Function description of the voltage regulation
The TAPCON® 260 serves to keep constant the output voltage of a bank of
transformers with on-load tap-changers. The bank of transformers consists
of 3 single-phase transformers, each with an on-load tap-changer and mo-
tor-drive unit.
The TAPCON® 260 compares the measured voltage of the bank of trans-
formers (U
actual
) with a defined reference voltage (U
desired
). The difference be-
tween U
actual
and U
desired
is the control deviation (dU).
The TAPCON® 260 parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage
response to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of
tap-change operations by the on-load tap-changer.
The following diagram shows an overview of voltage regulation.
