Figure 123: Signal flow for a single transformer with voltage control
On the HV side, the three-phase current is normally required in order to feed the
three-phase over current protection that blocks the load tap changer in case of over-
current above harmful levels.
The voltage measurement on the LV-side can be made single phase-earth.
However, it shall be remembered that this can only be used in solidly earthed
systems, as the measured phase-earth voltage can increase with as much as a factor
√3 in case of earth faults in a non-solidly earthed system.
The analog input signals are normally common with other functions in the IED for
example, protection functions.
The LV-busbar voltage is designated U
B
, the load current I
L
 and
load point voltage U
L
.
Automatic voltage control for a single transformer
SEMOD159053-73 v6
Automatic voltage control for tap changer, single control TR1ATCC measures the
magnitude of the busbar voltage U
B
. If no other additional features are enabled
(line voltage drop compensation), this voltage is further used for voltage
regulation.
