Performance features
The TAPCON® is responsible for controlling tapped transformers.
Apart from control tasks, the TAPCON® provides additional functions such
as:
▪ Integrated protective functions:
– Undervoltage blocking and overvoltage blocking
– Overvoltage detection with high-speed return
▪ Compensation for voltage drops on the line (line drop compensation)
▪ Compensation for voltage fluctuations in the meshed grid (Z compensa-
tion)
▪ Digital inputs and outputs can be individually programmed on-site by the
user
▪ Additional indicators using LEDs outside the display for freely selectable
functions
▪ Display of all measured values such as voltage, current, active power,
apparent power or reactive power, power factor (cos φ)
▪ Selection of 3 different desired values
▪ Power-dependent desired value adjustment
