4.2 Function description of the voltage regulation
The TAPCON® keeps the output voltage of a transformer with an on-load
tap-changer constant.
The TAPCON® compares the transformer's measured voltage (U
actual
) with a
defined reference voltage (U
desired
). The difference between U
actual
and U
desired
is the control deviation dU.
The TAPCON® parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage be-
havior to achieve a balanced control response with the on-load tap-changer
only performing a small number of tap-change operations.
