3.2 Function description

The TRAFOGUARD® monitoring system monitors and records the meas-
ured values of your transformer and depicts them graphically using visualiza-
tion software. You can define limit values for all measured values recorded.
If the limit value is exceeded, corresponding event messages can be created
by the monitoring system.
The monitoring system collects the captured measured values and transfers
them to your monitoring computer. This gives you an overview of the current
status of your transformer at all times and also allows you to follow changes
in measured values.
You can use the configuration software also supplied to flexibly adapt the
monitoring system to your requirements. The communication interfaces pro-
vided allow you to integrate the TRAFOGUARD® monitoring system in your
control system.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
4.1 Packaging
4.1.1 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.
4.1.2 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.

moisture
Table 6: Shipping pictograms
4.2 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.

Visible damage 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.
Hidden damage 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.
4.3 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.

8.1.4 Free inputs

The "Free inputs" function package provides additional inputs and outputs.
You can use these, for example, for sensors or monitoring functions which
are not included in the TRAFOGUARD®'s data model. Analog and digital
signals are supported.
You can select the following cards and the corresponding inputs:
▪ AD8 card: 8 analog inputs (4...20 mA)
▪ TEM card: 2 analog inputs (PT100) and 9 digital inputs (PWM)
▪ UC card: 10 binary inputs and 10 binary outputs
8.1.5 Tap changer monitoring

You can use the "Tap changer monitoring" function package to monitor vari-
ous tap changer parameters. This includes monitoring the tap position and
calculating the contact wear for Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen on-load tap-
changers.

Monitoring contact wear
When monitoring the OILTAP® type on-load tap-changers, the monitoring

system calculates the following values after each operation:
▪ Switching contact wear (SKA)
▪ Resistance contact wear (WKA)
▪ Oil soot
If the parameter "Trial tap-change operation" is activated, no wear and no

soot is calculated. This parameter serves to prevent falsification of the wear
and soot values during commissioning or transformer tests.
The monitoring system checks the calculated values with regard to the fol-
lowing limit values:
▪ Absolute value of the wear
▪ Difference in wear between main switching contact and transition con-
tact
▪ Difference in wear between two transition contacts
If these limit values are exceeded, the monitoring system triggers appropri-
ate events.
After maintenance work on the on-load tap-changer, the computed wear of

the main switch contacts and the transition contacts have to be entered into
the monitoring system. The monitoring system adapts its calculation model
automatically using the computed wear. By doing so, future calculations of
the wear will be even more precise.
8.1.6 Cooling system control

You can use the "Cooling system control" function package to control up to 6
cooling stages in a cooling system. You can also monitor the inlet and outlet
temperature of the cooling medium in each cooling stage.
Function The monitoring system monitors the following temperatures to control the
cooling system:
▪ Topoil temperature: Oil temperature at top of transformer (measured
value)
▪ Hotspot temperature (winding temperature): Highest temperature on the
transformer winding (calculated value)
The hotspot temperature is calculated in accordance with IEC 60076-7:

θHotspot Hotspot temperature at time t

θTopoil Current topoil temperature
H Hotspot factor
gr Gradient of average winding temperature to average oil temper-
ature at rated current
K Load factor (effective current/rated current)
y Winding exponent
t Time
τ Time constant of transformer oil
If the temperatures exceed the threshold values set, the respective cooling
stages are activated.
For the cooling system control to function correctly, you have to set the fol-
lowing parameters.
Alternating operation of The monitoring system allows equivalent cooling stages to be operated in
cooling stages turn. This spreads the load over several cooling stages and therefore ex-
tends the service life.
Oil pumps are never operated in turn.
Automatic cooling stage You can use the "Automatic cooling stage activation" function to set the cool-
activation ing stages to be automatically activated after a certain time. They are then
activated regardless of the temperatures measured.
Load-dependent cooling You can use the "Load-dependent cooling stage activation" function to set
stage activation the cooling stages to be activated using the transformer's load current. They
are then activated regardless of the temperatures measured.

Failsafe mode In the event of an error, TRAFOGUARD® activates all cooling stages to pre-
vent the transformer from overheating. Failsafe mode is activated if the fol-
lowing errors arise:
▪ Failure of a temperature sensor
▪ Parameter error
Test functions TRAFOGUARD™ has a test function you can use to activate individual cool-
ing stages. You can use a further test function to simulate various tempera-
ture values.
8.1.7 Voltage regulation

You can use the "Voltage regulation" function package to automatically regu-
late the voltage of your transformer.
To do this, the voltage regulator compares the transformer's measured out-

put voltage (Vactual) with a defined reference voltage (Vdesired). The difference
between Vactual and Vdesired is the control deviation (dV).

If the control deviation is greater than the specified bandwidth (B%), the volt-
age regulator emits a switching pulse after a defined delay time T1. The
switching pulse triggers an on-load tap-changer tap change which corrects
the transformer's output voltage.
The voltage regulator parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line volt-
age behavior to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of
tap-change operations.
The voltage regulation function package contains the following sub-func-

tions:
NORMset NORMset mode enables you to quickly start up voltage regulation. You must
set the following parameters for this:
▪ Desired value 1
▪ Primary voltage
All other control parameters are determined automatically by the device.
Voltage regulation Full voltage regulation in which you can define all control parameters your-
self.
Limit values The device has a limit value monitoring function. If a limit value is exceeded,
automatic voltage regulation is blocked.
Line drop compensation If necessary, you can use the line drop compensation function to compen-
sate for the load-dependent voltage drop between the transformer and con-
sumer. The device supports the following methods for this:
▪ Line drop compensation
▪ Z compensation
8.1.8 Motor Current Index

With the "Motor Current Index" function package, TRAFOGUARD® deter-
mines and monitors the Motor Current Index in accordance with
IEEE PC57.143.

8.2 Configuration
8.2.1 Selecting input signals

Depending on the function packages selected, all pre-configured input sig-
nals are displayed. You can select those signals required and the signal type
in the overview table.

To select the input signals, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Input signals tab.
Figure 52: Selecting input signals
2. Tick the checkboxes for the signals desired in the Selection column or
remove the tick from those not wanted.
3. Select the desired signal type in the Signal type column.
8.2.2 Selecting free analog signals

If you have selected the "Free inputs and outputs" function package and
your configuration still has free inputs, you can use these for any input sig-
nals.
The number of free inputs depends on the number of input signals selected.
If your selection means that there are inputs available on the cards required,
you can use these for any purpose.
You can assign a unique signal designation to each free input. You must al-
so define how the 4...20 mA signal is to be interpreted by the
TRAFOGUARD®. To do this you need to state the factor, unit and decimal
places.
Example: If you measure a voltage of between 5.0 and 30.0kV and want to
transfer this to the TRAFOGUARD® as a 4...20 mA signal, you need to se-
lect k (for kilo) in the factor column and V (for volt) in the unit column. You
need to select 1 in the decimal places column.

The set values impact on how the limit values are depicted in
TRAFOVISOR™ (Free I/Os menu).
To select the free analog signals, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Free analog signals tab.
Figure 53: Selecting free analog signals
2. Tick the checkboxes for the signals desired in the Selection column.
3. Enter the name of the signal in the Signal name column.
4. Select the desired parameters in the Factor, Unit and Decimal places
columns.
You can add other cards to your TRAFOGUARD® as needed, as long as

there are free slots available. To add or remove another card, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Free analog signals tab.
2. Select the card type (AD8 or TEM card) in the list.
3. Click on the Add card... button to add a new card. Click on the Remove
card... button to remove a card.
When you remove a card, the associated settings are lost.

8.2.3 Parameterizing analog signals

Once you have selected the analog signals required, you can parameterize
them. You can undertake the following settings:
▪ Defining limit values and switch-off hysteresis
▪ You need to set the values for 4 mA and 20 mA for 4...20 mA type sig-
nals
Defining limit values and Depending on the measured value, you can define up to 2 upper limit values
switch-off hysteresis and 2 lower limit values. You can then define what action the monitoring sys-
tem is to trigger when a limit value is exceeded.
You can also define a switch-off hysteresis. If the value falls below the limit
value again, including the switch-off hysteresis, the triggered action is deacti-
vated. The switch-off hysteresis prevents actions from being activated and
deactivated when the measured value fluctuates around the limit value.
The example below shows changes in the measured value and what actions
are triggered by the monitoring system when a limit value is exceeded.
Figure 54: Limit value monitoring
1 Upper limit value 2 6 Signal/event for "Upper limit

value 2 exceeded"
2 Upper limit value 1 7 Signal/event for "Value fallen
below lower limit value 1"
3 Lower limit value 1 8 Signal/event for "Value fallen
below lower limit value 2"
4 Lower limit value 2 9 Measured value
5 Signal/event for "Upper limit 10 Hysteresis
value 1 exceeded"
To define the limit values and switch-off hysteresis, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Parameterizing analog signals
tab.

2. Enter the desired limit values in the Upper limit 2, Upper limit 1, Lower
limit 1 and Lower limit 2 columns.
3. Enter the desired switch-off hysteresis in the Hysteresis column.
Setting 4...20 mA values If you are using a 4...20 mA type analog signal, you need to set the real
measured value to which 4 mA relates and the real measured value to which
20 mA relates.
Example: If you are using a temperature sensor with a measuring range of

0 °C...100 °C, you need to enter 0.0 in the 4 mA column and 100.0 in the
20 mA column.
To set the 4...20 mA value, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Parameterizing analog signals

tab.
2. Enter the desired values in the 4 mA value and 20 mA value columns.
8.2.4 Selecting free binary signals

If you have selected the "Free inputs and outputs" function package and
your configuration still has free binary inputs, you can use these for any bi-
nary signals.
The number of free inputs depends on the number of input signals selected.
If your selection means that there are inputs free on the cards required, you
can use these for any purpose.
You can assign a unique signal designation to each free input.

To select the free binary signals, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Free binary signals tab.
Figure 55: Selecting free binary signals
2. Tick the checkboxes for the signals desired in the Selection column.
3. Enter the name of the signal in the Signal name column.
You can add other cards to your TRAFOGUARD® as needed, as long as

there are free slots available. To add or remove another card, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Free binary signals tab.
2. Click on the Add UC card... button to add a new card. Click on the Re-
move UC card... button to remove a card.
When you remove a card, the associated settings are lost.
8.2.5 Setting binary signal level

For every binary input, you can set how the TRAFOGUARD® is to interpret
the signal. The following options are available:
▪ High: The event is displayed when there is a signal at the input (logical
1).
▪ Low: The event is displayed when there is no signal at the input (logical
0).

To set the binary signal level, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Binary signal level tab.
Figure 56: Setting binary signal level
2. Select the desired option in the Display event at level column.
8.2.6 Routing input signals

The connection terminals of the selected signals are pre-set. If desired, you
can change the contact assignment of the selected signals.
The TRAFOSET™ configuration software tells you when the current configu-
ration is contradictory. An appropriate icon is displayed in the signal name
column to indicate this:
(green): The configuration is OK.
(red): The configuration is not OK, one connection terminal has been as-
signed several times.

To set the connection assignment, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of inputs > Routing of input signals tab.

– Display/Log: Event is displayed and saved in the database.
– -/Log: Event is not displayed but saved in the database.
– -/-: Event is not displayed and is not saved in the database. With this
setting, the event cannot be transferred using the control system or
an output.
Events which are triggered by input signals are generated dynamically. To

do this you are provided with basic texts, which you can change if required.

Each event is assigned a unique event code. Dynamically generated events

are identified by a composite event code. Example:
Event code Description
2 Event 2:
Device was restarted
21-4 Composite event from base text 21 and signal 4:
Measured value load voltage upper limit 2 exceeded
22-4 Composite event from base text 22 and signal 4:
Measured value load voltage upper limit 1 exceeded
Table 19: Structure of the event code
Managing events You can change any event text as you see fit. You can also activate or deac-
tivate any event and define the priority of events.
To manage the events, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration > Outputs and events > Management of
events tab.
Figure 58: Managing events
2. Select the desired option in the Priority column.

3. Make the changes desired in the Text and Short text columns.
4. Select the desired option in the Active/inactive column.

You can use the Reset highlighted line to default text button to restore the
factory settings.
Changing basic texts The basic texts comprise text and a variable. The following variables are
used:
Variable Definition
%s Signal name
%d Number of the cooling stage
Table 20: Variables available
Example: The basic text Measured value %s upper limit 2 exceeded be-
comes the event text Measured value ambient temperature upper limit 2 ex-
ceeded. The basic short text G>> %s becomes G>> ambient temperature.
If you change the basic text, this change only affects the default texts. Event
texts that have already been adapted are not changed.
To change the basic texts, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of outputs and events > Global event texts
tab.
Figure 59: Changing basic texts for events
2. Make the changes desired in the Text and Short text columns.

You can use the Reset highlighted line to default values button to restore
the factory settings.
8.2.8 Routing binary output signals and LEDs

You can assign one or more events to any output or LED. You can also de-
fine a logic for when the signal is to be present at an output or an LED is to
light up. The short text entered is displayed in the connection diagram and
on the LED caption strip.
Note the following limitations when inputting short text:

Short text Character limitation
Short text for outputs 1 line, maximum 30 characters per line
Short text for LEDs 2 lines, maximum 9 characters per line

lows:
► Select the event to be removed in the Event column.
ð Click on the Remove event button.
8.2.9 Routing control system data points

You can define what data is to be transferred from the data model via the
control system. This allows you to transfer certain statuses and instances of
limit values being exceeded.
You can only assign entries from the data model to the data points with a
gray background. All other data points are permanently defined.
To assign the entries from the data model, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of outputs and events > Routing of control
system data points tab.

2. Select the desired entry from the data model in the Description column.
3. If necessary, click on the Export to XLS file button to export the data
point table.

8.2.10 Routing analog outputs

If the device is fitted with an AN card, there are 4 analog outputs available.
You can use these outputs to route the measured values recorded as an an-
alog signal (0...20 mA, 4...20 mA or 0...10 V).
The 0...10 V signal type is only available for the AN1-X1:05 and AN1-X1:07
outputs.
To output measured values via the analog outputs, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Configuration of outputs and events > Analog outputs
tab.
Figure 62: Routing the analog outputs
2. Select the measured value to be transferred in the Signal column and

the signal type (0...20 mA, 4...20 mA or 0...10 V) in the Signal type col-
umn.
3. You can set the scaling desired in the Upper value and Lower value
columns.
Example: If you want to transfer a temperature signal of 0 °C...100 °C, you

need to enter 0 in the Lower value column and 100 in the Upper value col-
umn. Note that the measured values outside the set range can no longer be
transferred. A measured value greater than 100 °C is still transferred as a
20 mA signal.

8.2.12 Tap changer monitoring

The section below describes how to configure the "Tap changer monitoring"
function package. Use the TAPCON®-trol software for this purpose.

The monitoring system administers the following maintenances:

▪ OLTC maintenance
▪ DSI replacement
▪ Tap selector maintenance
▪ OLTC replacement
▪ Oil change and cleaning
▪ Oil filter change (only when operating an oil filter unit)
▪ Contact wear (only with OILTAP® on-load tap-changer types)
▪ Oil sample
▪ Operator time interval and tap change operation interval
8.2.12.1 Setting limits for maintenance messages
You can use these parameters to set the limit for a maintenance notification.
If this limit value is reached, the monitoring system triggers an event mes-
sage.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Maintenance
You can set announcements for the following maintenance work:

▪ OLTC maintenance
▪ DSI replacement
▪ Selector maintenance
▪ Oil change and cleaning
▪ Contact wear
▪ Oil sample
8.2.12.2 Setting limits for operator messages
You can use these parameters to define 2 separate intervals after which the
monitoring system issues a message. You can define the following interval
types:
▪ Tap-change operation interval
▪ Time interval
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Operator
Tap-change operations interval Operator
This parameter defines a number-of-operations interval. This interval defines

the maximum number of tap-change operations. An event message is pro-
duced when the limit value is reached.

The set value has to be multiplied by 1000 to obtain the number-of-opera-

tions interval.
Message for Operator tap-change operations
This parameter sets the message limit for the number of operator tap-
change operations. If this limit value is achieved, the corresponding progress
bar flashes in the display.
Operator time interval
This parameter defines a time interval. Together with the "operator date in-
terval" parameter, the time interval is used to calculate the status bar.
Operator date interval
This parameter defines the final date for the operator interval. An event mes-
sage is triggered when the limit value is reached.
The date can be set from 01.01.2001 to 29.12.2099 and has the following
format:
DD:MM:YY
The time format can be set using the 24-hour format:

HH:MM:SS
Message for Operator time interval
The limit for the operator time interval message is set using this parameter. If
this limit value is achieved, the corresponding progress bar flashes in the
display.
8.2.12.3 Confirming maintenance work
If maintenance was performed, this must be confirmed in the monitoring sys-

tem. Only confirmed maintenance work does not result in new maintenance
events. As soon as maintenance work is confirmed, a corresponding note is
written in the maintenance history database.
The wear values of the on-load tap-changer contacts measured during

OLTC maintenance work on the abrasion parts must be entered in the cor-
responding menu prior to confirming maintenance.
You can confirm maintenance work with the following parameters.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Service

2 Setting contact wear [► 92]
8.2.12.4 Setting contact wear
Determining contact wear The thickness of the wear to be entered is the sum of the wear of the mova-
ble and the fixed contact part.
Figure 66: Determining contact wear
1 Fixed contact y1 Thickness of the worn contact

coating (fixed contact)
2 Movable contact x2 Thickness of the contact coat-
ing when new (movable con-
tact)
x1 Thickness of the contact coat- y2 Thickness of the worn contact
ing when new (fixed contact) coating (movable contact)
The wear thickness z to be entered is determined as follows:

z = x1 - y1 + x2 - y2
Setting contact wear You have to enter the previously determined contact wear for each switching
and transition contact.
▪ Main switching contact A (SKA)
▪ Main switching contact B (SKB)
▪ Transition contact A (WKA or WK1A)
▪ Transition contact B (WKB or WK1B)
▪ Transition contact 2A (WK2A)*
▪ Transition contact 2B (WK2B)*
*) The transition contacts WK2A and WK2B are not available with every on-
load tap-changer. If these contacts are not available with your on-load tap-
changer, you have to set the value 0.000 mm.

The monitoring system ignores contact wear entries that deviate greatly
from the calculated value (zentry > 10 ∙ zcalculated) in order to avoid entry errors.
Nevertheless, if you would like to enter a value that deviates greatly, you
have to set the contact wear to 0.000 mm beforehand.
8.2.12.5 Tap changer parameters
You can set the tap changer parameters using these parameters.
▪ Passes through neutral position
▪ On-load tap-changer serial number*
▪ Factor "s" of current splitting*
▪ On-load tap-changer type*
▪ Average step voltage*
▪ Parallel sectors*
▪ R1*
▪ R2*
*) These parameters are pre-set and can only be changed after consulting
with Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > OLTC
Passes through neutral position
You can use this parameter to set the number of passes through the neutral
position.
8.2.12.6 Activating "Test operations" mode
You can use this parameter to activate "Test operations" mode. When in
"Test operations" mode, contact wear and soot are not calculated during the
tap-changes then undertaken.
The "Test operations" mode is automatically deactivated under the following

conditions:
▪ The monitoring system has measured a load current for longer than 1
minute.
▪ 8 hours after the parameter was activated.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > General

8.2.13 Cooling system control

The section below describes how to configure the "Cooling system control"
function package. Use the TAPCON®-trol software for this purpose.
8.2.13.1 Setting general cooling
You can set the parameters listed below under the General cooling menu
item.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Gen. cooling
Interval for alternating operation
You can use this parameter to define the maximum difference in operating
hours for alternating cooling stages [► 71]. If this value is exceeded, the
monitoring system automatically switches to the cooling stage with the short-
er operating period.
Aging rate
You can use this parameter to set the current aging rate for your transform-
er.
Calculating aging
You can use this parameter to define the standard in line with which aging is
to be calculated. You can select between IEC 60076-7 and AN-
SI IEEE C57.91.
Hotspot factor
You can use this parameter to set the hotspot factor for calculating the hot-
spot temperature in accordance with IEC 60076-7 (transformer-specific).
This is factor H which has no dimensions.
Hotspot factor H = 1.1 can be set with sufficient accuracy for distribution
transformers with a short-circuit impedance ≤ 8 %. For mid-size and large
transformers, a hotspot factor of H = 1.3 may result in more accurate calcu-
lations.
Cooling system runtime
You can use this parameter to set the cooling system's current runtime.
Switching on with predictive hotspot
You can use this parameter to define which hotspot type activates the cool-
ing stage. You can select the following options:
▪ Forecast hotspot: The cooling stage is activated by the forecast hotspot
temperature before the real hotspot temperature is reached. This re-
duces aging.

▪ Real hotspot: The cooling stage is activated by the real hotspot (meas-
ured or calculated).
Using measured hotspot
You can use this parameter to set how the real hotspot is recorded. You can
select the following options:
▪ Measured: The hotspot temperature is measured by up to 3 sensors. If
the hotspot is recorded by several sensors, the monitoring system uses
the maximum temperature.
▪ Calculated: The hotspot temperature is calculated using the transformer
load.
Aging calculation
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate the aging calculation.
When you deactivate the aging calculation, the following events are no lon-
ger monitored or reported:
▪ Transformer aging rate measured value not available
▪ Transformer aging rate measured value limit exceeded
Oil temperature offset correction
You can use this parameter to undertake an offset correction for the meas-
ured oil temperature. The value set here is added to the measured oil tem-
perature if the measured oil temperature is greater than 30 °C.

2 Cooling system control [► 71]
8.2.13.2 Setting contact S1...S6
You use the following parameters in the Contact S1...S6 menu item to define
when the monitoring system is to activate or deactivate the individual cooling
stages. Both the oil temperature (topoil) and winding temperature (hotspot)
can be used as the threshold value.
The switching criterion defines the definitive temperature.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Contact S1-S6.
Alternating
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate alternating mode [► 71]
for a cooling stage.
This parameter can be set separately for each cooling stage.

Hysteresis
You can use this parameter to set the switch-off hysteresis. The switch-off
limit value is the threshold value less the switch-off hysteresis. If the value
falls below the limit value, the monitoring system deactivates the respective
cooling stage after an optional delay time.
Example: If the threshold value is set to 50 °C and the hysteresis to 5 °C,

the cooling stage is deactivated when the temperature falls below 45 °C.
The parameter must be configured separately for each cooling stage.
Switching criterion
You can use this parameter to define the criterion for switching on and off.
The switching criterion regulates which threshold values are used to switch
the cooling stage on and off.
Setting Threshold value for Threshold value for
switching on switching off
Oil/Oil Oil temperature Oil temperature
Hotspot/Hotspot Winding temperature Winding temperature
Hotspot/Oil Winding temperature Oil temperature
Table 22: Setting options for switching criterion
Delay
You can use this parameter to define the switch-off delay. If the value falls
below the switch-off limit, the cooling stage is deactivated after the switch-off
delay.
Winding temperature
You can use this parameter to define the threshold value for the winding
temperature (hotspot). If the threshold value is exceeded, the monitoring
system activates the respective cooling stage.
Oil temperature
You can use this parameter to define the threshold value for oil temperature
(topoil). If the threshold value is exceeded, the monitoring system activates
the respective cooling stage.

2 Cooling system control [► 71]

8.2.13.3 Setting cooling stage 0...6
You use the following parameters in the Cooling stage 0...6 menu item to set
the parameters for the individual cooling stages.
Cooling stage 0 describes the transformer's thermal parameters without an

activated cooling stage.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Cooling stage 0-6.
Gradient
You can use this parameter to set the temperature gradients of the average
winding temperature to the average oil temperature at rated current for cal-
culating hotspot temperature in accordance with IEC 60076-7. This is factor
gr.
Winding exponent
You can use this parameter to set the winding exponents for calculating the
hotspot temperature in accordance with IEC 60076-7. This is parameter y.
Time constant
You can use this parameter to set the time constants for calculating the hot-
spot temperature in accordance with IEC 60076-7. This is parameter τ.
Rated value
You can use this parameter to enter the rated value of the cooling stage.
This parameter is needed to calculate the hotspot temperature.
Type of oil circulation
You can use this parameter to define the type of oil circulation.
The parameter must be configured separately for each cooling stage. The
following options are available:
Option Description
ON Oil Natural - natural oil convection

8.2.13.5 Setting automatic cooling stage activation
You can use the "Automatic cooling stage activation" function to set the cool-
ing stages to be automatically activated after a certain time. They are then
activated regardless of the temperatures measured.
You can use this function to regularly activate rarely used cooling stages and
thereby avoid damage to the cooling stages from long down periods.
If you operate more than 1 cooling stage, the individual cooling stages are
activated one after another at intervals of 2 minutes to avoid peaks in volt-
age.

Switch-on delay
You can use this parameter to set the time after which the cooling stages are
to be automatically activated for the first time. The time starts as soon as you
activate the automatic cooling stage activation (Auto. cooling On/Off param-
eter)
Cooling stages runtime
You can use this parameter to set how long the cooling stages are to remain
activated. Once the cooling stages runtime has elapsed, the cooling stages
are deactivated again.

Load-dep. cooling st. overrun
You can use this parameter to set how long the cooling stages are to contin-
ue running once the value again falls below the switch-on threshold for the
load-dependent cooling stage activation.

8.2.14 Voltage regulation

The section below describes how to configure the "Voltage regulation" func-
tion package. Use the TAPCON®-trol software for this purpose.
8.2.14.1 NORMset
NORMset mode is used for quickly starting voltage regulation. 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
Line drop compensation cannot be performed in NORMset mode.
Set the following parameters to operate the device in NORMset mode.
Path: [Parameter set] > Normset > Normset parameter.
Normset activation
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.
Primary voltage
With this parameter, you can set the voltage transformer's primary voltage.
Secondary voltage
With this parameter, you can set the voltage transformer's secondary volt-
age.
Desired value 1
With this parameter, you can set the desired value for automatic voltage reg-
ulation. You can enter the desired value in V or in kV. 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.
8.2.14.2 Control parameters
This submenu contains all the parameters required for the control function.
▪ Desired value 1, 2 and 3
▪ Bandwidth
▪ Delay time T1
▪ Control response T1
▪ Delay time T2
Path: [Parameter set] > Control parameters > Control parameters.
Desired value 1, 2, 3
With these parameters, you can set the desired value for automatic voltage
regulation. You can enter the desired value in V or in kV. 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.
You can specify 3 desired values. Desired value 1 is the default desired val-
ue. You can activate desired value 2 or 3 by creating a continuous signal at
the IO-X1:17 or IO-X1:16 binary inputs. If there is a signal at both inputs, de-
sired value 2 is active.
Bandwidth
You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible deviation in
measured voltage Vactual. The deviation relates to the activated desired value.
Function behavior If the measured voltage Vactual is inside the set bandwidth , then no con-
trol commands are issued to the on-load tap-changer. Control commands
will also not be issued to the on-load tap-changer if the measured voltage re-
turns to the tolerance bandwidth within the set delay time T1 . How-
ever, if the measured voltage deviates from the set bandwidth for a long pe-
riod , 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 direc-
tion to return to the tolerance bandwidth.

Figure 71: Voltage over time
1 + B %: Upper limit 4 Set delay time T1

2 Vdesired: Desired value 5 Vactual: Measured voltage
3 - B %: Lower limit 6 B%: Tolerance bandwidth
A Vactual is outside the band- B Vactual is within the bandwidth
width. Delay time T1 starts. before delay time T1 is com-
plete.
C Vactual is outside the band- D Vactual is still outside the band-
width. Delay time T1 starts. width when delay time T1 is
complete. Tap-change opera-
tion is initiated.
Determining bandwidth In order to set the correct value, the transformer's step voltage and nominal
voltage must be known.
You have to set the bandwidth in such a way that the output voltage of the
transformer (Vactual) returns to within the specified tolerance bandwidth after
the tap change. If too small a bandwidth is defined, the output voltage ex-
ceeds the bandwidth selected and the device must immediately issue a tap-
change command in the opposite direction. If a very large bandwidth is se-
lected, this results in a major control deviation.
The following value is recommended for the bandwidth setting:
Vn-1 Step voltage of tap position n-1

Vn Step voltage of tap position n
Vnom Nominal voltage

The following transformer parameters are used for determining the recom-
mended bandwidth:
Nominal voltage Vnom = 11000 V
Step voltage in tap position 4 VStep4 = 11275 V
Step voltage in tap position 5 VStep5 = 11000 V
Delay time T1
Delay time T1 delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined pe-
riod. This function prevents unnecessary tap-change operations if the toler-
ance bandwidth is exited.
If the current measured voltage exits the bandwidth, delay time T1 starts.
This is shown in the display by the time bar filling and the remaining time be-
ing indicated. If the control deviation is still present after the delay time, a
tap-change command is issued.
If during the delay time the measured voltage returns to within the tolerance
bandwidth, the delay time still running is counted down in seconds starting
from the time already expired. The absolute time display disappears from the
display. The time bar is shown hatched and shrinks steadily. If the measured
voltage again exceeds the set bandwidth, then the time delay is restarted
from the remaining time.
Control response T1
The control response T1 can be set to linear or integral.
Linear control response T1 With linear control response, the device responds with a constant delay time
regardless of the control deviation.
Integral control response With integral control response, the device responds with a variable delay
T1 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 72: 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
Delay time T2
With this parameter, you can set 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 for returning the voltage to within the set bandwidth. The first output
pulse occurs after the set delay time T1. After the set delay time T2 has
elapsed, additional pulses occur in order to correct the existing control devia-
tion.
The delay time T2 must be greater than the pulse duration and the maxi-
mum operating time of the motor-drive unit.
T2 activation
With this parameter, you can activate the delay time T2 function.
8.2.14.3 Limit values
This sub-menu contains the parameters for monitoring the limit values.
[Parameter set] > Control parameters > Limit values.

Function monitoring
If the bandwidth is exceeded for more than 15 minutes, the device issues the
Function monitoring event message and the associated relay is activated.
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate the function monitoring.
V< blocking
You can use this parameter to set how the device behaves if the voltage falls
below the undervoltage limit. You can select the following options:
Setting Function
On Automatic regulation is blocked.
Off Automatic regulation remains active.
Table 26: Behavior
V< Delay
You can use this parameter to set the delay time after which the Undervolt-
age relay is to activate. This can be used to prevent messages from being
issued when the value briefly falls below the limit value. The undervoltage
LED always lights up immediately regardless.
V< also under 30 V
With this parameter, you can set whether the undervoltage message is to be
suppressed at a measured value of less than 30 V. This setting is used to
ensure that no event message appears when the transformer is switched off.
You can select the following options:
Setting Function
On The Undervoltage message is also displayed
when the measured value is less than 30 V.
Off The Undervoltage message is no longer dis-
played when the measured value is less than
30 V.
Table 27: Behavior
8.2.14.4 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

You can use R&X compensation and Z compensation at the same time. If
you do not want to use one method, you have to set the associated parame-
ters to 0.
If you are using the IEC 61850 control system protocol, you can only acti-
vate one of the two compensation methods at any one time. A control sys-
tem command is available for this.

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. You also need to correctly set the transformer circuit [► 57]
used.
Figure 73: Equivalent circuit
Figure 74: Phasor diagram
You can calculate the ohmic and inductive voltage drop using the following
formulas. This voltage drop calculation relates to the relativized voltage on
the secondary side of the voltage transformer.

Formula for calculating the ohmic voltage drop:
Formula for calculating the inductive voltage drop:
Ur Ohmic resistance load in Ω/km

Ux Inductive resistance load in Ω/km
IN Nominal current (amps) of selected current-trans-
former connection on device:
kCT Current transformer ratio
kVT Voltage transformer ratio
r Ohmic resistance load in Ω/km per phase
x Inductive resistance load in Ω/km per phase
L Length of line in km
K Nominal current factor
You can set the parameters for line drop compensation in the Compensation
sub-menu.
Path: [Parameter set] > Control parameters > Compensation
Ohmic voltage drop Ur You can use this parameter to set the ohmic voltage drop (ohmic resistance
load).
If you do not want to use line drop compensation, you have to set the value
0.0 V.
Inductive voltage drop Ux You can use this parameter to set the inductive voltage drop (inductive re-
sistance load). The compensation effect can be rotated by 180° in the dis-
play using a plus or minus sign.
If you do not want to use line drop compensation, you have to set the value
0.0 V.

8.2.14.4.2 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 75: Z compensation
To use Z compensation, you need to calculate the increase in voltage (ΔU)

taking the current into account. Use the following formula for this purpose:
∆U Voltage increase I Load current in A

UTr Transformer voltage with IN Nominal current of current-
current I transformer connection in A
()
ULoad Voltage on line end with kCT Current transformer ratio
current I and on-load tap-
changer in same operating
position
Sample calculation: UTr = 100.1 V, ULoad = 100.0 V, IN = 5 A kCT = 200 A/5 A,

I = 100 A
Produces a voltage increase ∆U of 0.2%
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters you need
for Z compensation.
You can set the parameters for line drop compensation in the Compensation
sub-menu.
Path: [Parameter set] > Control parameters > Compensation
Z compensation This parameter sets the voltage increase ∆V previously calculated.

If you do not want to use Z compensation, you have to set the value 0.0 %.
Z compensation limit value You can use this parameter to define the maximum permissible voltage in-
crease to avoid excess voltage on the transformer.
If you do not want to use a limit value, you have to set the value 0.0 %.
8.2.14.5 General
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > General
Raise/Lower pulse duration
You can use this parameter to set the duration of the switching pulse for the
motor-drive unit.
If you set the switching pulse time to 0 s, the motor-drive unit is activated
with a continuous signal. The signal then remains active for as long as the
or keys are pressed.
Switching pulse in normal If you set the switching pulse time to 1.5 seconds for example, after the set
mode delay time T1 or delay time T2 there will be a switching pulse of 1.5 sec-
onds .
The waiting time between 2 consecutive switching pulses corresponds to the

set delay time T1 or delay time T2 .

Figure 76: Switching pulse time in normal mode
1 Set delay time T1 or T2 2 Set switching pulse time (for

example 1.5 seconds)
If the motor-drive unit does not start with the factory setting (1.5 seconds),
you need to extend the raise switching pulse time / lower switching pulse
time.
Switching pulse for rapid If you set the raise switching pulse time or lower switching pulse time to
return control 1.5 seconds, for example , the next earliest switching pulse occurs in rapid
return control mode 1.5 seconds after the previous switching pulse
ended.

pulse/lower switching pulse switching pulse/lower switch-
ing pulse (for example
1.5 seconds)
2 Set switching pulse time (for
example 1.5 seconds)
Motor runtime
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.
Behavior 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)
Parameterizing control To use runtime monitoring, you need to correctly wire the corresponding
input control input and parameterize to Motor running. The motor runtime must al-
so be set.

8.2.14.6 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.
Conditions for parallel Compliance with the following general conditions is required for operating
operation transformers in parallel:
▪ Identical rated voltages
▪ Transformer power ratio (< 3 : 1)
▪ Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (UK) 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.
Parallel operation method 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.
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters. Ensure
that you have set the following parameters when activating parallel opera-
tion:
▪ CAN bus address
8.2.14.6.1 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.
Path: [Parameter set] > Configuration > Parallel operation

8.2.14.6.2 Selecting parallel operation method
You can use this parameter to select a parallel operation method. 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.
8.2.14.6.2.1 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.
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.

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.
8.2.14.6.2.2 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 28: 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.
If you select Off, parallel operation is deactivated.
8.2.14.6.2.2.1 Selecting the follower tapping direction
You can use this parameter to correct the follower's switching direction, with-
out re-configuring the system. Since in parallel operation using the Tap syn-
chronization master/follower method the tap positions of the transformers
which are running in parallel are compared, it is absolutely essential that

these transformers have the same tap position designation and that the
"Raise" or "Lower" signals produce the same voltage change in all trans-
formers.
Swapped switching If you have wired the device such that a RAISE operation results in lower
direction voltage, you can use this parameter to swap the switching direction. If the
switching direction is swapped, the "Lower" relay is activated during a volt-
age RAISE operation. The wiring no longer has to be corrected. But be sure
that the wiring between the device and motor-drive unit is correct.
Parameters Definition
Standard A raise signal results in the follower switching
up one step to increase the voltage.
A lower signal results in the follower switching
down one step to decrease the voltage.
Swapped A raise signal results in the follower switching
down one step to increase the voltage.
A lower signal results in the follower switching
up one step to decrease the voltage.
Table 29: Device behavior
Ensure that you only set this parameter for the follower. The tapping direc-
tion can only be swapped for a follower.
8.2.14.6.3 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
delay time has elapsed, the event is issued at the output relay. Automatic
regulation is blocked and the on-load tap-changers can only be adjusted in
manual mode.
8.2.14.6.4 Deactivating parallel operation
To deactivate parallel operation, you have to set the option Off for the paral-
lel operation method parameter.
8.2.15 Password protection
