ Analogue output module with two mA outputs
❑ PT100 module to connect a PT100 directly to a 3-
conductor circuit
❑ Resistance module as a tap-change potentiometer
(1 ... 400 Ω/tap-change)
(see chapter 10 for description)
The parameterisation of the inputs and outputs is the same for
both types of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring and can be carried out using either the keypad or
the WinREG parameterisation software.
It is advantageous to carry out the parameterisation using
WinREG, since that is the simplest method to gain an overview
of all the various parameters.
However, parameterisation using the keypad is shown in the
example, since this gives an insight into the multiple
possibilities.

11.1 Analogue inputs
The individual steps are explained using an example.
Example:
In this example parameterisation is carried out on a REG-DA,
which is equipped with one mA input (Channel 1) as standard.
The tap-change of a transformer is delivered using a mA signal
and is connected to channel 1 of the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring.
The mA signal between 4 ... 20mA should represent a tap-
change range of 1 to 17 tap-change positions.
How to proceed:
Assuming that you are in one of the display menus (regulator,
measurement transducer, etc.), select menu and then select
SETUP 6 using the arrow keys.
Press F1 to select General 1.

Explanations:
None: no limiting,
neither up nor down
High: Limiting, upwards only
Practical meaning:
In the selected example, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring
would display tap-change position 17, if the
upstream measurement transducer over-
controls and outputs,
for example, 24mA instead of 20mA.
Low: Limiting, downwards only
Practical meaning:
In the selected example, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring
would display tap-change position 1, if the
upstream measurement transducer
outputs only 0mA instead of 4mA.
Recommendation:
In the case of inputs 4 ... 20mA, the lower limit
should not be activated, otherwise
important information may be lost.
If the input signal
value falls below 4 mA, the display remains at
tap-change position 1.
If the limiting is not
active, the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring displays tap-change
position 99, which could easily be
mis-interpreted as an error signal.
High + Low: Limits both upwards and downwards
Practical meaning:
see above
One can decide individually in each case if the
limiting function is helpful or not.
A general recommendation can
therefore not be given for this reason.

P0P2
A linear characteristic line has two points (beginning and end)
which can be described using the points P0 and P2.
Each point is specified using an x coordinate and a y
coordinate.
The characteristic lines are constructed in such a way that mA
values (input or output) are always placed on the y axis in
normalised form.
The upper limit of the mA input or output is always determined
by the specific hardware configuration.
Therefore a normalised representation is sensible.
Example:
0 ... 20 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0 and Y2 = 1
4 ... 20 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0.2 and Y2 = 1
0 ... 5 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0 and Y2 = 1
0 ... 10 V is displayed as Y0 = 0 and Y2 = 1

13.1 Cleaning information
The surface of the device can be cleaned witha dry cloth at any
time.
If the inside becomes dirty due to improper use, it is
recommended that you send the device back to the
manufacturer.
If a large amount of dust has accumulated on the terminal
blocks, the insulator coordination could fail.
Dust particles are generally hygroscopic and can bridge
creepage distances.
For this reason we recommend operating the device with the

13.5 Replacing the device
If a REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
must be replaced, the device must first be disassembled.
If the device is defective, we recommend sending it to the
company headquarters together with a short description of the
fault.
An Allen key is provided so that the disassembly can be carried
out easily. It can be used to loosen the flange plate on the
bottom of the device.
After undoing the four screws, the flange plate can be shifted
approximately 5 mm to the left, so that the entire wiring
including the connector blocks can be removed through the
bottom of the device.
A replacement device can then replace the defective one and
can be put into operation within a few minutes.

14 Storage Information
The devices should be stored in clean, dry rooms. The devices
and their respective replacement modules can be stored
between -25 °C and +65 °C.
The relative humidity must not cause the formation of either
condensation or ice.
We recommend that the storage temperature remains within
the temperature range -10 °C to +55 °C to ensure that the built-
in electrolytic capacitor does not age prematurely.
We also recommend that the device be connected to an
auxiliary voltage every two years to reform the electrolytic
capacitors. This procedure should also be carried out before
the device is put into operation. Under extreme climatic
conditions (tropics), this also simultaneously ensures “pre-
heating” and helps to avoid the formation of condensation.
The device should be stored in the service room for at least two
hours prior to being connected to the voltage for the first time
so that it can become accustomed to the ambient temperature
there and to avoid the formation of moisture and condensation.

15 Background Information
15.1 Regulator mode
The command variable W and the actual value X of the network
voltage are continuously compared in the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring in order to maintain a
constant network voltage. The command variable W is either a
fixed value or a variable value which is the sum of fixed setpoint
values and the changeable voltage drop on the lines to the
consumers.
The difference between the actual value X and the control
variable W (the regulative deviation Xw) is calculated according
to a selected function in the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and summed until a specified integral
value is reached. As soon as this integral value is reached, the
integrator is set to zero and a signal (correcting variable) is
simultaneously output which triggers the tap-changer (actuator)
of the transformer and thus changes its ratio. The integration
begins anew after each tap-change procedure.
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring functions as a three-tap change regulator with a
deadband.
No control commands are output if the actual value lies within
the deadband.
The parameters for the time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring can be optimally adapted to
the time behaviour of the network voltage (controlled system)
so that a high degree of control quality (high voltage constancy)
can be achieved with a low number of switching operations.
This results in a low load on the tap-changer.
All of the Relays can control several transformers operating in
parallel on one busbar without requiring further devices. The
transformers are regulated according to a specific algorithm,
e.g. so that the reactive part of the circulating current is
minimised. Thus transformers with different outputs and
different tap-change voltages can also be operated in parallel.
227
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
15.2 Command variable W
The command variable W for the voltage of the tap-changing
transformer may either be a fixed value (setpoint value) or a
variable value (setpoint value + a variable). A variable command
variable W can consist of, for example, the sum of a fixed
setpoint value and the share of the voltage drop on a line up to
a certain point in the circuit. This makes it possible to maintain
the voltage at a constant level even if the load and the primary
voltage are changing.
15.2.1 Fixed command variable
The command variable W is input into the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring as a voltage setpoint value
and remains constant. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring maintains the voltage at the
transformer within the tolerance band, independent of the
primary voltage and the corresponding load current (the voltage
drop on the line).
Adjusting the setpoint / Switching to a different setpoint value
Normally up to 4 setpoint values can be pre-selected. If the
present setpoint value is to be changed, this change can be
carried out on the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring either manually or by switching to another setpoint
value which has already been pre-selected. At the same time
the previous setpoint value becomes ineffective.

REG-DA operating manual
The change to another setpoint value can be activated either via
an external signal or by using a background program.
15.2.2 Variable command variable
The command variable W for regulating the voltage at a given
position on a line is the sum of a fixed setpoint value XR and the
variable value of a correction value XK.
W [V] = XR [V] + XK [V]
The correction value XK takes the data of the assigned line and
load into consideration (voltage drop Uf), so that the voltage at
the given position − the load point of the line − can be held
approximately constant.
It is assumed that the network is generally loaded
symmetrically, i.e. that the current in each line is approximately
the same. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can therefore be connected to the
current transformer of any line (L1, L2, L3).
Measuring the voltage drop Uf on the line
The voltage drop Uf on the line between the transformer and
the consumer is the difference between the r.m.s. values of
both voltages on the busbar and at the load point. The voltage
drop depends on the impedance of the line, the current
strength and the cos ϕ at the consumer.
The following formula defines the impedance of a line:
Z = RL + j ω LL + 1 / j ω CL
Measuring the voltage drop Uf as a function of the rated current
When the reactances of the line can be neglected and the cos
ϕ at the consumer remains constant, the voltage drop Uf can
be measured as a function of the nominal current.
Uf = f (I, R)
The gradient of the Uf/IL characteristic line required for the
correct measurement of Uf must be determined according to
229
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
the operating conditions. see "Nominal value of the gradient" on
page 232.
Control variables for Uf
If the cos ϕ at the consumer varies, it is possible to select the
active I cos ϕ or the reactive I sin ϕ component of the current
as the control variable for Uf rather than current intensity I itself.
The reactive component has either a positive or negative sign
to differentiate between an inductive or a capacitive load
respectively.
Measuring the voltage drop as a function of the current strength and
cos ϕ
(LDC = line drop compensation)
If the reactance of the line when measuring the voltage drop
cannot be neglected and the cos ϕ at the consumer is not
constant, the following formula applies to measuring Uf:
Uf = (R + j XL) ⋅ (I cos ϕ2 - j I sin ϕ2) = R I (cos ϕ2 - j sin ϕ2) + XL
I (sin ϕ2 + j cos ϕ2)
By inputting the values for R and XL, a replica of the line can be
created in the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring. This enables the voltage difference (of the r.m.s.
values) between the beginning of the line (transformer) and the
selected load point to be measured in relation to the current
intensity and the cos ϕ2. The value can then be used as the
correction value Xk. see "Variable command variable" on page
228.
Uf = U1 - U2
The angle at the load point is defined as ϕ2. However, in most
cases the difference between ϕ at the transformer and ϕ at the
load point may be neglected (see example).
The current and voltage paths (L1, L2, L3 as well as S1/k and
S2/l) must be correctly connected in order to be able to
measure the correct angle.
230
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Example:
Given: R = 30 Ω; XL = 82 Ω; I = 100 A; cos ϕ2 = 0.7;
U2 = 110 kV at the end of the line.
When calculating using voltage pointers (for complex quantities
use the E-2.5.2 EXCEL program which can be downloaded
from our website, www.a-eberle.de), the result is the following
exact value Uf = U1 - U2 = 7.96 kV. (The angle difference of the
voltage pointer between the feeding point and the load point is
approximately 2°).
The voltage at the transformer must thus be regulated to the
r.m.s. value U1 = 110 kV + 7.96 kV = 117.96 kV (command
variable W).
Setting R and XL
The differences between the entered values and the actual
values of R and XL as well as the difference between the cos ϕ
at the transformer and at the consumer (the indicators of U1 and
U2 have different angles) can also be eliminated by readjusting
R and XL.
If values exist for the inductive and resistive voltage drop
between the feeding point and the load point, they can be
converted to resistances (R and X) using a simple mathematical
equation.
Divide the voltages by 10 and enter the resulting values as the
resistances R and X.
Example: Ux = 12 V
Ur = 25 V
Thus:
X = 1.2 Ohms
R = 2.5 Ohms
231
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
15.2.3 Current-dependent setpoint value increment
Determining the voltage levels XR and Uf
The voltage level XR (setpoint value) should correspond to the
required voltage at a minimum current.
The voltage level Uf is a function of the gradient of the linear Uf/
IL-characteristic line. Adding this voltage to the entered setpoint
value XR (increasing the setpoint value) cancels out the voltage
drop on the line.
Various programs are available for incrementing the setpoint
value:
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on apparent current
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on active current
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on reactive current.
The line-drop compensation using the LDC process was
described in the previous chapter.
Apart from the LDC process, the most commonly used method
is compensation based on the apparent current and this is
described in more detail below.
Please observe that the positive or negative sign of the active
power is taken into consideration when the current-dependent
setpoint value is increased.
The current-dependent setpoint value increment is active if
power is being consumed and is inactive when power is being
supplied.
This procedure - which works in the interest of network
operation - can only be carried out properly and reliably when
the direction of the active power is input correctly.

In this case a positive sign for active power indicates incoming
power (setpoint value increment permissible), whereas a
negative sign indicates power supply, and the setpoint
increment function is disabled.
The connections for both the voltage and the current must be
correctly assigned in order to detect the direction of the active
power.
Therefore, please check the connections for current and
voltage, as well as the assignments (SETUP 5, F2) and lastly
check the sign for active power in the measurement transducer
mode.
Nominal value of the gradient
The nominal value of the gradient Gnom indicates the % change
in the nominal voltage when the current strength changes from
0 to 100% of the I1n nominal current of the current transformer
that is mounted in the network.
GNom = 100 V
(∆U in relation to ∆IL [A])
Thus for the voltage Uf = f (I)
Limitation of the voltage level Uf
To prevent the command variable from exceeding a certain limit
value in the event of overcurrent, the gradient of the linear Uf/IL
characteristic line must be set to zero from a specified value of
the current onwards. The characteristic line is horizontal after
this point.

Measuring the required gradient
The two value pairs, voltage and current strength, must be
known at a light load as well as at full load to measure the
required nominal value Gnom [%].
Please note that the gradient and the setpoint value cannot be
set independently from each other for this type of characteristic
line, because when Gnom [%] > 0%, the command variable W,
which is already at the minimum current value Imin > 0, would be
unintentionally increased.
Example:
The voltage at a particular point in the network is to be held
constant at 20 kV under a variable load.
Nominal values of the voltage transformer:
U1n = 20 kV; U2n = 100 V; Knu = 200
Nominal values of the current transformer:
I1n = 800 A; I2n = 5 A; Kni = 160
Measured value pairs:

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
To raise the voltage of the transformer at full load (Imax) to
21.5 kV, the command variable must be ∆U = 1.0 kV, or 5% of
the nominal voltage U1n higher than the set setpoint value XR.
Calculating the nominal value of the gradient Gnom [%]
Setpoint value reduction
With a light load and this gradient, the command variable W
would be increased to
This corresponds to (100 A / 800 A) 6.67% = 0.83% of the
nominal voltage.
Thus, the setpoint value XR would have to be set lower by
0.83% in order to maintain the voltage level at 20.5 kV during a
light load.
Adjusting the setpoint values
At full load, the reduction of the setpoint value, however, causes
the command variable W to be lowered so that a compromise
must be found between the increase in Gnom [%] and the
decrease in the reduction of the setpoint value.

This method can be used to compensate the voltage drop if
cosϕ is relatively constant.
Active current: Isd = Iw = I x cosϕ (with +/- sign)
The active current is used to determine the change in the
setpoint value. If a negative active current flows (energy fed
back), the setpoint value is decreased. The limitation is
symmetrical and applies to both increases and decreases.
Reactive current: Ixd = Ib = I x sinϕ (with +/- sign)
The reactive current is used to determine the voltage increase.
The increase/decrease is independent of the sign of the active
power. It is increased if the reactive current is inductive, and
decreased if it is capacitive.
This program is primarily used if the cosϕ of the network varies
by a large amount.
LDC (Line Drop Compensation):
Used to compensate the voltage drop on a line when the active
and reactive resistances are known. This process can also be
used if the cosϕ of the consumer is not constant. The gradient
is not required for this process. The limitation, however,
continues to apply.

15.4 Regulative deviations
15.4.1 Regulative deviation Xw
The regulative deviation Xw is the difference between the actual
value X of the regulating variable and the command variable W.
The sign of the regulative deviation can be plus or minus.
Note
The regulative deviation Xw corresponds to the negative
regulation difference Xd.
15.4.2 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz
To minimise the number of switches of the tap-changer, a
deviation in the network voltage from the command variable W
is tolerated within certain limits, i.e. a specific regulative
deviation is permissible.
This permissible regulative deviation Xwz is entered as a ± n%
of the control variable W (independent of all the other limit values
expressed in %) and sets the limits for the maximum
permissible relative fluctuation of the network voltage above
and below the control value W. For this reason the absolute limit
values of the tolerance band are dependent on the set
command variable W.
When the network voltage dips into this tolerance band, the
regulation procedure is interrupted and the integrator is set to
zero so that the regulation/integration process only begins
again when the network voltage overshoots or undershoots the
limits of the tolerance band.
Fluctuations in the network voltage within the permissible
regulative deviation have no effect on the regulation procedure.

15.4.3 Displaying the regulative deviation Xw
The deviation of the network voltage X from the command
variable W is indicated analogously on the scale of the
regulator. The colour of the pointer changes from light to dark
when the voltage exceeds the permissible regulative deviation
Xwz.
When indicating the permissible regulative deviation Xwz, the
setpoint value correction Xk for compensating the voltage drop
in the line is not taken into consideration.
15.4.4 Setting the permissible regulative deviation Xwz
The tolerance band determined by the permissible regulative
deviation Xwz (± n% of the control variable W) must be higher than
the tap-change of the transformer in percent, because
otherwise the changed output voltage of the transformer would
violate the opposite limit of the permissible regulative deviation
after a control command has been executed. Furthermore,
after having reached the integral value, a control command
would be output to reset the previous transformer tap-changer
position. This procedure would be constantly repeated, i.e. this
would lead to frequent tap-changes of the transformer and thus
to unwanted fluctuations in the network voltage.
In order to have sufficient distance from the upper and lower
limits of the permissible regulative deviation, the following
formula applies
2 ⋅ |± Xwz [%]| > ∆UTap [%]
or
|± Xwz [%]| > 0.5 ∆UTap [%]
Guide value for Xwz
The following guide value is generally recommended for the
permissible regulative deviation Xwz:
|± Xwz [%]| ≥ 0.6 ∆UTap [%]
240
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Example for determining the permissible regulative deviation
Nominal voltage UNom = 100 kV
Number of levels ± 15
Setting range 85 kV ... 115 kV
Tap-change increment: (115 kV - 85 kV): 30 levels =
1 kV / tap-change
Thus 1 kV corresponds to the value of 1% of Unom
With this data, the permissible regulative deviation Xwz should
not be less than the value Xwz = ± 0.6 ⋅ 1.0 kV = ± 0.6 kV (±
0.6%) The absolute limits are thus 100.6 kV and 99.4 kV.
If, for example, the upper limit is exceeded and the voltage is set
back by one tap-change, the voltage is reduced to 100.6kV –
1.0 kV = 99.6 kV, i.e. the lower limit of 99.4 kV is not undershot.
The voltage remains within the range of the permissible
regulative deviation.

15.5 Monitoring extreme operating values
(faults)
If a fault occurs in the network, e.g. inadmissibly or extremely
high/low voltages or currents, the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring must not switch the transformer tap-
changer to the highest or lowest tap-changer position. This
occurs to prevent the network voltage having an impermissible
value after the cause of the fault has been eliminated. These
monitoring tasks are carried out by additional limit signals.
15.5.1 Limit signal
Switching time delay
The difference in time between when the limit value is reached
and when the signal is transmitted is defined as the time delay.
A specific time delay can be selected (parameterised) for each
limit signal.
Note
Please note that the actual switching time delay can
exceed the parameterised switching time delay by up to
2 seconds. This difference is due to the procedure
selected for determining the measurement values.
Switching hysteresis, switching difference Xsd
The difference in the input values between the switching on and
off of the limit signal after the limit value violation has
disappeared is defined as the switching difference. The
hysteresis Xsd has a standard value of 1% of 100 V
(corresponds to 1 V).
Assignment of the limit signal
Each of the following limit values is monitored by one limit
signal. A special additional function is activated for certain types
of limit signals.
In the menu you have the option of selecting whether a binary
output or LED should be activated if a limit value violation
occurs.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Note
Any number of additional limit signals can be generated
via the REG-L programming language (as a background
program).
Setting the limit values/plausibility check
The limit signal can be set freely for each limit signal within a
given range. Therefore the user must check the logical relations
of the values with each other.
Limit signal trigger (G1)
When U > G1: Activation of the INHIBIT LOW regulator function
(no control commands are output) in the event of undervoltage.
Setting range: 100 V ≤ G1 ≤ 150 V
Note
The tripping can only be entered as an absolute value,
because there is also only one voltage that may not be
exceeded under any circumstances, regardless of the
selected setpoint value.
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)
if required. Furthermore, the limit value violation can be
signalled by a freely programmable LED (LED1 ... LED12).

The limit value is normally given as a %.
X0 represents the reference value (setpoint).
No more control commands will be output after the dip into the
tolerance band ± Xwz.
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)

This function is not available if the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is operated in the “Creeping Net
Breakdown” mode.
Reason: If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring changes to high-speed switching when the
“creeping net breakdown” function is switched on, the
conditions may be fulfilled (depending on parameterisation)
under which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring detects a creeping net breakdown and changes to
blocking without the voltage having reached the permissible
tolerance band.
Setting range: 0.65 X0 ≤ G3 ≤ 1.00 X0 (-35% ... 0%)
The limit value is normally given as a %.
X0 represents the reference value (setpoint).
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)
if required. Furthermore, the limit value violation can be
signalled by a freely programmable LED (LED1 ... LED12).
Limit value transmitter > U (G4)
The overvoltage >U is a limit value which only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances.
If the voltage exceeds the >U limit then all “raise” commands
are surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation if operating
with several setpoints and using an absolute value (100 V / 110
V) as the limit value for >U.
Setting range: 0 ... +25% *
Further information: see "> U Overvoltage" on page 118

I > G5: Activation of the STANDSTILL regulator function if
undercurrent occurs (no issuing of control commands).
However, the STANDSTILL function will only be activated if it

The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)

signalled by a freely programmable LED (LED1 ... LED12).
Limit value transmitter < U (G6)
The undervoltage <U is a limit value which only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances.
If the voltage falls below the <U limit, all “lower” commands are
surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation if operating
with several setpoints and using an absolute value (100 V / 110
V) as the limit value for <U.
Setting range: -25% ... 0% *
Further information: see "< U Undervoltage" on page 117
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)

Note
The <U message is suppressed for voltages < 20 V for
firmware version 2.00 onwards.

I < G7: Activation of the STANDSTILL regulator function in the
event of undercurrent (no issuing of control commands).
However, the STANDSTILL function will only be activated if it
has been previously activated in the menu “Add-On 5”.
Setting range: 0.0 X0 ≤ G7 ≤ 1.00 X0
The selected rated value (1 A or 5 A) always applies as the limit

Inhibit low limit value transmitter (G8)
When U < G8: Activation of the limit signal and of the
STANDSTILL regulator function (no issuing of control
commands see "Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring inhibit low function" on page 247).
Setting range: 0.25 X0 ≤ G8 ≤ 1.00 X0 (-75% ... +0%)
The limit value is normally given as a %.
X0 represents the reference value.
You can chose 100 V or 110 V as the reference value for the
setpoint (also refer to Add-On 5, F2).
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)
if required. Furthermore, the limit value violation can be
signalled by a freely programmable LED (LED1 ... LED12).
Reference value X0 and reference value for the limit values
The upper and lower limit value may be set as a relative value in
% of the current setpoint value or as an absolute value in
relation to the nominal value of the voltage Unom see "Factory
Settings of the Parameters" on page 303.
Example for relative limits:
If the “Setpoint value X” is selected as the reference value, all of
the limit values change in relation to the respective entered
setpoint value.
Setpoint value: X = 102.0 V; limit values: ± 10%;
thus the upper limit is 112.2 V and the lower limit is 91.8 V.
Example for absolute limits:
If “Unom= 100 V” is selected as the reference value, all of the limit
values refer to the nominal voltage of 100 V and are
independent of the current setpoint value.
246
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Reference value: Unom = 100 V, Setpoint: 105 V, limit values: ±
10% of Unom; thus the lower limit is 90 V and the upper limit is
110 V.
15.6 Add-Ons
15.6.1 High-speed switching add-on
Using the high-speed switching add-on switches off the
reaction delay (regulation behaviour, see Page 252), i.e. the
control commands for the tap-changer are output in the
shortest possible time sequence.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring quickly
regulates the tap-changer via successive control commands in
the same direction (RAISE or LOWER) back to a tap-changer
position with which the voltage of the transformer is within the
permissible regulative deviation.
The high-speed switching then becomes inactive again.
This ensures that transformer output voltages that are too high
or too low are quickly rectified.
The user can set the shortest time between control commands
(the tap-changer in operation time) according to the time
requirement of a tap-change operation
(SETUP 5, F1, F2) so that only command change operations
that can be carried out are given.
There are two different types of control to avoid the tap-
changer drives being triggered by a sequence of control
commands that is too fast.
➪ If a Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
input E1 ... E16 is configured as the tap-changer in
operation input (with the exception of E5 and E6), the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will not output
the control commands until 2 s after the tap-changer in
operation “drops”.
➪ If the tap-changer in operation is not output to the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the relay will
output the control commands with a time separation
corresponding to the set “maximum time tap-changer in
operation” (SETUP 5 - Add-On 1).
247
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Activation
The high-speed switching of the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is activated either internally or externally
via a binary signal. A binary input signal can also be used to
activate the high-speed switching operation even if the actual
voltage value is not sufficient to require it.
15.6.2 Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
inhibit low function
The output of control commands to the tap-changer is blocked
in inhibit low (standstill) mode (the output is “set to a standstill”).
The standstill is active until the network voltage no longer
violates the limit value for the standstill. The Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will continue to function again
normally approximately 5 s after the network voltage violation
has ended.
Activation
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
switched to inhibit low either internally (standard program) or
externally via a binary signal.

Summary of all limit values
15.6.3 Measuring the “Creeping Net Breakdown”
The “Creeping Net Breakdown” add-on is mainly used if the
voltage on the high voltage side has fallen for a certain period
of time.
A Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring generally
initially reacts with tap-changes in the direction of a higher
voltage in such cases to maintain a constant secondary
voltage.
If the voltage on the primary side suddenly returns to its default
value, the transformer will be set to a tap that is too high (high
voltage) and will have to be regulated back in the direction of a
lower voltage.
In certain circumstances, this behaviour can cause the voltage
to exceed the trigger threshold of protection devices or the
“tripping” limit of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring to be reached which blocks the relay.
The “creeping net breakdown” function is used to prevent such
situations.
Only Relays that are equipped with two voltage transformers
(M3 or M9) can use this feature.

The “creeping net beakdown” function can only be derived from
the overvoltage.
If only the control voltage (undervoltage) is available to the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, it is not possible
to ascertain whether the voltage dip is caused by a load or
whether the reduction of the voltage is caused by a dangerous
situation on the high voltage side.
If the regulative deviation is so large that - during a certain time
period - more than a specified number of control commands in
the RAISE direction is required to eliminate the regulative
deviation, the REG-DA can react in two different ways:
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
does not output any further control commands. It leaves the
“AUTOMATIC” operating mode and remains in the
“MANUAL” operating mode until it is switched back into
“AUTOMATIC” mode, either via the manual key or via a
remote control command.
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
blocks all further control commands for a lock time (1 min ...
20 min). This lock is automatically removed if:
a) the specified lock time has expired
or
b) when the first LOWER control
command is output (i.e. when the upper limit of the
regulative deviation is violated.
The “creeping net breakdown” function is canceled if the
measurement quantity returns to being within the permissible
range or if a lower command is issued.
The “Creeping Net Breakdown” function suppresses the “High-
Speed Forward Switching” function.
250
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
15.6.4 “Maximum tap-change difference” monitoring Add-
On
A tap-change difference can only occur when at least two
transformers are considered.
If parallel programs that use the circulating reactive current
process are used, then the transformers are always regulated
to different tap-change positions if the transformers that are
working in parallel are different (uk, number of tap-change
positions, etc.).
The “maximum tap-change difference” parameter can be used
to limit the difference.
If the specified tap-change difference is reached, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will no longer carry
out tap-change operations if doing so would cause the
circulating reactive current to reduce further.
The ParErr error flag is used for the monitoring.
ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel
error) and automatically switches a group of transformers
operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the
Manual operating mode.
ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two
transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the
specified “maximum tap-change difference”.
An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not
desired. Otherwise only the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring that carried out the tap-change that
lead to the permissible maximum tap difference being exceed
will be switched over to the manual operating mode.
Note
If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company
headquarters.
15.6.5 Add-On: monitoring the tap-changer
After the control command has been output, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring controls the correct
switching of the tap-changer so that the tap-change signal (tap-
changer in operation) that is returned by the tap-changer is
measured and compared with the value of the maximum tap-
251
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
change in operation time which was previously set via the menu
(Setup 5, add-on 1).
If the tap-change signal continues to be output for a longer
period of time, it is possible that the tap-changer has an error.
The operation of the tap-changer can be interrupted using one
of the freely programmable outputs R3 ... R11.
In this case the Laufl-F. or the Laufl-F+ function must be
selected.
Laufl-F. causes a continuous signal at the selected output relay.
Laufl-F+ only causes a wiping signal.
This output signal can be used to switch off the motor drive of
the tap-changer (for example).

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
15.7 Time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring when a
control command is output
Requirements
Optimal regulation behaviour is achieved when the operating
requirements with regard to the voltage constancy need as few
tap-changer operations as possible.
However, optimal regulation behaviour also requires that larger
regulative deviations are regulated quicker than smaller
regulative deviations.
Note
For more information about understanding the
regulation behaviour see "Integrated time program" on
page 259!
Moreover, large regulative deviations should be rectified faster
than small regulative deviations.
There are two measures for complying with the requirements
specified above:
➪ The regulative deviations are summed up to a specified
integral value before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs a control command.
If the network voltage dips into the tolerance band (± Xwz)
before this integral value is reached, the integrator will be
set to zero.
➪ The regulative deviations are continuously evaluated before
the integration according to the selected time relationship
(∆U · t = const, REG-5A). Depending on the time interval,
the evaluation factor increases either linearly or non-linearly
with the value of the regulative deviation. Therefore, large
regulative deviations (voltage deviations) are rectified faster
than small ones. Large deviations in the voltage from the
command variable trigger a control command after a short
period of time (the integral value is reached quickly),
whereas small voltage deviations take longer to trigger a
control command.
253
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Basic time and time factor
The evaluation factor variable of the regulative deviation Xw is
not indicated directly, rather it is indicated as the time tg in
seconds which passes from the beginning of the integration to
the triggering of a control command provided that the regulative
deviation is constant. Thus, the relationship between the
regulative deviation and the reaction time can be recognised
immediately.
If, for operational reasons, a slower reaction of the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired, the time tg
may be increased by multiplying it with the time factor FZ
(0,1 ... 30).
The time interval that elapses between the signalling of a control
command and the actual triggering of a control command is in
part determined by the switching time delay.
Time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring
The switching delay tv for a set permissible regulative deviation
Xwz is thus dependent on the value of the present regulative
deviation Xw, the selected characteristic line Xw/tg and the
value of the set time factor Ft.
tv = tb · Ft

15.7.2 Integrated time program
Both the “∆U · t = const” and “REG- 5A/E” integrating time
programs function in the following manner: after the integral of
the voltage deviation ∆U and the time “t” has reached a
specified value, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring carries out a tap-change operation. The integrator is
reset to zero after each tap-change operation.
If the voltage leaves the voltage band directly after a regulation
procedure, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring waits for the time specified in the algorithm (time
from the characteristic curve multiplied with the time factor)
before it initiates another control procedure.
Considering a bucket that is asymmetrically hung is helpful for
understanding the two integrating procedures.
Picture 1 Picture 2
Memory is filled with a Memory is filled with a
small regulative deviation large regulative deviation
The bucket tips when it is filled and this is analogous to a step-
change operation carried out by the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring.
The analogy can be interpreted as follows:
The greater the amount of water that flows into the bucket per
unit time (the larger the voltage deviation), the quicker the
bucket will fill up and tip over (the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change).
The smaller the amount of water that flows into the pail per unit
of time (the smaller the voltage deviation), the longer it takes for
the bucket to fill up and tip over (the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change).
260
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
The volume of water flowing (e.g. m3
/unit time) corresponds to
the voltage deviation.
This algorithm is based on the operating experience that small
regulative deviations do not need to be rectified immediately,
since in general they do not lead to a fault in the operation and
also they can often “heal” themselves due to changes to the
load (voltage returns to being within the bandwidth again).
The setpoint value and bandwidth boundaries are generally
parameterised such that the voltage lies in the middle of the
tolerance band.
In situations in which the voltage has changed such that it still
lies within the band but close to the limit due to a particular load
situation or a change to the primary voltage, small changes in
the voltage or the load will always lead to a band violation.
However, since small regulative deviations are accompanied by
a long integration or reaction time (it takes a long time for the
bucket to fill), the voltage spends a large part of a particular
amount of time outside the permissible band.
In such cases, specific intervention of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired.
15.7.3 Trend memory
The “Trend memory” parameter can be used to accelerate all
the algorithms.
It functions as follows:
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, the integration process
is initiated − the bucket is filled. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring performs a tap-change operation after
a certain time has elapsed, which is determined by various
parameters (the entered permissible regulative deviation, the
actual regulative deviation, time factor).
If the voltage returns to the bandwidth without the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring having issued a tap-
change command, the integrator is only reset to zero after the
time that is parameterised for the trend memory has elapsed
and not immediately.
However, if the voltage leaves the tolerance band again a short
time later, the tap-change command will tend to be issued
earlier because the integrator was not “emptied” and so will
become full quicker.
261
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
However, once a tap-changing command is issued, the
memory is set back to zero.
Therefore by using the “trend memory” parameter it can be
achieved that the integrator is not immediately reset to zero if
the voltage returns to being within the permissible tolerance
band. If the voltage leaves the bandwidth at a point in time at
which the memory has not been completely emptied, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can react earlier,
since the integration procedure or “filling” procedure doesn’t
start from zero, but rather at a higher level.
Note
The function of the trend memory is explained using an
example at the end of this section.
In general: The time, which is derived from the selected time
program, is crucial to the memory loading process which
triggers a tap-change operation when the memory is 100% full.
However, the emptying of the memory is dependent on the time
that is specified as the trend memory time.
Note
For the delta U * t = const and
REG 5A/E time programs, the time to be entered for
loading of the memory can be derived from the
appropriate curves. For the “Const” time program use
time T1 (see Page 262).
A progress bar is incorporated in the regulator screen so that
the present trend memory level can be judged by the user.
The progress bar is displayed as a black bar at the bottom of
the screen. The bar is black when the memory is filling (i.e. the
voltage lies outside of the tolerance band), and when it is
emptying it changes colour and is light.
A tap-change operation is carried out when the bar reaches the
right hand side of the screen. If the bar is invisible, this means
that the trend memory has been completely emptied.

15.7.4 “Const” time program
“Const” stands for constant reaction times, which cannot be
adjusted in a sensitive manner to the respective regulative
deviations, as is the case for the “∆U · t = const” or the “REG-
5A/E” procedures.
Two differing times are specified in the “Const” program, which
cause the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
to perform a tap-change operation dependent on the extent of
the regulative deviation.
Time T1 is effective if the voltage has a value that lies outside of
the voltage band, but which can be brought back within the
band with a single tap-change operation. T2 is valid when larger
deviations have to be rectified.
The limit above which T2 is valid is therefore the same as the
specified permissible regulative deviation.
Example:
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%
Actual regulative deviation is 3%
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
uses the time T1
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%
Actual regulative deviation is 5%
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
uses the time T2
One advantage of this procedure is that in the case of regulative
deviations which are larger than one tap-change, the operator

REG-DA

can easily see when the next tap-change command will be
issued.
A disadvantage compared to the other procedures is that over
a long period of time the number of tap-changes will probably
be larger than would be the case for the “∆U · t = const.” and
“REG 5A/E” regulation algortihms.
As a general settings recommendation, the time T2 should be
shorter than time T1 since large regulative deviations should be
rectified more quickly than small ones.
Of course, the absolute values of the times in this case also
depend on the specific conditions at the respective feeding
point (load structure and behaviour etc.).
Sensible values for the trend memory can also only be derived
from practical experience.

After a further 10 seconds, the voltage leaves the permissible
tolerance band again, and after 30 seconds a “lower” tap-
change is issued by the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring which returns the value to within the band.
Diagram 2 shows how full the trend memory is (fill level). The
Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring performs a
tap-change if the fill level reaches the normalised value “1”. If,
on the other hand, the graph reaches the x-axis (0 value), the
memory is completely emptied.
Diagram 3 shows when the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring issues a control command due to
voltage deviations.
Diagrams 4 and 5 show the behaviour that occurs without the
trend memory.
After 20 seconds the integrator for T1 is reset to zero, and after
30 seconds it begins to fill again − starting from zero.
A further 40 seconds (T1) are required to fill the memory to a
level where a tap-change command is issued.
The way the trend memory operates can be best illustrated
using diagram 2.
In order to explain the individual steps more clearly, the diagram
has been divided into three sections, i, ii and iii.
Section i: The voltage is outside the voltage band, the integrator
for time T1 is running.
If the voltage were to remain outside the tolerance band for 40
seconds, the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring would issue a control command. However, since
the voltage returns to being within the tolerance band after 20
seconds, the regulation procedure is surpressed.
Section ii: The integrator for time T1 is half full (50% or 20
seconds in total). Emptying now begins according to the time
that has been entered for the trend memory (100% =  40
seconds).
266
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Section iii: The voltage only remains inside the permissible
tolerance band for 10 seconds and then exceeds the allowed
voltage range again.
During this time the integrator could only be reduced from 50%
to 25% full (20 seconds to 10 seconds). If the voltage now
remains outside the band for a further 30 seconds the Relay for
Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring will issue a tap-
change command.
For the voltage progression described in the example the time
before the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring
intervenes is reduced from 70 seconds to 60 seconds by
employing the trend memory (refer also to diagrams 4 and 5).
15.7.5 Setting the time factor Ft
The time factor Ft can only be set by the ∆U · t = const, REG
5A/E and LINEAR time behaviours.
For a normal 24 hour load curve, an empirical value between 2
and 3 is suitable for the time factor. 3. If the 24-hour load curve
is more constant, the rectification process can be accelerated
by choosing a smaller time factor.

15.8 E-LAN (Energy Local Area Network)
Each bus station (REG-DA) has two E-LAN interfaces. So-
called line-to-line operation is enabled through these interfaces.
In this operating mode, each Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring works as a bus station and, at the
same time, as a bus repeater which regenerates distorted
rectangular forms and which increases the output level to the
setpoint value. Up to 255 bus stations can be connected to the
E-LAN.
All bus stations can thus communicate with each other or be
centrally controlled (see WinREG operating manual for selection
and details).

Types of lines
Each of the E-LAN interfaces of a bus station can operate on a
2-wire line or on a 4-wire line. A 2-wire line is usually selected
because this is the only option which permits a bus
configuration with several bus stations on the same bus line.
The transmission line must be connected with a 100 Ω resistor
at its beginning and end. Reflections can occur if the
terminating resistance is not present. These distort the signal,
increase the line damping, reduce the maximum transmission
distance of the line and cause error functions.
The terminating resistances are already integrated into the
REG-DA and can be switched on and off via the operating
panel (termination).
Topology
The topology of the network, i.e. the connection of each bus
station to the bus, may be freely selected and combined.
The maximum permissible transfer rate depends on the
selected operating mode (2-wire or 4-wire connection) and on
the bus length.
The permissible separations are summarised in the table below:
Baud rate
(KBaud)
4-wire 2-wire
15,6 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
31,2 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
62,5 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
125 1.0 km ≤ 0.1 km
375 0.8 km Not

270
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Bus segment
Up to 8 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment
(line between two stations without boosters).
Up to 16 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment if
all of the spur-line connections are as short as possible and the
total loop resistance of the transmission line is  100 Ohms.
Multimaster structure
The E-LAN has a multimaster structure, i.e. any bus station can
operate as the bus master.
Each Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring in the
E-LAN can access all the data from all the other bus stations.
Unique addressing
Each bus station on the E-LAN must be assigned a unique
address. 255 freely selectable addresses are possible.
An address has the form: A, A1 ... A9, B, B1 ... B9, Z, Z1 ... Z4
Bus station index
Each bus station automatically generates an internal index of all
bus stations with valid addresses in the E-LAN.
Every three seconds, each bus station in the E-LAN sends a so-
called broadcast message to all of the other bus stations so
that each bus station can adapt their internal index accordingly.
If the broadcast message of a bus station is interrupted for
more than 20 seconds, the other bus stations will delete the
corresponding bus station from their internal index. A list of all
bus stations can be loaded via the operating panel.
The background program can be used to specify that the
omission of a bus station is indicated via a signal (relay, LED) or
a text message on the display.

15.9 Voltage regulation with transformers
operating in parallel
If transformers operating in parallel do not have same data
(EMK, uk, switching group, number of tap-change positions),
an additional circulating reactive current will permanently flow
within this parallel-switching circuit. This circulating reactive
current generates losses and is independent of the load current
and must therefore be avoided.
Regulation criteria
In the case of parallel-switching on a busbar, the terminal
voltage of all of the transformers - even with different tap-
change positions - is compulsorily set to the same amount.
Therefore the voltage alone cannot be a regulation criteria for
transformers with different characteristic quantities. The voltage
regulation must be supplemented by a circulating current
regulation to be able to control transformers operating in
parallel on a busbar to the appropriate voltage that is required
and to the same tap-change position.
If all the transformers are the same, stable parallel-switching
can be achieved using the voltage and tap-changes (master-
slave, MSI).
Command variable
The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring regulate the voltage on the undervoltage side (on the
measurement transformer) of each transformer to a common
command variable which depends on the sum current of the
transformers operating in parallel.
Sum current (only relevant in the event of current influence)
The currents of all of the transformers can be summed in one
Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring by
networking the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring of all of the transformers operating in
parallel via one bus. This sum current and the selected gradient
of the Uf/IL characteristic line is the uniform base for the
current-dependent influence of the command variable W for all
Relays.
272
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Due to the use of a normalised sum current, the gradient of the
Uf/IL characteristic can be set independently of the number and
different types of characteristic data of the transformers
operating in parallel (nominal power, short circuit voltage), so
that changes in these parameters do not require resetting the
gradient Gnom.
15.9.1 Regulation programs
for transformers operating in parallel
The following procedures are available:
➪ ∆I sin ϕ − procedure
(minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ)
➪ ∆I sin ϕ (S) − procedure
(minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ
when operating transformers in parallel with various
apparent powers)
➪ Master-slave procedure (forced parallel operation, same
tap-change position) for all the transformers in parallel.
➪ ∆cos ϕ − procedure
(minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ for
transformers that cannot communicate using E-LAN)
➪ MSI - Master Slave Independent − procedure
Parameters
Parameters determine the extent to which the parallel
regulation programs may affect regulation.
Different parameter menus are available depending on the type
of regulation program selected for operating the transformers in
parallel.
➪ Influence of the circulating current regulation
➪ Limitation of the influence of the circulating current
regulation
➪ Setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset)
➪ Nominal power of the transformer
273
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
➪ Transformer group list (addresses of relays activated by the
menu or a binary signal (e.g. ParaGramer) that regulate
transformers operating in parallel on a busbar)
15.9.2 Functional principle
Minimisation of the circulating reactive current
The reactive component (Icirc sin ϕ) of the circulating current
Icirc should ideally be zero or at least be minimised.
Since the voltage cannot be changed continuously (tap-
changes occur in increments), it is generally not possible to
achieve the condition Icirc sin ϕ = 0.
To minimise the reactive component of the circulating current,
each Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring
measures the reactive component I sin ϕ of the load currents
for each transformer of the group list, calculates the circulating
reactive current Icirc sin ϕ of the assigned transformer and sets
the tap-changer position in such a way that this circulating
reactive current is minimised.
15.9.3 Influence of the circulating current regulation
The size of the voltage change depends on the “influence of the
circulating current regulation” parameters as well as on their
degree of limitation. Larger permissible circulating currents (i.e.
influence of circulating current regulation is lower) cause the
precision of the circulating current regulation to be lowered
which could result in tap-change differences of more than one
tap-change.
Limitation of the influence of the circulating current regulation
Under normal operating conditions, the voltage regulation and
the circulating current regulation are independent of each other
(the limitation value of the influence of the circulating current
regulation lies far above the normal operation value).
Only under extreme conditions, including:
➪ Operating transformers in parallel with previously different
tap-change positions
➪ Manual change of the tap-change position
➪ ∆cos ϕ-regulation for cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset
274
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
can the system be regulated to achieve either optimal voltage
stability or optimal minimisation of the circulating reactive
current. The user chooses his/her priority by setting the
respective parameters.
This means that if voltage regulation is to be given priority over
circulating current regulation, the influence of the circulating
current regulation can be limited to a minimum value which
must nevertheless be higher than zero.
15.9.4 Activation of the regulation program
Both the regulation program selected via the menu, and the
addresses of the transformers/relays specified for operating in
parallel are stored in a “group list” (SETUP 1, programs..., Par.
parameters...). The operation in parallel and its reset are
activated via a freely selectable binary input (SETUP 5, Add-On
6).
The corresponding activation may be carried out via a pulse or
a high-level continuous signal.
A “self-learning” regulation program (ParaGramer) is also
available through which the relays on the E-LAN permanently
check which transformers are feeding on which busbar. The
transformer group list is constantly updated in accordance with
these results.
The ParProg parameter can be used to determine if a parallel
program is active or not and can be assigned to a freely
programmable LED or relay. An error function is indicated with
(ParErr) or TapErr.
Further information can be found in chapter 9.

15.9.5 Description of the regulation programs
15.9.5.1 The ∆I sin ϕ procedure
Functional principle:
The value of the reactive current should be the same value, IbA
= IbB = IbC = ... , for each of the transformers operating in
parallel A, B, C,... .
If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero.
Area of application:
Parallel operation on a busbar with a maximum of 10
transformers with nearly equal nominal power, nearly equal
short circuit voltage and the same switching group.
The tap-change increments may differ and the cos ϕ in the
network can take any values requested.
Prerequisites:
The short circuit voltages, Uk of the transformers operating in
parallel should only differ by a small amount:
(0.90 ukn-1  ukn  1.10 ukn-1) and the nominal powers should be
approximately the same.
The ∆I sin ϕ [S] program is available when transformers with
different nominal powers are used.
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the circulating reactive current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer)
➪ Group list of the relays/transformers (addresses of relays
which can be activated via the menu, ParaGramer or a
binary signal, that control transformers that are operating in
parallel on a busbar)
➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers
(SETUP 5, Add-On 6)

The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Operate all Relays in MANUAL mode and set all the
transformers that are in the group list to the tap-change
position that causes approximately the same terminal
voltage. Note the value of the reactive current (Ib = Isin ϕ =
reactive component of the load current)(measurement
transducer mode). The value of the reactive current must be
approximately the same in all of the other transformers.
➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change
position.
➪ The reactive current changes. The difference between the
new value (Ib** = 2nd measurement value) and the old value
(Ib* = 1st measurement value) is considered to be the 1st
approximation to the “perm. Icirc”.
Since the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring is
supposed to reset the transformer that was changed by one
level back to the previous tap-changer position, the permissible
circulating current (perm. Icirc) can be set to a lower value than
the value found in the 1st approximation.
i.e.: permissible Icirc  0.6 (Ib** - Ib*).
Low values can produce oscillations in the regulation, in
particular when the transformers have different tap-changer
increments or different short circuit voltages.
Note
Please note that the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring may under certain
circumstances also issue a tap-change command when
the permissible circulating reactive current is not
exceeded.
This is because a tap-change command is always
issued if either the permissible voltage limit or the
maximum permissible circulating reactive current is
exceeded.

ParErr
ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel
error) and automatically switches a group of transformers
operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the
Manual operating mode.
To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap
difference (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is also
monitored by the error flag “ParErr”.
If the set max. tap difference is exceeded, the ParErr error flag
is set and the operation in parallel is switched to the manual
operating mode − providing that Sysctrl Bit 6 has been set.
Note
Bit 6 has been set on delivery!
Although the tap-change positions are not required for
operation in parallel the ∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S) and ∆cosϕ current-
dependent procedures, the functioning of the tap-change can
nevertheless be monitored if required.
Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating
in parallel (as mentioned above), because the regulation only
derives the regulation commands from the current and the
voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap-change position
of the transformer.
TapErr
The TapErr error flag signals errors in the transmission of the
tap-change position or errors in the coding/decoding of the
tap-changer. In the∆sinϕ procedure, TapErr is only locally
effective, i.e. it only affects the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring where the tap error has occurred.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or
a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position return signal, making it easier to rectify the error.
If a transformer is operating in parallel, the TapErr error flag is
set when - after a tap-change - the logically expected tap-
change position is not established within 1.5 x running time of
the tap-change.

REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
In general, every Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring expects the logically next step that follows a tap-
change increment. If the reaction of the system is illogical,
TapErr will be activated.
The following are considered to be tap errors:
1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction
Example: The Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring outputs a “raise” command and the tap-changer
reacts with a lower tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control
 Transformer Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the
tap-changer reacts with a higher tap-change.
Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have
been confused or the motor drive is behaving inversely.
Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring increases the ratio in the event of a
higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is to be expected that an increase in the tap-
change position results in a higher voltage, whereas a decrease
in the tap-change position results in a lower voltage.
Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals
2. No tap-change
Example:
The Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring outputs
a command, but the tap-change position does not change.
In this case, it must be assumed that either the position
confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective.

3. Illogical tap-changes
If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap-

15.9.5.2 The ∆I sin ϕ (S) procedure
Functional principle:
The relationship between the value of the reactive current and
the nominal power should be the same value IbA/SnA = IbB/SnB
= IbC/SnC = ... for each of the transformers A, B, C,... operated
in parallel!
If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero.
Area of application:
Transformers with different nominal powers which feed via one
busbar in the network. Both the switching group as well as the
short circuit voltages of the transformers should be as equal as
possible because deviations may cause a different load
utilisation of the transformers.
Prerequisites:
The permissible limits for different short circuit voltages are as
follows: 0.90 ukn-1  ukn  1.10 ukn-1
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the circulating reactive current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer; lb* = 1st
measurement value, lb** = 2nd measurement value). In the
case of transformers switched in parallel that have different
nominal powers, it is necessary to measure the permissible
circulating current for each transformer separately and to
enter it in the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring.
➪ Nominal power of the connected transformer.
➪ Group list of the relays/transformers (addresses of relays
which can be activated via the menu, ParaGramer or a
binary signal, that control transformers that are operating in
parallel on a busbar)
➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers
(SETUP 5, Add-On 6)
281
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
Permissible Icirc:
The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Operate all Relays in MANUAL mode and set all the
address/transformers that are in the group list to the tap-
change position, that causes approximately the same
terminal voltage. Note the value of the reactive current Ib (to
view in measurement transducer mode).
➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change
position.
➪ The change to the reactive current ∆Ib, the difference
between the new value (Ib** = 2nd measurement value) and
the old value (Ib* = 1st measurement value), is considered
to be the 1st approximation for the permissible “Icirc”.
Since the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring is
supposed to then reset the transformer to the previous tap-
change position, the permissible circulating current (permissible
Icirc) must be set to the following value.
i.e.: permissible Icirc  0.6 (lb** - lb*).
Oscillations in the regulation may occur for smaller values.

15.9.5.3 Master-Slave procedure / MSI procedure
Only transformer types with identical electrical (output, short
circuit voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions,
switching groups, etc.) and mechanical features (number of
tap-change positions, position of the deadband) are suitable for
MSI operation.
A different procedure should be used if one or more of the
parameters differ.
In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay for Voltage
Control  Transformer Monitoring receives the information
regarding the tap-change position of “its” transformer.
The recording and transmission of the correct tap-change
position is one of the mandatory prerequisites of the master-
slave tap-change equalisation procedure.
Every potential “candidate” must be listed in the group list with
its address in order to notify the system of the number of relays/
transformers that should take part in parallel operation.
Moreover, the tap-change of each Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring involved in the parallel-switching
operation must be switched on (menu SETUP 5, Add-On 1, F4)
before the parallel-switching operation is activated.
285
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
The MSI (master-slave-independent procedure) is a special
version of the master-slave program (see Parallel operation
using the “Master-Slave-Independent (MSI)” procedure on
page 173).
After the parallel-switching operation has been activated, the
master will regulate the slave, or - in the master-slave cycle - the
slaves, to the tap-change position which it itself is in. It then
switches to master-slave mode which causes all of the
transformers involved in the parallel-switching operation to
change taps simultaneously.
In the master-slave program, the slaves do not become slaves
until they have reached the tap-change position that was
specified by the master.
As long as they are not in the same tap-change position, they
remain in the slave mode.
This differentiation and/or change can also be followed in the
status line of the regulator.
The precondition for the master-slave operation is that each
Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring must be fed
the present tap-change position of “its” transformer by means
of a BCD, binary signal, mA signal or resistance value.
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Transformer group list
➪ Selection of activation, see chapter 9.
For operating the master-slave procedure it is mandatory that
the tap-change position is signalled correctly. For this reason,
error flags have been developed which immediately recognise
errors and then set the regulation to the MANUAL operating
mode if necessary.
TapErr
In the master-slave procedure, TapErr affects the entire group.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or
a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position confirmation signal making it easier to rectify the error.
If a transformer is operating in parallel, the error flag TapErr is
set when - after a tap-change - the logically expected tap-
286
REG-DA
REG-DA operating manual
changer position is not established within 1.5 x tap-changer
runtime. In this case the entire group will be switched from
AUTOMATIC to MANUAL.
In general, every Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring expects the logically next step that follows a tap-
change increment. If the reaction of the system is illogical,
TapErr will be activated.
The following are considered to be tap errors:
1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction

Transformer Monitoring increases the transformer ratio in the
event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is to be expected that an increase in the tap-
change position results in a higher voltage, whereas a decrease
in the tap-change position results in a lower voltage.
Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals
2. No tap-change

a command, but the tap-change position does not change.
In this case, it must be assumed that either the position
confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective.

3. Illogical tap-changes
If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap-

this as a fault in the tap-change signal and the TapErr flag is set.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or
a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position confirmation signal making it easier to rectify the error.
ParErr
ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel
error) and automatically switches a group of transformers
operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the
Manual operating mode.
ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two
transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the
specified permissible difference.
Note
The ParErr error flag is also triggered when the permis.
Icirc is exceeded.
An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not
desired. Otherwise only the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring that carried out the tap-change that
lead to the permissible maximum tap difference being exceed
will be switched over to the manual operating mode.
Note
If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company
headquarters.

15.9.5.4 The ∆cos ϕ procedure
Functional principle:
By means of the set cos ϕset, the ratio between the active
current I cos ϕ and the reactive current I sin ϕ of the transformer
(load currents) is set to the required value. Regulation is
executed in such a way that the cos ϕ of the transformer is
regulated to the set value cos ϕset.
The cos ϕ of the network is set on the Relay for Voltage Control
 Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring should ideally keep this value constant.
The constancy of the cos ϕnet value is the guage of quality of the
regulation. Deviations from the set value negatively affect the
regulation results because there is a small voltage change when
cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset (inequality between the present value of the
cos ϕ of the network and the set cos ϕset).
A self-adapting solution to the program can be implemented if
the net cos ϕ changes by a large amount (depending on the
time of day/year).
In this case the program continuously measures the cos ϕ at
the connection point. The setpoint value of the net cos ϕ is
adjusted after an integration over a selectable period of time.
This means that a network with multiple feeding transformers
that cannot communicate with each other can remain
approximately free of circulating reactive currents.
Area of application:
Transformers which are feeding on one network independently
of each other and where it is not possible to implement a bus
link between the assigned relays.
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Permissible reactive current difference  0.6 x (lb** - lb*)
➪ Limitation of the influence of the circulating current
regulation
➪ Setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset)

Although the tap-change positions are not required for
operation in parallel the ∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S) and ∆cosϕ current-

nevertheless be monitored if required.
Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating
a parallel-switching operation (as mentioned above), because
the regulation only derives the regulation commands from the
current and the voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap-
change position of the transformer.
TapErr
TapErr is only effective locally, that is it only affects the Relay for
Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring where the tap error
has occurred.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or
a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position confirmation signal making it easier to rectify the error.

15.9.5.5 The ∆cos ϕ emergency program
Functional principle:
In order to keep the circulating current regulation stable, even
during bus faults (E-LAN), an emergency program is
incorporated in the ∆I sin ϕ and
∆I sin ϕ (S) programs. This program is activated as soon as the
Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring recognises
a bus error
(E-LAN - Error). All relays connected to the E-LAN will return to
their previous program 10 seconds after the bus error has been
eliminated.
The ∆cos ϕ program is used as an emergency program,
whereby the regulation is not carried out to the entered cos ϕset
but to the last present
cos ϕSum of the network that was measured by the Relay for
Voltage Control  Transformer Monitoring (ϕSum = angle
between the sum current and the network voltage). Thus the
voltage regulation is not affected and the parallel operation of
the transformers also remains stable.
If the cos ϕSum of the network changes (an event that usually
occurs only slowly, not suddenly), the network voltage changes
only slightly, because the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring tries to find a compromise between the
minimum difference of the measured cos ϕSum of the network
and the present cosϕSum of the network as well as the minimum
difference between the command variable W and the actual
value X of the voltage.

Each active control level of the Relay for Voltage Control

If the auxiliary voltage is interrupted, the “WITH” self-conduct
setting causes the Relay for Voltage Control  Transformer
Monitoring to continue running in the AUTOMATIC operating

 Transformer Monitoring drive (in the case of
AUTO). As soon as the status of the REG_LR
device falls (0), the Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring will revert to the
AUTO/MANUAL operating mode which
applied 1s before the drop in the LR_STAT
signal. The Relay for Voltage Control 
Transformer Monitoring will then continue to
work as usual.
Special case: LR_STAT is not used, i.e. only
the input function LR_AH is activated. In this
case, it is always assumed that LR_STAT is
active.
LR_STAT If only the LR_STATUS input function is used,
the following applies:
LR_STAT active (1):
Remote operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via inputs or REG-L.
LR_STAT inactive (0):
Local operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via the keypad.
T60s/1s Outputs a 1 s signal as a pulse (relay) or lights
the LED every 60 s
COM2ACT Gives information about the status of the
COM 2 (1: busy, 0: not busy)

1 DELIVERY AT SITE
1.1 Transformer transportation and delivery confirmation at power station
1.1.1 Transformer transport
Transportation of transformer is that the transformer is transported to the user site from the manufacturer,
including unloading the transformer at user site. In general, crane or manual unloading way with hydraulic system
are used for this.
Only qualified transport company and stevedoring company can be employed for transportation and handling of
the transformer, to ensure safe transport and on-time delivery.
Impact recorder (crash recorder / acceleration recorder, as shown in Fig. 1-1) is an instrument used to monitor and
record vibration applied on the transformer in transport and handling process. Thus, transport quality of the
transformer can be assessed by the recorded impact data.
Fig. 1-1 Impact recorder
Impact recorder must be mounted on the transformer tank cover or on the top of the oil tank, which shall work
before shipment of the transformer. Even when the transport way of the transformer changes, impact recorder
must also work to monitor and record the data until the transformer reaches the client’s mounting site. That is, in
the entire process from shipment to the completion of positioning on the base, impact recorder must work
normally.
Transformer must be placed vertically, with its longitudinal direction (Y axis) consistent with the forward
direction of transport vehicle; when mounting the impact recorder, its longitudinal direction (Y axis) must be
consistent with the longitudinal direction (Y axis) of the transformer, to facilitate to record and analyze the impact.
Placement of the transformer on the transport vehicle is shown in Fig. 1-2.
Fig. 1-2 Placement of transformer on the transport vehicle
Transport forward direction

Transformer Manual
Page 5/53
Please note that the impact recorder must work before shipment of the transformer. Transport company shall
record the accurate shipment time, transport way change time, and base positioning time artificially, to investigate
the transport vibration time, place, and degree of shock.
Unless otherwise specified in the Contract or Technical Agreement, vibration applied on the transformer in the
transport process shall be within the safe range specified in the relevant standard.
1.1.2 Inspection and confirmation for delivery of the transformer at power station
1.1.2.1 Visual inspection
When the transformer reaches the delivery place, the transport company and receiving party shall visually check
that the delivered / received goods are free of damage. If necessary, all goods packages shall be photographed for
record. If the good packing box is damaged, abnormal or lacks of part, the transport company and receiving party
shall make the common witness and photograph them for record if necessary. The shipping mark and the packing
list examples are as shown in Fig. 1-3 (only for China domestic projects) and Fig. 1-4.
Fig. 1-3 Sample of shipping mark
Fig. 1-4 Sample of packing list
Transformer Manual
Page 6/53
To ensure safe and on-time delivery of the transformer, the transport company shall carry out the visual inspection
daily in the transport process, including package appearance, main machine charge pressure, binding fixation, and
running indication on the impact recorder.
Note: If found that transformer is damaged on appearance or suspected that the transformer is damaged, you must
inform the transport company, Zhongshan ABB and user immediately for this.
1.1.2.2 Report inspection for impact recorder
When the transformer reaches the delivery place, it shall be unpacked under common witness of receiving party
and transport company at site. At this time, the impact record shall be printed, and then signed by the transport
company and receiving party for confirmation. If there is an import record value out of the safe range, the
transport company shall inform Zhongshan ABB immediately for this.
1.1.2.3 Other checks
If transport weight and dimensions meet the requirement, transformer can be transported with all or most of oil. In
general, oil level in the oil tank shall be distanced 100mm from the tank cover, and dry air or nitrogen shall be
charged in the space between the oil level and tank cover during transportation. Before shipment of the
transformer, air pressure must be kept at positive pressure.
To reduce the transport weight, for large transformer, all transformer oil shall be drained out to charge with dry
gas (air or nitrogen), to keep the transformer and insulation layer dry. However, such large transformer must be
charged with gas by the manufacturer, with gas source equipped to charge gas additionally in the transport process.
For other non-large transformer required to be changed with gas for transportation, it shall be only charged with
gas once before shipment and shall not be equipped with gas source. In general, transformer must be kept under
positive pressure before shipment. For transformer charged with gas and air pressure gauge, please see Fig. 1-5.
Fig. 1-5 Transformer and air pressure gauge appearances
For transformer charged with oil for transportation, valves, flanges, casing and welding joints shall be checked for
leakage. If necessary, oil sample must be made for test analysis of water content and electrical strength, to
compare the test results with the factory test results before shipment.
For transportation with oil and there is a gas layer above oil level, if oil leakage is found, leakage position shall be
marked. In addition, those transformers shall be equipped with vacuum gauge / pressure gauge as possible, to
monitor gas layer pressure. Those gauges must be calibrated regularly according to the requirement, and shall be
marked according to the oil layer temperature reading. Although the transformer is under positive pressure
(20~30KPa) before shipment, the gauge will give negative pressure or over-pressure reading indication when the
transformer is under low-temperature or high-temperature environment. In worst case, the reading value may zero,
which indicates a leakage. If zero reading is shown on the gauge, oil sample shall be made for water content and
electrical test analysis (at this time, it is meaningless to find out the leaking point).
1.2 Packing list and transport manual
1.2.1 Overview
Transformer Manual
Page 7/53
To prevent transport damage, some accessories, such as casing, shall be removed from the oil tank for separate
package. Packing list describes how to pack and mark the parts removed from large transformer.
Shipped products contain “main body” – sealed transformer oil tank including iron core and windings, “parts
removed” from crate, and trolley etc. For the transformer with overall transport required without any
dismantlement, some description files can be omitted.
1.2.2 Packing list
Packing list includes several documents. This complete set of documents is placed in a separate box together with
other technical documents.
Each box or truck bed has its own packing list that includes a form involving many terms and a drawing to
indicate the mounting positions of all objects on the transformer. This form lists the name, quantity, literature No.,
and other similar items.
1.2.3 Total packing box
Parts are packed into the total packing box. Some parts that shall be assembled together continuously in assembly
process shall be packed into the total packing box, such as “casing” and “oil protection system”. Each object
required to be packed into a total packing box shall be placed into a group of boxes. In addition, a clear mark shall
be made on the packing list to indicate which assembly box available for those boxes.
The advantage of this packing system is to open the necessary box at the same time. The other boxes can be
opened when necessary. Therefore, parts can be well protected and arranged in order.
Packing boxes available for assembly shall be numbered generally according to the experience from company’s
Service Department in a recommended installation order at site. Of course, the different number order can be used
according to the different site condition.
In the end of packing list, you can find some relevant information about the new spare sealing gaskets used for
assembly, surface paint and documents locations.
1.2.4 Transport manual
Transport manual is a set of documents having drawing No. for different order, including transport inspection and
handling, which is available for overseas transport.
These files will be sent together with the shipping list. The other same files shall be packed into a protective bag
and then placed them into the oil tank on the transformer tank wall or into other marked place.
Some forms require to be filled in and signed by forwarder, transport manager and other transport representative
in transport process, and shall be submitted to Zhongshan ABB.
Instruction involves the hoisting and supporting of main body of transformer, various inspections and visual
acceptance, with two monitoring items as follows:
Transformer charged with slight positive-pressure dry air or dry nitrogen in the oil tank must be monitored in
transport process.
The other important monitoring task is to monitor the impact recorder that is generally mounted on the oil tank of
main body of transformer.
The final inspection is when the transformer is accepted at site.
1.3 Transformer unloading and movement
1.3.1 Check before unloading
Transformer Manual
Page 8/53
Before removal from the transport tool, check that the transformer is not missed or damaged in transport process.
During check process, the relevant transport list, packing list, transport map and other documents must be used for
this.
If no any transport damage is found, you can remove the transformer from the transport tool. If found, please
contact the representative of Zhongshan ABB for further guidance.
The missing or damaged part shall be recorded on the delivery list provided by the transport company. If hidden
damage is found, the transport company must be required to carry out inspection immediately.
1.3.2 Transformer unloading
Form many large transformers, the transport tools with lower center of gravity shall be used for road or rail
transport. Transformer must have transport supporting points or pulleys for removal from the transport tool, to lift
or slide it to the correct mounting position at site from the transport tool.
Note: Equipment damage or personnel injury may be caused if non-compliance with this guidance.
1.3.2.1 Lift transformer with crane
It is a most convenient method that the transformer is lifted from the transport tool with crane having the
sufficient lifting capacity. The enough long lifting rope is used to meet the lifting angle requirement specified on
the transport map or outline drawing, with lifting angel of less than 60º as possible, as shown in Fig. 1-6. Tie the
lifting rope on the lifting lugs (their position are generally located at four corners of transformer oil tank, as shown
on the outline drawing) of the transformer. Any place rather than specified lifting position is forbidden to lift the
transformer.
Warning
Lifting rope against any accessory (such as display instrument or casing) is forbidden

1.3.2.2 Unload the transformer without crane
If the appropriate crane is not used, the transformer shall be lifted with jack and then moved to the specified
position in a rolling or sliding method. Place the jack under the jack bracket of the transformer, as shown in Fig.
1-7. Furthermore, four jacks shall be placed simultaneously, to keep the transformer level in the jacking process
(jack directly placing on the base plate of the transport vehicle is forbidden).
Fig. 1-7 Jack supporting points
In the unloading and sliding process, vehicles must be well padded, to ensure that the transformer keeps stable in
the jacking process.
Warning
In the transformer jacking process, jack must be directly located under the reinforcing plate of jack
bracket on the transformer to prevent sliding out. Otherwise, major equipment damage or personnel injury
may be caused.
Lift the transformer about 20~25cm and then place the timber. For safety reason, space height error under the
transformer can not exceed 5cm. When the transformer is placed on the movable tool, timber must be located on
the its symmetrical point. Timber or rail size must exceed width of box bottom of the transformer, to prevent
damage to the transformer base in the movement process.
Place the transformer on the timber and then move the jack away. Built the pads near the transport tool, with
height consistent with that of timber under the transformer box, and then slide the transformer on the stacked
wood. For traction of transformer, only specified hole on the transformer can be used.
Warning
Traction rope contacting with the pipes on the transformer or cooling equipment is forbidden
Transformer Manual
Page 10/53
If timber requires to be removed, transformer must be lifted with jack at jacking position. Max. thickness of
moved timber is 5cm / layer. Lower the transformer on the next layer of timber, and then lift the transformer to
remove a layer of timber until the transformer lowers on the roller wheel or slide rail to move it on the foundation.

between two drums of not more than 1m. Otherwise, transformer box bottom may be damaged.
1.4 Monitoring of dry air during transportation and storage of transformer without gas
cylinder
Note: During transportation, sometimes nitrogen is used instead of dry air. If so, there is a clear tip on the
transformer oil tank. However, this guidance manual is also available.
Such transformer is not filled with oil and all parts have been removed during transportation. The transformer oil
tank is charged with the positive-pressure dry air. During transport and storage period of transformer, it is
important that its normal sealing performance is kept. Air pressure shall be monitored regularly. Operation
Instruction and Record Sheet are included in the Transport Manual.
1.4.1 Pressure gauge and gas charging valve
Pressure gauge and gas charging valve are installed under the protective cover with opening on it at side or top of
transformer, with transparent protective cover used for monitoring; or stainless steel cover can also be used. In the
latter case, re-sealing shall be performed after each inspection.
Reading on the pressure gauge is ranged 0~60kPa. Outlet of gas charging device is connected with hose with
5~8mm internal thread.
1.4.2 Pressure limit
Before shipment, air pressure in the transformer oil tank is 20kPa (at 20 ℃), which may changes with the different
environmental temperature, as shown in Fig. 1-10. There is a certain positive pressure even at -25℃; the pressure
is about 30kPa in the warmer climates.

3.1.3.1 Overview
When lifting transformer, moisture or dirties shall be prevented to enter into transformer or to make condensation
in the transformer.
Transformer must be installed according to the local and site safety regulation.
Warning
If transformer is transported with nitrogen filled, dry air must be used instead of nitrogen before entering
transformer. Before entering the transformer, ensure that the oxygen content in transformer shall be at
least 19.5%.
For nitrogen exhaust, it is recommended that all nitrogen shall be pumped out with vacuum pump, with dry air
used instead of vacuum.
Note
Before opening the man hole cover, check that the internal air pressure in transformer equals to zero.
Move the observation hole cover and then open the transformer, with only one cover opened once; it is required
that the opening place shall be covered with clean plastic cloth or waterproof canvas.
Before use, clean hose with dry air, to prevent moisture or dirties into it. Under the working interface in
transformer oil tank, connect dry air input device.
Warning
Unless oxygen content in the air in the transformer exceeds 19.5%, do not enter into the transformer oil
tank or inhale air in the transformer oil tank. If oxygen content is lower than 19.5%, coma, injury or death
may be caused. It is unsafe to transport transformer charging with air, so oxygen content shall be often
detected.
Transformer Manual
Page 18/53
Note
To prevent transformer from contamination, only man hole or part mounting hole can be opened. All other
openings must be covered with clean cloth or plastic film. This also minimize the loss of dry air.
When charging dry air into the transformer, sufficient air flow must be kept, to make air flow from the opening of
transformer oil tank continuously.
3.1.3.2 Casing installation
For transportation of large transformer, casing must be removed for this, to prevent damage to casing. Casing
leading wires shall be supported by temporary transport bracket on the flange sealing plate. If this method is used,
flange plate shall be marked. For removal of flange plate sealing board or transport cover plate, connection
between casing leading wire and temporary bracket must be removed.
The other method is to tie the casing leading wire with higher part of machine.
Note
If connection between temporary transport bracket and leading wire is not disconnected for removal of
cover plate, this may cause damage to leading wire and relevant parts. those shall be returned to factory for
repair and re-test.
For transportation, the removed casings shall be placed into the transport box and then taken out just before
installation. The requirements for temporary storage of casing shall be met. Before installation, casings shall be
cleaned thoroughly. Before installation, power factor and electric capacity shall be tested according to the Casing
Instruction.

can not meet the requirement, correct the contact ordering according to the tapping switch instruction.
3.1.3.4 Bushing current transformer
Check the current ratio and polarity of current transformer and check whether the leading wire is broken; check
the polarity of terminal connecting with the control box.
Warning
Transformer Manual
Page 19/53
If the current transformer secondary side open-circuit excitation is danger, the injury or even death may be
caused if touching with terminal. If the current transformer is not connected with load, the appropriate
terminal in the control box must be shorted
3.1.4 Sealing transformer
This process can be performed only when the internal operation requires to be performed in the transformer or
when the oil shall be drained from all transformers. After completion of installation of transformer, all tools and
working materials shall be removed, and transformer shall be sealed, with dry air or nitrogen charged to pressurize
to 20kPa or 3 PSI (0.2bar).
If transformer exposure duration expires or other problem occurs, the transformer may inhale moisture. At this
time, dew point shall be measured.
3.1.5 Iron core and clamp grounding instruction
Generally, two methods are used for iron core and clamp grounding: 1) by the box cover grounding casing; 2) by
special iron core and clamp grounding device provided by ABB, or by grounded under the oil tank directly.
Meanings of terminals of ABB special iron core and clamp grounding device:

3.2 Handling and quality control of transformer oil at site
3.2.1 Dispose the transformer oil at site
Transformer oil required by the equipment shall be generally supplied by the transformer manufacturer. Some oil
will be transported to the equipment use unit directly by the oil refinery or oil supplier. Oil may not meet the
quality requirement of original transformer oil after arrival at destination. Therefore, transformer oil may be
handled at site.
If necessary, drummed oil shall be filled into the clean oil tank. Before use of the tank, carefully check the oil tank
for cleanliness. Any remaining liquid shall be removed completely, and a small amount of fresh oil shall be used
for this, and the used cleaning oil shall be discarded. The oil tank internal wall shall be wiped with clean white
cloth. Add the oil into the oil tank through the vacuum oil filtering equipment from oil tank. However, not all oil

shall be pumped form the oil tank, with oil level of about one inch (about 2.5cm) kept, to prevent impurities or
moisture retained at bottom from pumping into the oil tank.
The key to handle oil at site is that impurities in the oil shall be filtered away, to remove moisture and gas from
the oil; power-frequency breakdown voltage of oil and moisture content and gas content in the oil shall meet the
requirements of the corresponding voltage grade oil of transformer.
3.2.2 Quality control of oil before filling
Quality of transformer oil before filling must meet or excel the requirement of GB standard or IEC60422, as
shown in Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 for details.

3.3 Add oil at site
Based on experience, add oil as soon as possible after completion of installation of transformer.
3.3.1 Add oil under normal pressure
Adding oil under normal pressure is that oil is added into the installed transformer that is filled with oil for
transport purpose (oil level close to box cover). The qualified transformer oil is added to the rated oil level
through the oil filter, with oil volume of not generally more than 16% of total volume of transformer oil. For oil
adding, the oil filter can be used according to the procedure shown on Fig. 3-4.
Transformer Manual
Page 22/53
Fig. 3-4 Oiling connection diagram
Qualified transformer oil is filled into transformer through oil filter form oil tank, with nearest distance between
oil filter and transformer kept as possible.
Add oil into the oil tank through the oil filter valve at top. Open the connection valve on the oil tank to exhaust air
from the breathing tube on the main body. Open all butterfly valves on the radiator. When oil reaches the standard
oil level, exhaust air from the radiator, lifting seat, casing, and gas relay and at last correct the oil level according
to the oil temperature – oil level curve.
After filling oil, pressurize flange port of the breather on main body for 24h leakage test. Before relief of gas
pressure, drain air from the oil tank, lifting seat, gas relay, casing, and radiator again.
3.3.2 Vacuum oil filling
In general, transformer charged with air for transport purpose shall be filled with oil under vacuum condition.
Such transformer oil tank is generally designed to support full vacuum. That is called “anti-vacuum”. For specific
degree of vacuum, please refer to main nameplate on the transformer.
Note: Although the transformer oil tank is resistant to vacuum, there are still some special parts to prevent being
damaged (such as insulation bucket between on-load tap changer oil chamber and main oil tank, some parts of
cooling device, and rubber bags of oil tank). Please read the part instruction and refer the main nameplate of the
transformer before vacuum treatment.
Vacuum equipment required to add oil shall be used to improve the degree of drying of the transformer insulation.
If the transformer is wetted accidentally in transport or on-site installation process, thermal oil cycle treatment
shall be performed on transformer after completion of oil filling.
3.3.2.1 Required equipments
For vacuum oil filling, high vacuum oil filter having oil constant temperature control shall be used, which shall
met the following requirements:
1. To reduce water in the oil, making water content of not more than 10ppm (50 to 80 °C); and degassed gas
content can not exceed 0.5% (add oil from box top) or not exceed 0.2% (add oil from box bottom).
2. Oil filter can remove particles with size of more than 5μm.
3. Oil filter oil filling speed can not be less than 2000 liters / hour.
4. Oil outlet flow temperature can reach 50-80 ℃.

5. Electrical strength of oil after treatment can meet the following requirements:
60 kV/2.5mm IEC 156
50kV/2.5mm GB/T 14542-2005
6. Vacuum pump shall have sufficient capacity (for large and medium transformer, 250m3 / h or 150 cubic feet
/ hour), to pump oil from the oil tank until the residual pressure is less than 0.1kPa (about 0.75Torr), or reach
0.03kPa (about 0.2Torr) as possible.
7. For vacuum measuring gauge, its measurement range shall be 0.02−1kPa (0.15−7.5Torr). If mercury vacuum
gauge is used, a mercury capture device must be used to prevent mercury into the transformer.
8. Anti-vacuum oil resistance hose, valve and fittings shall be connected with transformer oil tank, oil filter and
oil tank; oil filter valve shall be used on the oil tank (refer to Outline Drawing of transformer).
9. A transparent and anti-vacuum plastic pipe shall be used for oil level indicator for connection of instrument
and adding oil.
10. Oil tank (with desiccant breather)
3.3.2.2 Preparation before adding oil
After completion of installation of transformer, add oil as soon as possible. If not completed, adding the qualified
oil or charging dry air is also possible.
Oil pipes and accessories shall be first installed, which is in favor of adding oil as soon as possible. And then oil
immersion protection is performed on the iron core and windings in the instrument.
Although oil shall be added as quickly as possible, if measures are taken to prevent moisture from entering into
the transformer, the transformer can be stored for a long term. In the first week of long-term storage, most of
transformer oil has been drained out of the insulation material, not increasing vacuum treatment time.
3.3.2.3 Seals inspection during installation
In the on-site installation process, each process must be controlled. Furthermore, after each work is over,
transformer must be sealed, and charged with dry air with pressure slightly higher than atmospheric pressure
(when overnight or in bad weather). When work starts, air pressure under the relevant temperature must be
checked. For inspection of seals of transformer, leakage detector, soapy water or valve binding with plastic bag
(expanded due to leaked air) shall be used for this. The leak point can be successfully detected with those methods.
3.3.2.4 Vacuum treatment with final sealing test
Before oiling, final detection and vacuum treatment shall be performed for seals of the whole transformer
including cooling equipments. Before vacuuming and oiling, first check that the pressure relief device has been
mounted.
Oil conservator is not necessarily vacuum resistant. If not, valve located between oil conservator and main oil tank
shall be closed and oil drain valve of oil conservator shall be opened.
If oil conserver is vacuum resistant, when vacuuming, be sure to note that the same pressure is kept between both
sides of rubber bag or diaphragm, and ensure that ball valve on the oil conserver is at open state and that interior
and exterior of rubber bag are connected and keep the same pressure, as shown in Fig. 3-5.
Transformer Manual
Page 24/53
Fig. 3-5 Oil conservator with rubber bag
Note: On-load tap changer oil chamber shall be handled according to the special instruction of this switch.
For vacuuming, it is best to connect the on-load tap charger oil chamber with main oil tank.
Sealing test procedure as follows:
(1) Connect vacuum gauge with the appropriate valve on the oil tank.
For transformer that can not be vacuumed on the oil conservator, vacuum gauge shall be mounted on the highest
point on the tank cover or gas relay as possible, which can ensure that the transformer oil tank can be vacuum-
oiled until the pressure equals to zero before opening the butterfly valve of the oil conservator.
(2) Connect the vacuum pump with oil filter valve on the top of oil tank or breather valve on the oil conservator
(if vacuum-resistant).
(3) Vacuumize until pressure is less than 0.3kPa (about 2.3mmHg)
(4) Close valve on the vacuum pump and read the first pressure value P1 after one hour.
(5) After 30 minutes, read the second pressure value P2.
(6) Re-calculate oil volume based on oil weight specified on nameplate, with unit of liter.
(7) Calculation of leakage rate:
L= (P2 -P1) x V /t
L: Leakage rate (mbar. L/s)
P1: First pressure reading (mbar,1mbar=100Pa)
P2: Second pressure reading (mbar)
V: Oil tank volume (L, oil weight (t) /0.88*1000)
t: 30 minutes = 1800s
If calculated value L20, it can be considered that the transformer is well sealed.
Read the value again after 30 minutes, to confirm results.
(8) After completion of sealing test, vacuum pump shall continue to vacuumize until pressure is less than 133Pa
(1Torr). Before vacuum-oiling, vacuum shall be kept for a long time according to the requirement of Table 3-
6.
(9) If the required degree of vacuum can not reach or can not be kept, find out leak points for repair (see above
section)
This ball valve must be opened,
to ensure consistent internal and
external pressures of rubber bag

Under low temperature (machine temperature is less than 10℃), heat the machine and / or extend vacuum
holding time.
3.3.2.5 Add oil into the oil filling valve from lower part of oil tank
Before oiling, a piece of vacuum-resistant plastic hose shall be used to connect with valves at top and bottom as
oil level indicator, as shown in Fig. 3-6. Air in the oil hose between main oil tank and oil filter shall be drained as
possible. For oiling, vacuum pumping shall be performed continuously, and oil shall be added from valve located
at lower part of transformer. Oiling speed must be controlled to ensure that vacuum pressure is less than 133Pa
(1Torr).
For oil conservator that is vacuum-resistant and can be vacuumized together with main oil tank, when oil is added
to the specified oil level, correction must be performed according to the oil temperature – oil level curve (also
refer to the Instruction of oil conservator equipped with rubber bag).
For transformer that can not be vacuumized in the oil conservator, as oil conservator is closed when vacuumizing,
when the oil is added to the position near the tank box, close the valve of vacuum pump (to prevent transformer
oil into vacuum pump) to continue to add oil slowly. Observe vacuum gauge and stop oiling when the pressure is
close to zero. Open the butterfly valve of the oil conservator and close its oil drain valve. If rubber bag-type oil
conservator is used, when pressurized to 7kPa (1psi), open plug on the oil conservator to add oil until oil flows
from air relief plugs at both ends. Close air relief plug and relieve gas pressure in rubber bag. And then add oil to
reach the specified oil level.
Lift the seat and exhaust air from casing.

Connect the oil drain valve on the main conservator body with that on the on-load tap changer with hose, to make
oil slowly flow into the oil conservator of on-load tap changer automatically.
3.3.2.7 Add oil into the independent radiator
The independent and vacuum-resistant radiator unit (suspended or supported on the oil tank) can not be mounted
or its connection with oil tank can be disconnected when adding oil into the main oil tank. Same with main oil
tank, after passed the appropriate vacuum sealing test, add the qualified transformer oil into radiator through the
vacuum oil filter separately.
3.3.2.8 Re-add oil after abnormal interruption
If oiling stops due to equipment failure or other cause, or oil level is lower after oiling, the following correction
measures can be taken.
If oil level is higher than coil and the insulation material is still immersed into oil, oil can continue to add from
bottom.
If oil level is lower than coil and insulation material is exposed outside, be sure to re-add oil. First oil is pumped
out to re-check seals under vacuum state, and then re-add oil according to the above steps.
Note
If oil inhales with air, vacuumizing above oil level is very dangerous. Air will form bubbles in the oil and
those bubbles may be absorbed on the insulation system. Thus, those bubbles may be present for a long
time and then enter into the oil, to cause failure of insulation medium. Therefore, this situation shall be
prevented.
3.3.2.9 Hot oil circulation in transformer oil tank
If transformer oil tank together with iron core and coils are filled with oil under vacuum condition, there will no
any bubble in the insulation system to cause breakdown of voltage strength. In order to ensure that insulation is
completely immersed with transformer oil, the transformer oil in the oil tank can be circulated through oil filter.
Oil circulation of transformer main oil tank is shown in Fig. 3-7:
Fig. 3-7 Main oil tank oil circulation diagram
Transformer Manual
Page 27/53
Transformer can form a closed ring through connection of upper and lower oil filter valve and oil filter, with oil
circulation direction from oil filter to top of oil tank of transformer and then enter the oil filter through bottom of
transformer.
Temperature of oil flowing from oil filter shall reach 50-80℃.
Oil circulation shall be carried out continuously until oil volume in the oil tank is more than two times of total
volume (oil circulation time may increase under environmental temperature of less than 0℃: If environmental
temperature is ranged 0℃ to -20℃, three times of circulation time is required; if lower than -20℃, four times is
required).
3.3.3 Quality requirements for oil after filling
After transformer is filled with oil or oil circulation is over, oil sample shall be taken for test. For test
requirements, please refer to GB/7595 or values recommended in IEC60422.

3.4 Paint repair
Transformer shall be re-coated with paint if surface paint coating is damaged in the transport and on-site
installation process. The basic principle of paint repair is that the damaged paint coating is repaired, making it
same with the surrounding paint. It is optimal that paint repair range is as small as possible, allowing make-up
paint looks natural.
Manual spray is recommended for galvanized and stainless steel surfaces.
Transformer Manual
Page 28/53
3.4.1 Materials
Generally, the following tools and materials may be used in paint repair process: paint brush, sandpaper, paint
mixing container, stirring machine (rod), paint, curing agents, diluent, and degreasing agent (detergent) etc.
3.4.2 Cleaning
Remove the oil dirty from damaged parts and their nearby paint surfaces with diluted degreaser (detergent also
available), and rinse them with water. Oil removal range can be determined according to the actual site situation,
which shall not be less than three times of paint damaged range. Areas to be paint repaired and their surrounding
surfaces shall be cleaned.
3.4.3 Surface grinding
In order to improve adhesion of paint film, it is very necessary and important to grind the surfaces before paint
repair. Grinded damage parts shall be smooth and level, without any obvious concave-convex feeling through
visual inspection or hands. Grinding range shall be determined according to the actual site situation, and at least
50mm distancing from the damaged paint area must be grinded. After grinding, floating ash shall be removed.
3.4.4 Paint mixing
Before mixing paint, stir the paint with stirring machine (rod) or invert the container filling with paint and
forcedly shake it, making the deposited paint re-mix again.
3.4.5 Mix
Paint has two components (paint base and curing agent), so paint shall be fully mixed strictly in accordance with
mix ratio marked on the paint bucket before use. First, add the appropriate amount of paint into the paint mixing
container according to the required amount and then mix it evenly. And then, add the curing agent into the paint
for mixing strictly according to the specified mix ratio, with stirring operation applied when adding curing agent
to make them mix fully. If paint viscosity is too large, diluent shall be used, with max. amount of not exceeding
25%. The mixture shall be stirred fully when adding the diluent. Stand for 10 minutes after stirring, to make full
curing reaction between paint and curing agent, and to conductive to exhaust bubbles from paint. After mixing
paint, it shall be used within its service life. Life after mixing is as follows:
15ºC 25ºC 40ºC
4 hours 2 hours 45 minutes
3.4.6 Paint coating steps
Paint coating is divided into vertical coating, horizontal coating, tilt coating, and clear coating.
(1) Vertical coating. The paintbrush is dipped with paint and then brush it on the surface to be repaired. For
coating on the vertical surface, runs shall be prevented, as shown in Fig. 3-8.
Fig. 3-8 Vertical coating
(2) Horizontal oil. After coated with paint, the paintbrush will not be dripped with paint but coated the vertical
paint strip horizontally, as shown in Fig. 3-9.
Transformer Manual
Page 29/53
Fig. 3-9 Horizontal coating
(3) Tilt coating. Coat paint layer obliquely evenly, as shown in Fig. 3-10.
Fig. 3-10 Tilt coating
(4) Clear coating. When paint is coated evenly, remove all remaining paint from the paintbrush, and comb the
paint coating with brush tip to make the whole paint coating even and consistent shiny. Furthermore, the
transition area with old paint coating shall be smooth and level, and there shall be no any obvious brush trace
on the entire paint surface, as shown in Fig. 3-11.

4.2.2 Measurement of AC resistances of windings and casing
1. All positions of all taps shall be measured;
2. For three-phase transformer with voltage grade of 1600kVA and below, the difference between all measured
values of all phases shall be less than 4% of average value and of all lines shall be less than 2% of average
value; for above 1600kVA, less than 2% of average value for all phases and less than 1% for lines;
3. The difference between DC resistance of transformer and actual value measured in factory under the same
temperature shall not exceed 2%; resistance values at different temperatures shall be converted in accordance
with the formula 7.0.3:
R2=R1(T+t2)/( T+t1) (4.1)
Where, R1 and R2 refers to resistance values under t1 and t2 temperatures;
T – Constant used for calculation, with 235 taken for copper wire and 225 taken for aluminum wire.
Note: DC resistance of coil is closely related with its temperature. Therefore, for measurement of resistance, coil
temperature must be known. The mean temperature of transformer oil shall be consistent with coil temperature,
which is an average value of the oil temperature at top of transformer and that at bottom.
4 For different transformer structure, if the difference value exceeds the value specified in Clause 2, Clause 3
will be available, with reason given.
Warning
Transformer Manual
Page 33/53
Milliohm meter can not be used to measure coil resistance. At the moment of milliohmmeter disconnecting
from the coil, the induced voltage may cause injury to the operator.
4.2.3 Measurement of voltage ratios of all taps:
Measured voltage ratios of all taps shall be no significant difference with data specified on the nameplate provided
by manufacturer, and comply with the rules on voltage ratio; for power transformer with voltage grade of 220kV
and above, allowable error of its voltage ratio shall be ± 0.5% at rated tap position.
Note: The no significant difference can be considered as follows:
1. For transformer with voltage grade of less than 35kV and voltage ratio of less than 3, allowable tolerance
shall not exceed ± 1%;
2. For all other transformers, allowable tolerance of voltage ratio at rated tap shall not exceed ±0.5%;
3. When tap switch is located at rated and two limit tapping positions, the current of each phase shall be
measured while measuring the voltage.
If error calculation value caused by low measurement accuracy is within ± 10% and three-phase values are equal,
these measured values are considered acceptable. Measurement of current in powered coil is to find out interturn
short-circuit in coil. Current value of more than 500mA is invalid (typical 1-20mA). It must be noted that as the
magnetic circuits of side phase and intermediate phase are different, to cause that current of side phase is more 40-
50% than that of intermediate phase.
4.2.4Inspection of three-phase wiring group of transformer and polarity of leading-wire of single-phase
transformer
Check that three-phase wiring group of transformer and polarity of leaking-out wires of single-phase transformer
shall comply with the design requirements and marks on the nameplate and signs on the shell.
4.2.5 Measurement of insulation resistances of iron cores and clamp:
After installation, measure the insulation resistances of iron core and clamp (with external grounding wire);
Iron core must be grounded at one point; insulation resistance of shell shall be measured before oiling;
2500V megger shall be used to measure for 1min, without any flashover and breakdown.
4.2.6 Non-pure porcelain casing test;
1. Measure the insulation resistance of main insulation layer of casing; for capacitor casing with voltage of

4.2.7 Inspection and test of on-load pressure regulation change-over device;
1. Before powering on the transformer, perform the change-over test of the on-load pressure regulation change-
over device. Check the sequence of all actions of change-over contact of change-over switch, and measure
the transition resistance and switching time. The tolerances of the measured transition resistance value, three-
phase synchronous deviation, switching time, and switching time between forward and reverse directions
shall meet the technical requirements of manufacturer. If measurement can not be performed due to
transformer structure and its wiring, do not carry out this test.
2. If no any voltage applied on the transformer, at least two cycles are performed for manual operation and at
least five cycles for electric operation. Power voltage shall be 85% of rated voltage and above for electric
operation. No any blocking or interlock procedure occurs during operation, and electrical and mechanical
limits are normal;
3. After completion of cycle operation, DC resistances and voltages of windings and casing at all taps shall be
measured, with test results in accordance with 4.2.2 and 4.2.3.
4. Under condition that the transformer is powered on, on-load tap changer shall work electrically, with normal
action applied. During operation process, all side voltages shall be within allowable range of system voltage.
5. Before filling the insulation oil into the oil tank of change-over switch, its breakdown voltage shall be in
accordance with Table 4-2.
4.2.8 Measurement of insulation resistance, absorption ratio or polarization index of windings and casings;
Measure the insulation resistances between coils and between coil and ground, to ensure no any dirty on porcelain
casing, because the insulation resistance may be deteriorated by dirty. If calculated by system voltage, insulation
resistance of coil is more than 1Mohm/kV, which can be considered acceptable.
If measured temperature inconsistent with factory test temperature, the measured values can be converted to those
at the same temperature, as shown in Table 4-5;

Note:
1 K in table is a value that the measured temperature is subtracted by absolute value at 20℃.
2 Upper layer oil temperature shall be prevail for measurement.
If the temperature difference to be measured of insulation resistance is not listed in the table, conversion factor A
can be determined using a linear interpolation method:
A=1.5K/10
(4-2)
Transformer Manual
Page 35/53
Insulation resistance converted at 20℃ can be calculated by the following formula:
When measured temperature is above 20℃:
R20=ARt (4-3)
When measured temperature is below 20℃:
R20=Rt/A (4-4)
Where, R20 – Insulation resistance value converted to 20℃ (MΩ);
Rt - Insulation resistance value at measured temperature (MΩ);
1 If voltage grade of transformer is 35kV or above and the capacity is 4000kVA or above, absorption ratio
shall be measured. Absorption ratio shall not be obviously different with factory default, which shall not be
less than 1.3 under room temperature; if R60s more than 3000MΩ, absorption ratio can not be used for
reference.
2 If voltage grade is 220kV or above and the capacity is 120MVA or above, 500V megger shall be used to
measure polarization index for transformer. The measured value shall not be obviously different with factory
default, which can not be less than 1.3 under room temperature; if R60s more than 10000MΩ, polarization
index can not be used for reference.
Warning: In the test process, oil tank of transformer shall be grounded reliably.
4.2.9 AC voltage withstand test of windings and casings;
1. For transformer with capacity of less than 8000kVA and with rated voltage of winding of less than 110kV,
AC voltage withstand test shall be performed for terminal according to the Table 4-6;
2. For transformer with capacity of 8000kVA and above and with rated voltage of winding 110kV and above,

5 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
To avoid accident during operation, it is very important to carefully and regularly check and maintain the
transformer and its components. Transformer maintenance includes periodic inspection (patrolling inspection) and
preventive tests, to guarantee that the transformer can run safely and reliably at any time, with operation and
maintenance records made.
If transformer running unit does not have its own operation and maintenance procedures, we recommend that the
following operation and maintenance plan shall be used.
5.1 Periodic inspection during operation of transformer
Warning
During transformer maintenance process, if you want to close to the electrical terminal of transformer,
transformer must be powered off and terminal shall be grounded, otherwise it will cause serious loss of life
and property. Even if it is not required to close the electrical terminal, safety distance with electricity shall
be strictly kept.
Warning
Fan can be cleaned only when it stops.
Warning
As internal voltage of control box can cause personnel injury or death, control box must be switched off
before any internal operation.
Warning
When the oil pump is running, do not open or close any valve, otherwise it may cause equipment damage or
personnel injury.

Transformer Manual
Page 42/53
5.1.1 Transformer load size and ambient temperature are main factors to affect the top layer oil temperature of
transformer. The inching switches are set on the oil level thermometer and winding thermometer, to control
the starting and stopping of ventilation devices (such as fan) and to issue an alarm and tipping signal.
If you found that thermometer pointer is not moved for a long time, this means that the thermometer has been
damaged and shall be replaced or repaired. If found that temperature rises abnormally, check whether the valves
of cooling device can be opened normally, whether there is foreign object to obstruct the cooling and that the
cooling fan works normally.
Example for thermometer: Messko thermometer
Red pointer is used to indicate max. temperature
that have been reached, which can be dialed to
close to black pointer. This black pointer
indicates the current temperature.
5.1.2 Oil conservator of the transformer generally adopts rubber bag sealed structure and bellows expansion type
structure. For former, oil level gauge is used to indicate oil level, which is equipped with microswitch that
can issue a high or low oil level alarm. For latter, the view window can be used to directly observe oil level.
Oil temperature and oil level relation curves are set on the transformer. Displayed value on the oil level gauge
shall be close to curve, with 10% error allowed.
Transformer Manual
Page 43/53
Fig. 5-1 Example of conservator oil temperature and oil level relation – for rubber bag sealed oil conservator
Oil level gauge of oil conservator has high oil level alarm, low oil level alarm or tipping functions. If an alarm
issues, turn of the power for repair.
5.1.3 Generally, an even buzzing electromagnetic sound is issued during normal operation of transformer. If
sound changes, check the transformer carefully and report this situation to dispatcher on duty quickly and
contact relevant units, to determine and judge causes of abnormal sound. The common causes include loose
parts and DC magnetic bias. If from cooling fan or oil pump, check whether foreign objects enter and
replace the bearing or the whole unit if necessary.

5.3.2 Specification about oil adding and mixing
5.3.2.1 Specification about oil adding
a) The action process that the oiled electrical equipment has been filled some oil (run oil) but still requires to
add a certain amount of oil to comply with the oil specification of electrical equipment is named as “refilling
oil”. The oil present in the electrical equipment is named as “filled oil”; oil to be added is named as
“additional oil”. Portion that additional oil volume accounts the total oil volume of the equipment is named
as “additional portion”. Adding oil into the original oil is named as “refilled oil”.
b) The same oil source, same grade and same additives of original oil shall be applied for additional oil, with all
feature indexes of additional oil of not lower than those of added oil.
c) If the portion of additional oil is more than 5%, and especially when the feature index of added oil is close to
the running oil quality index limit specified in Table 34 or Table 35, oil sludge may be separated out from the
refilled oil quickly. Therefore, before adding oil, oil sample mixing test shall be performed according to the
rated additional portion in advance (DL/T 429.7—1991); only after confirmed that no deposition occurs
and that dielectric loss factor is not more than that of filled oil, oil refilling process can be performed.
d) If oil source or grade and type of additive of the additional oil are different from those of filled oil, in
addition to b) and c), aging test of mixed oil sample shall be performed according to the specified additional
portion in advance (DL / T 429.6-1991). Only when the quality of mixed oil sample passed the aging test
shall not be lower than that of the added oil, oil refilling process can be performed. If grade of additional oil
is different from that of originally added oil, mixed oil sample shall be tested to confirm whether the mixed
oil can meet the environmental requirement.
5.3.2.2 Specification on oil mixture
a) Mixing two or above types of oil that has not been added into the electrical equipment is named as “oil
mixing”.
b) For oil mixing requirement, refer to 12.1.2.1 “Specification on oil supplement”.
c) Mixing ratio of oil sample shall be consistent with the actual ratio. If not specified, 1:1 mixing ratio can be
used.

5.5 Transformer internal inspection
For installation of low-voltage casing of transformer, generally drain the transformer oil under the manhole at top
of oil tank. The operator body shall enter into the oil tank for this. For internal inspection of transformer, this
method can be available.
In case of some special situation, internal inspection of transformer may be required, such as oil sludge
sedimentation in the transformer, low insulation resistance; serious system failure;
If observation through manhole can not be for this, operator can enter the tank for inspection.
5.5.1 Oil discharge treatment for transformer
For replacement of accessories and seals or entering into the tank for inspection, part of all of transformer oil shall
be drained from the oil tank. As our company uses a rubber bag sealed oil conservator, when the transformer is
running normally, valve at top of oil conservator will close, so air only enters into the rubber bag through moisture
absorber.
For discharge of transformer oil, open the valve at top of oil conservator and air relief plugs at both ends, to allow
air into transformer for effective discharge.
Transformer Manual
Page 52/53
Fig. 5.1 Structure diagram of rubber bag sealed oil conservator,
Note
If valve at top of oil conservator and air relief plugs for oil discharge, negative pressure may occur in the
transformer, which may cause damage to rubber bag if serious.
If too much oil is discharged, the insulating part shall be exposed in the air. Therefore, we recommended that dry
air shall be charged into the transformer to replace the transformer oil, to prevent insulation from wetting. If
someone enters into the tank for inspection, dry air must flow in the oil tank in a circulation way.
5.5.2 Internal inspection of transformer
Warning
Only when the oxygen content in the air in the transformer exceeds 19.5%, someone can enter into the
transformer oil tank or can inhale air inside. If lower than 19.5%, coma, injury or death may be caused.

Internal inspection of transformer shall be carried out by special person. Special work clothes and shoes without
any button or metal pendant shall be used; wear clean gloves; lamps for flashlight having safety voltage shall be
used for lighting; all inspection tools shall be stored by a special person and shall be numbered and registered, to
prevent them left in the oil tank or machine.
Inspection may include the following content:
• Check whether phase partition and folding screen are damaged, free of discharge trace;
• Check that the leading wire is loose or moved, without broken strand or damaged insulation or whether there
is overheat phenomenon. Check whether leading wire bracket is free of deformation or displacement, or born
phenomenon.
• Iron core oil passage shall be unblocked. Silicon steel sheet shall be free of folded-edge or curled corner;
check whether the iron cores are grounded at multiple points.
• Check the magnetic shielding
• Oil tank shall be kept clean, free of rust.
In order to prevent the body from moisture, the inspection time of interior of transformer shall be within two hours.
Maintenance of Transformer Oil
1.Transformer drying and treatment of oil
If the transformers insulation is found to be moist it must be dried. In case of the humidity
balance between oil and insulation most of the humidity will gather in the paper insulation.
Therefore it is not enough for the oil to be dried but also the paper insulation must be
dried.
Dried oil soon becomes moist, if the insulating paper is not dry.
There are several different drying methods. Oil can be circulated through a filtering and
cleaning apparatus when the transformer is in operation or the transformer can be
disconnected from the network, drained of oil, and the cleaning and drying can be carried
out separately both for the oil and transformer. The transformer can also be dried by
vacuum treatment with the help of heat. Oil handling is best done by vacuum treatment
apparatus which also includes a filter.
The difficulty in all of these cases is the fact that humidity is diffusing very slowly from oily
insulations. Therefore the drying of moist, from an oily transformer takes generally several
weeks. Shorter drying time will be achieved if vacuum, necessary for steaming of oil, can
be applied.
1.1 Vacuum drying
Vacuum drying can be carried out in the transformers own tank, providing the tank can
withstand vacuum. The tanks of large transformers are generally vacuum-proof. The
suction pipe of the vacuum pump will generally be fastened to the connection flange of
the oil conservator located on the transformer cover. If the tank do not withstand vacuum,
the transformer is dried in a vacuum treatment tank specially built for this purpose.
Vacuum drying ensures that the transformer is heated up to a temperature of 60...90 °C.
During vacuum drying, the temperature of the insulation should be maintained at the
above temperature by supplying power at DC directly to the windings under vacuum. The
temperature of the transformer can be controlled by means of winding resistance
measurements. At the end of the drying operation the pressure of transformer must be
less than 150 Pa (approx. 1 torr ≅ 1.5 mbar). During the vacuum process while
simultaneously being heated, water is effectively evaporated from the transformer.
1.2 Drying control
The progress of transformer drying can be followed by controlling the pressure ingress of
water and temperature. Drying is complete when the pressure does not fall any more and
the ingress of water is slow.
It is very difficult to achieve a totally dry unit as a result of drying a moist oil-insulated
transformer. The deepest parts of the insulation tend to contain notable amounts of
humidity, which will later diffuse into the surface layers and oil.
The result of the drying can be checked by means of insulation resistance measurement.
The insulation resistance of the transformer depends both on moisture and temperature.
The insulation resistance is measured by means of teraohmmeter or DC-megger from
each winding to earth, while other windings are connected to earth. The insulation
resistance is read 15 and 60 seconds after the measuring voltage has been connected
and the meter has been in continuous operation. The ratio R R 60 15 : of the values
obtained in this measurement usually ranges from approx. 1.3 to 3 in dry transformers.
During vacuum drying the maximum test voltage for insulation resistance measurements
is 500 V as the voltage withstand level under vacuum is strongly reduced.
In case a final moisture value is required to be measured, it can be done with chemical
methods from special paper samples inserted into the transformer.
1.3 Filling the transformer with oil after vacuum treatment
When the transformer is proved to be dry after vacuum treatment, oil filling can begin. Oil
is slowly directed to the upper part of the tank and the highest possible vacuum is
maintained all the time. The filling speed is correct if the vacuum does not considerably
decrease during filling. When the windings and insulation parts are below the oil level, the
oil filling is interrupted. When deaerated oil is used, the vacuum must be maintained for
several hours so that all the residual gas is removed from the oil. The rest of the oil can
be filled normally according to item 6.2. For vacuum filling, it is advisable, whenever
possible, to use pre-treated oil from which air has been removed. Finally, it is
recommended to take a sample of the oil in the transformer to check the dielectric
strength.
For a high voltage transformer (rated voltage 45 kV or higher), which has been
transported filled with air or gas, the oil filling is carried out as mentioned above.
After filling with oil, the trapped air must be released after filling with oil in the following order:
- covers
- bushings
- gas relay
Releasing air can be carried out using the air release screws fitted in suitable places.
1.4 Transformer oil
The task of the oil in a transformer is to act as an electrical insulation on and
to transfer heat from the transformer's active parts into the coolers. Oil acts as a good
electrical insulation only as long as it is satisfactorily dry and clean. Oil gets dirty in use
and ages gradually. Therefore its properties deteriorate until it is no longer usable.
Therefore part of the operational reliability depends on the oil being tested regularly. By
testing the oil, faults which can possibly generate gas can be detected before they lead to
more severe damage. Oil handling, treatment and requirements of the oil have been dealt
with in a separate manual.

    2 with mounting flange.The condenser body is of series-wound structure, so as to achieve an evenly distributed electric field both along and perpendicular to the axis of the bushing. In order to achieve aimed electrical performance and sufficient performance tolerance, the condenser body is dried under vacuum condition for elimination of inside air and moisture, and impregnated under vacuum condition by high-quality transformer oil. 2.2 The bushing is of overall mechanically sealed structure. In order to achieve good sealing performance, between parts oil-resistant rubber gaskets are inserted which in turn are reinforced by strong springs. It is guaranteed that the inner insulation is protected against erosion by outside atmosphere, so as to ensure reliable and steady electrical performance for a long time. 2.3 The air side porcelain is of glued structure, so as to achieve high-level mechanical anti-deformation strength. 2.4 Test tap and oil sampling device are fixed on the mounting flange. The sampling device is used for taking out oil sample from bushing. The test tap is insulated from mounting flange and used for measuring dielectric loss and partial discharge of the bushing. During operation the test tap can be earthed through connecting with the mounting flange by tightening a protective cap on the test tap. 2.5 There are two ways of connection between the bushing and HV conductor in the transformer: draw leadand bottom connection .

Maintenance The bushing has good electrical and mechanical performance. With proper maintenance, the bushing shall serve clients satisfactorily. The bushing must be used according to the stipulated conditions. Furthermore, the following should also be taken into consideration: 7.1 To ensure the sealing performance is the key element to guarantee the long life time of bushing. 7.1.1 During operation the oil level of oil gauge must be often checked. The oil level shall be adjusted to be neither too high nor too low. If oil level is too high, the pressure inside bushing shall become extraordinarily high, resulting the possible leakage of oil; in this case, the oil can be discharged to appropriate quantity through

    11 the sampling capon the installation flange. On the other hand, if oil level is too low, it is impossible to guarantee safe operation; in this case, the oil can be filled to appropriate quantity through the injection cap on the oil conservator. 7.1.2 During operation the transformer oil inside bushings should be sampled and tested periodically. Usually one year after being put into operation, the oil should be tested and the test result be compared with leave factory values. If the test result is within normal range, it can be concluded that the sealing performance is reliable. Later on the oil should be sampled and tested every 3~5 years or longer. If performance of oil decreases considerably, some new oil should be sampled and tested again and the tanδ of bushing should also be measured (positive sequential). Procedures of sampling of oil are as follows: first, open the injection cap on the oil conservator, so as to avoid outside air entering into the bushing through the installation flange in case the air pressure inside is lower than that outside of the bushing. Second, clean the sampling cap on the installation flange, open the cap with a wrench, rotate the special sampling mouth into the cap hole, tighten the mouth after it reaches the inner block, and finally the transformer oil shall flow out. Third, reverse the above procedure after enough quantity of oil is taken. And last, close the injection cap on the oil conservator. Note: Vertisal stripes are seen where is no oil.

    12 7.1.3 The bushingis an overall sealed product. Therefore, after sampling, all the disturbed sealing parts should be tightened to guarantee its sealing performance. Otherwise some moisture may enter into the bushing and threaten the insulation of bushing, resulting lowered performance, or even vicious accidents such as blast of bushing in serious cases. 7.2 At the factory, all bushings are subjected to dielectric loss test at indoor temperature. Maximum permissible value of factory-measured dielectric loss is 0.5% at Ur and actually measured value on each bushing is recorded on its certificate of conformity. The factory values, however, may differ from, reading obtained from the same bushing when installed on the transformer. Thus it is recommended that the first reading taken after installation to be the reference value for future comparison. 7.3 The test tap should be earthed securely. There is a test tap on the installation flange. During test the protective cap shall be taken off from the test tap to achieve insulation from installation flange; at this time, dielectric loss angle tanδ and partial discharge can be measured. During operation the protective cap shall be tightened on the test tap, to guarantee secure earthing together with installation flange. During operation the test tap is forbidden to be opened. 7.4 The outer insulator of bushing shall be cleaned periodically according to site operation condition. 7.5 Before electrical performance tests (withstand voltage, partial discharge and dielectric loss tests, etc.), the bushing shall be put on a support vertically to maintain for more than 24h..

    13 If the bushingis to be returned to factory for repair, please contact the Company. The bushing is forbidden to be disassembled without the consent of the Company; if it is necessary to be disassembled, the Client shall do so after consent from the Company is obtained. 8. Removal and Storage of Bushings 8.1 When the bushing is removed from transformer after tests, please wipe off the oil on the bottom porcelain surface. If the oil is left unwiped, it may be misunderstood that there is oil leakage in the bushing. 8.2 The bushing is packed in wooden cases, which shall have sufficient mechanical strength to protect the bushing against any damage during transportation. There shall be several locating wooden plates inside the case to make sure that the pressure is evenly distributed on the bushing. The head of the bushing shall be inclined about 3○ above horizontal level. The wooden case is sealed by wooden plates at six sides to protect the bushing. If the bushing is to be put back in previously used cases, the latter shall be checked carefully, and when necessary, be reinforced according to the above-mentioned packing requirements. Before packing, please cover the bushing with temporary protective coat. 8.3 The bushing shall be put in a ventilated room and shall be kept away from the source of heat and fire. It may be put in a wooden case, or on a support for storage.

Repair and then install it if it is damaged or distorted. 5.2 Pay attention to checking every joining part to find out whether it has became loose, to find out whether the clearance of impeller and casings is well-distributed and to check whether there is a collision between them, if these occur, adjust the position of motor until the clearance is well-distributed. 5.3 The base of the fan must be joined naturally with the ground, and can not be compulsorily jointed with screw, otherwise the fan will be out of shape. 5.4 The protection grid mounted on the fan mustn’t be too dense. The distance between blast inlet and the other structure (such as wall) must be more than 1.5D, otherwise, the aerodynamic properties would be reduced and the noise level would be increased. 5.5 Before you have installed the fan successfully, try to revolve it to test and then put it in use formally. 5.6 If the fan is left unused for a long time, an when it is used again and these is an abnormal sound in revolution, carefully check every joining point to find whether it is still fixed firmed and whether the vanes have been badly abraded and whether the surface of wire is intact. If there is some thing wrong, please repair and adjust it or replace the damaged part in time. 5.7 Wires should be connected correctly after installing the fan successfully. The connection box should be airproofed to avoid water leaking into it, which can arouses short circuit of electromotor. 5.8 Export of the fan junction box should install waterproof cable connector, in order to prevent flood water from entering the junction box and leading to the burning motor. 6. Portage and preservation 6.1 Pay attention to put it up and lay it down gently. Convey and place it according to the mark on the package of the fan and never upend. 6.2 Protect the package from strong vibration to avoid damaging the package and the product. 6.3 The depositary should be ventilate, dry, clean and far away from corrosive gas. Make sure to protect the package from rain during conveying and preserving. 6.4 Do not open the package immediately if not use it for period of time. Open the package and check the product if the package is mangled. 7 Ordering notice 7.1 To order the product, indicate the specification and type and requirements in detail.(Performance parameter of production and the mode of installation etc.) 7.2 If you have special requirements, please indicate it at length. 8 Once the installation of the cooling fan is different and the requirement of the leader factory is not the same, beside we provide above, we also supply other type of installation (Such as side hang type).

    6 4. Operating principle 4.1Mechanical operation principle (fig.4) Normally the motor drive unit is operated electrically, but it might be operated manually during inspection or maintenance. Motor drives big drive wheel 3 via small drive wheel 2, then force will be transmitted to drive shaft 4 through which the tap changer is operated. Through cog wheel, turning force will be transmitted to gear 101 via cogs on drive shaft 4, which revolves tap change indication wheel 104 and planet gear 106, then position indication wheel 108 turns and displays present position. The position transmitter 121 will produce position signal at the different positions. Operation counter is controlled by indication wheel 104 and acts once after every tap change operation, operation times will be accumulated and displayed. 4 sections of green field appearing in the inspection window symbolizes that mechanical-operated cam switch is released. The contactor K3 is short-circuited to brake motor and finally one tap change operation finishes. As the motor drive unit runs to limits of end position 1 or N, the position indication wheel 108 continues to rotate and makes limit block in wheel trough to push end position lever 115, then disconnect electrical limit switch corresponding to position 1 or N, finally preventing motor drive unit from overrunning position 1 or N, however, in the event of failure of electrical limit switches, the motor will continue to run towards mechanical limits, in this case, end position lever mechanism will push lock latch of mechanical clutch of gear mechanism to buckle the clutch, as a result, manual shaft 8 stops running, realizing a double protection for motor drive unit by electrical limit switch and mechanical limits. Operation sequence of limits protection should be followed by A. Electrical limit switches (S16/S17) of control circuit acts B. Electrical limit switches (S6/S7) of motor circuit acts C. Lock latch of mechanical clutch 4.2 Electrical operation principles This circuit is composed of motor circuit (main circuit), control circuit, protection circuit, indication circuit and heating circuit, for details please refers to appendix 5. 4.2.1 Motor circuit Motor terminals U, V, W are connected to terminals X1/1, 2, 3 of power supply L1, L2, L3 via contactor K3, K1/K2; limit switch S6/S7, microswitch S8 and motor protective switch Q1.

The fixed contacts on position transmitter are connected to terminals on socket according to decimal system. 4.2.6 Heating circuit Heating resistor is permanently connected to power supply L1 and N via terminal X1/4, 5. 4.3 Operation 4.3.1 Control Motor control is achieved by using step-by-step principle, namely, once one tap change operation starts up, it will complete automatically and irrevocably regardless of whether the buttons S1-S4 are pressed down (except emergency stop) or not, next operation has to start from initial position where red mark, centered in green field on the indication wheel 104, stops at the center of the inspection window. Essential conditions for operation: The motor protective switch Q1 must be closed. Line voltage applied on incoming line should be AC 380V, 3 phases, and phase voltage applied on L1, N should be 220V, 50 Hz. Note! S38 must be in “local” position when S1 or S2 is operated, and also it must be in “remote” position when any one of S3, S4, or S9 is operated. The operation goes towards “N” position. 4.3.1.1 Start-up Press down button S1, N/O contact S1:13-14 closes and meanwhile S1:21-22 opens, then current flows through,Q1(13, 14),S8(S,V), S38(2,1),S2(21,22),S1(13,14),K20(52,51), S16(C,NC),S6(S,V), K2 (32, 31) via X1/6, exciting coil of contactor K1 is energized, which make auxiliary contact K1 (5, 6) closed, and then coil of K1 realizes self-locking via N/C contact K20 (72, 71). 4.2.4 Motor operation indication circuit 24 23 X1-26 X1-25 K2 24 23 K1 X1-20 /1.G6 380V/3PH/50Hz /1.F6 X1-19 H3 V2 U1 V1 W1 M1 ~ 3 M 51 41 31 21 52 42 32 22 1 5 3 2 6 4 K3 K2 K1 T W 2 1 4 3 2 4 1 3 S7 R U S6 W T U R W U T R S8 Q1 6 4 2 5 3 1 3 2 1 X1 I> I> I> N L3 L2 L1 4.2.6 Heating circuit L- X1-4 2 1 R1 L+

When the indication wheel turns round one more section, cam switch S13 is actuated to close S13(NO1,NO2), followed by energizing K20 coil, then K20 (52,51),K20(72,71) open, and K20(14,13), K20(34,33) close, meanwhile S13 (NO1, NO2) opens and K20 will be still energized and kept closed via K3(13,!4),K20(34,33). 4.3.1.3 Stop Cam switch S14 (C, NO1) will open when one tap change operation finishes, K1 is de-energized, and N/ O contact K1 (13, 14) opens, then K3 is also de-energized, thus disconnecting main circuit, finally braking contacts K3 (21-22, 31- 32, 41-42, 51-52) are closed to stop motor M1 running. Meanwhile K3 (13,14) is disconnected, causing K20 de-energized, however, if button S1(S2) is pressed down, K20 will be self-locked through its contact (13-14) or (23-24), which prevent K1 or K2 from being energized again via K20 (51-52) or K20(61-62), but if S1(S2) is not pressed down, then K20 coil will be de- energized.

Count the number of section that red mark deviates from the center of inspection window; g. Repeat the said operation in reverse direction; h. If recorded number of section is different for both directions, re-adjust connection of the motor drive unit and tap changer as per half of difference of two numbers. For example (see fig.7) 1) Tap changer stops at position 10, turn towards position 11 using hand crank until diverter switch acts, record number of section that red mark gets to the center of window, for example it’s 7 ; 2) Tap changer stops at position 11, turn towards position 10 using hand crank until diverter switch acts, record number of section when red mark gets to the center of window, for example,it`s1.5; 1/2 (7-1.5) = 2.75 sections, choose 3 sections 3) Turn towards position 11 till red mark arrives at the center of window; 4) Uncouple the vertical shaft between motor drive unit and tap changer; 5) Continue to turn 3 sections towards position 12; 6) Connect them again; 7) Re-turn towards position 11 till diverter switch acts, then record the number of section that red mark gets to the center of window, the number of section is 4.5; 8) Repeat the said operation in reverse direction, the number of section is 4 section; Finally the number difference of sections for both directions is basically symmetrical, remove the hand crank, and then motor drive unit should be switched to automatic operation mode. 6. Commissioning 6.1 Operational tests Before applying power supply on the motor circuit, control circuit and auxiliary circuit, check the voltage, current and signal output whether they are identical with required values. 6.1.1 Check step-by-step operation Press down push-button S1 or S2, motor drive unit will stop automatically after one tap change operation.

    20 6.1.2 Test formechanical end stop device Tap changer can move to last position within its tap change range, but can’t approach its limit position, while motor drive unit can turn to its limit position by manual operation, about 2-3 revolutions before mechanical end stop is actuated. Turn hand crank reversely to release mechanical end stop device till red mark gets to the center of window, namely, it’s the last position. Repeat the said process in another limit position of motor drive unit. 6.1.3 Tests for electrical limit switch As motor drive unit comes to one end position, further electrical operation can not make motor run towards same direction, while reverse operation can be done. Repeat the said process to check another electrical limit switch. 6.2 Transportation of transformer If the motor drive unit is needed to dismount off transformer due to size when transformer is transported to commissioning site, tap changer and motor drive unit must be set at adjustment position. For its re-installation, please refer to item 5 6.3 Put into operation at site Before putting transformer into operation, operation tests for tap changer should be carried out according to item 6. 7. Maintenance Because the transmission gear is a maintenance-free poly-V belt drive and ball bearings of motor are sufficiently supplied with grease, a regular maintenance is not necessary. It is recommended to inspect following items regularly: ——Waterproof property of housing ——Performance of resistance heater (heater and thermostat) When tap changer is maintained, besides inspections for motor drive unit, others inspections regulated in 6.1 also should be carried out. NOTE! 1) The number of operation position should correspond to that of on-load tap changer. 2) The auxiliary contacts of motor drive unit, motor protective switch are excluded from power frequency withstand voltage test.

    9 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 1Warnings and Information The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is exclusively designed for implementation in systems and equipment for electrical energy technology. Only trained experts are permitted to carry out all required work. Experts are persons who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of these types of products. Furthermore, experts have qualifications which correspond with the requirements of their field of work. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring left the factory in a condition that fulfils all relevant safety regulations. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the following instructions and warnings in this operating manual must be observed. ❑ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has been designed to comply with IEC 10110/ EN61010 (DIN VDE 0411), degree of protection I and was tested according to this standard before delivery. ❑ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be earthed via a protective earth conductor. This condition is fulfilled when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is connected to an auxiliary voltage with a protective earth conductor (European power supply system). If the auxiliary voltage power supply system does not have a protective earth conductor, an additional connection must be established from the protective earth conductor terminal to earth. ❑ The upper limit of the permissible auxiliary voltage UAUX may not be exceeded, neither permanently nor for a short period of time. ❑ Before changing the fuse, separate the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring completely from the auxiliary voltage UAUX. The use of fuses other than those of the indicated type and rated current is prohibited. ❑ A REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring which displays visible damage or clear malfunctioning must not be used and has to be secured against unintentionally being switched on.

    10 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual ❑Maintenance and repair work on a REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with an open door may only be carried out by authorised experts. Warning signs Please familiarise yourself with the nominal insulation voltage of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring before connecting the device. Ensure that the voltages are connected via a disconnecting mechanism, and that the current path can be short circuited if there is a device fault to enable problem-free device replacement. When wiring, please ensure that the conductors are either bound short or kept sufficiently short so that they cannot reach level 2 or 3. If a fault occurs (connection becomes loose), no line that carries a voltage that is dangerous when touched (> 50 V) or line to which a nominal isolation voltage larger than 50 V is assigned, may come into contact with the circuits in levels 2 and 3. !

Therefore, up to three current transformers are available. Voltage regulation generally only requires a single-phase connection (one delta or phase voltage and one line current), because it may be assumed that the network conditions at the transformer are approximately symmetrical (feature M1). If a more precise measurement of the outputs (P, Q, S) is required, it is possible to switch over to the Aron circuit. In this case, two voltages and two currents must be connected (feature M2). The third current input is reserved for special cases, which must be coordinated before the device is delivered.

    30 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Auxiliaryvoltage (terminals 21 and 22) The protective earth must be connected first, because the REG-DA is a device with degree of protection I. A plug-in shoe (6.3 x 0.8 mm) is provided in the lower part of the housing for connecting the protective earth. The auxiliary voltage is supplied via the twin connector block (terminals 21 and 22). Two types of power supply units are available: Therefore, please ensure that the intended supply voltage corresponds to the auxiliary voltage of the device as stated on the printed nameplate, before connecting. Feature H0: Both direct and alternating voltages may be connected. Ranges: 88 V ... 220 V ... 280 V DC 85 V ... 110 V ... 264 V AC Power consumption: < 15 VA Feature H1: 18 V ... 60 V ... 72 V DC Power consumption: < 10 W The auxiliary voltage, and thus the power supply of the device, is protected by a T2L 250 V microfuse. The fuse holder can be opened with a screwdriver. The device is supplied with a spare fuse. Flat-plug connection for protective earth

    31 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Note Pleasenote that the fuse catch should never be screwed on without having a fuse inserted, because otherwise it is difficult to open the fuse holder. 3.5.1.2 Control voltage (Terminals 2, 5 and 8, 10) The control voltage must be connected to the terminals 2 and 5. Any voltage from the three-phase current network can be used as the control voltage. The type of voltage (delta or phase voltage, UL1L2, UL2L3, UL3L1, U1N, U2N, U3N) must be communicated to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring via the menu (SETUP 5, F2). The permissible nominal application range of the control voltage ranges from 60 to 140 V and is expressed in terms of delta voltage. If there is a connection between the phase and N, the nominal application range of 34.6 to 140 V becomes available. Please note that a single-pole high-resistance earth connection affects L1 like a voltage dip if only a phase voltage (e.g. L1N) is available for measuring the actual value of the voltage. If a phase voltage is used as the control voltage rather than the recommended delta voltage, you must pay attention to the behaviour if a single-pole earth fault occurs. In high-resistance faults, situations may occur where the voltage appears to be too high or too low. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring generally switches itself into standby mode for low resistance faults. Strongly distorted signals may also be connected by means of a complex filtering of the measurement voltages and the measurement currents. If feature M2 is used, voltage UL1 must be connected to terminal 2, voltage UL2 to terminal 5 and voltage UL3 to terminal 8. i.e.: UL1 → 2 UL2 → 5 UL3 → 8

    32 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Voltageinputs U1 and U2 are both available for triple-wound applications. In each case, this is a special version for the triple-wound application, each of which is described separately. 3.5.1.3 Current inputs (Terminals 1, 3 and 4, 6 and 7, 9) A connection to a power supply is not required for normal regulator operation. In many cases, however, the voltage must be raised and/or lowered according to the respective load. It is necessary to connect the current transformer I1 (1 and 3) to carry out this additional task. However, even without current-dependent regulation, we recommend connecting the current, because this means that network can be measured and displayed in the measurement transducer mode. Ensure that the correct connection (k, l!) is used when connecting the current transformer. Two current transformers must be connected for carrying out measurements in arbitrarily loaded three-phase networks. The third current can be calculated on the basis of both of the measured currents. The third current connection (4, 6) is reserved for special cases, which will be described separately. The changeover from 1 A to 5 A or vice-versa is accomplished via the menu. The use of hardware such as a bridge or jumper is not necessary. Caution! Please observe that the line(s) must be short-circuited before releasing the lines on terminals 1/3, 4/6 and 7/9.

The following modes are available: ❑ Regulator Mode ❑ Measurement transducer mode ❑ Recorder mode ❑ Statistics mode (Monitor mode) ❑ ParaGramer mode Regulator Mode ➪ The “F1” key is used to select the “Regulator Mode”. The display indicates the set setpoint value in V (kV) and as a percentage of the nominal voltage, the momentary actual value, the value of the permissible regulative deviation and the present tap-changer position of the tap-changing transformer. The present deviation of the setpoint is also indicated on a scale (by an analogue pointer) with a bandwidth of ± 10%. ➪ The colour of the scale’s pointer changes from transparent to black if the specified permissible regulative deviation is overshot or undershot.

Note If “Actual Value” is displayed in capital letters, i.e. “ACTUAL VALUE”, then the “MEASUREMENT VALUE SIMULATION” is active! (see Page 146). Measurement transducer mode ➪ The “F2” key is used to select the “Measurement Transducer Mode”. When the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out measurements in the Aron circuit (feature M2), a second measurement transducer screen can be selected to display the measured values of the three-phase current networks loaded according to the requirements of the user. Note In the measurement transducer mode, only the reactive current I sinϕ of each transformer will be displayed. However, it is not possible to determine on the basis of this display which share of the current pertains to the load and which pertains to the reactive current. The second measurement transducer screen can be selected by pressing either the or key.
  • 175.
    54 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Thethird transducer screen may be selected by pressing either the or key. If the device is switched in parallel, it is advantageous to display the circulating reactive current as well. The circulating current Icirc provides information about the share of the current that is “circulating” in the parallel-switched transformers and not taken up by the load. The quasi-analogue scale illustrates the relationship between the circulating reactive current “Icirc” and the permissible circulating reactive current “perm. Icirc”. If the permissible Icirc is 50 A, the circulating reactive current Icirc is actually -100 A and the value -2 is shown on the scale. If the circulating current becomes zero, the quotient will also become zero and the pointer will be positioned in the middle of the scale. However, generally speaking, this ideal situation can in practice only then be reached when the parallel-switched transformers exhibit the same electrical features. Recorder mode ➪ The “F3” key is used to select the “Recorder Mode”. As standard, every Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is equipped with a DEMO recorder (feature: DEMO in the lower left corner of the grid). Above the grid, the set permissible regulative deviation is displayed by means of two black arrows. In this manner, the recorder display is capable

In addition to the value of the present voltage and the tap- changer position (in the lower left-hand corner), the display also indicates the permissible regulative deviation (black arrows above the grid) and the change of the voltage over a period of time (past values). Within the grid, the present voltage is the value which intersects the lower line of the two parallel border lines at the top of the grid. Independent of the selected feedrate speed (F4), the memory stores values at a constant rate of 1 second. Each 1 second value is composed of 10 100ms values. Seven scale divisions are available in total on the display. Thus, a maximum time range of 7 x 10 minutes (70 minutes) may be shown on the screen. The shortest time range with the biggest optical resolution is 7 x 14 seconds (98 seconds). Apart from the voltage, the recorder can also record the current and the angle ϕ. The tap-changer position and the setpoint value with tolerance band are always recorded as well. In the second recorder menu (F3-F3), the desired mode can be selected via the menu item “Number of channels” (F4). It is possible to change modes at any time without loss of data. Displaying the recorder data In the first recorder menu (F3), the menu item “Dual Display” (F4) can be used to switch the recorder display between the one- channel display of U and the two-channel display. The left channel is always reserved for the control voltage U. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers a selection of measurement quantities for the second channel (see 2nd recorder menu). The time axis is the same for both curves. Only the resolution of the left channel can be changed using the “dx” (F5 key); the scale of the second channel remains the same.

    56 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Derivedvariables from the recorder data In the first recorder menu (F3,F3), the menu item “MMU display” (F5) can be used to switch the display of variables derived from the present cursor value (at the very top) on and off. I and S are displayed as numeric values if only two recorder channels (U + I) have been selected (second recorder menu (F3, F3, F4)). If all three recorder channels (U + I + ϕ) are activated, then I, ϕ, P and Q will be displayed as numeric values. It is also possible to search for an event in the second recorder menu. If both the date and the time of a certain event are known, a specific day and time can be selected in the “Time Search” submenu. After returning to the recorder main menu (by pressing F3 or Enter), the recorder lists the selected time and displays all of the electrical measurement values as well as the corresponding tap-changes. Statistics mode ➪ The “F4” key is used to select the “Statistics Mode”. The total number of tap-changes made since the counter was last set to zero is shown on the display. Thus tap- changes made under load and tap- changes made with a load of less than 5% of the nominal current In (1 A or 5 A) are distinguishable. Changes made under load are additionally displayed for each tap- change. Note If the tap-changer is working under load (I > 0.05 ⋅ In), a double arrow >> indicates the present tap-changer position. If the load condition is not fulfilled, the present tap- changer position will be indicated by a single arrow “>”. In conjunction with the recorder, the statistics mode provides valuable information regarding the controlled system.

    57 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Theparameters “Time factor” and “Permissible regulative deviation” can be used to reach an optimum between the voltage stability and the number of tap-changes. However, this relation cannot be calculated mathematically as it is subject to the individual conditions at the respective feeding point. ParaGramer ➪ “F5” selects “ParaGramer mode”. The ParaGramer is a tool used for automatically preparing parallel connections and for the one-line display of the switching status. The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel and one-line diagram. The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual transformers in one-line graphics and can be loaded by pressing the F5 key in the main menu. The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica (positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) into each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring by means of binary inputs. On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can independently recognise which transformer should work in parallel operation with which other transformer(s) on a busbar. The system treats busbars connected via bus couplings as one single busbar. As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding on busbar “b”. If special crosslinks are needed between the busbars, we recommend that you contact the headquarters of our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG for assistance, since it is not possible to describe all the options in this operating manual. The “crosslinks” feature is depicted in the graphic.

    63 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5Commissioning The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is a complex device with many functions. This variety of functions necessitates a comprehensive operating manual. It was considered whether it was better to fill the individual screenshots with all the theoretical information, or whether it is better to separate the two parts by summarising the background information and guiding the reader through the individual screens. We finally decided to offer two separate parts with the corresponding cross-references. However, in order to make it as easy as possible to start the parameterisation without constantly having to jump between two sections, we have inserted a commissioning section which enables a standard voltage regulation to be carried out step-by- step. Thus we based the description on the most important functions of voltage regulation. A summary of the limit values with a short explanation and links to the appropriate chapters can be found on Page 85 Whilst the parameterisation can be implemented using the WinREG parameterisation program, this chapter only deals with parameterisation using the device keypad. The parameters that are particularly important for voltage regulation will be briefly mentioned in seven steps and the parameterisation explained. Further settings that are required in special cases can be found in chapter 7. After applying the operating voltage, the REG-DA will indicate that it is in regulator mode. Other modes, such as measurement transducer mode, recorder mode, statistics mode and ParaGramer mode, can be selected at any time.
  • 185.
    64 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Thereforeit is important to realise that all modes run parallel to each other in the background. If one selects the recorder mode (for example), the regulating tasks and all the other parameterised task settings will also naturally be processed. Press MENU and then use the keys F2 ... F5 to select the desired mode. The individual operating modes are briefly described below. In total, six SETUPs are designed for the parameterisation. You can scroll through the individual SETUPs in the following manner: Starting at the main menu (regulator, measurement transducer, recorder, statistics or ParaGramer), press MENU to enter SETUP 1. Repeatedly pressing the MENU key selects SETUP 2 to SETUP 6. If you are already in one of the SETUPs, you can reach all the other menus by pressing the ← and → keys. Caution! Please observe the “Warnings and Notes” on Page 9 without fail!

    65 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5.1Regulator mode After the auxiliary voltage is applied, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring indicates that it is in regulator mode. The important parameters for assessing a regulation situation are shown in this display mode. The tap-changer position and the present regulative deviation are shown in addition to the actual voltage value. The present regulative deviation is shown in quasi-analogue form. If the pointer is at “0” the actual value is the same as the setpoint value. If the regulative deviation is within the tolerance range the pointer is transparent. If the regulative deviation is outside the permissible regulative deviation the pointer changes to black. In this way one can judge the present condition of the controlled system at a glance. An alternative display with additional information − the compact display − can be selected using the F1 key. In addition to the actual value and the tap-changer position, the setpoint value in V (kV) and % as well as the permissible regulative deviation in % are shown in this display. If you prefer the large display, simply press the F1 key again.

    66 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5.2Measurement transducer mode Press MENU and then select the measurement transducer mode using the F2 key. Various important measurement quantities are shown in this mode. The voltage, current and frequency are independent of the connection of the measurement quantities, whereas the outputs can only be displayed correctly when the measurement sources are correctly entered. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with feature M1 only gives exact measurement values in equally loaded 3-phase networks. In this case, the measurement transducer emanates from a symmetrical loading of all lines, and measures only one current and one voltage. For this reason, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must know the source of the voltages (L1L2, L2L3, L3L1) and currents (L1, L2, L3) in order to be able to take the angle between the input quantities into consideration. If measurements are to be taken in a 3-phase network loaded according to the requirements of the user, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be equipped with feature M2. Note The I x sin ϕ current is particularly important for parallel- switching transformers.

Each second a measurement value that is the arithmetic average of 10 100ms measurements is stored in the memory for the voltage. The memory capacity is more than 18.7 days, although this time is only valid when each value measured per second differs from the value recorded the previous second. In practice the memory usage is such that at least a month of data can be saved. The saved values can either be recalled using the keypad, or transferred to a PC and analysed there using the WinREG parameterisation program (e.g. with Excel).

The load condition is fulfilled if a current is measured that is 5% larger than the entered nominal value. (Example: for In = 1 A → 50 mA; for In = 5 A → 250 mA). Under load conditions every tap-change is recorded and displayed. A double arrow before a particular change indicates that the transformer is running under load and is on the displayed level. A single arrow signals that the transformer is idling.

The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual transformers in one-line graphics and can be loaded by pressing the F5 key in the main menu. The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica (positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) into each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring by means of binary inputs. On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can independently recognise which transformer should work in parallel operation with which other transformer(s) on a busbar. Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as one single busbar by the system. As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding on busbar “b”.

One limit is determined from the acceptable voltage tolerance specified by the consumer, the other is defined by the tap- change increment of the transformer. The minimum voltage range can be calculated using the following equation: Xwz: Permissible regulative deviation If a regulative deviation Xwz that is smaller than the tap-change increment of the transformer is selected, the controlled system can never reach a stable condition; the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will continue to increment in steps. Please select SETUP 1, F1. The permissible regulative deviation can be increased using F1 and F2 and decreased using F4 and F5. The parameter is confirmed by pressing Enter.

    72 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5.9Time behaviour The golden rule for multiple feeding points is: a calm network As a consequence, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring should be set up in such a manner that as few switching operations as possible are carried out. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be calmed by increasing either the permissible regulative deviation (Xwz) or the time factor. However, this course of action has its limits when the interests of the recipients are violated in an impermissible manner (voltage deviations are too large or last too long). The standard defined reaction time tB must be changed when using the time factor option to influence the number of regulation events. The default algorithm dU · t = const. ensures that small regulative deviations may be present for a long time, before a tap-change is triggered, whereas large deviations are rectified more quickly. The time factor has been included as an option to influence the reaction time tB of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The time factor is set to 1 as factory default. The time tB is multiplied with the time factor and the result is the reaction time tv of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The value of the time factor must be multiplied with the reaction time taken from the diagram. tv = tB · time factor

    74 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Confirmyour choice by pressing Enter. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers several time programs. In addition to the default-selected dU · t = const. integral method, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers a fast integral method, a linear method and a further method working with a fixed times that can be found under the name CONST. If CONST is selected, all regulative deviations that lie outside the tolerance band and that are smaller than the selected permissible deviation are rectified within time T1. For larger regulative deviations, however, the time will be T2. Example: The selected permissible regulative deviation is ±1%. Reaction time T1 is valid in the range from 1% to 2%. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out tap- changes according to the time selected for T2 if the regulative deviation is larger than 2% (calculated from the setpoint value!).

Example: The curve below gives a time of 42 s, the time within which the fault will be rectified. High-speed switching can be used to reduce this time. If, in the above example, the high-speed switching limit were set to 6%, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring would switch the voltage back to the permissible range of the voltage tolerance band as soon as this limit is reached and the selected time delay for high-speed mode has passed.

If the running time of the tap-changer is specified, other control signals can be prevented from being output when the tap- changer is running. Old tap-changing devices in particular may occasionally respond with an EMERGENCY STOP signal, if a further control signal is input at the same moment that the tap-changer is changing to a new position. The running time of the tap-changer can be entered in menu Add-On 1. Please select SETUP 5, F1 If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is operating in high-speed switching mode, two seconds will be added to the entered running time. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will not issue a new control command until this entire running time has elapsed. Note This function will be carried out by the (PAN-D) voltage monitoring unit if the unit is present in the regulating system. Extension: Two further settings in SETUP 5 enable the running time of the tap-changer to be monitored.

    82 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5.14Inhibit low limit Scenario: The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring operates with a 110 kV / 20 kV transformer. Problems on the high voltage side cause the voltage to break down slowly. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring rectifies this and increases the tap-changes of the transformer, to stabilise the voltage on the secondary side at 20 kV. As soon as a fault on the primary side is eliminated, the primary voltage jumps back to the original voltage value. However, since tap changes in the direction of a higher voltage were carried out as a result of the voltage breakdown (amongst other things), the secondary voltage is so high that problems on the secondary side can no longer be precluded (protective relay triggered, etc.). Requirement: If the voltage that is to be regulated falls beneath a particular limit due to a fault on the primary or secondary side, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring shouldn’t undertake further attempts to raise the voltage. This requirement can only be achieved using the inhibit low limit. Please select SETUP 3, F5. F1, F2 and F4, F5 can be used to enter a percentage value beneath which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring does not try to rectify a voltage breakdown.

    86 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Permissibleregulative deviation Xwz: Since the transformer mounting ratio of a tap-change transformer cannot be continuously changed, there must be a voltage range surrounding the setpoint that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring cannot affect. This range is designated as the permissible tolerance band or the permissible regulative deviation. The lower limit of the tolerance band depends on the tap- changing increments of the transformer. If the tolerance band is set so that it is smaller than the tap- changing increment, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring “hunts” the setpoint value and repeatedly steps away from the tolerance band in both positive and negative directions. If, on the other hand, the entered tolerance band is too large, it could lead to complaints from consumers because the voltage fluctuates over a large range. Setting range: 0,1 ... 10% The entered percent value always refers to the selected setpoint value. Further information: see "Permissible regulative deviation" on page 109. Trigger (G1): “Triggering” describes an upper absolute voltage limit, which causes the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to stop carrying out tap-changes. The limit is described on the display in plain text and if required it can also activate a relay that either triggers a protective device or simply delivers the information to the control panel. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring operates in the normal manner if the voltage is below the limit. The setting range of the trigger is 100 ... 150 V (can only be entered as a secondary value!). The voltage is to understood as the output voltage of the voltage transformer on the secondary side of the transformer and can only be entered as an absolute value.

    87 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Reason:If the “trigger” limit were based on the setpoint value (for example) and several setpoint values were used, the trigger limit would “wander” with the setpoint. If, however, there is a fixed limit for the voltage above which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is stopped and a protective element is triggered, it is an absolute value rather than a relative value. Further information: see "Trigger inhibit high (highest limit value of the voltage)" on page 119. Backward high-speed switching (G2): If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, a particular time program is activated. The time program defines the amount of time that must elapse before the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs the first (and possibly further) control commands. All time programs are based on the assumption that large voltage deviations are rectified quickly and small deviations are rectified slowly. The backward high-speed switching limit defines the voltage above which the time program is ignored and the transformer is regulated back to the voltage band in high-speed time by the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The voltage band is defined by the “permissible regulative deviation” parameter. The high-speed time is defined by the running time of the transformer per switching process. If a tap-change in operation lamp is connected, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring waits until the lamp has turned off before the next tap-change occurs. If there is no tap-change in operation lamp connected, the switching frequency is determined by the maximum time TC in operation parameter (SETUP 5, F1, F2).

If the voltage exceeds the >U limit then all “raise” commands are surpressed.

If the information of the E-LANs (LAN-L, LAN-R) is to be routed to the serial interface, for example to achieve modem transmissions on the “E-LAN level”, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be set to LAN-L or LAN-R. A more detailed description has been omitted here since these types of connections should always be carried out with the support of our company. “PROFI” is always the right setting for the COM, if a PROFIBUS- DP connection should be implemented. In this case, an external PROFIBUS-DP module is controlled via COM 1 or COM 2. The setting ECL+HP enables output which is generated via a background program to also be output via COM 2. Example: Based on the regulated voltage or the tap-changer position, a specific text is to be output via COM 2. In this case, ECL+HP is to be selected, since all output which is generated via a background program is normally output via COM 1.

Example: The setpoint should be 100.2 V. This value should be simultaneously declared as the 100% value. How to proceed: Using the keys F1, F2, F3 and F4 set the double-underlined value to 100.2 V. Use the F3 key to set the 100.2 V value as the 100% value and confirm the value by pressing “RETURN” .

    112 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 7.3.2Further setpoint values Proceed in the same way for the 3rd and 4th setpoint values. When switching from one setpoint value to another via a binary input, background program or control system, tap-changing commands will also be output at the same time until the voltage lies within the tolerance band around the new setpoint value. The time interval between two successive tap-changes is determined by the maximum time TC in operation (SETUP 5, Add-On 1). If the regulation is carried out using the PAN-D monitoring unit, the maximum time TC in operation must always be set directly on the PAN-D when both units (REG-DA, PAN-D) are connected via E-LAN. Note The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can regulate outputs (P or Q) as well as voltages. This situation will always occur if a phase-shift transformer is used. For this reason the PQCTRL feature must be loaded. Setpoint 3 will then become a P setpoint, and setpoint 4 will become a Q setpoint. The individual setpoints can be selected via the binary inputs, via the COM 1 and COM 2 interfaces or via one of the available protocols (IEC ...., DNP, MODBUS, SPABUS, etc).

The description beings with Add-On 1 and ends with Add-On 6. 7.14.2 Maximum time TC in operation (motor-drive-in operation-time) The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be used to monitor the running time of the motor drive (tap- changer). If the set maximum time has run out, a signal will be triggered. This signal can be used to switch off the motor drive. This protects the tap-changer against passing through all cycles. If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is used, the maximum time of the tap-changer in operation can only be set via the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit (refer to the PAN-D operating manual). To do this, first enter the maximum running time of the tap- changer per tap in “Add-On 1”. The maximum time TC in operation signal can then be assigned to an input (refer to input assignments (binary inputs) on see "Input assignments (binary inputs)" on page 142). Finally, the message “tap-changer interrupted” can be output via a relay output (refer to see "Relay assignments" on page 143). There are two ways to parameterise the relay: 1. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F” outputs a continuous message when the specified maximum time is exceeded. 2. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F+” outputs a temporary message when the specified maximum time is exceeded. Note Measure the running time of the tap-changer and enter a value for the maximum time of tap-changer in operation that is two to three seconds bigger.

    127 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 7.14.3Manual/Automatic The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers two different options for switching between the Manual and AUTOMATIC operating modes. In addition to the options already described above, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can also naturally be switched using the serial COM interfaces or the IEC-, DNP-... protocols. If you wish to use a serial connection, it is always advisable to contact our headquarters. Flip/Flop switching behaviour In the “E5: PULSE“ setting, a pulse at input E5 causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”. A further pulse at this input causes it to change back from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL”, i.e. each pulse changes the operating mode. Bistable Switching Behaviour In the “E5-A/E6-H” setting, a pulse or continuous signal to input E5 causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”. Further signals to this input do not change the operating mode, i.e. the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring remains in the “AUTOMATIC” operating mode. The changeover from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL” is carried out via a pulse or a continuous signal to input E6. Further signals to this input do not change the operating mode, i.e. the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring remains in the “MANUAL” operating mode. Õ Õ

    128 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 7.14.4Tap-changing OFF “OFF” is selected if no signals are available for displaying the tap-changer position. Two dashes “--” appear on the display in regulator mode. ON If BCD-coded signals are available for displaying the tap- changer position, please select the “ON” position. In the regulator mode, the display shows the tap-changer position. Note If an error occurs (BCD signals are present and the tap- changer parameter is set to “ON”), please check the connections and the selected “input assignment”. If the software switch for the tap-changes is set to “ON”, yet there is no tap-change information available, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring displays tap-change 0. Such a display could cause operating personnel to come to wrong conclusions. Please also observe that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring automatically checks the correctness of the tap-changer position. However, the tap-changer must be turned on. The error message “TapErr” is displayed to indicate incorrect tap-changer settings. TapErr is activated if an illogical tap-change is signalled. TapErr is only intended to be informative, since the correct display of tap-changes is not essential for the regulation of individual transformers. Õ Õ

    129 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Ifthe TapErr signal is assigned to a relay which has set the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to the manual mode, regulation can be interrupted when a tap error is detected. Further information can be found on Page 184 and Page 295. 7.14.5 Self-conduction of the operating mode WITH WITH” stores the operating mode of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring in the event that the auxiliary voltage fails. This means that after the voltage returns, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will be reset to “AUTOMATIC” if it was in “AUTOMATIC” operating mode before the voltage failure and will be reset to “MANUAL” if it was previously in “MANUAL” operating mode. WITHOUT WITHOUT” does not store the operating mode if the auxiliary voltage fails. This means that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will always be in the “MANUAL” operating mode after the voltage returns. 7.14.6 Current display (of the transformer)

Selecting “LEVEL” ensures that the parallel program remains activated as long as the signal level is sent to the selected input. „PULSE” switches the activation ON and OFF. The type of parallel program activation described in this section is the simplest type of activation. However, this can often not meet the requirements of actual use. For this reason, we request that you primarily refer to the information in Chapter 9. 7.14.11 Up/down relay on time If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs a tap-changing signal, the standard switch-on time of the tap-changing pulse is 2s. Older motor drives in particular often need a longer switch-on time in order to accept the signal.

However, the automatic changeover only takes place when the “AUTO lock when E-LAN fault occurs” is active. Furthermore the “AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs” function ensures that it is only possible to change back to “AUTOMATIC” when the fault has been rectified or when the “AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs” is switched from ON to OFF. 7.14.13 Setpoint adjustment The setpoint value is normally entered via the menu. If the setpoint value has to be changed for operational reasons, it is possible to increase or decrease it using the left (lower) or right (raise) arrow keys, without having to use the more lengthy corresponding SETUP method.

Furthermore, the transformer mounting ratio of the external voltage transformer and current transformer and the nominal value of the current can also be chosen. Since the connection point of a Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can generally be considered to be equally loaded, all power values of the network can be calculated using just one voltage and one current value. Prerequisite: information specifying the external conductors between which the voltage is measured and in which conductor the current is measured is provided to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. 7.15.1 Transformer mounting voltage (measurement voltage) It is not necessary to assign the voltage and current connections to a certain position in the network (for example, U12 and L3, etc.) in order to be able to use the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will always measure the correct angle relationship regardless of between which external conductors the voltage is measured, and regardless of the line in which the current is measured, so long as the actual connection is transmitted to SETUP 5, transformer mounting. If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is connected to an asymmetrically loaded network and correct measurement values are still needed for both the active and the reactive power, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring may also be operated in the Aron circuit (feature M2).

Select “TC in operation” using the arrow keys and confirm by pressing Return. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring interprets the signal at E1 as a “tap-change in operation” signal and compares it to the “maximum time TC in operation” setting in Add-On 1.

    150 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9Parallel Operation of Transformers with REG-DA Parallel switching of several transformers must be prepared in advance. In general, the taps of the transformers regulated in parallel must first be adjusted to each other and the circuit breakers and disconnectors have to be put in the corresponding position. Then, all of the Relays switched in parallel must be informed of these switching statuses. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is provided with a program section which is capable of independently recognizing the switching statuses of the individual transformers and can automatically group the transformers according to these switching statuses so that only those Relays feeding on one joint busbar work in parallel. It is, of course, also possible to work in the standard way in which the parallel-switching operation is manually activated. Both procedures require specific preparations to be carried out on the device in advance. The preparations to be carried out are described in the following sections: ➪ Preparing manual activation ➪ Preparing automatic activation Before selecting the regulation procedure, please check the boundary conditions of the regulation. Are the transformers the same or differing models? Is it possible to connect the individual Relays with each other via E-LAN, or is the distance between each feeding point too large making connection impossible? Should the transformers be regulated so that they all have the same tap-changer position or should the circulating reactive current be minimised? One of the regulation procedures listed below can be chosen depending on the answer:

    151 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Allthe procedures are available in the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as standard. Master-slave Master-Slave-Independent (MSI) ∆I sinϕ (minimisation of the circulating reactive current) ∆I sinϕ (S) (minimisation of the circulating reactive current, taking into consideration the nominal powers of the transformers) ∆cosϕ The ∆ cosϕ operation is an available regulation procedure which is always used if the Relays which are switched in parallel cannot be connected to each other via the bus (E-LAN). If a bus error occurs during parallel operation according to the circulating reactive current minimisation procedure (∆I sin ϕ or ∆I sin ϕ (S)), the complete combination switches to an emergency regulation which also works according to the ∆cos ϕ procedure. If a malfunction occurs, each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring uses the last measured cos ϕ and attempts to both maintain the voltage within the specified voltage band and to approach the last measured cosϕ as closely as possible.

    154 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.2Programs for parallel operation and their prerequisites Caution! It is particularly important to note that only REG-DA Relays for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitorings with the same firmware version can be operated in parallel. Otherwise errors can occur during operation. The current firmware version can be displayed using the Relays keypad. Please press the menu key until you have reached SETUP 6. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring status page can be selected using F5. The firmware version is displayed in the first two lines, e.g. V2.01 on 01.02.04. If different versions are installed, please download the current firmware version from our website (www.a- eberle.de or www.regsys.de) or telephone us. 9.2.1 Preparation The following description defines both the preparations to be carried out for manual activation as well as those necessary for automatic activation of parallel switching. For demonstrating each individual operating step, a system has been selected which consists of three transformers feeding on one busbar. The master-slave procedure has been chosen as the parallel program. If another program with a different number of transformers is selected, please adapt each operating step correspondingly. In order to permit the master to check at any time whether the slaves are working correctly, it is necessary that each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is supplied with the tap-change position of “its” transformer and that the bus connection (E-LAN) is activated between all the Relays.
  • 276.
    155 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.2.1.1Explanation of terminology Preparing manual activation “Preparing manual activation” refers to the sequence of consecutive switching operations which prepare for the parallel operation of several transformers (adjusting the tap-change position, adding circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings) as well as the actual manual activation of the parallel regulation. In this case parallel regulation can be activated via the menu (SETUP 5, Add-On 6) or via a binary input signal. Preparing for automatic activation “Preparing automatic activation” refers to the simultaneous and automatic activation of the parallel operation of several transformers as a function of the logical position (off/on) of all of the circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings. This type of preparation can be carried out by feeding a busbar replica (positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) to each one of the Relays involved in the regulation. On the basis of the switching statuses, the regulation system can automatically recognise which transformer is supposed to work with which other transformer(s) on one busbar in parallel operation. The transformers are then regulated according to the selected regulating procedure.
  • 277.
    156 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.2.2Preparing manual activation The following steps are required to set up the parallel-switching of 3 transformers according to the master-slave procedure. If two transformers or even four transformers are required, please adapt the procedure correspondingly. Note In this chapter parameterisation will be carried out using the membrane keypad of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. Of course, the individual operation steps may also be performed using the WinREG parameterisation software. 1. Step Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode. 2. Step Assign station identification. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code (address) <A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 2 is given the station code (address) <B>, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code <C>. Code input: Select SETUP 6, F1, F2. A to Z4
  • 278.
    157 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Thisaddress may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or decremented using the F4 and F5 keys. Confirm your selection using <Enter>. Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each station code may only be assigned once. If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D. To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!) and assigns it to the PAN-D. Example: If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to the PAN-D. If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the code <B9>, it will assign the code <C> to the PAN-D. 3. Step Establish the connection to the bus. To start the parallel operation, all participating Relays must be able to communicate with each other via E-LAN. This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus) is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure. Once the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled, the bus link must be parameterised [see "E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)" on page 101].

This setting is only required for the master − which usually has the address <A> − because all of the other stations will automatically be declared as slaves when the group list is input (see Step 5). Slaves are to be assigned the parallel program “none''. Õ Õ

If the group list can be entered in the manner described, then as a rule it can generally be guaranteed that the bus link will work properly. It is not necessary to input a regulative influence for the selected procedure. 6. Step Parallel switching activation There are several different ways to activate the parallel- switching operation: ➪ Activation via the keypad ➪ Activation via the binary input (level-controlled) ➪ Activation via binary input (pulse-controlled) ➪ Activation via IEC ..., RS 232, ...
  • 281.
    160 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Activationvia the keypad Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6 Pressing down the F2 function key activates the parallel- switching operation. Select “ON”. Parallel operation is active in the automatic mode as long as the “Parallel Progr. Activation” is “ON”. If you prefer to activate the parallel-switching operation via a binary input instead of via the menu, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers two options: The parallel operation can be activated by via a level-controlled or a pulse-controlled input. “Level-controlled activation” means that the parallel-switching operation is activated as long as the potential is at the selected input. It will be switched off as soon as the potential at the selected input drops off. In “pulse-controlled” activation, the parallel operation is switched on by the first pulse. The next pulse switches it off and so on. If the parallel-switching operation is to be deactivated using a binary input, please carry out the following procedure: Select the trigger input. All freely programmable inputs with the exception of E5 and E6 may be used as the trigger or release input. Õ Õ

If the present status of the parallel switching operation (ON/ OFF) is to be fed back to the potential-free contact, please select a free relay (R3 to R11) using the F4 key in the SETUP 5 menu and also assign the Par Prog parameter to this relay. If the parallel operation is to be activated or deactivated in a level-controlled or pulse-controlled manner, please select the preferred activation method (level or pulse) in SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6 using the F2 key. 7. Step Switch the circuit breakers, bus ties, bus couplings and disconnectors according to the planned parallel-switching operation. 8. Step Switch all of the Relays to the AUTO mode. The master first sets all of the slaves to its actual tap-changer position in order to start the voltage regulation. In normal operation, the voltage is held within the permissible regulative deviation (bandwidth) and all transformers involved are regulated to the same tap-changer position. Õ Õ

    163 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.2.3Preparing automatic activation The ParaGramer can be loaded from the start menu as a tool for preparing the automatic activation and for displaying the switching status in real time. The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel and one-line diagram. The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual transformers in a one-line diagram and can be loaded from the start menu using the F5 key, provided that the ParaGramer feature has been activated. Normally up to six transformers can be operated using the ParaGramer. In a special version, however, up to 10 transformers can be connected. The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica (circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) of “its” transformer into each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The regulation system can automatically recognise which transformer is to work with which other transformer(s) on a busbar in parallel operation on the basis of the switching statuses. Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as one single busbar by the system. The standard ParaGramer version can display the following configurations: ➪ 2 transformers with one busbar (1 circuit breaker (LS) per transformer) Note = Switching element = Switching element open closed LS

The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code (address) <A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 2 is given the station code (address) <B>, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code <C>. Code input: Select SETUP 6, F1, F2. This address may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or decremented using the F4 and F5 keys. Confirm your selection using <Enter>. Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each station code may only be assigned once. If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D. To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!) and assigns it to the PAN-D. A to Z4

To start the parallel operation, all parallel-operating Relays must be able to communicate with each other via E-LAN. This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus) is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure. The bus link must be parameterised [see "E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)" on page 101] once the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled. 4. Step Activate the ParaGramer.

    168 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 5.Step Parameterisation of the group list. The number of participating parallel-operating transformers (n=3) is specified by inputting the group list. The group list is numbered consecutively and each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be parameterised in the same order. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring of the first transformer must be first in the group list, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring of the second transformer second in the group list, etc. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring ID may be freely selected as described above. For clarity, however, the first Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring should be assigned code A:, Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 2 code B:, etc. The group list also specifies the number of transformers shown in the ParaGramer mode (2 positions in the group list occupied => 2 transformers, 3 positions occupied => 3 transformers, etc.). The group list also indicates which Relays are presently working together: Three symbols (+,*,=), which appear before the group list entry have been introduced to characterise the parallel-operating transformers. Relays with the same symbol are presently feeding on one busbar.

    170 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual If,for instance, the disconnector PG_TR1 of transformer 1 is to be assigned to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring input E8, the function PG_TR1 must be assigned to input E 8 using menu SETUP 5, F3 “Input assignments...” and the function keys. This same procedure applies for all of the other inputs as well. Depending on the input assignment, the display can show one or two busbars. The following input functions are available: ❑ PG_CB: Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding transformer ❑ PG_IS1: Isolator 1 return signal of the corresponding transformer to busbar 1 (the left isolator in each figure) ❑ PG_IS2: Isolator 2 return signal of the corresponding transformer to busbar 2 (the right isolator in each figure) ❑ PG_CP: Bus coupling return signal of the corresponding transformer ❑ PG_SC1: Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding transformer in busbar 1 ❑ PG_SC2: Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding transformer in busbar 2 Note A solution is also available for applications in which the busbars are coupled crosswise. The “crosslink” feature makes it easy to master this task. This type of busbar arrangement is not described here since it is not used very frequently. If it is required, please contact our headquarters. This option is already available on your Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring and can be activated at any time using the Firmware feature.

    173 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.3Parallel operation using the “Master-Slave- Independent (MSI)” procedure (available as of Version 2.03 from the 16th July 2004) Note All of the control technology information about TapErr and ParErr also applies to the master-slave operation carried out according to any activation procedure. MSI stands for Master (M), Slave (S) and Independent (I) operation of individual transformers. In this operating mode, all of the participating parallel-switching transformers are placed by the operator in one of the states described above. Transformers then always work according to the principle of equalising the tap-changer positions, which is also called the master-slave procedure. Note The terms master-follower and master-slave are used synonymously is everyday language and that is also the case in the following text. Please note: ➪ In the MSI mode, it is only possible to change the operating mode (MSI) of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring when in the manual mode. ➪ When the transformers are already operating in parallel, it is possible to switch from the AUTO mode to the MANUAL mode by switching any Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to the MANUAL mode. This therefore ensures that the entire group can quickly be switched to the manual mode in the event of a fault. ➪ In the Auto mode, the group can only then be switched if the master is switched to the AUTO mode; the slaves will not accept being switched from MANUAL to AUTO. ➪ In the independent mode, on the other hand, each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be switched back and forth from MANUAL to AUTO at any time. ➪ The status line of the ParaGramer display indicates which Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is currently functioning as the master.
  • 295.
    174 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Itis also possible to indicate the operating status using an LED. If the parameter MSI-Ma is assigned to a particular LED, it lights up when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is operating in master mode. The same procedure can also be carried out for slave operation (parameter = MSI_Sl) or independent operation (parameter = MSI_Ind). The parameterisation is also displayed in the ParaGramer and the individual transformers are designated by the letters M, S and I. All of the transformers/relays working as either a master or a slave are displayed with a closed coupling. On the other hand, relays working in the independent mode (currently feeding on a different busbar or in the stand-by mode) are displayed with an open coupling. If more than one Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has been mistakenly assigned to the master mode, the MSI algorithm will treat the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with the lowest address (A is lower than B or C!) as the “master” and will treat all of the other relays mistakenly defined as being masters as slaves. The ParaGramer display will also show the present status of the parallel operation in the status line in the form of the measured voltage, the calculated regulative deviation and the tap-changer position in addition to the “Who with whom?” information. This makes it possible to obtain all of the information needed to evaluate the parallel operation.
  • 296.
    175 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Prerequisitefor using the MSI operation The MSI operating mode can only be applied when the ParaGramer feature is activated and turned on. Relays which are delivered with the K1 feature (with parallel operation) are already parameterised in this way by default. The ParaGramer is switched on by selecting SETUP 5, Add-On 6. Press F5 to specify the number of transformers to be switched in parallel. Note At this point it is important to state explicitly that the ParaGramer has a different function in MSI mode. It does not generate the group lists itself, but is only activated in order to make it possible to display the switching status on the regulator display. Example: The ParaGramer must be set to ON-3 for a group of three transformers. The MSI operating mode can be selected by choosing the MSI operating mode in SETUP 1, Programs..., Parallel Program. Caution! The MSI operating mode must be selected for each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring involved in the parallel-switching operation. We advise contacting our company headquarters if the K1 feature and, therefore, also the Paragramer, are to be enabled at a later date.

Note Several features, e.g. RECORDER, TMM, etc. can, of course, be loaded at the same time. Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure: Only transformers which are electrically (power, short circuit voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions, switching groups, etc.) and mechanically identical (number of tap- changer positions, position of the deadband) are suitable for MSI operation. A different procedure should be used if one or more of the parameters differ. In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring receives the information regarding the tap-change position of “its” transformer. The recording and transmission of the correct tap-change position is one of the mandatory prerequisites of the tap- change equalisation procedure. Every potential “candidate” must be listed in the group list with its address in order to notify the system of the number of relays/ transformers that should take part in parallel operation.

    180 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Note Themode cannot be overwrittten via the keypad if a specific mode is pre-selected via the binary input and a signal is present at the input. The mode that was most recently assigned an input is always pre-selected. Since the inputs are triggered via the edge of the input signal, one short pulse is sufficient to select the operating mode. Method 3: Selection of the individual relays is carried out via a serial interface (IEC…, DNP 3.0, MODBUS, SPA-Bus; via LWL or copper). A further prerequisite for fault-free operation is that all of the relays have the same parameterisation. For this reason, different parameters must be set in SETUPs 1 and 5. Since the slaves in the master-slaves procedure are only allowed a limited freedom of action, changes in the parameters can only be carried out in the independent mode or the master mode. For this reason, the parameterisation should already have been completed in SETUP 5 before commencing work in SETUP 1. Please note: First SETUP 5, then SETUP 1 Select SETUP 5, F1…, (Add-On 6). The following parameters can be entered:

    181 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Explanationsof the individual menu items: “Parallel Prog. activation” must be set to ON to activate parallel operation. The indication “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time” can be interpreted as follows. If the system is already operating in parallel with n stations, it assumes that the equalisation of the tap-change positions of all operating transformers is achieved after a maximum of 1.5 · n · the tap-changer in operation time. If there is an error in the transmission of the BCD code or if there are problems regarding the equalisation of the tap-changer positions, a tap-changer position error (TapErr) will be detected which causes the system to stop. However, if a transformer, which (for example) has been feeding another busbar or has been working in the stand-by mode, is selected to participate in the parallel-switching operation, this parameter can be used to specify the number of tap-changes it may deviate from the parallel transformers that are already running. This transformer is then brought to the same tap-changer position as the transformers which are already operating in parallel, one step at a time and without interrupting regulation. If equalisation doesn’t occur within the pre-selected time, the parallel-switching is stopped and all participating relays switch to MANUAL mode. Example: The transformer/relay <D> to be added to the parallel-switching operation is currently set to the resting position in tap-changer position 4. The group switched in parallel is currently working in tap- changer position 8 and the motor running time between two tap-changer positions is 7 seconds. If you want to add transformer <D> to the parallel-switched group − without considering the resulting circulating reactive currents − the “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time” parameter must be set to 4. The monitoring algorithm of the parallel program will wait an interval of 4 times the tap-changer in operation time of the added transformer (4 x 7 seconds = 28 seconds) before a parallel error (ParErr) is triggered.

If this is not possible, the error flag ParErr will be set and the entire group will be switched to the MANUAL mode. The MANUAL operating mode is the fail-safe position for all of the master-slave procedures. The group can only be switched back to the AUTO mode via the master after the error which triggered the ParErr has been rectified. The number of transformers/relays involved in the parallel- switching operation can be selected with the help of the “ParaGramer Activity” parameter. Example: If three transformers/relays are to be switched in parallel, “ParaGramer Activity” 3 must be selected by pressing F5. Settings in SETUP 1 Several settings must be carried out in Setup 1. Under normal conditions − all of the transformers are the same − the settings for the “permissible regulative deviation” (F1), the “time factor” (F2) and the “setpoint value” (F3) should all be the same. However, if you prefer to have different setpoint values activated when changing masters, different setpoint values can also be specified. However, during the parallel-switching operation, only the setpoint value parameterised in the currently active master is taken into consideration. Different setpoint values can naturally also be selected even if the setpoint values originally had the same parameterisation. To

Select the parallel program “MSI” using the F2 key. All of the preparations necessary for the parallel-switching operation have now been carried out. Proceed in the MANUAL mode by changing the transformers until the voltage is outside of the tolerance band. Then switch to AUTO mode to verify whether the parallel-switching operation is functioning properly. It is only functioning properly if the voltage returns to the tolerance band within a short period of time and all of the transformers are set to the same tap-changer position. We recommend carrying out this test for both positive and negative regulative deviations.

    184 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 9.3.1Trouble-shooting Parallel-switching operations carried out according to the MSI procedure can only function properly, if − in addition to the correct functioning of the participating Relays − the infrastructure (recording and signalling of the tap-changer position, bus connection) are also functioning fault-free. To ensure that errors that could occur outside of the relays do not cause problems for maintaining the voltage, the two error flags ParErr and TapErr have been introduced to monitor the recording of the tap-changer position and the bus connection respectively. 9.3.1.1 Description of the ParErr and TapErr error flags A fault in the parallel-switching operation is signalled through the ParErr and TapErr error bits. ParErr ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel error) and automatically switches a group of transformers operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the Manual operating mode. If a different behaviour is desired, this can be specified through an alteration to the SYSCTR feature. In this case please contact our headquarters. ParErr is triggered, for example, when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is bypassed when a tap- changer regulation is carried out (the tap-changer position is set directly at the motor drive or via the “remote control bypass”) and the transformers are not all set back to the same tap- changer position within an interval that is 1.5 times the tap- change in operation time. Exception: If a transformer with a specific tap difference is added to the parallel-switching operation (independent becomes slave), ParErr is not triggered until the interval specified in SETUP 5, Add-On 6, “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time” has been exceeded.
  • 306.
    185 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual TapErr TapErris a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-change position. The name is derived from the term “tap error”. Like ParErr, TapErr affects the entire group when in MSI operating mode. If a transformer is being switched in parallel, regulation will stop after 1.5 x the tap-changer in operation time if the tap-changer positions have not reached the same level within this time. We recommend individually assigning the TapErr and ParErr error bits to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus make it easier to rectify the error. The following are considered to be tap errors: 1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction Example: The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs a “raise” command and the transformer “answers” with a lower tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the transformer “answers” with a higher tap-change. Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have been swapped or the motor drive is behaving inversely. Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring increases the transformer ratio in the event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage. In most cases, it is expected that an increase in the tap-changer position results in a higher voltage, and a decrease in the tap- changer position results in a lower voltage. Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals
  • 307.
    186 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 2.No tap-change Example: The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs a command, but the tap-changer position does not change. In this case, it must be assumed that either the position confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective. 3. Illogical tap-changes If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap position after a raise or lower command is issued, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring interprets this as a fault in the tap-change operation and the TapErr flag is set. As mentioned above, we recommend assigning the TapErr error bit to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus make it easier to rectify any error. Tap limitation If the tap is to be limited from either above or below, please enter the following background program lines via the WinREG terminal program: H 7=‘RegStufe-,Lower tap limitation,<=,if,RegSperreT =3, else,RegSperreT =0’ H 8=‘RegStufe-,Upper tap limitation,>=,if,RegSperreH =3, else,RegSperreH =0’ In place of the “Upper tap limitation“, enter the required upper tap limitation for your requirements and in place of the “Lower tap limitation” enter the required lower tap limitation. Note The assignment of program lines H7 and H8 is arbitrary, and you can use any two program lines of your choice.

    187 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 10Resistance Measuring Equipment for Tap-Changers with Resistance-Coded Tap-Change Signalling Resistance input If the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is equipped with a “tap-change potentiomenter” resistance input (Feature D2 or D3), the tap-changer resistance network can be connected directly and interpreted as a tap- change by the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. This eliminates the complication of using an external resistance measurement transducer. The resistance chain receives a direct current from the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring via two terminals. The voltage drop that occurs with the tap-change level is measured using further terminals. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is normally connected in a 3-conductor circuit. Please contact our company headquarters if a 4-conductor circuit is required. The resistance measurement equipment consists of a programmable current source to feed the measurement resistor, and a voltage measurement device to measure the voltage at the resistor. Tap-change resistances between 1 Ω and 400 Ω can be measured. However, the total resistance must remain ≤ 20 kΩ The measurement result is output with a 12 bit resolution at a refresh rate of approx 10 Hz (0.1 s). The measurement device has a broken-wire detection system. The parameters are input in an application menu using the keypad.

The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is not provided with any analogue inputs, whereas the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is always equipped with one analogue input module. Both relays can optionally be upgraded with various additional modules. The following modules are available: ❑ Analogue input module with two mA inputs ❑ Analogue module with only one mA input (only possible for the RG-DA) ❑ Analogue module with only one mA output (only possible for the RG-DA) ❑ Analogue output module with two mA outputs ❑ PT100 module to connect a PT100 directly to a 3- conductor circuit ❑ Resistance module as a tap-change potentiometer (1 ... 400 Ω/tap-change) (see chapter 10 for description) The parameterisation of the inputs and outputs is the same for both types of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring and can be carried out using either the keypad or the WinREG parameterisation software. It is advantageous to carry out the parameterisation using WinREG, since that is the simplest method to gain an overview of all the various parameters. However, parameterisation using the keypad is shown in the example, since this gives an insight into the multiple possibilities.

If the inside becomes dirty due to improper use, it is recommended that you send the device back to the manufacturer. If a large amount of dust has accumulated on the terminal blocks, the insulator coordination could fail. Dust particles are generally hygroscopic and can bridge creepage distances. For this reason we recommend operating the device with the doors closed. Furthermore, in dusty environments it is particularly important to ensure that the cable connections are correctly mounted.

If the device is defective, we recommend sending it to the company headquarters together with a short description of the fault. An Allen key is provided so that the disassembly can be carried out easily. It can be used to loosen the flange plate on the bottom of the device. After undoing the four screws, the flange plate can be shifted approximately 5 mm to the left, so that the entire wiring including the connector blocks can be removed through the bottom of the device. A replacement device can then replace the defective one and can be put into operation within a few minutes.

    225 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 14Storage Information The devices should be stored in clean, dry rooms. The devices and their respective replacement modules can be stored between -25 °C and +65 °C. The relative humidity must not cause the formation of either condensation or ice. We recommend that the storage temperature remains within the temperature range -10 °C to +55 °C to ensure that the built- in electrolytic capacitor does not age prematurely. We also recommend that the device be connected to an auxiliary voltage every two years to reform the electrolytic capacitors. This procedure should also be carried out before the device is put into operation. Under extreme climatic conditions (tropics), this also simultaneously ensures “pre- heating” and helps to avoid the formation of condensation. The device should be stored in the service room for at least two hours prior to being connected to the voltage for the first time so that it can become accustomed to the ambient temperature there and to avoid the formation of moisture and condensation.

    226 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15Background Information 15.1 Regulator mode The command variable W and the actual value X of the network voltage are continuously compared in the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring in order to maintain a constant network voltage. The command variable W is either a fixed value or a variable value which is the sum of fixed setpoint values and the changeable voltage drop on the lines to the consumers. The difference between the actual value X and the control variable W (the regulative deviation Xw) is calculated according to a selected function in the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring and summed until a specified integral value is reached. As soon as this integral value is reached, the integrator is set to zero and a signal (correcting variable) is simultaneously output which triggers the tap-changer (actuator) of the transformer and thus changes its ratio. The integration begins anew after each tap-change procedure. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring functions as a three-tap change regulator with a deadband. No control commands are output if the actual value lies within the deadband. The parameters for the time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be optimally adapted to the time behaviour of the network voltage (controlled system) so that a high degree of control quality (high voltage constancy) can be achieved with a low number of switching operations. This results in a low load on the tap-changer. All of the Relays can control several transformers operating in parallel on one busbar without requiring further devices. The transformers are regulated according to a specific algorithm, e.g. so that the reactive part of the circulating current is minimised. Thus transformers with different outputs and different tap-change voltages can also be operated in parallel.
  • 348.
    227 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.2Command variable W The command variable W for the voltage of the tap-changing transformer may either be a fixed value (setpoint value) or a variable value (setpoint value + a variable). A variable command variable W can consist of, for example, the sum of a fixed setpoint value and the share of the voltage drop on a line up to a certain point in the circuit. This makes it possible to maintain the voltage at a constant level even if the load and the primary voltage are changing. 15.2.1 Fixed command variable The command variable W is input into the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as a voltage setpoint value and remains constant. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring maintains the voltage at the transformer within the tolerance band, independent of the primary voltage and the corresponding load current (the voltage drop on the line). Adjusting the setpoint / Switching to a different setpoint value Normally up to 4 setpoint values can be pre-selected. If the present setpoint value is to be changed, this change can be carried out on the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring either manually or by switching to another setpoint value which has already been pre-selected. At the same time the previous setpoint value becomes ineffective. Uset Iactua l e.g. Ib Voltage regulation Current influence Xu= f (Uactual, Uset) Xi = f (I) Xp = f (...)

    228 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Thechange to another setpoint value can be activated either via an external signal or by using a background program. 15.2.2 Variable command variable The command variable W for regulating the voltage at a given position on a line is the sum of a fixed setpoint value XR and the variable value of a correction value XK. W [V] = XR [V] + XK [V] The correction value XK takes the data of the assigned line and load into consideration (voltage drop Uf), so that the voltage at the given position − the load point of the line − can be held approximately constant. It is assumed that the network is generally loaded symmetrically, i.e. that the current in each line is approximately the same. The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can therefore be connected to the current transformer of any line (L1, L2, L3). Measuring the voltage drop Uf on the line The voltage drop Uf on the line between the transformer and the consumer is the difference between the r.m.s. values of both voltages on the busbar and at the load point. The voltage drop depends on the impedance of the line, the current strength and the cos ϕ at the consumer. The following formula defines the impedance of a line: Z = RL + j ω LL + 1 / j ω CL Measuring the voltage drop Uf as a function of the rated current When the reactances of the line can be neglected and the cos ϕ at the consumer remains constant, the voltage drop Uf can be measured as a function of the nominal current. Uf = f (I, R) The gradient of the Uf/IL characteristic line required for the correct measurement of Uf must be determined according to
  • 350.
    229 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual theoperating conditions. see "Nominal value of the gradient" on page 232. Control variables for Uf If the cos ϕ at the consumer varies, it is possible to select the active I cos ϕ or the reactive I sin ϕ component of the current as the control variable for Uf rather than current intensity I itself. The reactive component has either a positive or negative sign to differentiate between an inductive or a capacitive load respectively. Measuring the voltage drop as a function of the current strength and cos ϕ (LDC = line drop compensation) If the reactance of the line when measuring the voltage drop cannot be neglected and the cos ϕ at the consumer is not constant, the following formula applies to measuring Uf: Uf = (R + j XL) ⋅ (I cos ϕ2 - j I sin ϕ2) = R I (cos ϕ2 - j sin ϕ2) + XL I (sin ϕ2 + j cos ϕ2) By inputting the values for R and XL, a replica of the line can be created in the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. This enables the voltage difference (of the r.m.s. values) between the beginning of the line (transformer) and the selected load point to be measured in relation to the current intensity and the cos ϕ2. The value can then be used as the correction value Xk. see "Variable command variable" on page 228. Uf = U1 - U2 The angle at the load point is defined as ϕ2. However, in most cases the difference between ϕ at the transformer and ϕ at the load point may be neglected (see example). The current and voltage paths (L1, L2, L3 as well as S1/k and S2/l) must be correctly connected in order to be able to measure the correct angle.
  • 351.
    230 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Example: Given:R = 30 Ω; XL = 82 Ω; I = 100 A; cos ϕ2 = 0.7; U2 = 110 kV at the end of the line. When calculating using voltage pointers (for complex quantities use the E-2.5.2 EXCEL program which can be downloaded from our website, www.a-eberle.de), the result is the following exact value Uf = U1 - U2 = 7.96 kV. (The angle difference of the voltage pointer between the feeding point and the load point is approximately 2°). The voltage at the transformer must thus be regulated to the r.m.s. value U1 = 110 kV + 7.96 kV = 117.96 kV (command variable W). Setting R and XL The differences between the entered values and the actual values of R and XL as well as the difference between the cos ϕ at the transformer and at the consumer (the indicators of U1 and U2 have different angles) can also be eliminated by readjusting R and XL. If values exist for the inductive and resistive voltage drop between the feeding point and the load point, they can be converted to resistances (R and X) using a simple mathematical equation. Divide the voltages by 10 and enter the resulting values as the resistances R and X. Example: Ux = 12 V Ur = 25 V Thus: X = 1.2 Ohms R = 2.5 Ohms

    231 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.2.3Current-dependent setpoint value increment Determining the voltage levels XR and Uf The voltage level XR (setpoint value) should correspond to the required voltage at a minimum current. The voltage level Uf is a function of the gradient of the linear Uf/ IL-characteristic line. Adding this voltage to the entered setpoint value XR (increasing the setpoint value) cancels out the voltage drop on the line. Various programs are available for incrementing the setpoint value: ❑ setpoint value increment dependent on apparent current ❑ setpoint value increment dependent on active current ❑ setpoint value increment dependent on reactive current. The line-drop compensation using the LDC process was described in the previous chapter. Apart from the LDC process, the most commonly used method is compensation based on the apparent current and this is described in more detail below. Please observe that the positive or negative sign of the active power is taken into consideration when the current-dependent setpoint value is increased. The current-dependent setpoint value increment is active if power is being consumed and is inactive when power is being supplied. This procedure - which works in the interest of network operation - can only be carried out properly and reliably when the direction of the active power is input correctly.

    232 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Inthis case a positive sign for active power indicates incoming power (setpoint value increment permissible), whereas a negative sign indicates power supply, and the setpoint increment function is disabled. The connections for both the voltage and the current must be correctly assigned in order to detect the direction of the active power. Therefore, please check the connections for current and voltage, as well as the assignments (SETUP 5, F2) and lastly check the sign for active power in the measurement transducer mode. Nominal value of the gradient The nominal value of the gradient Gnom indicates the % change in the nominal voltage when the current strength changes from 0 to 100% of the I1n nominal current of the current transformer that is mounted in the network. GNom = 100 V (∆U in relation to ∆IL [A]) Thus for the voltage Uf = f (I) Limitation of the voltage level Uf To prevent the command variable from exceeding a certain limit value in the event of overcurrent, the gradient of the linear Uf/IL characteristic line must be set to zero from a specified value of the current onwards.

Please note that the gradient and the setpoint value cannot be set independently from each other for this type of characteristic line, because when Gnom [%] > 0%, the command variable W, which is already at the minimum current value Imin > 0, would be unintentionally increased. Example: The voltage at a particular point in the network is to be held constant at 20 kV under a variable load. Nominal values of the voltage transformer: U1n = 20 kV; U2n = 100 V; Knu = 200 Nominal values of the current transformer: I1n = 800 A; I2n = 5 A; Kni = 160 Measured value pairs: Primary side: The difference between the currents ∆I [A] = Imax - Imin = 700 A - 100 A = 600 A Secondary side (primary values/Kni): The difference between the currents ∆I [A] = Imax - Imin = 4.375 A - 0.625 A = 3.750 A Absolute voltage change ∆U [V] = 21.5 kV - 20.5 kV = 1.0 kV Voltage change in percent ∆U [%] = (1.0 kV / 20.0 kV) 100 % = 5 % Values at light load Pmin Values at full load Pmax Current intensity I Imin = 100 A Imax = 700 A Control variable w wmin = 20.5 kV wmax = 21.5 kV

Calculating the nominal value of the gradient Gnom [%] Setpoint value reduction With a light load and this gradient, the command variable W would be increased to This corresponds to (100 A / 800 A) 6.67% = 0.83% of the nominal voltage. Thus, the setpoint value XR would have to be set lower by 0.83% in order to maintain the voltage level at 20.5 kV during a light load. Adjusting the setpoint values At full load, the reduction of the setpoint value, however, causes the command variable W to be lowered so that a compromise must be found between the increase in Gnom [%] and the decrease in the reduction of the setpoint value.

The sign of the regulative deviation can be plus or minus. Note The regulative deviation Xw corresponds to the negative regulation difference Xd. 15.4.2 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz To minimise the number of switches of the tap-changer, a deviation in the network voltage from the command variable W is tolerated within certain limits, i.e. a specific regulative deviation is permissible. This permissible regulative deviation Xwz is entered as a ± n% of the control variable W (independent of all the other limit values expressed in %) and sets the limits for the maximum permissible relative fluctuation of the network voltage above and below the control value W. For this reason the absolute limit values of the tolerance band are dependent on the set command variable W. When the network voltage dips into this tolerance band, the regulation procedure is interrupted and the integrator is set to zero so that the regulation/integration process only begins again when the network voltage overshoots or undershoots the limits of the tolerance band. Fluctuations in the network voltage within the permissible regulative deviation have no effect on the regulation procedure.

The colour of the pointer changes from light to dark when the voltage exceeds the permissible regulative deviation Xwz. When indicating the permissible regulative deviation Xwz, the setpoint value correction Xk for compensating the voltage drop in the line is not taken into consideration. 15.4.4 Setting the permissible regulative deviation Xwz The tolerance band determined by the permissible regulative deviation Xwz (± n% of the control variable W) must be higher than the tap-change of the transformer in percent, because otherwise the changed output voltage of the transformer would violate the opposite limit of the permissible regulative deviation after a control command has been executed. Furthermore, after having reached the integral value, a control command would be output to reset the previous transformer tap-changer position. This procedure would be constantly repeated, i.e. this would lead to frequent tap-changes of the transformer and thus to unwanted fluctuations in the network voltage. In order to have sufficient distance from the upper and lower limits of the permissible regulative deviation, the following formula applies 2 ⋅ |± Xwz [%]| > ∆UTap [%] or |± Xwz [%]| > 0.5 ∆UTap [%] Guide value for Xwz The following guide value is generally recommended for the permissible regulative deviation Xwz: |± Xwz [%]| ≥ 0.6 ∆UTap [%]

If, for example, the upper limit is exceeded and the voltage is set back by one tap-change, the voltage is reduced to 100.6kV – 1.0 kV = 99.6 kV, i.e. the lower limit of 99.4 kV is not undershot. The voltage remains within the range of the permissible regulative deviation.

This occurs to prevent the network voltage having an impermissible value after the cause of the fault has been eliminated. These monitoring tasks are carried out by additional limit signals. 15.5.1 Limit signal Switching time delay The difference in time between when the limit value is reached and when the signal is transmitted is defined as the time delay. A specific time delay can be selected (parameterised) for each limit signal. Note Please note that the actual switching time delay can exceed the parameterised switching time delay by up to 2 seconds. This difference is due to the procedure selected for determining the measurement values. Switching hysteresis, switching difference Xsd The difference in the input values between the switching on and off of the limit signal after the limit value violation has disappeared is defined as the switching difference. The hysteresis Xsd has a standard value of 1% of 100 V (corresponds to 1 V). Assignment of the limit signal Each of the following limit values is monitored by one limit signal. A special additional function is activated for certain types of limit signals. In the menu you have the option of selecting whether a binary output or LED should be activated if a limit value violation occurs.

The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring quickly regulates the tap-changer via successive control commands in the same direction (RAISE or LOWER) back to a tap-changer position with which the voltage of the transformer is within the permissible regulative deviation. The high-speed switching then becomes inactive again. This ensures that transformer output voltages that are too high or too low are quickly rectified. The user can set the shortest time between control commands (the tap-changer in operation time) according to the time requirement of a tap-change operation (SETUP 5, F1, F2) so that only command change operations that can be carried out are given. There are two different types of control to avoid the tap- changer drives being triggered by a sequence of control commands that is too fast. ➪ If a Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring input E1 ... E16 is configured as the tap-changer in operation input (with the exception of E5 and E6), the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will not output the control commands until 2 s after the tap-changer in operation “drops”. ➪ If the tap-changer in operation is not output to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the relay will output the control commands with a time separation corresponding to the set “maximum time tap-changer in operation” (SETUP 5 - Add-On 1).

The standstill is active until the network voltage no longer violates the limit value for the standstill.

A Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring generally initially reacts with tap-changes in the direction of a higher voltage in such cases to maintain a constant secondary voltage. If the voltage on the primary side suddenly returns to its default value, the transformer will be set to a tap that is too high (high voltage) and will have to be regulated back in the direction of a lower voltage. In certain circumstances, this behaviour can cause the voltage to exceed the trigger threshold of protection devices or the “tripping” limit of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to be reached which blocks the relay. The “creeping net breakdown” function is used to prevent such situations. Only Relays that are equipped with two voltage transformers (M3 or M9) can use this feature.

    249 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual The“creeping net beakdown” function can only be derived from the overvoltage. If only the control voltage (undervoltage) is available to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, it is not possible to ascertain whether the voltage dip is caused by a load or whether the reduction of the voltage is caused by a dangerous situation on the high voltage side. If the regulative deviation is so large that - during a certain time period - more than a specified number of control commands in the RAISE direction is required to eliminate the regulative deviation, the REG-DA can react in two different ways: ➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring does not output any further control commands. It leaves the “AUTOMATIC” operating mode and remains in the “MANUAL” operating mode until it is switched back into “AUTOMATIC” mode, either via the manual key or via a remote control command. ➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring blocks all further control commands for a lock time (1 min ... 20 min). This lock is automatically removed if: a) the specified lock time has expired or b) when the first LOWER control command is output (i.e. when the upper limit of the regulative deviation is violated. The “creeping net breakdown” function is canceled if the measurement quantity returns to being within the permissible range or if a lower command is issued. The “Creeping Net Breakdown” function suppresses the “High- Speed Forward Switching” function.

    250 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.6.4“Maximum tap-change difference” monitoring Add- On A tap-change difference can only occur when at least two transformers are considered. If parallel programs that use the circulating reactive current process are used, then the transformers are always regulated to different tap-change positions if the transformers that are working in parallel are different (uk, number of tap-change positions, etc.). The “maximum tap-change difference” parameter can be used to limit the difference. If the specified tap-change difference is reached, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will no longer carry out tap-change operations if doing so would cause the circulating reactive current to reduce further. The ParErr error flag is used for the monitoring. ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel error) and automatically switches a group of transformers operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the Manual operating mode. ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the specified “maximum tap-change difference”. An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not desired. Otherwise only the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring that carried out the tap-change that lead to the permissible maximum tap difference being exceed will be switched over to the manual operating mode. Note If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company headquarters. 15.6.5 Add-On: monitoring the tap-changer After the control command has been output, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring controls the correct switching of the tap-changer so that the tap-change signal (tap- changer in operation) that is returned by the tap-changer is measured and compared with the value of the maximum tap-

If the tap-change signal continues to be output for a longer period of time, it is possible that the tap-changer has an error. The operation of the tap-changer can be interrupted using one of the freely programmable outputs R3 ... R11. In this case the Laufl-F. or the Laufl-F+ function must be selected. Laufl-F. causes a continuous signal at the selected output relay. Laufl-F+ only causes a wiping signal. This output signal can be used to switch off the motor drive of the tap-changer (for example).

    252 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.7Time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring when a control command is output Requirements Optimal regulation behaviour is achieved when the operating requirements with regard to the voltage constancy need as few tap-changer operations as possible. However, optimal regulation behaviour also requires that larger regulative deviations are regulated quicker than smaller regulative deviations. Note For more information about understanding the regulation behaviour see "Integrated time program" on page 259! Moreover, large regulative deviations should be rectified faster than small regulative deviations. There are two measures for complying with the requirements specified above: ➪ The regulative deviations are summed up to a specified integral value before the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs a control command. If the network voltage dips into the tolerance band (± Xwz) before this integral value is reached, the integrator will be set to zero. ➪ The regulative deviations are continuously evaluated before the integration according to the selected time relationship (∆U · t = const, REG-5A). Depending on the time interval, the evaluation factor increases either linearly or non-linearly with the value of the regulative deviation. Therefore, large regulative deviations (voltage deviations) are rectified faster than small ones. Large deviations in the voltage from the command variable trigger a control command after a short period of time (the integral value is reached quickly), whereas small voltage deviations take longer to trigger a control command.
  • 374.
    253 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Basictime and time factor The evaluation factor variable of the regulative deviation Xw is not indicated directly, rather it is indicated as the time tg in seconds which passes from the beginning of the integration to the triggering of a control command provided that the regulative deviation is constant. Thus, the relationship between the regulative deviation and the reaction time can be recognised immediately. If, for operational reasons, a slower reaction of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired, the time tg may be increased by multiplying it with the time factor FZ (0,1 ... 30). The time interval that elapses between the signalling of a control command and the actual triggering of a control command is in part determined by the switching time delay. Time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring The switching delay tv for a set permissible regulative deviation Xwz is thus dependent on the value of the present regulative deviation Xw, the selected characteristic line Xw/tg and the value of the set time factor Ft. tv = tb · Ft

    259 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.7.2Integrated time program Both the “∆U · t = const” and “REG- 5A/E” integrating time programs function in the following manner: after the integral of the voltage deviation ∆U and the time “t” has reached a specified value, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change operation. The integrator is reset to zero after each tap-change operation. If the voltage leaves the voltage band directly after a regulation procedure, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring waits for the time specified in the algorithm (time from the characteristic curve multiplied with the time factor) before it initiates another control procedure. Considering a bucket that is asymmetrically hung is helpful for understanding the two integrating procedures. Picture 1 Picture 2 Memory is filled with a Memory is filled with a small regulative deviation large regulative deviation The bucket tips when it is filled and this is analogous to a step- change operation carried out by the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The analogy can be interpreted as follows: The greater the amount of water that flows into the bucket per unit time (the larger the voltage deviation), the quicker the bucket will fill up and tip over (the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change). The smaller the amount of water that flows into the pail per unit of time (the smaller the voltage deviation), the longer it takes for the bucket to fill up and tip over (the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change).
  • 381.
    260 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Thevolume of water flowing (e.g. m3 /unit time) corresponds to the voltage deviation. This algorithm is based on the operating experience that small regulative deviations do not need to be rectified immediately, since in general they do not lead to a fault in the operation and also they can often “heal” themselves due to changes to the load (voltage returns to being within the bandwidth again). The setpoint value and bandwidth boundaries are generally parameterised such that the voltage lies in the middle of the tolerance band. In situations in which the voltage has changed such that it still lies within the band but close to the limit due to a particular load situation or a change to the primary voltage, small changes in the voltage or the load will always lead to a band violation. However, since small regulative deviations are accompanied by a long integration or reaction time (it takes a long time for the bucket to fill), the voltage spends a large part of a particular amount of time outside the permissible band. In such cases, specific intervention of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired. 15.7.3 Trend memory The “Trend memory” parameter can be used to accelerate all the algorithms. It functions as follows: If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, the integration process is initiated − the bucket is filled. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring performs a tap-change operation after a certain time has elapsed, which is determined by various parameters (the entered permissible regulative deviation, the actual regulative deviation, time factor). If the voltage returns to the bandwidth without the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring having issued a tap- change command, the integrator is only reset to zero after the time that is parameterised for the trend memory has elapsed and not immediately. However, if the voltage leaves the tolerance band again a short time later, the tap-change command will tend to be issued earlier because the integrator was not “emptied” and so will become full quicker.
  • 382.
    261 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual However,once a tap-changing command is issued, the memory is set back to zero. Therefore by using the “trend memory” parameter it can be achieved that the integrator is not immediately reset to zero if the voltage returns to being within the permissible tolerance band. If the voltage leaves the bandwidth at a point in time at which the memory has not been completely emptied, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can react earlier, since the integration procedure or “filling” procedure doesn’t start from zero, but rather at a higher level. Note The function of the trend memory is explained using an example at the end of this section. In general: The time, which is derived from the selected time program, is crucial to the memory loading process which triggers a tap-change operation when the memory is 100% full. However, the emptying of the memory is dependent on the time that is specified as the trend memory time. Note For the delta U * t = const and REG 5A/E time programs, the time to be entered for loading of the memory can be derived from the appropriate curves. For the “Const” time program use time T1 (see Page 262). A progress bar is incorporated in the regulator screen so that the present trend memory level can be judged by the user. The progress bar is displayed as a black bar at the bottom of the screen. The bar is black when the memory is filling (i.e. the voltage lies outside of the tolerance band), and when it is emptying it changes colour and is light. A tap-change operation is carried out when the bar reaches the right hand side of the screen. If the bar is invisible, this means that the trend memory has been completely emptied. Rrogress bar

    262 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.7.4“Const” time program “Const” stands for constant reaction times, which cannot be adjusted in a sensitive manner to the respective regulative deviations, as is the case for the “∆U · t = const” or the “REG- 5A/E” procedures. Two differing times are specified in the “Const” program, which cause the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to perform a tap-change operation dependent on the extent of the regulative deviation. Time T1 is effective if the voltage has a value that lies outside of the voltage band, but which can be brought back within the band with a single tap-change operation. T2 is valid when larger deviations have to be rectified. The limit above which T2 is valid is therefore the same as the specified permissible regulative deviation. Example: Permissible regulative deviation is 2% Actual regulative deviation is 3% ➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring uses the time T1 Permissible regulative deviation is 2% Actual regulative deviation is 5% ➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring uses the time T2 One advantage of this procedure is that in the case of regulative deviations which are larger than one tap-change, the operator U 5% 4% 3% 2% setpoint value T2 T2 T1

A disadvantage compared to the other procedures is that over a long period of time the number of tap-changes will probably be larger than would be the case for the “∆U · t = const.” and “REG 5A/E” regulation algortihms. As a general settings recommendation, the time T2 should be shorter than time T1 since large regulative deviations should be rectified more quickly than small ones. Of course, the absolute values of the times in this case also depend on the specific conditions at the respective feeding point (load structure and behaviour etc.). Sensible values for the trend memory can also only be derived from practical experience.

    265 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Aftera further 10 seconds, the voltage leaves the permissible tolerance band again, and after 30 seconds a “lower” tap- change is issued by the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring which returns the value to within the band. Diagram 2 shows how full the trend memory is (fill level). The Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring performs a tap-change if the fill level reaches the normalised value “1”. If, on the other hand, the graph reaches the x-axis (0 value), the memory is completely emptied. Diagram 3 shows when the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring issues a control command due to voltage deviations. Diagrams 4 and 5 show the behaviour that occurs without the trend memory. After 20 seconds the integrator for T1 is reset to zero, and after 30 seconds it begins to fill again − starting from zero. A further 40 seconds (T1) are required to fill the memory to a level where a tap-change command is issued. The way the trend memory operates can be best illustrated using diagram 2. In order to explain the individual steps more clearly, the diagram has been divided into three sections, i, ii and iii. Section i: The voltage is outside the voltage band, the integrator for time T1 is running. If the voltage were to remain outside the tolerance band for 40 seconds, the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring would issue a control command. However, since the voltage returns to being within the tolerance band after 20 seconds, the regulation procedure is surpressed. Section ii: The integrator for time T1 is half full (50% or 20 seconds in total). Emptying now begins according to the time that has been entered for the trend memory (100% = 40 seconds).
  • 387.
    266 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Sectioniii: The voltage only remains inside the permissible tolerance band for 10 seconds and then exceeds the allowed voltage range again. During this time the integrator could only be reduced from 50% to 25% full (20 seconds to 10 seconds). If the voltage now remains outside the band for a further 30 seconds the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring will issue a tap- change command. For the voltage progression described in the example the time before the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring intervenes is reduced from 70 seconds to 60 seconds by employing the trend memory (refer also to diagrams 4 and 5). 15.7.5 Setting the time factor Ft The time factor Ft can only be set by the ∆U · t = const, REG 5A/E and LINEAR time behaviours. For a normal 24 hour load curve, an empirical value between 2 and 3 is suitable for the time factor. 3. If the 24-hour load curve is more constant, the rectification process can be accelerated by choosing a smaller time factor.

    269 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Typesof lines Each of the E-LAN interfaces of a bus station can operate on a 2-wire line or on a 4-wire line. A 2-wire line is usually selected because this is the only option which permits a bus configuration with several bus stations on the same bus line. The transmission line must be connected with a 100 Ω resistor at its beginning and end. Reflections can occur if the terminating resistance is not present. These distort the signal, increase the line damping, reduce the maximum transmission distance of the line and cause error functions. The terminating resistances are already integrated into the REG-DA and can be switched on and off via the operating panel (termination). Topology The topology of the network, i.e. the connection of each bus station to the bus, may be freely selected and combined. The maximum permissible transfer rate depends on the selected operating mode (2-wire or 4-wire connection) and on the bus length. The permissible separations are summarised in the table below: Baud rate (KBaud) 4-wire 2-wire 15,6 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km 31,2 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km 62,5 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km 125 1.0 km ≤ 0.1 km 375 0.8 km Not recommended

    270 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Bussegment Up to 8 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment (line between two stations without boosters). Up to 16 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment if all of the spur-line connections are as short as possible and the total loop resistance of the transmission line is 100 Ohms. Multimaster structure The E-LAN has a multimaster structure, i.e. any bus station can operate as the bus master. Each Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring in the E-LAN can access all the data from all the other bus stations. Unique addressing Each bus station on the E-LAN must be assigned a unique address. 255 freely selectable addresses are possible. An address has the form: A, A1 ... A9, B, B1 ... B9, Z, Z1 ... Z4 Bus station index Each bus station automatically generates an internal index of all bus stations with valid addresses in the E-LAN. Every three seconds, each bus station in the E-LAN sends a so- called broadcast message to all of the other bus stations so that each bus station can adapt their internal index accordingly. If the broadcast message of a bus station is interrupted for more than 20 seconds, the other bus stations will delete the corresponding bus station from their internal index. A list of all bus stations can be loaded via the operating panel. The background program can be used to specify that the omission of a bus station is indicated via a signal (relay, LED) or a text message on the display.

    271 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.9Voltage regulation with transformers operating in parallel If transformers operating in parallel do not have same data (EMK, uk, switching group, number of tap-change positions), an additional circulating reactive current will permanently flow within this parallel-switching circuit. This circulating reactive current generates losses and is independent of the load current and must therefore be avoided. Regulation criteria In the case of parallel-switching on a busbar, the terminal voltage of all of the transformers - even with different tap- change positions - is compulsorily set to the same amount. Therefore the voltage alone cannot be a regulation criteria for transformers with different characteristic quantities. The voltage regulation must be supplemented by a circulating current regulation to be able to control transformers operating in parallel on a busbar to the appropriate voltage that is required and to the same tap-change position. If all the transformers are the same, stable parallel-switching can be achieved using the voltage and tap-changes (master- slave, MSI). Command variable The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring regulate the voltage on the undervoltage side (on the measurement transformer) of each transformer to a common command variable which depends on the sum current of the transformers operating in parallel. Sum current (only relevant in the event of current influence) The currents of all of the transformers can be summed in one Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring by networking the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring of all of the transformers operating in parallel via one bus. This sum current and the selected gradient of the Uf/IL characteristic line is the uniform base for the current-dependent influence of the command variable W for all Relays.
  • 393.
    272 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Dueto the use of a normalised sum current, the gradient of the Uf/IL characteristic can be set independently of the number and different types of characteristic data of the transformers operating in parallel (nominal power, short circuit voltage), so that changes in these parameters do not require resetting the gradient Gnom. 15.9.1 Regulation programs for transformers operating in parallel The following procedures are available: ➪ ∆I sin ϕ − procedure (minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ) ➪ ∆I sin ϕ (S) − procedure (minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ when operating transformers in parallel with various apparent powers) ➪ Master-slave procedure (forced parallel operation, same tap-change position) for all the transformers in parallel. ➪ ∆cos ϕ − procedure (minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ for transformers that cannot communicate using E-LAN) ➪ MSI - Master Slave Independent − procedure Parameters Parameters determine the extent to which the parallel regulation programs may affect regulation. Different parameter menus are available depending on the type of regulation program selected for operating the transformers in parallel. ➪ Influence of the circulating current regulation ➪ Limitation of the influence of the circulating current regulation ➪ Setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset) ➪ Nominal power of the transformer

Since the voltage cannot be changed continuously (tap- changes occur in increments), it is generally not possible to achieve the condition Icirc sin ϕ = 0. To minimise the reactive component of the circulating current, each Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring measures the reactive component I sin ϕ of the load currents for each transformer of the group list, calculates the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ of the assigned transformer and sets the tap-changer position in such a way that this circulating reactive current is minimised. 15.9.3 Influence of the circulating current regulation The size of the voltage change depends on the “influence of the circulating current regulation” parameters as well as on their degree of limitation. Larger permissible circulating currents (i.e. influence of circulating current regulation is lower) cause the precision of the circulating current regulation to be lowered which could result in tap-change differences of more than one tap-change. Limitation of the influence of the circulating current regulation Under normal operating conditions, the voltage regulation and the circulating current regulation are independent of each other (the limitation value of the influence of the circulating current regulation lies far above the normal operation value). Only under extreme conditions, including: ➪ Operating transformers in parallel with previously different tap-change positions ➪ Manual change of the tap-change position ➪ ∆cos ϕ-regulation for cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset

The user chooses his/her priority by setting the respective parameters. This means that if voltage regulation is to be given priority over circulating current regulation, the influence of the circulating current regulation can be limited to a minimum value which must nevertheless be higher than zero. 15.9.4 Activation of the regulation program Both the regulation program selected via the menu, and the addresses of the transformers/relays specified for operating in parallel are stored in a “group list” (SETUP 1, programs..., Par. parameters...). The operation in parallel and its reset are activated via a freely selectable binary input (SETUP 5, Add-On 6). The corresponding activation may be carried out via a pulse or a high-level continuous signal. A “self-learning” regulation program (ParaGramer) is also available through which the relays on the E-LAN permanently check which transformers are feeding on which busbar. The transformer group list is constantly updated in accordance with these results. The ParProg parameter can be used to determine if a parallel program is active or not and can be assigned to a freely programmable LED or relay. An error function is indicated with (ParErr) or TapErr. Further information can be found in chapter 9.

    275 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.9.5Description of the regulation programs 15.9.5.1 The ∆I sin ϕ procedure Functional principle: The value of the reactive current should be the same value, IbA = IbB = IbC = ... , for each of the transformers operating in parallel A, B, C,... . If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero. Area of application: Parallel operation on a busbar with a maximum of 10 transformers with nearly equal nominal power, nearly equal short circuit voltage and the same switching group. The tap-change increments may differ and the cos ϕ in the network can take any values requested. Prerequisites: The short circuit voltages, Uk of the transformers operating in parallel should only differ by a small amount: (0.90 ukn-1 ukn 1.10 ukn-1) and the nominal powers should be approximately the same. The ∆I sin ϕ [S] program is available when transformers with different nominal powers are used. Parameters to be entered: ➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in the circulating reactive current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per tap-change of the assigned transformer) ➪ Group list of the relays/transformers (addresses of relays which can be activated via the menu, ParaGramer or a binary signal, that control transformers that are operating in parallel on a busbar) ➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers (SETUP 5, Add-On 6)
  • 397.
    276 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual PermissibleIcirc: The correct value is derived as follows: ➪ Operate all Relays in MANUAL mode and set all the transformers that are in the group list to the tap-change position that causes approximately the same terminal voltage. Note the value of the reactive current (Ib = Isin ϕ = reactive component of the load current)(measurement transducer mode). The value of the reactive current must be approximately the same in all of the other transformers. ➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change position. ➪ The reactive current changes. The difference between the new value (Ib** = 2nd measurement value) and the old value (Ib* = 1st measurement value) is considered to be the 1st approximation to the “perm. Icirc”. Since the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring is supposed to reset the transformer that was changed by one level back to the previous tap-changer position, the permissible circulating current (perm. Icirc) can be set to a lower value than the value found in the 1st approximation. i.e.: permissible Icirc 0.6 (Ib** - Ib*). Low values can produce oscillations in the regulation, in particular when the transformers have different tap-changer increments or different short circuit voltages. Note Please note that the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring may under certain circumstances also issue a tap-change command when the permissible circulating reactive current is not exceeded. This is because a tap-change command is always issued if either the permissible voltage limit or the maximum permissible circulating reactive current is exceeded.

    277 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual ParErr ParrErrstands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel error) and automatically switches a group of transformers operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the Manual operating mode. To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap difference (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is also monitored by the error flag “ParErr”. If the set max. tap difference is exceeded, the ParErr error flag is set and the operation in parallel is switched to the manual operating mode − providing that Sysctrl Bit 6 has been set. Note Bit 6 has been set on delivery! Although the tap-change positions are not required for operation in parallel the ∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S) and ∆cosϕ current- dependent procedures, the functioning of the tap-change can nevertheless be monitored if required. Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating in parallel (as mentioned above), because the regulation only derives the regulation commands from the current and the voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap-change position of the transformer. TapErr The TapErr error flag signals errors in the transmission of the tap-change position or errors in the coding/decoding of the tap-changer. In the∆sinϕ procedure, TapErr is only locally effective, i.e. it only affects the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring where the tap error has occurred. We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the position return signal, making it easier to rectify the error. If a transformer is operating in parallel, the TapErr error flag is set when - after a tap-change - the logically expected tap- change position is not established within 1.5 x running time of the tap-change.

If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero. Area of application: Transformers with different nominal powers which feed via one busbar in the network.

A different procedure should be used if one or more of the parameters differ.

    285 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual TheMSI (master-slave-independent procedure) is a special version of the master-slave program (see Parallel operation using the “Master-Slave-Independent (MSI)” procedure on page 173). After the parallel-switching operation has been activated, the master will regulate the slave, or - in the master-slave cycle - the slaves, to the tap-change position which it itself is in. It then switches to master-slave mode which causes all of the transformers involved in the parallel-switching operation to change taps simultaneously. In the master-slave program, the slaves do not become slaves until they have reached the tap-change position that was specified by the master. As long as they are not in the same tap-change position, they remain in the slave mode. This differentiation and/or change can also be followed in the status line of the regulator. The precondition for the master-slave operation is that each Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring must be fed the present tap-change position of “its” transformer by means of a BCD, binary signal, mA signal or resistance value. Parameters to be entered: ➪ Transformer group list ➪ Selection of activation, see chapter 9. For operating the master-slave procedure it is mandatory that the tap-change position is signalled correctly. For this reason, error flags have been developed which immediately recognise errors and then set the regulation to the MANUAL operating mode if necessary.

Regulation is executed in such a way that the cos ϕ of the transformer is regulated to the set value cos ϕset. The cos ϕ of the network is set on the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring should ideally keep this value constant. The constancy of the cos ϕnet value is the guage of quality of the regulation. Deviations from the set value negatively affect the regulation results because there is a small voltage change when cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset (inequality between the present value of the cos ϕ of the network and the set cos ϕset). A self-adapting solution to the program can be implemented if the net cos ϕ changes by a large amount (depending on the time of day/year). In this case the program continuously measures the cos ϕ at the connection point. The setpoint value of the net cos ϕ is adjusted after an integration over a selectable period of time. This means that a network with multiple feeding transformers that cannot communicate with each other can remain approximately free of circulating reactive currents.

    289 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Althoughthe tap-change positions are not required for operation in parallel the ∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S) and ∆cosϕ current- dependent procedures, the functioning of the tap-change can nevertheless be monitored if required. Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating a parallel-switching operation (as mentioned above), because the regulation only derives the regulation commands from the current and the voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap- change position of the transformer. TapErr TapErr is only effective locally, that is it only affects the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring where the tap error has occurred. We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the position confirmation signal making it easier to rectify the error. In general, every Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring expects the logically next step that follows a tap- change increment. If the reaction of the system is illogical, TapErr will be activated. The following are considered to be tap errors: 1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction Example: The Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring outputs a “raise” command and the tap-changer reacts with a lower tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the tap-changer reacts with a higher tap-change. Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have been confused or the motor drive is behaving inversely. Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring increases the transformer ratio in the event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.

    290 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual Inmost cases, it is to be expected that an increase in the tap- change position results in a higher voltage, whereas a decrease in the tap-change position results in a lower voltage. Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals 2. No tap-change Example: The Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring outputs a command, but the tap-change position does not change. In this case, it must be assumed that either the position confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective. 3. Illogical tap-changes If the next higher or lower tap-change position is not signalled back after the tap-change position has been raised or lowered, the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring interprets the position check-back signal as being defective and sets the error flag TapErr. We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the position confirmation signal making it easier to rectify the error.

    291 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual 15.9.5.5The ∆cos ϕ emergency program Functional principle: In order to keep the circulating current regulation stable, even during bus faults (E-LAN), an emergency program is incorporated in the ∆I sin ϕ and ∆I sin ϕ (S) programs. This program is activated as soon as the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring recognises a bus error (E-LAN - Error). All relays connected to the E-LAN will return to their previous program 10 seconds after the bus error has been eliminated. The ∆cos ϕ program is used as an emergency program, whereby the regulation is not carried out to the entered cos ϕset but to the last present cos ϕSum of the network that was measured by the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring (ϕSum = angle between the sum current and the network voltage). Thus the voltage regulation is not affected and the parallel operation of the transformers also remains stable. If the cos ϕSum of the network changes (an event that usually occurs only slowly, not suddenly), the network voltage changes only slightly, because the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring tries to find a compromise between the minimum difference of the measured cos ϕSum of the network and the present cosϕSum of the network as well as the minimum difference between the command variable W and the actual value X of the voltage.

If the auxiliary voltage is interrupted, the “WITH” self-conduct setting causes the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring to continue running in the AUTOMATIC operating mode after the event; this is only possible if the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring was operating in the AUTOMATIC operating mode before the malfunction occurred. In the situation mentioned above, the “WITHOUT” self-conduct setting would cause the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring to change to the MANUAL operating mode after the event. 15.12 LCD display 15.12.1 LCD contrast The contrast can be changed (see LCD contrast (display) on page 94). 15.12.2 LCD Saver The LCD display switches off after 1 hour. 15.12.3 Background illumination The background illumination switches off 15 minutes after the keypad was last used.

    295 REG-DA REG-DA operating manual ParErrParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel error) and automatically switches a group of transformers operating in parallel from the Automatic operating mode to the Manual operating mode. If this behaviour is not desired, a different type of behaviour can be selected via the SysCtrl feature. In this case please contact our headquarters. Please also refer to “Description of the regulation programs” on Page 275. PhaseFail Function only available in PAN-D or relays with Feature M2. PhaseFail is active if one of the three phases fails. TapErr TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-change position. The name is derived from the term “tap error”. Unlike ParErr, Tap Err is only effective locally, i.e. it is only indicated on the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring on which the tap-changer position error has occurred. It can also switch the group working in parallel to MANUAL when operating in the master- slave or MSI procedure.

These inputs are connected with the corresponding outputs of the REG_LR device. As long as the REG_LR device holds the status line LR_STAT active (1), the AUTO/ MANUAL status of the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring will be determined by the input LR_AH (1:AUTO, 0:MANUAL). Raise/lower commands may only come from the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring drive (in the case of AUTO). As soon as the status of the REG_LR device falls (0), the Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring will revert to the AUTO/MANUAL operating mode which applied 1s before the drop in the LR_STAT signal. The Relay for Voltage Control Transformer Monitoring will then continue to work as usual. Special case: LR_STAT is not used, i.e. only the input function LR_AH is activated. In this case, it is always assumed that LR_STAT is active. LR_STAT If only the LR_STATUS input function is used, the following applies: LR_STAT active (1): Remote operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and raise/lower only via inputs or REG-L. LR_STAT inactive (0): Local operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and raise/lower only via the keypad.

    Transformer Manual Page 4/53 1DELIVERY AT SITE 1.1 Transformer transportation and delivery confirmation at power station 1.1.1 Transformer transport Transportation of transformer is that the transformer is transported to the user site from the manufacturer, including unloading the transformer at user site. In general, crane or manual unloading way with hydraulic system are used for this. Only qualified transport company and stevedoring company can be employed for transportation and handling of the transformer, to ensure safe transport and on-time delivery. Impact recorder (crash recorder / acceleration recorder, as shown in Fig. 1-1) is an instrument used to monitor and record vibration applied on the transformer in transport and handling process. Thus, transport quality of the transformer can be assessed by the recorded impact data. Fig. 1-1 Impact recorder Impact recorder must be mounted on the transformer tank cover or on the top of the oil tank, which shall work before shipment of the transformer. Even when the transport way of the transformer changes, impact recorder must also work to monitor and record the data until the transformer reaches the client’s mounting site. That is, in the entire process from shipment to the completion of positioning on the base, impact recorder must work normally. Transformer must be placed vertically, with its longitudinal direction (Y axis) consistent with the forward direction of transport vehicle; when mounting the impact recorder, its longitudinal direction (Y axis) must be consistent with the longitudinal direction (Y axis) of the transformer, to facilitate to record and analyze the impact. Placement of the transformer on the transport vehicle is shown in Fig. 1-2. Fig. 1-2 Placement of transformer on the transport vehicle Transport forward direction Transformer Transport vehicle

    Transformer Manual Page 5/53 Pleasenote that the impact recorder must work before shipment of the transformer. Transport company shall record the accurate shipment time, transport way change time, and base positioning time artificially, to investigate the transport vibration time, place, and degree of shock. Unless otherwise specified in the Contract or Technical Agreement, vibration applied on the transformer in the transport process shall be within the safe range specified in the relevant standard. 1.1.2 Inspection and confirmation for delivery of the transformer at power station 1.1.2.1 Visual inspection When the transformer reaches the delivery place, the transport company and receiving party shall visually check that the delivered / received goods are free of damage. If necessary, all goods packages shall be photographed for record. If the good packing box is damaged, abnormal or lacks of part, the transport company and receiving party shall make the common witness and photograph them for record if necessary. The shipping mark and the packing list examples are as shown in Fig. 1-3 (only for China domestic projects) and Fig. 1-4. Fig. 1-3 Sample of shipping mark Fig. 1-4 Sample of packing list
  • 504.
    Transformer Manual Page 6/53 Toensure safe and on-time delivery of the transformer, the transport company shall carry out the visual inspection daily in the transport process, including package appearance, main machine charge pressure, binding fixation, and running indication on the impact recorder. Note: If found that transformer is damaged on appearance or suspected that the transformer is damaged, you must inform the transport company, Zhongshan ABB and user immediately for this. 1.1.2.2 Report inspection for impact recorder When the transformer reaches the delivery place, it shall be unpacked under common witness of receiving party and transport company at site. At this time, the impact record shall be printed, and then signed by the transport company and receiving party for confirmation. If there is an import record value out of the safe range, the transport company shall inform Zhongshan ABB immediately for this. 1.1.2.3 Other checks If transport weight and dimensions meet the requirement, transformer can be transported with all or most of oil. In general, oil level in the oil tank shall be distanced 100mm from the tank cover, and dry air or nitrogen shall be charged in the space between the oil level and tank cover during transportation. Before shipment of the transformer, air pressure must be kept at positive pressure. To reduce the transport weight, for large transformer, all transformer oil shall be drained out to charge with dry gas (air or nitrogen), to keep the transformer and insulation layer dry. However, such large transformer must be charged with gas by the manufacturer, with gas source equipped to charge gas additionally in the transport process. For other non-large transformer required to be changed with gas for transportation, it shall be only charged with gas once before shipment and shall not be equipped with gas source. In general, transformer must be kept under positive pressure before shipment. For transformer charged with gas and air pressure gauge, please see Fig. 1-5. Fig. 1-5 Transformer and air pressure gauge appearances For transformer charged with oil for transportation, valves, flanges, casing and welding joints shall be checked for leakage. If necessary, oil sample must be made for test analysis of water content and electrical strength, to compare the test results with the factory test results before shipment. For transportation with oil and there is a gas layer above oil level, if oil leakage is found, leakage position shall be marked. In addition, those transformers shall be equipped with vacuum gauge / pressure gauge as possible, to monitor gas layer pressure. Those gauges must be calibrated regularly according to the requirement, and shall be marked according to the oil layer temperature reading. Although the transformer is under positive pressure (20~30KPa) before shipment, the gauge will give negative pressure or over-pressure reading indication when the transformer is under low-temperature or high-temperature environment. In worst case, the reading value may zero, which indicates a leakage. If zero reading is shown on the gauge, oil sample shall be made for water content and electrical test analysis (at this time, it is meaningless to find out the leaking point). 1.2 Packing list and transport manual 1.2.1 Overview
  • 505.
    Transformer Manual Page 7/53 Toprevent transport damage, some accessories, such as casing, shall be removed from the oil tank for separate package. Packing list describes how to pack and mark the parts removed from large transformer. Shipped products contain “main body” – sealed transformer oil tank including iron core and windings, “parts removed” from crate, and trolley etc. For the transformer with overall transport required without any dismantlement, some description files can be omitted. 1.2.2 Packing list Packing list includes several documents. This complete set of documents is placed in a separate box together with other technical documents. Each box or truck bed has its own packing list that includes a form involving many terms and a drawing to indicate the mounting positions of all objects on the transformer. This form lists the name, quantity, literature No., and other similar items. 1.2.3 Total packing box Parts are packed into the total packing box. Some parts that shall be assembled together continuously in assembly process shall be packed into the total packing box, such as “casing” and “oil protection system”. Each object required to be packed into a total packing box shall be placed into a group of boxes. In addition, a clear mark shall be made on the packing list to indicate which assembly box available for those boxes. The advantage of this packing system is to open the necessary box at the same time. The other boxes can be opened when necessary. Therefore, parts can be well protected and arranged in order. Packing boxes available for assembly shall be numbered generally according to the experience from company’s Service Department in a recommended installation order at site. Of course, the different number order can be used according to the different site condition. In the end of packing list, you can find some relevant information about the new spare sealing gaskets used for assembly, surface paint and documents locations. 1.2.4 Transport manual Transport manual is a set of documents having drawing No. for different order, including transport inspection and handling, which is available for overseas transport. These files will be sent together with the shipping list. The other same files shall be packed into a protective bag and then placed them into the oil tank on the transformer tank wall or into other marked place. Some forms require to be filled in and signed by forwarder, transport manager and other transport representative in transport process, and shall be submitted to Zhongshan ABB. Instruction involves the hoisting and supporting of main body of transformer, various inspections and visual acceptance, with two monitoring items as follows: Transformer charged with slight positive-pressure dry air or dry nitrogen in the oil tank must be monitored in transport process. The other important monitoring task is to monitor the impact recorder that is generally mounted on the oil tank of main body of transformer. The final inspection is when the transformer is accepted at site. 1.3 Transformer unloading and movement 1.3.1 Check before unloading
  • 506.
    Transformer Manual Page 8/53 Beforeremoval from the transport tool, check that the transformer is not missed or damaged in transport process. During check process, the relevant transport list, packing list, transport map and other documents must be used for this. If no any transport damage is found, you can remove the transformer from the transport tool. If found, please contact the representative of Zhongshan ABB for further guidance. The missing or damaged part shall be recorded on the delivery list provided by the transport company. If hidden damage is found, the transport company must be required to carry out inspection immediately. 1.3.2 Transformer unloading Form many large transformers, the transport tools with lower center of gravity shall be used for road or rail transport. Transformer must have transport supporting points or pulleys for removal from the transport tool, to lift or slide it to the correct mounting position at site from the transport tool. Note: Equipment damage or personnel injury may be caused if non-compliance with this guidance. 1.3.2.1 Lift transformer with crane It is a most convenient method that the transformer is lifted from the transport tool with crane having the sufficient lifting capacity. The enough long lifting rope is used to meet the lifting angle requirement specified on the transport map or outline drawing, with lifting angel of less than 60º as possible, as shown in Fig. 1-6. Tie the lifting rope on the lifting lugs (their position are generally located at four corners of transformer oil tank, as shown on the outline drawing) of the transformer. Any place rather than specified lifting position is forbidden to lift the transformer. Warning Lifting rope against any accessory (such as display instrument or casing) is forbidden
  • 507.
    Transformer Manual Page 9/53 Fig.1-6 Lifting angle 1.3.2.2 Unload the transformer without crane If the appropriate crane is not used, the transformer shall be lifted with jack and then moved to the specified position in a rolling or sliding method. Place the jack under the jack bracket of the transformer, as shown in Fig. 1-7. Furthermore, four jacks shall be placed simultaneously, to keep the transformer level in the jacking process (jack directly placing on the base plate of the transport vehicle is forbidden). Fig. 1-7 Jack supporting points In the unloading and sliding process, vehicles must be well padded, to ensure that the transformer keeps stable in the jacking process. Warning In the transformer jacking process, jack must be directly located under the reinforcing plate of jack bracket on the transformer to prevent sliding out. Otherwise, major equipment damage or personnel injury may be caused. Lift the transformer about 20~25cm and then place the timber. For safety reason, space height error under the transformer can not exceed 5cm. When the transformer is placed on the movable tool, timber must be located on the its symmetrical point. Timber or rail size must exceed width of box bottom of the transformer, to prevent damage to the transformer base in the movement process. Place the transformer on the timber and then move the jack away. Built the pads near the transport tool, with height consistent with that of timber under the transformer box, and then slide the transformer on the stacked wood. For traction of transformer, only specified hole on the transformer can be used. Warning Traction rope contacting with the pipes on the transformer or cooling equipment is forbidden

    Transformer Manual Page 12/53 Ifdrums are used, place them at the middle position of bases of box walls at both sides directly, with distance between two drums of not more than 1m. Otherwise, transformer box bottom may be damaged. 1.4 Monitoring of dry air during transportation and storage of transformer without gas cylinder Note: During transportation, sometimes nitrogen is used instead of dry air. If so, there is a clear tip on the transformer oil tank. However, this guidance manual is also available. Such transformer is not filled with oil and all parts have been removed during transportation. The transformer oil tank is charged with the positive-pressure dry air. During transport and storage period of transformer, it is important that its normal sealing performance is kept. Air pressure shall be monitored regularly. Operation Instruction and Record Sheet are included in the Transport Manual. 1.4.1 Pressure gauge and gas charging valve Pressure gauge and gas charging valve are installed under the protective cover with opening on it at side or top of transformer, with transparent protective cover used for monitoring; or stainless steel cover can also be used. In the latter case, re-sealing shall be performed after each inspection. Reading on the pressure gauge is ranged 0~60kPa. Outlet of gas charging device is connected with hose with 5~8mm internal thread. 1.4.2 Pressure limit Before shipment, air pressure in the transformer oil tank is 20kPa (at 20 ℃), which may changes with the different environmental temperature, as shown in Fig. 1-10. There is a certain positive pressure even at -25℃; the pressure is about 30kPa in the warmer climates. 0 10 20 30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 Temperature O C Pressure kPa Fig. 1-10 Different pressures under different environmental temperature If no any pressure is found through inspection, there indicates that a clear leakage occurs at some place. Sometimes, negative pressure may occur (as temperature drops suddenly), which indicates that moisture may enters into oil tank. If no any pressure is present, you must report this immediately to take the further measure. If there is pressure indication on the pressure gauge but pressure value is lower than 5kPa, you shall charge air to keep 20kPa pressure. Dew point of the charged dry air must be lower than -40℃. Before charging, blow the hose with air.

If the transformer arrives at the site but can not be mounted timely, accessories shall be stored correctly. Transport part includes “transformer body” – closed oil tank and its internal iron core and coils, wooden crate and wooden box. Those shall be recorded on the Packing List. Transformer body must be placed on the level foundation. Place the transformer on the foundation shown on the Outline Drawing or Foundation Plan, to prevent deformation or damage to box bottom. Most of wooden crates and wooden boxes must be stored indoor, to prevent rain. They can be stored outdoors but must be separated from the ground, and shall be covered with waterproof paulin. 2.1 Separate storage of accessories Some accessories will not be mounted immediately after arrival. They must be protected during storage, to prevent damage or missing. The general requirements for storage of some accessories at site are as follows. 2.1.1 Radiator and Cooler Wooden block shall be padded under radiator, to prevent radiator from directly placing on the floor. Check the exhaust and drain plugs visually. If loose, re-tighten them before storage. 2.1.2 Casing storage The casing that has been removed for transport purpose shall be stored in the crate box, and only taken out just before installation. The box shall be arranged at direction with casing top slightly higher than the other side. Furthermore, casing leaflet shall be complied with for temporary storage. 2.1.3 On-load tap changer Generally, on-load tap changer is connected with transformer body, and sometimes may be removed for transport purpose. In eight case, on-load tap changer shall be filled with oil before storage, to prevent negative pressure. Heater in the on-load pressure regulation electrical control box shall be powered on, to keep the control box dry. 2.1.4 Cooling fan Cooling fan shall be placed at clean and dry place. 2.1.5 Other packing box Packing box marked with damp-proof and fragile marks shall be stored at clean and dry place.

For treatment method, see 3.5. 2.2 Storage of main body filling with transformer oil (transportation with oil) If filled with oil, the transformer can be stored for a long term thanks to its correct maintenance method. When the transformer arrives, it shall be placed on the permanent foundation or solid temporary foundation as soon as possible, and shall be checked and tested regularly. Before storage, if damaged or missing part is found, please inform Zhongshan ABB timely. Furthermore, all possible mountable accessories shall be installed and the remaining accessories shall be stored at the appropriate position. Transformer oil tank or some main components such as casing lifting seat have been removed for transport purpose. Those components must be covered permanently. If casings have been installed before storage, a temporary grounding shall be performed between those casings and oil tank. Take oil sample from the sampling valve at bottom of oil tank for test. If an air cushion requires above the oil level for storage, negative pressure can not occur in the oil tank during storage. There must be a sheet to record temperature and pressure values, with those values recorded daily before two weeks and weekly for the following one month and then monthly. If some parts of transformer are filled with transformer oil and equipped with breather, desiccant must be checked for its dry state according to the Product Operation Manual. After storage for six months, oil sample shall be taken from the body and other oil filling parts for test according to the normal maintenance plan specified by User. 2.3 Storage of main body filling with dry gas (transportation with charged gas) If transformer requires to be stored for several months before installation, we strongly recommend that the transformer shall be filled with oil for storage. If it is infeasible to fill oil, air can be charged for this according to the following requirements. In any case, no any negative pressure is forbidden in the transformer filling with air during storage. There must be a sheet to record temperature and pressure values, with those values recorded daily before two weeks and weekly for the following one month and then monthly.

The key to handle oil at site is that impurities in the oil shall be filtered away, to remove moisture and gas from the oil; power-frequency breakdown voltage of oil and moisture content and gas content in the oil shall meet the requirements of the corresponding voltage grade oil of transformer. 3.2.2 Quality control of oil before filling Quality of transformer oil before filling must meet or excel the requirement of GB standard or IEC60422, as shown in Table 3-4 and Table 3-5 for details. Table 3-4 GB/T 14542-2005 Requirements of purified new oil Item Equipment voltage grade 330-220 ≤110 Breakdown voltage / kV ≥55 ≥45 Moisture (mg/kg) ≤15 ≤20 Dielectric dissipation factor 90℃ ≤0.005 ≤0.005 Dissolved gas content ul/L Hydrogen 10 Ethyne = 0 Total hydrocarbon 20 Table 3-5 IEC60422 Quality requirement for oil 3.3 Add oil at site Based on experience, add oil as soon as possible after completion of installation of transformer. 3.3.1 Add oil under normal pressure Adding oil under normal pressure is that oil is added into the installed transformer that is filled with oil for transport purpose (oil level close to box cover). The qualified transformer oil is added to the rated oil level through the oil filter, with oil volume of not generally more than 16% of total volume of transformer oil. For oil adding, the oil filter can be used according to the procedure shown on Fig. 3-4.
  • 520.
    Transformer Manual Page 22/53 Fig.3-4 Oiling connection diagram Qualified transformer oil is filled into transformer through oil filter form oil tank, with nearest distance between oil filter and transformer kept as possible. Add oil into the oil tank through the oil filter valve at top. Open the connection valve on the oil tank to exhaust air from the breathing tube on the main body. Open all butterfly valves on the radiator. When oil reaches the standard oil level, exhaust air from the radiator, lifting seat, casing, and gas relay and at last correct the oil level according to the oil temperature – oil level curve. After filling oil, pressurize flange port of the breather on main body for 24h leakage test. Before relief of gas pressure, drain air from the oil tank, lifting seat, gas relay, casing, and radiator again. 3.3.2 Vacuum oil filling In general, transformer charged with air for transport purpose shall be filled with oil under vacuum condition. Such transformer oil tank is generally designed to support full vacuum. That is called “anti-vacuum”. For specific degree of vacuum, please refer to main nameplate on the transformer. Note: Although the transformer oil tank is resistant to vacuum, there are still some special parts to prevent being damaged (such as insulation bucket between on-load tap changer oil chamber and main oil tank, some parts of cooling device, and rubber bags of oil tank). Please read the part instruction and refer the main nameplate of the transformer before vacuum treatment. Vacuum equipment required to add oil shall be used to improve the degree of drying of the transformer insulation. If the transformer is wetted accidentally in transport or on-site installation process, thermal oil cycle treatment shall be performed on transformer after completion of oil filling. 3.3.2.1 Required equipments For vacuum oil filling, high vacuum oil filter having oil constant temperature control shall be used, which shall met the following requirements: 1. To reduce water in the oil, making water content of not more than 10ppm (50 to 80 °C); and degassed gas content can not exceed 0.5% (add oil from box top) or not exceed 0.2% (add oil from box bottom). 2. Oil filter can remove particles with size of more than 5μm. 3. Oil filter oil filling speed can not be less than 2000 liters / hour. 4. Oil outlet flow temperature can reach 50-80 ℃.

Vacuum pump shall have sufficient capacity (for large and medium transformer, 250m3 / h or 150 cubic feet / hour), to pump oil from the oil tank until the residual pressure is less than 0.1kPa (about 0.75Torr), or reach 0.03kPa (about 0.2Torr) as possible. 7. For vacuum measuring gauge, its measurement range shall be 0.02−1kPa (0.15−7.5Torr). If mercury vacuum gauge is used, a mercury capture device must be used to prevent mercury into the transformer. 8. Anti-vacuum oil resistance hose, valve and fittings shall be connected with transformer oil tank, oil filter and oil tank; oil filter valve shall be used on the oil tank (refer to Outline Drawing of transformer). 9. A transparent and anti-vacuum plastic pipe shall be used for oil level indicator for connection of instrument and adding oil. 10. Oil tank (with desiccant breather) 3.3.2.2 Preparation before adding oil After completion of installation of transformer, add oil as soon as possible. If not completed, adding the qualified oil or charging dry air is also possible. Oil pipes and accessories shall be first installed, which is in favor of adding oil as soon as possible. And then oil immersion protection is performed on the iron core and windings in the instrument. Although oil shall be added as quickly as possible, if measures are taken to prevent moisture from entering into the transformer, the transformer can be stored for a long term. In the first week of long-term storage, most of transformer oil has been drained out of the insulation material, not increasing vacuum treatment time. 3.3.2.3 Seals inspection during installation In the on-site installation process, each process must be controlled. Furthermore, after each work is over, transformer must be sealed, and charged with dry air with pressure slightly higher than atmospheric pressure (when overnight or in bad weather). When work starts, air pressure under the relevant temperature must be checked. For inspection of seals of transformer, leakage detector, soapy water or valve binding with plastic bag (expanded due to leaked air) shall be used for this. The leak point can be successfully detected with those methods. 3.3.2.4 Vacuum treatment with final sealing test Before oiling, final detection and vacuum treatment shall be performed for seals of the whole transformer including cooling equipments. Before vacuuming and oiling, first check that the pressure relief device has been mounted. Oil conservator is not necessarily vacuum resistant. If not, valve located between oil conservator and main oil tank shall be closed and oil drain valve of oil conservator shall be opened. If oil conserver is vacuum resistant, when vacuuming, be sure to note that the same pressure is kept between both sides of rubber bag or diaphragm, and ensure that ball valve on the oil conserver is at open state and that interior and exterior of rubber bag are connected and keep the same pressure, as shown in Fig. 3-5.

    Transformer Manual Page 24/53 Fig.3-5 Oil conservator with rubber bag Note: On-load tap changer oil chamber shall be handled according to the special instruction of this switch. For vacuuming, it is best to connect the on-load tap charger oil chamber with main oil tank. Sealing test procedure as follows: (1) Connect vacuum gauge with the appropriate valve on the oil tank. For transformer that can not be vacuumed on the oil conservator, vacuum gauge shall be mounted on the highest point on the tank cover or gas relay as possible, which can ensure that the transformer oil tank can be vacuum- oiled until the pressure equals to zero before opening the butterfly valve of the oil conservator. (2) Connect the vacuum pump with oil filter valve on the top of oil tank or breather valve on the oil conservator (if vacuum-resistant). (3) Vacuumize until pressure is less than 0.3kPa (about 2.3mmHg) (4) Close valve on the vacuum pump and read the first pressure value P1 after one hour. (5) After 30 minutes, read the second pressure value P2. (6) Re-calculate oil volume based on oil weight specified on nameplate, with unit of liter. (7) Calculation of leakage rate: L= (P2 -P1) x V /t L: Leakage rate (mbar. L/s) P1: First pressure reading (mbar,1mbar=100Pa) P2: Second pressure reading (mbar) V: Oil tank volume (L, oil weight (t) /0.88*1000) t: 30 minutes = 1800s If calculated value L20, it can be considered that the transformer is well sealed. Read the value again after 30 minutes, to confirm results. (8) After completion of sealing test, vacuum pump shall continue to vacuumize until pressure is less than 133Pa (1Torr). Before vacuum-oiling, vacuum shall be kept for a long time according to the requirement of Table 3- 6. (9) If the required degree of vacuum can not reach or can not be kept, find out leak points for repair (see above section) This ball valve must be opened, to ensure consistent internal and external pressures of rubber bag

Air in the oil hose between main oil tank and oil filter shall be drained as possible. For oiling, vacuum pumping shall be performed continuously, and oil shall be added from valve located at lower part of transformer. Oiling speed must be controlled to ensure that vacuum pressure is less than 133Pa (1Torr). For oil conservator that is vacuum-resistant and can be vacuumized together with main oil tank, when oil is added to the specified oil level, correction must be performed according to the oil temperature – oil level curve (also refer to the Instruction of oil conservator equipped with rubber bag). For transformer that can not be vacuumized in the oil conservator, as oil conservator is closed when vacuumizing, when the oil is added to the position near the tank box, close the valve of vacuum pump (to prevent transformer oil into vacuum pump) to continue to add oil slowly. Observe vacuum gauge and stop oiling when the pressure is close to zero. Open the butterfly valve of the oil conservator and close its oil drain valve. If rubber bag-type oil conservator is used, when pressurized to 7kPa (1psi), open plug on the oil conservator to add oil until oil flows from air relief plugs at both ends. Close air relief plug and relieve gas pressure in rubber bag. And then add oil to reach the specified oil level. Lift the seat and exhaust air from casing.

    Transformer Manual Page 26/53 Connectthe oil drain valve on the main conservator body with that on the on-load tap changer with hose, to make oil slowly flow into the oil conservator of on-load tap changer automatically. 3.3.2.7 Add oil into the independent radiator The independent and vacuum-resistant radiator unit (suspended or supported on the oil tank) can not be mounted or its connection with oil tank can be disconnected when adding oil into the main oil tank. Same with main oil tank, after passed the appropriate vacuum sealing test, add the qualified transformer oil into radiator through the vacuum oil filter separately. 3.3.2.8 Re-add oil after abnormal interruption If oiling stops due to equipment failure or other cause, or oil level is lower after oiling, the following correction measures can be taken. If oil level is higher than coil and the insulation material is still immersed into oil, oil can continue to add from bottom. If oil level is lower than coil and insulation material is exposed outside, be sure to re-add oil. First oil is pumped out to re-check seals under vacuum state, and then re-add oil according to the above steps. Note If oil inhales with air, vacuumizing above oil level is very dangerous. Air will form bubbles in the oil and those bubbles may be absorbed on the insulation system. Thus, those bubbles may be present for a long time and then enter into the oil, to cause failure of insulation medium. Therefore, this situation shall be prevented. 3.3.2.9 Hot oil circulation in transformer oil tank If transformer oil tank together with iron core and coils are filled with oil under vacuum condition, there will no any bubble in the insulation system to cause breakdown of voltage strength. In order to ensure that insulation is completely immersed with transformer oil, the transformer oil in the oil tank can be circulated through oil filter. Oil circulation of transformer main oil tank is shown in Fig. 3-7: Fig. 3-7 Main oil tank oil circulation diagram

    Transformer Manual Page 27/53 Transformercan form a closed ring through connection of upper and lower oil filter valve and oil filter, with oil circulation direction from oil filter to top of oil tank of transformer and then enter the oil filter through bottom of transformer. Temperature of oil flowing from oil filter shall reach 50-80℃. Oil circulation shall be carried out continuously until oil volume in the oil tank is more than two times of total volume (oil circulation time may increase under environmental temperature of less than 0℃: If environmental temperature is ranged 0℃ to -20℃, three times of circulation time is required; if lower than -20℃, four times is required). 3.3.3 Quality requirements for oil after filling After transformer is filled with oil or oil circulation is over, oil sample shall be taken for test. For test requirements, please refer to GB/7595 or values recommended in IEC60422.

The basic principle of paint repair is that the damaged paint coating is repaired, making it same with the surrounding paint. It is optimal that paint repair range is as small as possible, allowing make-up paint looks natural. Manual spray is recommended for galvanized and stainless steel surfaces.

    Transformer Manual Page 33/53 Milliohmmeter can not be used to measure coil resistance. At the moment of milliohmmeter disconnecting from the coil, the induced voltage may cause injury to the operator. 4.2.3 Measurement of voltage ratios of all taps: Measured voltage ratios of all taps shall be no significant difference with data specified on the nameplate provided by manufacturer, and comply with the rules on voltage ratio; for power transformer with voltage grade of 220kV and above, allowable error of its voltage ratio shall be ± 0.5% at rated tap position. Note: The no significant difference can be considered as follows: 1. For transformer with voltage grade of less than 35kV and voltage ratio of less than 3, allowable tolerance shall not exceed ± 1%; 2. For all other transformers, allowable tolerance of voltage ratio at rated tap shall not exceed ±0.5%; 3. When tap switch is located at rated and two limit tapping positions, the current of each phase shall be measured while measuring the voltage. If error calculation value caused by low measurement accuracy is within ± 10% and three-phase values are equal, these measured values are considered acceptable. Measurement of current in powered coil is to find out interturn short-circuit in coil. Current value of more than 500mA is invalid (typical 1-20mA). It must be noted that as the magnetic circuits of side phase and intermediate phase are different, to cause that current of side phase is more 40- 50% than that of intermediate phase. 4.2.4Inspection of three-phase wiring group of transformer and polarity of leading-wire of single-phase transformer Check that three-phase wiring group of transformer and polarity of leaking-out wires of single-phase transformer shall comply with the design requirements and marks on the nameplate and signs on the shell. 4.2.5 Measurement of insulation resistances of iron cores and clamp: After installation, measure the insulation resistances of iron core and clamp (with external grounding wire); Iron core must be grounded at one point; insulation resistance of shell shall be measured before oiling; 2500V megger shall be used to measure for 1min, without any flashover and breakdown. 4.2.6 Non-pure porcelain casing test; 1. Measure the insulation resistance of main insulation layer of casing; for capacitor casing with voltage of 66kV and above, insulation resistance of “pumping small casing” to flange or “measuring small casing” to flange shall be measured. 2500V megger is used to measure insulation resistance, with measured value of lower than 1000MΩ. Under condition that room temperature of not lower than 10℃, dielectric loss tangent tanδ of casing shall not be more than value specified in Table 4-2-6. 2.

Before filling the insulation oil into the oil tank of change-over switch, its breakdown voltage shall be in accordance with Table 4-2. 4.2.8 Measurement of insulation resistance, absorption ratio or polarization index of windings and casings; Measure the insulation resistances between coils and between coil and ground, to ensure no any dirty on porcelain casing, because the insulation resistance may be deteriorated by dirty. If calculated by system voltage, insulation resistance of coil is more than 1Mohm/kV, which can be considered acceptable. If measured temperature inconsistent with factory test temperature, the measured values can be converted to those at the same temperature, as shown in Table 4-5; Table 4-5 Temperature conversion factor of insulation resistance of oil immersible power transformer Temperature difference K 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Conversion factor A 1.2 1.5 1.8 2.3 2.8 3.4 4.1 5.1 6.2 7.5 9.2 11.2 Note: 1 K in table is a value that the measured temperature is subtracted by absolute value at 20℃. 2 Upper layer oil temperature shall be prevail for measurement.

    Transformer Manual Page 42/53 5.1.1Transformer load size and ambient temperature are main factors to affect the top layer oil temperature of transformer. The inching switches are set on the oil level thermometer and winding thermometer, to control the starting and stopping of ventilation devices (such as fan) and to issue an alarm and tipping signal. If you found that thermometer pointer is not moved for a long time, this means that the thermometer has been damaged and shall be replaced or repaired. If found that temperature rises abnormally, check whether the valves of cooling device can be opened normally, whether there is foreign object to obstruct the cooling and that the cooling fan works normally. Example for thermometer: Messko thermometer Red pointer is used to indicate max. temperature that have been reached, which can be dialed to close to black pointer. This black pointer indicates the current temperature. 5.1.2 Oil conservator of the transformer generally adopts rubber bag sealed structure and bellows expansion type structure. For former, oil level gauge is used to indicate oil level, which is equipped with microswitch that can issue a high or low oil level alarm. For latter, the view window can be used to directly observe oil level. Oil temperature and oil level relation curves are set on the transformer. Displayed value on the oil level gauge shall be close to curve, with 10% error allowed.

The operator body shall enter into the oil tank for this. For internal inspection of transformer, this method can be available. In case of some special situation, internal inspection of transformer may be required, such as oil sludge sedimentation in the transformer, low insulation resistance; serious system failure; If observation through manhole can not be for this, operator can enter the tank for inspection. 5.5.1 Oil discharge treatment for transformer For replacement of accessories and seals or entering into the tank for inspection, part of all of transformer oil shall be drained from the oil tank. As our company uses a rubber bag sealed oil conservator, when the transformer is running normally, valve at top of oil conservator will close, so air only enters into the rubber bag through moisture absorber. For discharge of transformer oil, open the valve at top of oil conservator and air relief plugs at both ends, to allow air into transformer for effective discharge.

    Transformer Manual Page 52/53 Fig.5.1 Structure diagram of rubber bag sealed oil conservator, Note If valve at top of oil conservator and air relief plugs for oil discharge, negative pressure may occur in the transformer, which may cause damage to rubber bag if serious. If too much oil is discharged, the insulating part shall be exposed in the air. Therefore, we recommended that dry air shall be charged into the transformer to replace the transformer oil, to prevent insulation from wetting. If someone enters into the tank for inspection, dry air must flow in the oil tank in a circulation way. 5.5.2 Internal inspection of transformer Warning Only when the oxygen content in the air in the transformer exceeds 19.5%, someone can enter into the transformer oil tank or can inhale air inside.

    1.Transformer drying andtreatment of oil If the transformers insulation is found to be moist it must be dried. In case of the humidity balance between oil and insulation most of the humidity will gather in the paper insulation. Therefore it is not enough for the oil to be dried but also the paper insulation must be dried. Dried oil soon becomes moist, if the insulating paper is not dry. There are several different drying methods. Oil can be circulated through a filtering and cleaning apparatus when the transformer is in operation or the transformer can be disconnected from the network, drained of oil, and the cleaning and drying can be carried out separately both for the oil and transformer. The transformer can also be dried by vacuum treatment with the help of heat. Oil handling is best done by vacuum treatment apparatus which also includes a filter. The difficulty in all of these cases is the fact that humidity is diffusing very slowly from oily insulations. Therefore the drying of moist, from an oily transformer takes generally several weeks. Shorter drying time will be achieved if vacuum, necessary for steaming of oil, can be applied. 1.1 Vacuum drying Vacuum drying can be carried out in the transformers own tank, providing the tank can withstand vacuum. The tanks of large transformers are generally vacuum-proof. The suction pipe of the vacuum pump will generally be fastened to the connection flange of the oil conservator located on the transformer cover. If the tank do not withstand vacuum, the transformer is dried in a vacuum treatment tank specially built for this purpose. Vacuum drying ensures that the transformer is heated up to a temperature of 60...90 °C. During vacuum drying, the temperature of the insulation should be maintained at the above temperature by supplying power at DC directly to the windings under vacuum. The temperature of the transformer can be controlled by means of winding resistance measurements. At the end of the drying operation the pressure of transformer must be less than 150 Pa (approx. 1 torr ≅ 1.5 mbar). During the vacuum process while simultaneously being heated, water is effectively evaporated from the transformer. 1.2 Drying control The progress of transformer drying can be followed by controlling the pressure ingress of water and temperature. Drying is complete when the pressure does not fall any more and the ingress of water is slow. It is very difficult to achieve a totally dry unit as a result of drying a moist oil-insulated transformer. The deepest parts of the insulation tend to contain notable amounts of humidity, which will later diffuse into the surface layers and oil. The result of the drying can be checked by means of insulation resistance measurement. The insulation resistance of the transformer depends both on moisture and temperature. The insulation resistance is measured by means of teraohmmeter or DC-megger from each winding to earth, while other windings are connected to earth. The insulation resistance is read 15 and 60 seconds after the measuring voltage has been connected and the meter has been in continuous operation. The ratio R R 60 15 : of the values obtained in this measurement usually ranges from approx. 1.3 to 3 in dry transformers. During vacuum drying the maximum test voltage for insulation resistance measurements

    is 500 Vas the voltage withstand level under vacuum is strongly reduced. In case a final moisture value is required to be measured, it can be done with chemical methods from special paper samples inserted into the transformer. 1.3 Filling the transformer with oil after vacuum treatment When the transformer is proved to be dry after vacuum treatment, oil filling can begin. Oil is slowly directed to the upper part of the tank and the highest possible vacuum is maintained all the time. The filling speed is correct if the vacuum does not considerably decrease during filling. When the windings and insulation parts are below the oil level, the oil filling is interrupted. When deaerated oil is used, the vacuum must be maintained for several hours so that all the residual gas is removed from the oil. The rest of the oil can be filled normally according to item 6.2. For vacuum filling, it is advisable, whenever possible, to use pre-treated oil from which air has been removed. Finally, it is recommended to take a sample of the oil in the transformer to check the dielectric strength. For a high voltage transformer (rated voltage 45 kV or higher), which has been transported filled with air or gas, the oil filling is carried out as mentioned above. After filling with oil, the trapped air must be released after filling with oil in the following order: - covers - bushings - gas relay Releasing air can be carried out using the air release screws fitted in suitable places. 1.4 Transformer oil The task of the oil in a transformer is to act as an electrical insulation on and to transfer heat from the transformer's active parts into the coolers. Oil acts as a good electrical insulation only as long as it is satisfactorily dry and clean. Oil gets dirty in use and ages gradually. Therefore its properties deteriorate until it is no longer usable. Therefore part of the operational reliability depends on the oil being tested regularly. By testing the oil, faults which can possibly generate gas can be detected before they lead to more severe damage. Oil handling, treatment and requirements of the oil have been dealt with in a separate manual.
