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 (Vactual) with a defined reference voltage (Vdesired). The difference between Vactual and Vdesired 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. 3.2

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 27 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro Packaging, transport and storage Packaging Purpose The packaging is designed to protect the packaged goods during transport, loading and unloading as well as periods of storage in such a way that no (detrimental) changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against permitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow, condensation). The packaging also prevents the packaged goods from moving impermissi- bly within the packaging. The packaged goods must be prepared for ship- ment before actually being packed so that the goods can be transported safely, economically and in accordance with regulations. 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. Protect against moisture Top Fragile Attach lifting gear here Center of mass Table 6: Shipping pictograms Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expected during transportation.

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. 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.

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 [► 100] 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 [► 100] 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. 4. The circulating reactive current blocking parameter should be re- duced [► 100] 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. 6.3.3.2

56 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro 5. After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message (time can be adjusted [► 104]), the signaling relay X5:12 (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 [► 126]. 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 parameter on the follower must be changed from Default to Swapped. 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. 6.3.3.3

Setting motor runtime monitoring You can use this motor runtime parameter to set the motor runtime. The mo- tor-drive unit's runtime can also be monitored by the device. This function is used to identify motor-drive unit malfunctions during the tap-change opera- tion 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 monitoring message is issued 2. Continuous signal via output relay Motor-drive unit runtime exceeded (optional) 3. Pulse signal via Trigger motor protective switch output relay (optional) To use runtime monitoring, you need to correctly wire the corresponding control input and parameterize to Motor running. The motor runtime must al- so be set. If you want to monitor the motor runtime, the device and motor-drive unit must be connected and parameterized as shown below. 7.2.8 Behavior Parameterizing control input Wiring control input/output relay

In NORMset mode, the bandwidth and delay time parameters are automatically adapted to the requirements of the grid. To start NORMset mode, you must set the following parameters: ▪ Normset activation ▪ Desired value 1 ▪ Primary voltage ▪ Secondary voltage Line drop compensation cannot be performed in NORMset mode. Set the following parameters to operate the device in NORMset mode. Activating/deactivating NORMset You can use this parameter to activate NORMset mode. A manual tap-change operation is required to activate NORMset. This is how the voltage regulator determines the bandwidth required. If the transformer is switched off, another manual tap-change operation is required. To activate/deactivate NORMset mode, proceed as follows: 7.3

If you enter the de- sired value in V, the value relates to the voltage transformer's secondary voltage. If you set the desired value in kV, the value relates to the voltage transformer's primary voltage. Settings in kV are only possible if you have previously entered the parame- ters for primary and secondary voltage.

Press to increase the value or to reduce it. 3. Press . ð The desired value is set. Control parameters All of the required for the regulation function are described in this section. For voltage regulation, you can set the following parameters: ▪ Desired values 1…3 ▪ Bandwidth ▪ Delay time T1 ▪ Control response T1 ▪ Delay time T2 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: Response only to delay time T1 If the measured voltage Vactual 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 within the set delay time T1 the measured voltage returns to the tolerance band- width . However, if the measured voltage deviates from the set bandwidth for a long period , a tap-change command occurs after the set delay time T1. The on-load tap-changer carries out a tap-change in a positive or negative direction to return to the tolerance bandwidth. 7.4

Delay time T1 starts. B Vactual is within the bandwidth before delay time T1 is com- plete. C Vactual is outside the band- width. Delay time T1 starts. D Vactual is still outside the band- width when delay time T1 is complete. Tap-change opera- tion is initiated. Response 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 for delay time T2 than delay time T1. If the measured voltage Vactual 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 Vactual 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.

Setting desired value 1...3 You can use this parameter to set up to 3 desired voltage values URef. The desired voltage value is specified as a fixed value. The desired value 1 is the default desired value. Desired values 2 and 3 are activated if there is a con- tinuous signal at factory-preset control inputs X4:17 or X4:18 provided you have programmed these previously. If there is a signal at several control in- puts at the same time, desired value 2 is activated. The device provides the following ways of changing the desired voltage val- ue during operation: ▪ Using the control parameters menu item via the operating screen ▪ Using binary inputs ▪ Using control system protocols if a communication card is ready for op- eration 7.4.1 Options for setting the desired values

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 73 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro 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. The transformer data must be entered correctly for this display. To set the desired value, proceed as follows: 1. > Control parameter > voltage regulator > Press until the desired parameter is displayed. 2. If you have already entered the transformer data, press to select the unit you want: "V" or "kV". 3. Press to highlight the position. ð The desired position is highlighted and the value can be changed. 4. Press to increase the value or to reduce it. 5. Press . ð The desired value is set. Selecting a desired value You can use this parameter to select the active desired value 1, 2 or 3. If you select the desired value using appropriately configured GPIs, this pa- rameter's setting is ignored. Refer to the Configuration [► 112] section for more information about GPI configuration. Proceed as follows to select a desired value: 1. > Control parameter > Voltage regulation > Press until the desired parameter is displayed. ð Desired value selection 2. Press or to select an active desired value. 3. Press . ð The selected desired value is active. Bandwidth You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible deviation in measured voltage UAct. The deviation relates to the activated desired value. The following sections describe how you determine and set the bandwidth required. Determining bandwidth In order to set the correct value, the transformer's step voltage and nominal voltage must be known. Reference of kV and V for voltage transformer 7.4.2 7.4.3 7.4.3.1

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 74 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro You have to set the bandwidth in such a way that the output voltage of the transformer (VAct) returns to within the specified tolerance bandwidth after the tap change. If too small a bandwidth is defined, the output voltage exceeds the bandwidth selected and the device immediately issues a tap-change command in the opposite direction. If a very large bandwidth is selected, this results in a major control deviation. The following value is recommended for the bandwidth setting: Figure 42: Recommended bandwidth Un-1 Step voltage of tap position n-1 Un Step voltage of tap position n Unom Nominal voltage The following transformer values are used to determine the recommended bandwidth: Nominal voltage Unom = 11,000 V Step voltage in tap position 4 UStep4 = 11,275 V Step voltage in tap position 5 UStep5 = 11,000 V The following section describes how you can set the bandwidth.

The measured voltage highlighting shows whether the measured voltage is above, within or below the set bandwidth . Progress of delay time T1 is indicated by the gradual filling of the time bar . The seconds display above this indicates the remaining delay time T1. Figure 43: Visual display of deviation from desired value 1 Bandwidth (upper and lower limit) 4 Desired voltage value URef 2 Time bar for delay time T1 5 Remaining delay time T1 3 Measured voltage UAct Setting delay time T1 Use this parameter to set delay time T1. This function delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined period. This prevents unnecessary tap- change operations if the tolerance bandwidth is exited. To set the delay time T1, proceed as follows: 1. > Parameter > Control parameter > Press until the desired parameter is displayed. 2. Press to highlight the position. ð The desired position is highlighted and the value can be changed. 3. Press to increase the time or to reduce it. 4.

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 76 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro Setting control response T1 The control response T1 can be set to linear or integral. 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. Figure 44: Diagram showing integral control response ΔV/B Control deviation "ΔV" as % of desired value as ratio to the set bandwidth "B" as % of desired value 1 "Delay time T1" parameter To set the control response T1, proceed as follows: 1. > Parameter > Control parameter > Press until the desired parameter is displayed. 2. Press or to set the response you want. 3. Press . ð The control response T1 is set. Setting delay time T2 With this parameter, you can set delay time T2.

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 77 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro The delay time T2 only takes effect if more than one tap-change operation is required to return the voltage to within the set bandwidth. 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 con- trol 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. To set the delay time T2, proceed as follows: 1. > Parameter > Control parameter > Press until the de- sired parameter is displayed. ð Delay time T2. 2. Press to increase the time or to reduce it. 3.

Limit values In the Limit values menu item, you can set all the parameters needed for lim- it value monitoring as relative or absolute values. You can set three limit val- ues: ▪ Undervoltage V< ▪ Overvoltage V> ▪ Overcurrent I> Limit value monitoring is used to reduce damage to the system periphery. The following sections describe how you can set the parameters. 7.5

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 78 3550953/00 EN TAPCON® 230 pro Setting undervoltage monitoring U< You can use these parameters to set the limit values for an undervoltage. Undervoltage monitoring prevents tap-change operations if there is a power cut. If the measured voltage Uactual falls below the set limit value , the red LED U< lights up . 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 [► 79] has passed, the signaling relay activates (contact X4:1/3 closes and X4:2/3 opens). The Un- dervoltage U< message appears in the display. The message is reset as soon as the measured voltage Uactual again exceeds the limit value for under- voltage . If the measured voltage Uactual falls below 30 V (for example when the transformer is switched off), the Undervoltage message is also dis- played. You can however suppress [► 80] this message.

Press or to select the option you want. 3. Press . ð Blocking the regulator with negative active power is activated/deactivat- ed. Permitted tap positions You can use the parameters described below to restrict the permissible range of tap positions in auto mode. If you activate this function, the device does not switch to tap positions outside the set limits in auto mode. In manual mode, for manual tap changes on the motor-drive unit or for re- mote tap changes via a SCADA system, monitoring of the step limits is not active. This may result in the set limits being exceeded. When switching from manual to auto mode, the tap changer should be with- in the permitted tap positions. Setting the lowest tap position blocking limit You can define a lower tap position blocking limit to limit the number of tap positions available in operation. When the tap position defined as lower tap position blocking limit is reached, tap position blocking is activated. This pre- vents any further tap change downwards. To define the lower tap position blocking limit, proceed as follows: 7.5.5 7.5.6 7.5.6.1

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: ▪ Line drop compensation ▪ Z compensation Line drop compensation Z compensation More accurate compensation Can only be used with minor changes in the phase angle φ Full knowledge of the line data needed Is not dependent on phase angle φ More parameters needed for con- figuration Is simple to set - Can be used with meshed net- works Table 15: Comparison of methods of compensation Line drop compensation Line drop compensation (LDC) requires exact line data.

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 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 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. 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. When acti- vating parallel operation, make sure you have configured the following pa- rameters: ▪ CAN bus address ▪ Assigning a parallel operation group 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. Addresses can be set from 1 to 16. If the value is set to 0, then no communication takes place. To enter the CAN bus address, proceed as follows: 7.8 Conditions for parallel operation 7.8.1

Two differ- ent methods can be assigned to the device. ▪ Circulating reactive current minimization ▪ Tap synchronization (master/follower) You must select the same parallel operation method for all voltage regula- tors operating in parallel. 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: 7.8.2 7.8.2.1

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 Circulating reactive current sensitivity. 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: ▪ Parallel operation error All devices operating in parallel are blocked. Depending on the set delay time for the parallel operation error message, the signaling relay Parallel op- eration error is activated.
