7.3.7 Bandwidth
The bandwidth is the permitted deviation of the measured voltage (V
Actual
) from
the selected desired value. If the measured voltage is inside the bandwidth,
then no control commands are issued to the on-load tap-changer.
If the measured voltage deviates from the specified bandwidth, a tap-change
command occurs after the set delay time T1. The on-load tap-changer carries
out a tap-change in a positive or negative direction.
If the level is persistently above or below the bandwidth, the Function monitor-
ing alarm message is triggered after 15 minutes. The corresponding relay is
also activated. The alarm message is only reset when the measured voltage
returns to the set bandwidth.
