Function description of the voltage regulation
The TAPCON serves to keep constant the output voltage of a transformer
with an on-load tap-changer.
The TAPCON compares the transformer's measured voltage (V
actual
) with a
defined reference voltage (V
desired
). The difference between V
actual
and V
desired
is the control deviation (dV).
The TAPCON parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage re-
sponse to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of tap-
change operations.
The following diagram shows an overview of voltage regulation.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging, transport and storage
Suitability, structure and production
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the
shipment is secure when in the intended transportation position and that
none of its parts touch the loading surface of the means of transport or touch
the ground after unloading.
The box is designed for a maximum load of 10 kg.
Inlays inside the box stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible changes
of position, and protect them from vibration.
Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expected
during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping,
tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or expe-
riences an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
Completeness based on the delivery slip
External damage of any type.
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con-
tainer can be accessed from all sides.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and
the relevant insurance company.
After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment
further and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision
has been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
Record the details of the damage immediately onsite together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!
If possible, photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This
also applies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to mois-
ture inside the packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
Be absolutely sure to also check the sealed packaging.
When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.

Storage of shipments
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting
snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and
against unauthorized access.
Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
Keep entrance paths free.
Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action af-
ter storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.

Connecting device
The following section describes how to establish the electrical connection to
the device.
WARNING
Electric shock
Risk of fatal injury due to connection mistakes
Ground the device with a protective conductor using the grounding
screw on the housing.
Note the phase difference of the secondary terminals for the current
transformer and voltage transformer.
Connect the output relays correctly to the motor-drive unit.
Supply the voltage via separators and ensure that current paths can be
short circuited. Fit the separator, clearly labeled, near the device's power
supply so that it is freely accessible. This will allow the device to be re-
placed with ease in the event of a defect.
Cable recommendation
Please note the following recommendation from Maschinenfabrik Reinhau-
sen when wiring the device.
Excessive line capacitance can prevent the relay contacts from breaking the
contact current. In control circuits operated with alternating current, take into
account the effect of the line capacitance of long control lines on the func-
tion of the relay contacts.

Information about laying fiber-optic cable
To ensure the smooth transfer of data via the fiber-optic cable, you must en-
sure that mechanical loads are avoided when laying the fiber-optic cable and
later on during operation.
Please note the following:
Radii must not fall below the minimum permissible bend radii (do not
bend fiber-optic cable).
The fiber-optic cables must not be over-stretched or crushed. Observe
the permissible load values.
The fiber-optic cables must not be twisted.
Be aware of sharp edges which could damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating when laying or could place mechanical loading on the coating
later on.
Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets for example.
Lay the reserve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted
when tightened.

Information about shielding the CAN bus
In order for the CAN bus to operate faultlessly, you have to connect the
shielding using one of the following variants. If you are not able to use any of
the variants detailed below, we recommend using fiber optic cables. Fiber
optic cables decouple the voltage regulators and are not sensitive to electro-
magnetic interferences (surge and burst).
NOTICE

Damage to the device
If you connect the CAN bus cable to devices with different potential, current
may flow over the shielding. This current may damage the device.
Connect the devices to a potential compensation rail to compensate for
potential.
If both devices have different potentials, only connect the CAN bus ca-
ble's shielding to one device.
Variant 1: The connected devices share the same potential
If the devices to be connected share the same potential, proceed as follows:
1. Connect all devices to a potential compensation rail to compensate for
the potential.
2. Connect CAN bus cable's shielding to all connected devices.
Variant 2: The connected devices have different potential
Note that the shielding is less effective with this variant.

Checking circulating reactive current sensitivity
This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive
current sensitivity.
Select the "Circulating reactive current" parallel operation method
[ 78].
Set circulating reactive current sensitivity to a value of 0% [ 78].
1. Adjust both transformers in simplex mode to the same actual voltage by
means of the on-load tap-changer.
2. Connect the transformers in parallel and enable the parallel control.
The two TAPCON units must still be in a state of equilibrium.
The status display in the Parallel operation menu lights up blue.
3. On one of the two transformers, raise the tap position of the on-load tap-
changer by one setting; on the second transformer, lower the tap posi-
tion of the on-load tap-changer by one setting.
The two TAPCON units must still be in a state of equilibrium.
4. Adjust the circulating reactive current sensitivity until the result displayed
in the Measured values menu item exceeds the set value for the band-
width by approx. 0.2% to 0.3%.
5. Set the value given in the previous step for all TAPCON units in paral-
lel operation.
6. Press to select auto mode for all TAPCON units.
All of the TAPCON units return the on-load tap-changer units to
the original tap positions.
The function test for circulating reactive current sensitivity is complete.
If the earlier tap positions are not reached, increase the parameter value of
the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
If one of the two on-load tap-changer units switches one or more tap posi-
tions higher and the other switches the same amount lower, you need to re-
duce the parameter value of the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
After you have set the "circulating reactive current sensitivity" parameter,
continue with the function test for the circulating reactive current blocking
limit described in the next section.

[ 78].
1. Press on a TAPCON to select manual mode.
2. Using manual control, adjust the relevant motor-drive unit upwards (for
example 1 - 2 steps) by the maximum permitted tap difference in operat-
ing positions between the parallel operating transformers.
When setting the circulating reactive current blocking in the following proc-
ess step, wait approximately 2 to 3 seconds between the individual steps.
3. In the Parallel operation > Parallel operation method menu item, set
the circulating reactive current parallel operation method.
4. Reduce the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter from the
set value of 20% in steps of 1% until the message Circulating reactive
current blocking limit exceeded is displayed.
Any further regulation is blocked.
After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message has
elapsed, the circulating reactive current blocking message is dis-
played
5. Increase the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter again
until the message Circulating reactive current limit exceeded disap-
pears.
The motor-drive unit automatically returns to the original operating
position.
7. Set the value determined for the "circulating reactive current blocking
limit" for the TAPCON units in parallel operation as well.
If one TAPCON or all of the TAPCON units indicate Circulating reactive
current blocking limit exceeded even though the control inputs are correctly
connected for all TAPCON units, all of the TAPCON units block.
This could be due to various causes. Further information is given in the
chapter Troubleshooting [ 127].

Checking tap synchronization method
This section describes how to run the function test for tap synchronization
(master/follower).
In parallel operation in accordance with the Automatic tap synchroniza-
tion method, the tap positions of the transformers running in parallel are
compared. It is therefore necessary that the transformers have the same
position designation and that the Raise and Lower signals produce the
same voltage change in all transformers.
NOTICE

Damage resulting from formation of circulating reactive current
If the parameters are not set correctly, damage may result from the forma-
tion of circulating reactive current and the resulting overload of transmission
lines and transformers.

Functions and settings
This chapter describes all the functions and setting options for the device.

All of the parameters required for the regulation function are described in this
section. For voltage regulation, you can set the following parameters:
Desired values
Desired value 1
Desired value 1...3 (optional)
Desired value 1...5 (optional)
Selecting desired value (optional)

For voltage regulation, you can set delay time T1 and also delay time T2.
The following sections describe how the regulation function responds in both
cases:

7.1
Behavior only with delay time T1
If the measured voltage U
actual
is within the set bandwidth , no control
commands are issued to the motor-drive unit for the tap-change operation.
Control commands will also not be issued to the motor-drive unit if the meas-
ured voltage returns to the tolerance bandwidth within the set delay time
T1 . However, if the measured voltage deviates from the set bandwidth for
a long period , a tap-change command occurs after expiration of the
set delay time T1. The on-load tap-changer carries out a tap-change in a
raise or lower direction to return to the tolerance bandwidth.

tion is initiated.
Behavior with delay times T1 and T2
Delay time T2 can be used to correct major control deviations more quickly.
Ensure that you set a lower value in the "Delay time T2" parameter than in
the "Delay time T1" parameter.
If the measured voltage U
actual
deviates from the set bandwidth for a long
period , a control impulse is output to the motor-drive unit after the set de-
lay time T1 . If the measured voltage U
actual
is still outside the bandwidth,
delay time T2 starts once delay time T1 is complete. Once delay time T2
is complete, a control impulse is again output to the motor-drive unit for the
tap change to return to the tolerance bandwidth.

The following sections describe how to set the relevant control parameters.
Desired values
You can use the "Desired value" parameter to set up to 5 desired voltage
values U
desired
depending on the equipment. The device always uses one of
the set desired values for control. You can define the desired value used for
control by means of the "Select desired value" parameter.
7.1.1
The device provides the following ways of changing the desired voltage val-
ue during operation:
Using the operating screen in the control parameters menu item or the
web-based visualization
Desired value selection using binary inputs (optional)
Using an analog interface (020 mA, 420 mA or 010 V) depending
on the equipment (optional)
Desired values set in kV refer to the primary voltage of the voltage trans-
former. Desired values set in V refer to the secondary voltage of the voltage
transformer. You can toggle between primary values and secondary values
in the "Desired value" parameter.
Setting the desired value
Proceed as follows to set the desired value:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Desired value.
2. Enter desired value.
Selecting the desired value (optional)
You can use this parameter to select the desired value used for control.
To specify the desired value using an analog signal, you need to create a
signal at the Desired value setting release input. If this is not done, the de-
vice uses the set desired value 1.
To select the desired value, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Select desired value.
2. Select the desired value needed in the list.
Active power-dependent adjustment of desired voltage value
(optional)
The TAPCON Dynamic Setpoint Control (TDSC) function is used to adapt
the desired voltage value depending on the measured active power. This al-
lows you to compensate for a voltage drop during increased load or an in-
crease in voltage due to a decentralized feed-in.
Depending on whether positive or negative active power is measured, the
desired value calculation is based on 2 linear equations (see example in dia-
gram below).

To activate the active power-dependent adjustment of the desired voltage
value, you need to set the following parameters:
Activate TDSC
The TDSC function is only active when the device can calculate the active
power (correct current measurement and voltage measurement) and the re-
quired parameters are set. If this isn't done, the voltage is regulated to the
set desired value [ 52]. You can activate or deactivate the power-depend-
ent adjustment of the desired voltage value as follows:
Parameter
Digital inputs TDSC on and TDSC off (optional)
Control system command (optional)
If you activate TDSC, the line drop compensation (R&X compensation or Z
compensation) function is deactivated.
To activate/deactivate TDSC using parameters, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Activate TDSC.
2. Select the option you want.
TDSC Umax/Umin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum desired
value. The maximum or minimum desired value is activated when the meas-
ured active power reaches the set minimum or maximum active power.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Umax/Umin.
2. Enter maximum/minimum desired value.
TDSC U0
You can use this parameter to set the desired value which is to be used
when the measured active power is 0.
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > TDSC U0.
2. Enter desired value at active power 0.
TDSC Pmax/Pmin
You can use these parameters to set the maximum and minimum active
power value at which the maximum and minimum active power-dependent
desired value is to be used for regulation.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > TDSC Pmax/Pmin.
2. Enter active power at maximum/minimum desired value.

Bandwidth
You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible deviation in
measured voltage U
actual
from the desired value U
desired
. The following section
describes how you determine and set the bandwidth.
Determining bandwidth
In order to set the correct value, the transformer's step voltage and nominal
voltage must be known. Note that a large bandwidth will result in a large
control deviation.
The bandwidth must always be greater than the following value:
Figure 31: Calculation of minimum bandwidth

The following transformer values are used to determine the minimum band-
width:
Nominal voltage U
nom
= 11000 V
Step voltage in tap position 4 U
Step4

Step voltage in tap position 5 U
Step5
= 11000 V
Setting the bandwidth
To set the bandwidth, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Bandwidth.
2. Enter bandwidth.
7.1.3

Delay time T1
Delay time T1 delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined pe-
riod. This prevents unnecessary tap-change operations if the tolerance
bandwidth is exited briefly.
Setting delay time T1
To set the delay time T1, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Delay time T1.
2. Enter delay time T1.
Selecting time response T1
You can use this parameter to set the time response for delay time T1. You
can select the following options:
Linear time response
Integral time response
With linear time response, the device responds with a constant delay time
regardless of the control deviation.
With integral time response, the device responds with a variable delay time
depending on the control deviation. The greater the control deviation (U) in
relation to the set bandwidth (B), the shorter the delay time. This means that
the device responds faster to large voltage changes in the grid. Regulation
accuracy improves as a result but the frequency of tap-changes increases
too.

1 "Delay time T1" parameter
To set time response T1, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameter > Control > Time response T1.
Delay time T2
You can use this parameter to set the delay time T2. Delay time T2 is used
to compensate for large control deviations faster.
The delay time T2 only takes effect if more than one tap-change operation is
required to correct the control deviation. The first output pulse occurs after
the set delay time T1. After the set tap-change delay time T2 has elapsed,
additional pulses occur in order to correct the existing control deviation.
The following requirements must be noted to set delay time T2:
The delay time T2 must be greater than the switching pulse time.
The delay time T2 must be greater than the maximum operating time of
the motor-drive unit.
The delay time T2 must be less than the value set for delay time T1.
Setting delay time T2
To set the delay time T2 proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Delay time T2.
2. Set delay time T2.
7.1.5
Activating delay time T2
To activate delay time T2, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Control > Activate delay T2.

former circuit. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Transformer data > Phase angle cor-
rection.
Setting measured value display
You can use this parameter to set whether the displayed measured values
and control parameters are to refer to the primary side or secondary side of

ured value display.
Control of the motor-drive unit
You can use the following parameters to configure control of the motor-drive
unit. You can set the following:
Switching pulse
Motor runtime
Switching direction
Figure 34: Setting control of the motor-drive unit
7.2.6
7.3
Setting the switching pulse for controlling the motor-drive unit
You can use the switching pulse type, switching pulse time and switching
pulse pause parameters to adapt the switching pulse of the TAPCON to
the requirements of the motor-drive unit's control.
Selecting switching pulse type
You can use this parameter to toggle the switching pulse between a continu-
ous pulse or time-controlled switching pulse.
Selecting the "Continuous pulse" option causes the TAPCON to issue the
switching pulse in AVR Auto operating mode until the measured value is
back within the bandwidth. In AVR Manual operating mode, the device is-
sues the switching pulse for as long as you press the or key.
If the TAPCON is operated as a follower in parallel operation in this case,
then the TAPCON issues the switching pulse until one of the following re-
quirements has been met:
The set motor runtime has been reached
The Motor running signal switches states from 1 to 0
The tap position required by the master has been reached
A pause is enforced after every switching pulse before another switching
pulse is issued.
Selecting the "Time-controlled switching pulse" option causes the
TAPCON to issue the switching pulse for a set duration. A pause is en-
forced after every switching pulse before another switching pulse is is-
sued.
If you use a motor-drive unit from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH, you
need to select the "Time-controlled switching pulse" option.
7.3.1

To select the switching pulse type, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Switching pulse
type.
Setting the switching pulse time
You can use the switching pulse time parameter to set the maximum dura-
tion of the switching pulse. It resets after the switching pulse time has
elapsed or if the TAPCON receives the Motor running signal beforehand or
the tap position is changed.
To set the switching pulse time, proceed as follows:
time.
2. Enter switching pulse time.
Setting the switching pulse pause
You can use this parameter to set the switching pulse pause between 2
switching pulses. The TAPCON can only issue another switching pulse
once the switching pulse pause has elapsed.
To set the switching pulse pause, proceed as follows:
pause.
2. Enter switching pulse pause.

Setting motor runtime monitoring
The motor-drive unit's runtime can be monitored by the device. This function
is used to identify motor-drive unit malfunctions during the tap-change oper-
ation and to trigger any actions needed.
The motor-drive unit issues the Motor-drive unit running signal during the
tap-change operation. This signal is present until the tap-change operation is
complete. The device compares the duration of this signal with the set motor
runtime. If the set motor runtime is exceeded, the device triggers the follow-
ing actions:
1. Motor runtime exceeded event.
2. Pulse signal via Trigger motor protective switch output relay
Note that motor-drive units with cycle settings or motor-drive units without
stepped switching behavior will run for longer under certain circumstances.
Set a longer motor runtime for such units.
The following parameters are available to configure the motor runtime moni-
toring:
Motor runtime
Motor runtime monitoring
Motor runtime
You can use this parameter to set the motor runtime. Proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Motor runtime moni-
toring.
2. Enter motor runtime.
Motor runtime monitoring
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate motor runtime monitor-
ing. Proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Motor runtime moni-
toring.
Setting the switching direction
You can use this parameter to set the switching direction. This lets you ad-
just the behavior of the TAPCON based on how your on-load tap-changer
and motor-drive unit are configured. You can select the following options:
7.3.2
Behavior

7.3.3
Setting Meaning
Standard The TAPCON issues a signal via the Raise output to
increase the voltage.
The TAPCON issues a signal via the Lower output to
reduce the voltage.
Swapped The TAPCON issues a signal via the Lower output to
increase the voltage.
The TAPCON issues a signal via the Raise output to
reduce the voltage.
Table 19: Behavior
To set the switching direction, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Switching direction.
Setting switching direction monitoring
You can use this parameter to set the switching direction monitoring. This
function monitors whether the correct tap position is reached after a tap-
change operation.
If the correct tap position is not reached by the time twice the motor runtime
has lapsed, the device issues the Switching direction monitoring event mes-
sage and blocks automatic voltage regulation in both auto mode and manual
mode. Automatic voltage regulation is blocked until you acknowledge
[ 119] the event.
Switching direction monitoring is not active if you control the motor-drive unit
with a continuous pulse [ 68].
To set the switching direction monitoring, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Motor control > Switching direction
monitoring.
Line drop compensation
You can use the compensation function to compensate for the load-depend-
ent voltage drop between the transformer and consumer. The device pro-
vides 2 methods of compensation for this purpose:
R&X compensation
Z compensation
7.3.4

7.4
Figure 36: Setting line drop compensation
Note the description below for configuration of line drop compensation.
R&X compensation
R&X compensation can compensate for voltage losses on the lines and
therefore ensure correct voltage on the consumer. This requires precise line
data. After you have entered all of the line data, the TAPCON automatically
calculates the ohmic and inductive voltage drop and takes this into account
for automatic voltage regulation.
Figure 37: Equivalent circuit of R&X compensation
7.4.1
Figure 38: Phasor diagram of R&X compensation
To use the R&X compensation, you have to enter the following line data:
Ohmic resistance load in m/m
Inductive resistance load in m/m
Length of line in km
Selecting R&X compensation
To select R&X compensation, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Compensation
method.
2. Select R&X compensation option.
Setting ohmic resistance load
To enter the value for ohmic resistance load, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Ohmic resistance
load.
2. Enter ohmic resistance load.
Setting inductive resistance load
To enter the value for inductive resistance load, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Inductive resist-
ance load.
2. Enter inductive resistance load.
Entering length of line
To enter the length of line, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Length of line.
2. Enter length of line.
Z compensation
To keep the voltage constant for the consumer, you can use Z compensation
to activate a current-dependent increase in voltage. You can also define a
limit value to avoid excess voltage on the transformer.
Figure 39: Z compensation
To use Z compensation, you need to calculate the increase in voltage (U)
taking the current into account. Use the following formula for this purpose:

The following sections describe how you can set the parameters you need
for Z compensation.

Selecting Z compensation
To select Z compensation, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Compensation

2. Select the Z compensation option.
Setting the current-dependent voltage increase
You can use this parameter to set the voltage increase U.
To set the limit value for voltage increase U, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Voltage increase.
2. Enter voltage increase.
Setting voltage limit value
You can use this parameter to define the maximum permissible voltage in-
crease to avoid excess voltage on the transformer.
To set the voltage limit value, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Compensation > Voltage limit value.
2. Enter voltage limit value.
Tap position capture
The current tap position of the on-load tap-changer is transmitted from the
motor-drive unit to the device. In accordance with your order, the tap position
is transmitted in one of the following ways:
Digital signal
BCD
N/O contact series
Analog signal
Injected current (0/420 mA)
Voltage (010 V)
Digital tap position capture
The tap position can optionally be transmitted from the motor-drive unit to
the device as a digital signal. No further settings are needed.
7.5
7.5.1
Analog tap position capture
For the analog tap position capture, you must assign the lowest tap position
to the analog input for the minimum measured value and the highest tap po-
sition for the maximum measured value.
The device is configured at the factory according to the order. However,
should modifications be necessary, note the following sections.
Figure 40: Setting analog tap position capture
Upper tap position
You can use this parameter to set the highest tap position for the on-load
tap-changer. The TAPCON assigns this value to the maximum level of the
analog signal (e.g. 20 mA for a 4...20 mA signal).
To set the upper tap position, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Analog tap position capture > Upper tap position.
2. Set the highest tap position.
3. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter
Lower tap position
You can use this parameter to set the lowest tap position for the on-load tap-
changer. The TAPCON assigns this value to the minimum level of the ana-
log signal (e.g. 4 mA for a 4...20 mA signal).
To set the lower tap position, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Analog tap position capture > Lower tap position.
2. Set the lowest tap position.
7.5.2

Parallel operation
In theParallel operation menu item, you can set the parameters needed for
parallel transformer operation. Parallel transformer operation is used to in-
crease the throughput capacity or short-circuit capacity in one place.
Compliance with the following general conditions is required for operating
transformers in parallel:
Identical rated voltages
Transformer power ratio (< 3 : 1)
Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (U
K
) for transformers con-
nected in parallel < 10%
Same number of switching groups
The same current-transformer connection has to be used for all devices
running in parallel
You can control up to 16 transformers connected in parallel in one or 2
groups without detecting the system topology. Information is swapped be-
tween the voltage regulators operating in parallel using the CAN bus. Paral-
lel operation is activated using one of 2 status inputs or the control system.
The device supports parallel operation following the methods described be-
low:
Parallel operation following the "Circulating reactive current minimiza-
tion" principle
Parallel operation following the "Tap synchronization" (master/follower)
principle
You must select the same parallel operation method (circulating reactive
current minimization or tap synchronization) for all voltage regulators oper-
ating in parallel. Otherwise you cannot operate the devices in parallel.

operation
Parallel operation method

The following sections describe how you can set the parameters.
Activating parallel operation
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate parallel operation.
To activate or deactivate parallel operation, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Activate parallel
operation.
2. Select the option you want from the list field.
Selecting parallel operation method
You can use this parameter to select a parallel operation method. The fol-
lowing methods can be assigned to the device.
Tap synchronization (master/follower/auto)
You must select the same parallel operation method (circulating reactive
current minimization or tap synchronization) for all voltage regulators oper-
ating in parallel. Otherwise you cannot operate the devices in parallel.
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters for a paral-
lel operation method.
When the circulating reactive current parallel operation method is select-
ed, then parallel operation is carried out using the circulating reactive current
minimization method. The circulating reactive current is calculated from the
transformer currents and their phase angles. A voltage proportional to the
circulating reactive current is added to the independently regulating
TAPCON as a correction for the measurement voltage. You can use the
circulating reactive current sensitivity parameter to reduce or increase this
voltage correction.
The circulating reactive current method is suited to transformers connected
in parallel with a similar nominal output and short-circuit voltage U
K
and to
vector groups with the same and different step voltages. This does not re-
quire any information about the tap position.
To select the circulating reactive current minimization parallel operation
method, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Parallel opera-
tion method.
2. Select the Circulating reactive current option.
7.6.1
7.6.2

7.6.2.1
To configure the circulating reactive current minimization parallel operation
method, you have to also set the following parameters:
Circulating reactive current sensitivity
Circulating reactive current blocking limit
Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity
You can use this parameter to set the influence of circulating reactive current
on how the control deviation is calculated. The larger the set value, the
greater the calculated control deviation as a result of circulating reactive cur-
rent.
To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation >Circulating reac-
tive current sensitivity.
2. Enter the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
Setting the circulating reactive current blocking limit
You can use this parameter to set the limit value for the maximum permissi-
ble circulating reactive current. This value relates to the rated current of the
current transformer. If, during parallel operation, the circulating reactive cur-
rent exceeds the set limit value, the device triggers the Circulating reactive
current blocking limit exceeded event. All devices operating in the parallel
operation group are blocked.
To set the circulating reactive current blocking limit, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Circulating reac-
tive current blocking limit.
2. Enter the circulating reactive current blocking limit.
Setting tap synchronization
With the Tap synchronization parallel operation method, you need to desig-
nate one voltage regulator as the master and all others as followers. The
master handles voltage regulation and transmits its latest tap positions to all
followers via the CAN bus. The followers compare the tap position received
with their own tap position. If the tap position is not the same, the followers
switch to the tap position received from the master. This ensures that the
transformers operating in parallel are always in the same tap position.
If there is a tap difference between the master and follower, the master re-
frains from issuing any control commands to the motor-drive unit until all of
the followers have reached the same tap position. If the tap difference per-
sists for longer than the set delay time for parallel operation error messages,
the master triggers the Tap difference to follower event.
For the tap synchronization method, you can select the following options:
7.6.2.2
Option Description
Master The voltage regulator is designated as the master.
Follower The voltage regulator is designated as the follower.
Auto. tap syn-
chronization
Automatic assignment of master or follower.
If no master is detected, the voltage regulator with the
lowest CAN bus address is automatically designated
as the master. All other voltage regulators are desig-
nated as followers.
Table 20: Tap synchronization method
To select the tap synchronization parallel operation method, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Parallel opera-
tion method.
To configure the tap synchronization parallel operation method, you also
have to set the following parameters:
Master/follower current blocking
Maximum tap difference
Master/follower current blocking
You can use this parameter to activate the circulating reactive current block-
ing limit for the tap synchronization parallel operation method. The
TAPCON thereby calculates and monitors the circulating reactive current in
the same manner as for the circulating reactive current minimization parallel
operation method. The Circulating reactive current blocking [ 78] parame-
ter is used to set the limit value.
To activate circulating reactive current blocking for the tap synchronization
parallel operation method, proceed as follows:
1. So to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Master/follower
current blocking.
Maximum tap difference
You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible tap difference
between followers and master on the follower.
If the tap difference is greater than the set maximum tap difference to the
master, the follower immediately blocks regulation. After the set delay time
for parallel operation error messages has elapsed, the follower issues the
Permitted tap difference to master exceeded message.
To set the maximum permissible tap difference, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Maximum tap
difference.
2. Enter the maximum tap difference.
Assigning a CAN bus address
You can use this parameter to assign a CAN bus address to the device. So
that all devices can communicate using the CAN bus, each device requires a
unique identifier. Addresses can be set from 1 to 16. If the value is set to 0,
then no communication takes place.
You have to assign an individual CAN bus address to each voltage regula-
tor when activating parallel operation. Up to 16 CAN participants are sup-
ported.
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > CAN bus ad-
dress.
2. Enter CAN bus address.
Setting the behavior for communication failure
You can use this parameter to set how the TAPCON behaves in the event
of failure in communication via the CAN bus. You can select the following
options:
Option Description
Independent regu-
lation
The TAPCON switches from parallel operation to
normal automatic voltage regulation
Auto blocking Automatic voltage regulation is blocked.
Table 21: Behavior for communication failure
To set the behavior in the event of communication failure, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Behavior for
communication failure.
Setting delay time for parallel operation error messages
You can use this parameter to set the delay time for a parallel operation er-
ror message so that brief fault messages are not received if the motor-drive
units involved in the parallel operation have different runtimes. Once the set
7.6.3

7.6.4
7.6.5
delay time has elapsed, the event is issued at the output relay. Depending
on the type of parallel operation error, automatic regulation can be blocked
and the on-load tap-changers can only be adjusted in manual mode.
To set the delay time for the parallel operation error message, proceed as
follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Parallel operation > Delay time for
the parallel operation error message.
2. Enter the delay time.
TAPCON 2xx retrofit
The TAPCON 2xx retrofit function allows you to operate the TAPCON in
parallel operation with existing devices. Parallel operation with the following
existing devices is supported:
TAPCON 230 pro/expert
TAPCON 240
TAPCON 250
TAPCON 260
TRAFOGUARD with "Voltage regulation" options package
If you wish to operate several TAPCON units in parallel operation with ex-
isting devices, you have to activate the TAPCON 2xx retrofit function on
each TAPCON.
Figure 42: Parallel operation of 2 TAPCON units with one TAPCON 2xx. The
TAPCON 2xx retrofit function must be active on both TAPCON units.
To activate the TAPCON 2xx retrofit function, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > TAPCON 2xx retrofit > TAPCON
2xx retrofit.
7.6.6
Limit values
For various measured values, you can define limit values which are moni-
tored by the device. Depending on the measured value, you can define dif-
ferent numbers of limit values. The following measured values can be moni-
tored:
2nd lower
limit
1st lower
limit
1st upper
limit
2nd up-
per limit
Voltage U<< U U>>
Current I<< I I>>
Apparent power S<< S< S> S>>
Active power P<< P P>>
Reactive power Q<< Q< Q> Q>>
Output factor cos phi<< cos phi< - -
Bandwidth - B%< B%> -
Tap position - Position< Position> -
Table 22: Limit values
The "lower" limit values are monitored for whether the measured value
reaches or falls below the limit value. The "upper" limit values are monitored
for whether the measured value reaches or exceeds the limit value.
Various parameters for configuring limit value monitoring are provided for
each limit value.
The parameters available and ways in which they can be selected may vary
depending on the limit value.

2 Hysteresis A Duration of set "behavior"
3 Measured value
Relative/absolute limit value
You can use this parameter to set whether the device is to use the "Absolute
limit value" or "Relative limit value".
Absolute limit value
You can use this parameter to set the limit value as an absolute value. Un-
like the relative value, this limit is not dependent on a reference value.
Relative limit value
You can use this parameter to set the limit value relative to a reference val-
ue.
Hysteresis limit value
You can use this parameter to set the hysteresis. For "Upper limit value", the
hysteresis is deducted from the limit value and for "Lower limit value", it is
added to the limit value. When a limit value is infringed, the set device be-
havior is only reset once the measured value has exceeded the hysteresis.
The purpose of the hysteresis is to allow the device to ignore small fluctua-
tions around the limit value.

Limit-value delay time
With this parameter, you can set the delay time. If a limit value is infringed,
the device only undertakes the set behavior once the delay time has
elapsed. The purpose of the delay time is to allow the device to ignore brief
limit value infringements.

You can use this parameter to define how the device behaves when a limit
value is infringed. The options available may vary depending on the limit val-
ue. The following options are available:
Option Description

High-speed re-
turn
The device continues to perform tap-change opera-
tions in the required direction until the limit value is no
longer infringed. The devices ignores the set delay
time T1 of automatic voltage regulation.
Auto blocking The device blocks automatic voltage regulation.
Auto-manual
blocking
The device blocks automatic voltage regulation and
manual tap-change operations.
Auto blocking

The device blocks tap-change operations to a lower
tap position.

reset during a RAISE operation.
The internal counter for consecutive raise tap-change operations is
reset during a LOWER operation.
Off: The internal counter is not reset by intermediate raise or lower tap-
change operations.

or fall below the bandwidth indicate a problem with the device function be-
cause the device is not able to correct the control deviation.
If the value falls below or exceeds the set bandwidth [ 57], the Function
monitoring event is displayed after the set delay time for function monitoring
has elapsed. The event is automatically acknowledged as soon as the
measured value returns to within the set bandwidth.
