position). The load current lags the busbar voltage U
B
with the power factor j and the

has the argument j2 and it is realised that if j2 is
slightly less than -90°, then U
L
will have approximately the same length as U
B
regardless of the
magnitude of the transformer load current I
T
(indicated with the dashed line). The automatic
tap change control regulates the voltage towards a set target value, representing a voltage
magnitude, without considering the phase angle. Thus, U
B
as well as U
L
and also the dashed
line could all be said to be on the target value.

EQUATION1938 V1 EN-US (Equation 127)
If for example cosj = 0.8 then j = arcos 0.8 = 37°. With the references in figure 162, j will be

EQUATION1939 V1 EN-US (Equation 128)
To achieve a more correct regulation, an adjustment to a value of j2 slightly less than -90° (2 –
4° less) can be made.
