Whenareactiveenergyregulatorisinstalled,aseriesofparametersmustbeconguredforits
correct operation. Some of these parameters might be hard to know, such as, for example, the
voltage phases or the voltage corresponding to the current measured, as well as the current
transformer ratio.
The computer MAX features a smart automatic process that detects the necessary parame-
ters, such as:
C/K: calculates the ratio between the current transformer and the power of the smallest
step.
