The current regulator holds the output current constant by varying the output voltage to the series
circuit. The voltage can be adapted by changing the conduction angle of the thyristors in both the
positive and the negative difference of the input signal.
- The TBM module fires the thyristors at the request of the CCL module.
- The TBM module receives a signal from the remote control system.
- The TMB module gives an output to a certain current level.
- The CCL compares the requested step & actual output current level.
- The CCL computes and sends the TBM a request to generate the required output voltage.
This process will be maintained until no output is anymore demanded or if any of the safety
features are triggered. The regulator stops immediately when triggered by a safety feature. The
safety can only be reset at the TBM module.
Remote control The regulator can be controlled remotely with Multiwire, J-Bus, or a combination of these. The
system automatically detects which communication method is available.
Multiwire (option) Each multiwire PCB consists of input and output terminals. These terminals handle the incoming
and outgoing signals between the regulator and the remote control system. The number of
multiwire PCBs on the regulator determines the maximum number of available signals.
- Cut-out SCO:
An output disconnecting device between the regulator and the series circuit. The cut-out
SCO isolates the series circuit from the regulator during maintenance or testing operations.
The cover can be locked with a key to prevent unauthorized access.
- Hour counters:
Measure the number of hours the regulator is ON, or the number of hours the regulator is
ON and produces output current that is higher than a set value.
2.7 Components
2.7.1 Power input
Fused input switch The fused input switch disconnects the regulator
(F1) from the mains power supply. For specific fuse
types, see section 3.4 Parts list.
Fuses F2, F3 and The fuses F2, F3 and F4 protect the wiring of the
F4 regulator from overcurrent:
- F2 protects the low current mains wiring;
- F3 protects the wiring to measure the
primary voltage of the power transformer;
- F4 protects the mains wiring of the circuit
selector (option).
Series choke (L1) The series choke limits the current rise time of
the thyristors, the output transformer, and the
current loop. The series choke also limits the
harmonics on the current waveform.

Power supply The PSL supplies power to the other modules in
Logic (PSL) +12 / +5 / -12 V. If the power supply to the PSL is
interrupted, its signal (Power Good) goes low in
less than 20 ms. The PSL maintains the DC
voltages for about 2 seconds after a power
failure, which leaves sufficient time for the

Description Each regulator has a maximum of three multiwire PCBs connected to the Local Master Controller
(LMC):
- MW1;
- MW2;
- MW3 (for circuit selector only)
Each multiwire PCB has eight input and eight output terminals. They handle the incoming and
outgoing signals between the regulator and the remote control. The amount of multiwire PCBs
determines the maximum amount of available signals.
NOTE
It is impossible to attribute the same function to more than one terminal.
You can set each signal to either POSITIVE or NEGATIVE logic. For example, if you configure an
output signal for function A and if the condition of function A becomes TRUE, the signal contact
closes in positive logic and opens in negative logic.
To read these settings in the configuration tool, see the section 7.3.7 IO menu.
In order to match the load to the characteristic line impedance, you must terminate the databus
lines with resistors. This creates a reflection-free communication with less disturbances. See
section 6.5 LMC - PCB1513 – 1593.14.111.
Master / slave A regulator is always a slave on the J-Bus. There can be a maximum of 16 regulators on one bus
section with one common bus master.
Description The regulator can send basic back-indication signals to a monitoring system. These signals
indicate to the monitoring system if the regulator is ON or OFF.
These signals must have simple, potential free contacts. The maximum contact load is:
- AC - 110 V - 2 A - 220 VA;
- DC - 110 V - 2 A - 60 VA.
2.8 Options
2.8.1 Cut-out SCO
Description The optional cut-out SCO acts as an output disconnection device between the regulator and the
series circuit. The cut-out SCO also isolates the series circuit from the regulator during
maintenance or testing operations. The cover can be locked with a key to prevent unauthorized
access.
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves and shoes when working with the regulator or
series circuit.
Description The EFD module measures the insulation resistance between the series circuit and the ground or
the cable screen. The EFD module works when the regulator is connected to the mains supply,
even if the regulator is turned OFF.
Monitoring To monitor the insulation resistance, the EFD module uses two alarm levels: Level 1 and Level 2.
Both alarm levels can be set to any value between 20 kOhm and 250 MOhm. However, Level 1
must always be higher than Level 2.
For how to change these levels, see section 7.2.6 EFD Earth Fault Detection (option).
Description The operation of the LFD is based on the change in the waveform when a series transformer
saturates as a consequence of the lamp having blown on the secondary side. It does this by
comparing the waveform with a reference captured during calibration when the user has verified
that all the lamps are connected and working properly.
The LFD can be used together with a circuit selector, provided that the multiple calibration option
was installed. It is then possible to calibrate the LFD for two or more different circuit settings. The
tolerances are:
- 0 - 5 burnt lamps: +-1 lamp;
- 6 - 10 burnt lamps: +-2 lamps.
Restrictions The LFD provides correct measurements if the following conditions apply:
- All lamp transformers are of the same type and rating;
- Reactive and constant loadings are low;
- The cable capacitance towards ground is less than 1µF and is equally distributed in the
series loop. To test capacitance, see section 7.1 Checks and measurements;
- No non-linear lights, such as guidance signs, BRITE, serial-to-parallel adapts or poor
contacts at primary or secondary lamp transformers.
Description With a circuit selector you can connect several (up to eight) series circuits to a single regulator.
The circuit selector has two modes:
- Simultaneous: the regulator can connect to a number of the available circuits at the same
time;
- Alternate: the regulator can connect to only one circuit at a time.
Interface board The board converts the logic control signals (12 V DC) that come from the CCL PCB into coil
control voltages. If the regulator has a multiwire interface, the multiwire PCB MW3 serves as the
remote control and back-indication interface for circuit selection.
Fuses (F4) The fuses protect the power supply to the auxiliary transformer. These fuses are located close to
the main fuse F1 and are accessible after removing the user interface panel.
Auxiliary The coil voltage of the HV contactors is standardized to 230 V 50/60 Hz. This auto-transformer
transformer (T1) (250 VA) serves to adapt the regulator mains voltage level to this voltage.
High-voltage Depending on the cabinet size there are two types of high-voltage contactors. The number of
contactors (K1-K8) contactors depends on the number of circuits and can be from two to eight.
For the big cabinet (above 10 kVA) the HV-circuit connects directly to the HV contactor terminals.
For the small cabinet (up to 10 kVA) there are separate connection terminals for the circuit
connection.
If the regulator has a Circuit selector, each circuit has its own hour counter.
Mode Description
Local Control the regulator through the local user interface. All the
parameters are accessible for reading and modifying. See section
7.2 Local user interface7.2 Local user interface.
Remote Control the regulator through a remote control system. All the
parameters can be read but nothing can be modified.
Dongle Control the regulator through a dongle and a software tool. The
display is locked and nothing can be visualized or modified. See
section 7.3 Configuration tool software7.3 Configuration tool
software.
3 Maintenance
WARNING
- Only personnel authorized to work on high-voltage equipment can do
maintenance work on the regulator.
- Operate the regulator under local control when performing maintenance
tasks. This will prevent the regulator from being accidentally switched ON
and causing serious injury or death.
3.2 General
3.2.1 Before you start
WARNING
Make sure you have read and understood all safety procedures and standards
related to this equipment. See chapter 1 SAFETY.
CAUTION
The output voltage of the 30 kVA / 6.6 A regulator can reach approximately
4600 V at full load. An isolating measurement transformer for use on the 5000
V AC line is recommended.·
- Multimeter;
- Insulation tester "Megger" 500 V or 1000 V;
- Clamp or A-meter true RMS scale 10 and 30 A.
CAUTION
The current regulation is + 1 %. To make an acceptable readjustment of the
output current, the precision of the meter must be higher than
0.5 % for the adjusted value.
CAUTION
- Do not operate the regulator with any of the panels removed.
- Do not mix panels from different regulators.
- Always connect the ground wires before you put the panels back.

SW1 J-Bus A - This switch handles line termination for J-Bus A. The switch also determines the use of two- or
Line termination four-wire transmission.
Terminating the line at both ends of the databus with straps helps to match the load closely to the
characteristic line impedance. This creates a reflection-free communication bus that has less
disturbances. Set the straps as follows:
- For a two-line system, set only the straps for the line “Transmit / E”.
- For a four-line system, set the straps for both lines “Transmit / E” and “Receive / R”.
NOTE
Make sure that you only place the line termination resistors at the end of the line. If
you set the straps also elsewhere on the line, the signals are weakened. This can
cause the regulator to not function correctly!
SW2 J-Bus B - This switch handles line termination for J-Bus B. The switch also determines the use of two- or
Line termination four-wire transmission.
Terminating the line at both ends of the databus with straps helps to match the load closely to the

- For a four-line system, set the straps for both lines “Transmit / E” and “Receive / R”.
NOTE
Make sure that you only place the line termination resistors at the end of the line. If
you also place other straps, the signals on the line are weakened. This can cause an
incorrect functioning of the MCR³!

Each multiwire PCB has eight input and eight output terminals. They handle incoming and
outgoing signals between the regulator and the remote control. The number of multiwire PCBs
on the regulator determines the maximum number of available signals. You can configure these
signals by using the configuration tool software.
NOTE
It is impossible to attribute the same function to more than one terminal.
For each signal, you can set either a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE logic. For example, if you
configure an output signal for function A and if the condition of function A becomes TRUE, the
signal contact closes in positive logic and opens in negative logic.
To read the present settings in the configuration tool, see the section 7.3.7 IO menu.

7 Appendix
Example
circuit length is 8000m
cable section is 6mm2
Rprim = ρ x 8000:6 = 24 Ohm
If the cable capacitance is 1 µF, the measured voltage decreases from 400 V DC to 147 V DC
(=0.37x400) in approximately 10 seconds.
If the voltage you measure with the LFD module connected is already 330 V DC, the cable
leakage resistance is approximately 10 MOhm. In this case, the discharge time is approximately
5 seconds for a cable capacitance of 1 µF.
