Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 14 2374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260 Product description This chapter contains an overview of the design and function of the product. Scope of delivery The following items are included in the delivery: ▪ TAPCON® 260 ▪ CD MR-Suite (contains the TAPCON®-trol program) ▪ Technical files ▪ Serial cable RS232 ▪ USB adapter with installation CD (optional) Please note the following: ▪ Check the shipment for completeness on the basis of the shipping docu- ments. ▪ Store the parts in a dry place until installation. 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 (Uactual) with a defined reference voltage (Udesired). The difference be- tween Uactual and Udesired 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. Figure 1: Overview of voltage regulation of a bank of transformers 3 3.1 3.2

36 2374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260 Figure 26: Ground strap connection 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. 4.3.3.4

Make sure that the conditions below have been fulfilled. ▪ All motor-drive units of the banks of transformers (ED1...ED3) are in the same tap position. ▪ All devices are set to the same operating parameters for desired value, circulating reactive current sensitivity and delay time T1. ▪ The circulating reactive current sensitivity on all devices must be set to 0 %. ▪ The circulating reactive current blocking parameter must be set to 20 %. ▪ You must undertake all settings in manual mode. ▪ Each device needs an individual address on the CAN bus. Checking circulating reactive current sensitivity This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive current sensitivity. 1. Adjust both transformers in simplex mode to the same actual voltage by means of the on-load tap-changer. ð When both devices are in a state of equilibrium, then the value of the control deviation dV [%] is smaller than the set bandwidth. You can see this in the main screen if the mark for the measured volt- age Uactual is within the bandwidth. 2. Connect the transformers in parallel and enable the parallel control. ð The two devices must still be in a state of equilibrium. ð The Parallel operation LED on the front panel is illuminated. 5.3.3 Requirements 5.3.3.1

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. ð The two devices must still be in a state of equilibrium. 4. Adjust the circulating reactive current sensitivity until the result dis- played exceeds the set value for the bandwidth by approx. 0.2 % to 0.3 %. ð The value for the result changes in the help text in the last line of the display. 5. Set the value given in the previous step for all devices in parallel opera- tion. 6. Press to select auto mode for both devices. ð The devices return the on-load tap-changer units to the original tap positions. ð The function test for circulating reactive current sensitivity is complete. If the earlier tap positions are not reached, increase the value of the circulat- ing reactive current sensitivity [► 93] parameter. 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 value of the circulating reactive current sensitivity [► 93] parame- ter. After you have set the circulating reactive current sensitivity parameter, continue with the circulating reactive current blocking function test described in the next section. Checking circulating reactive current blocking This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive current blocking. 1. Press on one device to select manual mode. 2. Using manual control, adjust the relevant motor-drive unit upwards by the maximum permitted tap difference in operating positions between the parallel operating transformers (for example by 1 - 2 steps). When setting the circulating reactive current blocking in the following proc- ess step, wait approx. 2 - 3 seconds between the individual steps. 3. Set the parallel operation method parameter to circulating reactive current. 5.3.3.2

49 2374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260 4. The circulating reactive current blocking parameter should be re- duced [► 93] from the set value of 20 % in steps of 1 % until the Par- allel operation error: circulating reactive current limit exceeded is dis- played. ð The Parallel operation LED lights up when the circulating reactive current blocking limit is reached. ð Any further regulation is blocked. 5. After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message (time can be adjusted [► 95]), the signaling relay UC-X1:1/UC-X1:2 (default setting) is activated. 6. Increase the circulating reactive current blocking parameter again until the message Parallel operation error: circulating reactive current limit exceeded disappears. 7. Press to select auto mode. ð The motor-drive unit automatically returns to the original operating position. 8. Set the value determined for the circulating reactive current blocking on the devices in parallel operation as well. If one or all devices indicate Parallel operation error: circulating reactive cur- rent limit exceeded although the control inputs are correctly connected for all the devices, then all the devices block. This could be due to various causes. Further information is given in the chapter Troubleshooting [► 139]. ð The function test for circulating reactive current blocking is complete. Checking tap synchronization method This section describes how to run the function test for tap synchronization (master/follower). If instances arise where a follower switches in the opposite direction to the master step change, then the setting for the tapping direction [► 61] parameter on the follower must be changed from Default to Swap- ped. 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. ► Check transformer type plate. ► Set device parameters in accordance with transformer configuration. Before starting the function test, you must carry out the following steps: 1. Assign the master function to one device. 2. Assign the follower function to the other devices. 5.3.3.3

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.

With linear control response, the device responds with a constant delay time regardless of the control deviation. With integral control response, the device responds with a variable delay time depending on the control deviation. The greater the control deviation (ΔV) in relation to the set bandwidth (B), the shorter the delay time. The de- lay time can therefore be reduced down to 1 second. This means that the device responds faster to large voltage changes in the grid. Regulation accu- racy improves as a result but the frequency of tap-changes increases too.

The switching pulses to the motor-drive unit are blocked at the same time provided you have activated the blocking undervoltage U< parameter. Once the set signaling delay time [► 71] has passed, the signaling relay activates. The Undervoltage U< message appears in the display. The message is reset as soon as the measured voltage Uactual again exceeds the limit value for undervoltage . If the measured voltage Uactual falls below 30 V (for example when the transformer is switched off), the Undervoltage message is also displayed. You can however suppress [► 72] this message. 6.6.1 6.6.2 Behavior

Compensation You can use the "Compensation" function to compensate for the load-de- pendent voltage drop between the transformer and consumer. The device provides 2 methods of compensation for this purpose: ▪ R&X compensation (line drop compensation) ▪ Z compensation R&X compensation R&X compensation (LDC) requires exact cable data. Line voltage drops can be compensated very accurately using LDC. To set R&X compensation correctly, you need to calculate the ohmic and in- ductive voltage drop in V with reference to the secondary side of the voltage transformer.

Parallel operation of several banks of transformers In the Parallel operation menu item, you can set the parameters needed for parallel operation of banks of transformers. Parallel operation of banks of transformers is used to increase the throughput capacity or short-circuit ca- pacity in one place. Compliance with the following general conditions is required for operating banks of transformers in parallel: ▪ Identical rated voltage ▪ Transformer power ratio (< 3 : 1) ▪ Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (UK) for transformers con- nected in parallel < 10 % ▪ Same number of switching groups You can control up to 16 banks of transformers connected in parallel in one or 2 groups without detecting the system topology. Information is swapped between the voltage regulators operating in parallel using the CAN bus. Par- allel operation is activated using one of 2 status inputs or the control system. Parallel control can take one of two forms: ▪ Parallel operation following the "Circulating reactive current minimiza- tion" principle ▪ Parallel operation following the "Tap synchronization" (master/follower) principle The following sections describe how you can set the parameters. Assigning 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.

The following sections describe how you can set the parameters for a paral- lel operation method. Setting circulating reactive current 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 operating voltage regulators as a correction for the measurement voltage. This voltage correc- tion can be reduced or increased using the circulating reactive current sensi- tivity setting. The circulating reactive current method is suited to transformers connected in parallel with a similar nominal output and short-circuit voltage VK and to vector groups with the same and different step voltages. This does not re- quire any information about the tap position. To set the circulating reactive current parallel operation method, proceed as follows: 6.10.2 6.10.2.1

Press or until circulating reactive current appears in the dis- play. 3. Press . ð The parallel operation method is set. When using the circulating reactive current parallel operation method, you have to set the parameters for the circulating reactive current sensitivity and circulating reactive current blocking. Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity The circulating reactive current sensitivity is a measure of its effect on the behavior of the voltage regulator. At a setting of 0 % no effect is present. With circulating reactive current relating to the rated current of the current transformer, if you set the value to 10 % for example, this would cause the voltage in the voltage regulator to be corrected by 10 %. This correction to the voltage can be increased or decreased with this setting to attain the opti- mum value. As soon as you change the circulating reactive current sensitivity value, the value for the result changes in the help text in the display. To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows: 1. > Configuration > Parallel operation > Press until the desired parameter is displayed. ð Stability. 2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it. 3. If necessary, press to highlight the decimal place. ð The decimal place is now highlighted and the value can be changed. 4. Press . ð The circulating reactive current sensitivity is set. Setting circulating reactive current blocking You can use this parameter to set the limit value for the maximum permissi- ble circulating reactive current. If, during parallel operation, the circulating re- active current exceeds the set limit value, then the following event is activat- ed: ▪ Problem with parallel operation All devices operating in parallel are blocked. Depending on the set delay time for the parallel operation error message, the signaling relay Problem with parallel operation is activated.

Press to increase the value or to reduce it. 3. Press . ð The blocking limit for the maximum permitted circulating reactive current is set. Setting tap synchronization With the tap synchronization method, you need to designate one voltage regulator as the master and all others as followers. The master handles volt- age 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 set permissible tap difference between the tap position re- ceived and their own position is exceeded, the followers switch to the tap po- sition received from the master. This ensures that the transformers operating in parallel are always in the same tap position. For the tap synchronization method, you can select the following options: Option Description Master The voltage regulator is designated as the master. Follower The voltage regulator is designated as the follower. Sync.auto 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 22: Tap synchronization method In parallel operation, an individual CAN bus address must be assigned to each voltage regulator. Up to 16 CAN participants are supported. Proceed as follows to set the tap synchronization method: 1. > Configuration > Parallel operation. ð Parallel operation method. 2. Press or to select the option you want. 3.
