Safety Features

Basic Safety Features of an AVR
Undervoltage blocking < U 60 … 100 % of desired value
Overvoltage blocking > U 100 … 140 % of desired value
Overvoltage detection with high speed 100 … 140 % of desired value

return control (can be switched off)
Undercurrent blocking < I 0 … 210 %
Overcurrent blocking > I 50 … 210 %

Our Quality Policy - Safety goes first => Advanced Safety
| Fixed firmware structure
{ to avoid malfunctions caused by accidently performed changes in firmware while setting

parameters
| Blocking in Parallel Operation Mode
{ to assure, that the transformer units can not run apart in parallel mode, e.g if the CAN-BUS
connection is interrupted
| Blocking of the Automatic Voltage Regulation in case of

{ Motor breaker inside the Motor drive trips (MPS-Trip=>GPI-Blocking)
{ OLTC stops between two tap positions (Function Monitoring=>GPI-
Blocking, Unfinished Tap change operation=>GPI-Blocking)

Additional Safety Features

What if the OLTC stops between two Tap Positions?
Operation from Pos 3 to Pos 4

| Prevents overvoltages in case of
{ Additional limitation of regulating range. Outside of this range, the Automatic Voltage
Regulation is disabled.

Additional Values
o Compensation of losses
on overhead / cable lines

Compensation of losses - load-dependent voltage drop -

on overhead / cable lines
The voltage drop on the line depends on the following

factors
| Impedance (apparent resistance)
| Cable or Overhead Line
| Load Current
| Phase angle φ
Two methods available

| Z compensation
| Line drop compensation (LDC)

Benefits
- can be used with minor changes in the phase angle φ *Current 100%
- not dependent on phase angle φ
- simple to set Voltage rise: 0 … 15 % of desired value
- can also be used in meshed grids Limit: 0 … 15 % of desired value

Benefits
LDC provides more precise compensation of line voltage drops
Requirements
The LDC compensation requires a good knowledge of the of the R and X of the overhead/cable lines.
Are the parameter not known, can they be usually set using the aproximation & test method.
