1 Warnings and Notes
The REG - DA voltage regulator is exclusively designed for im-

plementation in systems and equipment incorporating electrical
energy technology on which only trained experts are permitted
to carry out all required work. Experts are persons who are fa-
miliar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and oper-
ation of these types of products. Furthermore, experts have
qualifications which comply with their field of work.
The REG - DA voltage regulator has been designed and tested
in accordance with all important electrical safety regulations
and left the factory in perfect condition. To maintain this condi-
tion and to ensure safe operation, the following instructions and
warnings in this operating manual must be observed.
❑ The REG - DA voltage regulator has been designed to com-
ply with IEC 10110/EN 61010 (DIN VDE 0411), degree of
protection I and was tested according to this standard be-
fore delivery.
❑ The REG - DA voltage regulator must be earthed via a pro-
tective earth conductor. This condition is fulfilled when the
voltage regulator is connected to an auxiliary voltage with a
protective earth conductor (European power supply sys-
tem). If the auxiliary voltage power supply system does not
have a protective earth conductor, an additional connection
must be established from the protective earth conductor
terminal to earth.
❑ The upper limit of the permissible auxiliary voltage UAUX may
not be exceeded, neither permanently nor for a short period
of time.
❑ Before changing the fuse, separate the RE G -DA voltage
regulator completely from the auxiliary voltage UAUX.
The use of fuses other than those of the indicated type and
rated current is prohibited.
❑ A REG - DA voltage regulator which displays visible dam-
age or clear malfunctioning must not be used and has to be
secured against unintentionally being switched on.
❑ Maintenance and repair work on an opened REG - DA volt-
age regulator may only be carried out by authorized ex-
perts.

3 Technical Data
3.1 Basic Equipment
Dimensions
Each regulator can be locked with a password so that the reg- Lead sealing
ulating parameters cannot be changed.
The REG - DA can also be lead-sealed to visibly protect it from
being opened by unauthorized persons.
For this purpose, a lead-sealing wire is pulled diagonally
through the bores in the lower right corner of the housing corner
and is secured with a lead-sealing tool.
This measure ensures that the device can only be opened by
breaking the lead sealing.

3.4 Pin Assignment
On level I, all of the signals are connected with non-exposed
voltage.
All of the electric circuits of level I have a nominal insulation volt-
age of > 50 V and are therefore considered to be non-exposed
in accordance with VDE 0110.
Please observe this condition even if extremely low voltages are
connected to the relay contacts or the binary inputs.

*) The regulator with feature M1 provides only one voltage input,

since this is adequate for standard regulating functions.
When carrying out measurements in three-phase systems with
three conductors which are loaded according to the respective
requirements of the user, the three phase-to-phase voltages
must be led to the terminals 2, 5 and 8.
Triple-wound applications function with two separate input volt-
ages U1 and U2.

The REG - DA voltage regulator is equipped for measuring in

three-phase current networks with four conductors which are
loaded according to the respective requirements of the user.
This regulator may therefore be connected to up to three cur-
rent transformers.
Voltage regulation generally only requires a single-phase con-
nection (one delta or phase voltage and one line current), be-
cause it may be assumed that the network conditions at the
transformer are as symmetrical as possible (feature M1).
For a more precise measurement of the outputs, it is possible
to switch over to the Aron circuit. In this case, two voltages and
two currents must be connected (feature M2).
The third current input is reserved for special cases, which must
be coordinated before the device is delivered.

REG - DA
Auxiliary voltage (terminals 21 and 22)
Since the REG - DA voltage regulator is a device of safety class
I, the protective earth must be connected first.
In the lower part of the housing a plug-in shoe (6.3 x 0.8 mm) is
provided for connecting the protective earth.
Plug-in
shoe for
the protective
earth
The auxiliary voltage is supplied via the twin sub-unit (terminals

21 and 22).
Two types of power supply units are available:
Before connecting, please ensure that the intended supply volt-
age corresponds to the auxiliary voltage of the device as stated
on the nameplate.
Feature H0:
Both direct and alternating voltages may be connected.
Ranges: 88 V ... 220 V ... 280 V DC
85 V ... 110 V ... 264 V AC
Capacity: < 15 VA
Feature H1:
18 V ... 60 V ... 72 V DC
Capacity: < 10 W

REG - DA
Both the auxiliary voltage and, thus, also the power supply of
the device is protected by a A T2L 250V microfuse.
The fuse holder can be opened with a screwdriver. A spare fuse
is included in the scope of delivery of the device.
Note
Please note that the fuse catch should never be
screwed on without having a fuse inserted, since it
could be otherwise problematical to open the fuse hold-
er.
3.4.1.2 Control Voltage

(terminals 2, 5 and 8, 10)
The control voltage must be connected to the terminals 2 and
5.
Any voltage from the three-phase current network can be used
as the control voltage. The type of voltage (delta or phase volt-
age, L1L2, L2L3, L3L1, U1N, U2N, U3N) must be communicat-
ed to the regulator via the menu (SETUP 5, F2).
The nominal application range of the control voltage ranges
from 60 to 140 V and is expressed in terms of delta voltage.
In the case of a connection between phase and N, the range of
60 to 140 V becomes the range of 34.6 to 80.8 V.
If only a phase voltage (e.g. L1N) is available for recording the
actual value of the voltage, please observe that a one-pole
high-resistant earth connection affects L1 similar to a voltage
drop.
In this case, the regulator regulates upward in the direction of a
higher voltage, although - in a compensated network - the delta
voltages could be constant. In the case of a low-resistant earth
connection, the input voltage will be lower than the shut-off limit
and will thus block regulation.
The frequency range of the input voltage extends from 16 to 65
Hz.
Strongly distorted signals may also be connected by means of
a complex filtering of the measuring voltages and the measuring
currents.
By using feature M2, voltage U2 can be connected to terminal
5 and voltage U3 to terminal 8.

REG - DA
The following applies:
UL1 → 2
UL2 → 5
UL3 → 8
Both of the voltage inputs U1 and U2 are available for triple-
wound applications.
In each case, this is a special version which will be described
separately.
3.4.1.3 Current Inputs

(terminals 1, 3 and 4, 6 and 7, 9)
Normal regulator operation does not require connection to a
power supply.
In many cases, however, the voltage must be raised and/or
lowered according to the respective load.
It is necessary to connect the current transformer I1 (1 and 3)
to carry out this additional task.
However, even without current-dependent regulation, we rec-
ommend connecting the power supply so that the regulator can
also measure the network and display it in the transducer
mode.
When connecting either the current transformer with feature M1
or the current transformer with feature M2, please ensure that
each is correctly connected (k, l!).
Two current transformers must be connected for measuring in
networks with three conductors that are loaded according to
the respective requirements of the user.
The third current can be calculated on the basis of both of the
measured currents. The third current connection (4, 6) is re-
served for special cases, which will be described separately.
The changeover from 1 A to 5 A or vice-versa is accomplished
via the menu. The use of hardware such as a bridge or jumper
is not necessary.
Caution!
Please observe that the current or currents must be
short-circuited before pulling the plug or removing the
conductors from terminals 1, 3, 7 and 9.

3.4.1.4 Relay Outputs
(terminals 33 ... 59)
The REG - DA voltage regulator has 13 relays.
Relay 13 is used as a life contact and monitors the centricity of
the processor as well as the supply voltages of the system.
Relays 1 ... 12 are available for controlling the transformer.
Relays R1, R2 and R12 have been specifically assigned certain
functions, whereas all of the other relays are freely programma-
ble. The relays have been programmed with frequently used
functions on delivery.

Equipping analogue inputs is dependent on the selected struc-

ture of the features.
Both mA inputs and mA outputs may be realized.
A module is available for measuring the oil temperature (trans-
former monitoring), which can be directly attached to a PT 100.
The connection is laid out as a three-conductor circuit and can
be laid across a distance of approximately 100 m.
The inputs can operate continuously short-circuited or open. All
inputs are electrically isolated from all of the other circuits. The
voltage regulator is standardly equipped with one analogue in-
put. The intended use must be defined when ordering.
The outputs can operate continuously short-circuited or open.
All outputs are electrically isolated from all of the other circuits.

5.2 Operating Principle
Operation of the REG - DA voltage regulator is completely
menu-guided and is principally the same for each menu item in
the “SETUP” menu.
The following operating principles apply for setting or changing
the regulation parameters:
➪ “OPERATION MODE MANUAL” changes the opera-
tion mode to manual operation
➪ “MENU” polls the list of operation modes
➪ “MENU” selects the menu item “SETUP”
➪ “MENU” can be used to scroll through the pages of

the “SETUP” menu selection until the required parameter
appears on the display.
➪ Select a parameter via the corresponding function key

(“F1” to “F5”).
➪ Set the value of the parameter via the function keys.

"F1” increases the value in large tap increments
"F2” increases the value in small tap increments
"F4” decreases the value in large tap increments
"F5” decreases the value in small tap increments
➪ "F3” is reserved for special functions in some “SET-
UP” menus.
➪ After entering a value, the changed value must be con-

firmed by pressing “RETURN” .
➪ Entering the password (for information on the “Password

request“, please refer to page 54).
➪ Return or leave the “SETUP” menus by pressing the “ESC

(ABORT)” key.
➪ The “SETUP” menus will be automatically exited if no key is

pressed within a period of approx. 15 seconds.
➪ Once the required parameters are entered, checked and in-

dividually confirmed by pressing the “RETURN” key,
the REG - DA voltage regulator can be switched back to the
“OPERATION MODE AUTO” .

REG - DA
5.3 Selecting the Display Mode
After pressing the “MENU” key, the display modes of the
REG - DA voltage regulator can be selected.
The following modes are available:
❑ Regulator mode
❑ Transducer mode
❑ Recorder mode
❑ Statistics mode
Regulator Mode ➪ The “F1“ key is used to select the "Regulator

The current deviation of the setpoint is
analogously indicated (by a pointer) in a scale with a bandwidth
ranging from + 10%.
➪ Should the set permissible regulative deviation (tolerance
band) be over- or undershot, the colour of the scale‘s point-
er will change from transparent to solid black.
If required, the present value of the current may also be dis-
played.
Note
If the term “Actual Value” is displayed in capital let-
ters as “ACTUAL VALUE”, this indicates that the
”MEASURED VALUE SIMULATION” is active! (see page

If the device is switched in parallel, it could be advantageous to

have the circulating reactive current displayed as well.
In the transducer mode, only the reactive current ∆I sinϕ of each
transformer will be displayed. However, it is not possible to de-

REG - DA
termine on the basis of this display which share of the current
pertains to the load and which pertains to the reactive current.
The circulating reactive current Icirc indicates the share of the
current that is “circulating” in the transformers switched in par-
allel, not the share taken up by the load.
The quasi-analogue scale illustrates the relationship between
the circulating reactive current “Icirc” and the permissible circu-
lating reactive current “perm. Icirc”.
If the circulating reactive current becomes zero, the quotient will
also become zero and the pointer will be positioned in the mid-
dle of the scale.
However, generally speaking, this ideal situation can - in actual
use - only then be reached, when the transformers switched in
parallel exhibit the same electrical features.
Recorder mode ➪ The “F3” key is used to select the “Recorder

Mode”.
As standard, every regulator is
equipped with a DEMO recorder (fea-
ture: DEMO in the lower left corner of
the grid).
Above the grid, the set permissible reg-
ulative deviation is displayed by means
of two black arrows. In this manner, the
recorder display is capable of supplying
all of the information needed for operating the regulator.
(for more information on the ” LC Display recorder mode” see
page 38).
In addition to the value of the current voltage and the tap-
changer position (in the lower left-hand corner), the display also
indicates the permissible regulative deviation (black arrows
above the grid) and the temporal course of the voltage (past val-
ues).
Within the grid, the current voltage is the value which intersects
the lower line of the two parallel border lines at the top of the
grid.
Independent of the selected feedrate speed (F4), the memory
stores values at a temporally equidistant rate of 1 second.
Each 1 second value consists of 10 100 ms values.

REG - DA
Altogether seven scale divisions are available on the display.
Thus, a maximum time range of 7 x 10 minutes (70 minutes)
may be shown on the screen.
The shortest time range with the biggest optical resolution is
7 x 14 seconds (98 seconds).
Apart from the voltage, the recorder can also record the current
and the angle ϕ. The tap-changer position information and the
setpoint value with tolerance band are always recorded as well.
In the second recorder menu (F3-F3), the requested mode can
be selected via the menu item “Number of channels” (F4). It is
possible to change modes at any time without loss of data.

In the first recorder menu (F3), the menu item “Dual Display” (F4)
can be used to switch back and forth between the one-channel
display of U and the two-channel display of U (left) and I (right).
The time axis is the same for both curves; dx only changes the
resolution of U, whereas the scale for I remains the same.
Deriving variables from the recorder data
In the first recorder menu (F3,F3), the
menu item “MMU display” (F5) can be
used to switch the display of variables
derived from the current cursor value
(at the very top) on and off. If only two
recorder channels (U+I) have been se-
lected (second recorder menu
(F3,F3,F4)), I and S will be displayed as
numeric values.
If all three recorder channels (U + I + ϕ) are activated, then I, ϕ,
P and Q will be displayed as numeric values.
It is also possible to search for an event in the second recorder
menu. If both the date and the time of a certain event are
known, this data can be selected in the “Time Search” sub-
menu of the second recorder menu.
After returning to the recorder main menu (by pressing F3 or
Enter), the recorder lists the selected time and displays all of the
selected electrical measured values as well as the correspond-
ing tap-changes.

Changes made under load are addi-
tionally displayed for each tap-change.
Note
If the tap-changer is working under load (I > 0.05 ⋅ In), a
double arrow “>>” indicates the present tap-changer
position.
If the load condition is not fulfilled, the present tap-
changer position will be indicated by a single arrow “>”.
In conjunction with the recorder, the statistics mode provides

valuable information regarding the controlled system.
The parameters “Time factor” and “Permissible regulative devi-

ation” can be used to reach an optimum between the voltage
stability and the number of tap-changer positions. However,
this relation cannot be calculated mathematically as it is subject
to the individual conditions at the respective feeding points.
Paragramer ➪ The “F5” key is used to select the “Paragramer

Mode”.

The PARAGRAMER is a tool used for

automatically preparing parallel con-

222
nections and for one-line visualization
LLL of the switching status.

The artificial word PARAGRAMER es-

SNNNNNN
The PARAGRAMER displays the
switching status of the individual transformers in one-line
graphics and can be polled by pressing the F5 key in the main
menu.

REG - DA
The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica
(positions of the circuit-breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and
bus couplings) into each regulator by means of binary inputs.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can inde-
pendently recognize which transformer is to work with which
other(s) transformer(s) on a busbar in parallel operation.
Busbars connected by bus coupling(s) are treated like one sin-
gle busbar by the system.
As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are
working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding into
busbar “b”.
If special crosslinks are needed be-

tween the busbars, we recommend

that you contact the headquarters of 22

The corresponding time and date of a certain event can be
found using the “F1” and “F 2 ” keys which are
used to set the voltage-time diagram back to the time-refer-
ence line (beginning of the grid at the top). The time, date, volt-
age level and tap-changer position can then be read below the
grid.
If historical data is displayed, the term "HIST" appears in the
lower left-hand corner of the grid. Display of past measured val-
ues may be aborted at any time by pressing the
“ESC (ABORT)” key.
The “F3” key is used to open the Recorder 1 menu,
where the jump displacement (for searching via the “F1”
and “F2” keys in recorder mode) can be set under the
menu item “Scroll”. This helps to speed up the search proce-
dure. It is also possible to switch back and forth between “Dual
Display” and “MMU display” in the Recorder 1 menu.
Pressing the “F3” key in the Recorder 1 menu will take
you to the Recorder 2 menu. In this menu a specific search date
and time can be set under the menu item “Time Search”. Differ-
ent displays (U, U+I or U+I+Phi) can be selected under the
menu item “Channel Display”.
After returning to the recorder mode again by pressing the
“ESC (ABORT)” key, the time-line diagram for the se-
lected point in time appears.
The Recorder 1 and Recorder 2 menus display the current fill
level of the memory in “%” as well as in “days”.

An extension of WinREG permits the data to be read out.
The data may be filed and stored on the PC from version 1.78
on.
In addition to evaluating with WinREG, the add-on “Storing and
Recording” makes it possible to also use MS Excel as an eval-
uating program.
Note
If the note “DEMO” appears in the lower left-hand cor-
ner of the grid of the regular recorder display, the re-
corder is operating in DEMO mode. In this operation
mode, the recorder only records the measured values
for a period of 4 - 6 hours. After this period, the older val-
ues are replaced by the new ones.

The standard mode is the “MODE ECL”. DCF77 is only selected

if the time is to be synchronized via DCF77.
If the information of the E-LANs (LAN-L, LAN-R) is to be rerout-
ed to the serial interface, for example, to realize modem trans-
missions on the “E-LAN level”, the regulator must be set to
LAN-L or LAN-R. A more detailed description has been delib-
erately left out here since these types of connections should al-
REG - DA
ways be realized with the support of our company A. Eberle
GmbH & Co. KG.
“PROFESSIONAL” is always the right setting for the COM,
when a PROFIBUS-DP connection is to be realized.
In this case, an external PROFIBUS-DP module is controlled via
COM 1 or COM 2.
The setting ECL+HP enables output which is generated via a
background program to also be output via COM 2.
Example:
Based on the regulated voltage or the tap-changer position, a
specific text is to be output via COM 2. In this case, ECL+HP is
to be selected, since all output which is generated via a back-
ground program is normally output via COM 1.

6.3 E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)
For background information on the "E-LAN", please refer to
page 180 and 32.
Every regulator has two complete E-LAN interfaces.
E-LAN LEFT defines the settings for bus-left (connection level
III, terminals 9, 10, 11 and 12).
E-LAN RIGHT defines the settings for bus-right (connection
level III, terminals 13, 14, 15 and 16).
Each one of these E-LAN interfaces also functions with either a
2-conductor line or 4-conductor transmission technology
(RS485).
Level III
BUS-L BUS-R Function 2 conductors 4 conductors
terminal terminal
12 16 EA+ Input and Output "+"
output "+"
11 15 EA- Input and Output "-"
output "-"
10 14 E+ No function Input "+"
9 13 E- No function Input "-"
A 2-conductor line is normally used, because this is the only

system that allows one bus configuration with several partici-
pants on the same bus line. To do so, the integrated matching
resistor of the first and the last participants on the bus line must
be switched on. (Select: “TERMINATION”)
Adequate functioning of the bus would be impossible without a
matching resistor due to the reflections which would then ap-
pear on the end of each line.
In the case of long transmission distances or if boosters (ampli-
fiers for increasing the signal level for very long transmission dis-
tances) have to be used, it is indispensable to work with the 4-
conductor transmission technology which automatically acti-
vates the required matching resistors (it is no longer necessary
to select "TERMINATION").

The PAN-D monitoring unit is not equipped for entering the pa-
rameters via the screen and keypad.
If a PAN-D monitoring unit is used in connection with a REG-DA
voltage regulator connected via E-LAN, the monitoring unit
“borrows” the keypad and the screen from the regulator for pa-
rameterizing and displaying values.
Use the F4 key to start this process.
6.5 Status
(Actual ID Data of the REG-DA Voltage Regu-
lator)
The menu item "Status" lists all of the information which is im-
portant for identifying the system.
In addition to the firmware version and the status of the battery,
etc., the actual input status of both input circuits is monitored
as a hexadecimal number in the REG-DA Status (1).
This information is particularly useful for commissioning.

The input status shown above would be displayed in the status
as HEX AF7D.
During the initial commissioning of the regulator, this enables
clarification as to whether or not a signal has been sent to the
terminals.

All important events are stored in the log together with the re-
spective time and date.
Altogether up to 127 events can be stored. The LOG memory
is always rotating (FIFO), i.e. the oldest entry (the 127th) is de-
leted in favour of the newest event.
The following events are stored together with their respective

time and date and the information regarding when the event
comes and goes:

The U-LL voltage always corresponds to the phase-to-phase

voltage (delta voltage).

REG - DA
Example:
The setpoint value is to amount to 100.2 V. At the same time,
this value is to be declared as the 100% value.
How to proceed: Set the value underlined twice to
100.2 V by means of the keys F1, F2,
F3 and F4.
Use key 3 to declare the value
100.2 V as the 100% value and
confirm by pressing the
“RETURN” key.

Proceed accordingly with the 3rd and 4th setpoint values.
When switching from one setpoint value to another, tap-chang-

ing commands will also be output at the same time until the
voltage lies within the tolerance band around the new setpoint
value. The temporal interval between two successive tap-
changes is determined by the “maximum time tap-changer in
operation” (SETUP 5, add-on 1).
If the regulation is being operated on the PAN-D voltage moni-
toring unit, the setting must always be executed directly on the
PAN-D when both units are connected via E-LAN.

If values exist for the inductive and resistive voltage drop from
the feeding point to the load point, the resistances (R and X) can
be calculated using a simple mathematic equation.
Divide the voltages by 10 and enter the resulting values as the
resistances R and X.
Example: Ux = 12 V
Ur = 25 V
Thus: X = 1.2 ohms

R = 2.5 ohms

7.14.2 Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation
(running time of the motor drive)
The regulator can be used to monitor the running time of the
motor drive (tap-changer). If the set maximum time has run out,
a signal will be triggered. This signal can be used to switch off
the motor drive. This protects the tap-changer against passing
through all cycles.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is used, the maximum time
of the tap-changer in operation can only be set via the PAN-D
voltage monitoring unit (refer to the PAN-D operating manual).
For operation without PAN-D, the running time can be moni-
tored via the regulator. To do this, please first enter the maxi-
mum running time of the tap-changer per tap in “Add-on 1”.
Then, in a second step, the tap-changer in operation signal can
be assigned to an input (refer to the input assignments (binary
inputs) on page 95).
Finally, the message “tap-changer interrupted” can be output
via a relay output (refer to the relay assignments on page 96).
There are two ways to parameterize the relay:
1. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F” outputs a
permanent message when the given maximum time is exceed-
ed.
2. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F+” outputs a
temporary message when the given maximum time is exceed-
ed.

Switching Behaviour: Flip/Flop

In the position “E5: IMPULSE“, an impulse at the input E5
causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”,
whereas a further impulse at this input would cause a change-
over back from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL”. In other words,
each impulse causes the operation mode to be changed.
Switching Behaviour: Bi-stable
In the position “E5:A/E6:H”, an impulse or a permanent signal
at input E5 causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTO-
MATIC”, whereas further signals have no effect on the opera-
tion mode, e.g. the regulator retains the operation mode
“AUTOMATIC”.
The changeover from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL” is carried
out via an impulse or a permanent signal at input E6. Further
signals do not change the operation mode, e.g. the regulator
retains the operation mode “MANUAL”.

OFF
“OFF” is selected if no signals are available for displaying the
tap-changer position.
In the regulator mode, the monitor displays two hyphens “--”.
ON
If BCD-codified signals are available for displaying the tap-
changer position, please select the position “ON”.
In the regulator mode, the display shows the tap-changer posi-
tion.
If “ON” is selected, but no BCD signal is linked, the display will
show “0”.
Note
In case of an error (BCD signals are available and the
tap-changer parameter is set to “ON”), please check the
connections and the selected “input assignment”.
Please also observe that the regulator automatically checks the

correctness of the tap-changer position.
However, this is only possible if the tap-changer has been
switched on (SETUP 5, Add-on 1).
TapErr will be activated if an illogical tap-change is signalled.
Due to the fact that it is not essential that the tap-change is cor-
rectly displayed when individual transformers are being regulat-
ed, TapErr is only intended to be informative.
However, it the TapErr signal is related to a relay which has set
the regulator to the manual mode, regulation could be interrupt-
ed when a tap error is detected.
Further information can be found on page 137 and 203.

WITH
“WITH” stores the operation mode of the regulator in the event
t that the auxiliary voltage fails. This means that after the voltage
returns, the regulator will be reset to “AUTOMATIC” again pro-
viding that the RE G -DA was in the “AUTOMATIC” operation
mode before the voltage failure. In the same manner, the regu-
lator will return to the “MANUAL” operation mode if it was set to
“MANUAL” before the voltage drop.
WITHOUT
“WITHOUT” does not store the operation mode of the regulator
in the event of possible voltage drops. This means that the reg-
ulator will always be in the “MANUAL” operation mode after the
voltage return.

7.14.10 Activation of the Parallel Program

The parallel program may be activated either via the menu with
“ON” or via a binary signal.
“LEVEL” ensures that the program remains activated as long
as the signal level is sent to the selected input.
“IMPULSE” switches the activation ON or OFF respectively.
The type of parallel program activation described in Section
7.14.10 represents the simplest type of activation, which, how-
ever, usually cannot meet the requirements of actual use. For
this reason, we request that you refer to the information in
Chapter 9.

As soon as the regulator transmits a tap-changing signal, the

switch-on time of the tap-changing impulse amounts to 2s as
standard.
Older motor drives in particular often need a longer switch-on
time.
This menu feature can be used to set the switch-on time for
higher and lower impulses from 0.5 s to 6 s in increments of
0.1 s.

If a user registers an E-LAN error, the respective regulator will

change its operation mode from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL”,
provided that the operation AUTO(MATIC) LOCK in Event
of E-LAN error is activated.
It is not possible to reset the operation mode to “AUTOMATIC”

7.15 Transformer Mounting (Data)
This menu is used to specify between which external conduc-
tors the measuring voltage is to be measured which will be used
by the regulator as the regulating variable.
If the value of the undervoltage of the transformer (voltage on
the primary side of the measuring transformer) is to be dis-
played, it is indispensable to specify the ratio of the voltage
transformer via the menu item Knu.
Example:
100 kV / 100 V → Knu = 100
600 A / 1 A → Kni = 600

7.15.1 Transformer-Mounting Voltage

(Conductor Connection)
For application of the REG-DA voltage regulator it is not neces-
sary - in terms of the hardware - to assign the voltage and cur-
rent connections to a certain position in the network (for
example, U12 and L13, etc.). If the actual connection is trans-
mitted to the SETUP, the regulator will always measure the cor-
rect angle reference regardless of the external conductors
between which the voltage is measured and the line in which
the current is measured.
Note
Please observe that when the control voltage is derived
from a phase voltage (e.g. UL1-N) and the selected con-
nector (UL1) has a high-resistant earth connection, the
regulator will be offered a voltage which will cause the
regulator to make tap-changes in the direction of a high-
er voltage.
This condition must be particularly taken into consider-
ation when operating a compensated network.

REG - DA
If the regulator is connected to an asymmetrically loaded net-
work and correct measured values are still needed for both the
active and the reactive power, the regulator may also operate in
the Aron circuit (feature M2).
In order to do so, both the parameterization (transformer
mounting, voltage and current set to "ARON") and the connec-
tion must be carried out in the correct manner.
Please observe the following connection diagram.
The following is valid for the Aron circuit:

8 Measured Value Simulation
In order to avoid that the simulator switches on coincidentally,

some steps are required to guarantee that the simulated volt-
age is only applied when it is specifically desired.
Required steps:
1 Start WinREG.
2 Poll the terminal.
3 After pressing Enter, the device will respond by giving the
respective address, e.g. <A>.
4 In step 4 you can select one of the following options:
a Characteristic simmode=1
(enter it in this manner via the terminal!)
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5.
In this mode, the simulator can only operate in the MANU-
AL operation mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC switches off the
simulator.
b Characteristic simmode=2
(enter it in this manner via the terminal!)
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5. In this mode, the simulator can also op-
erate in the AUTOMATIC operation mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC does not switch
off the simulator.
c Characteristic simmode=0
(enter it in this manner via the terminal!))
switches off the simulator.
The simulator can no longer be switched on in SETUP 6,
F5.
On delivery, the simulator mode (simmode=1) is activated,

which only permits simulator operation in the MANUAL opera-
tion mode.

9 Parallel Operation of Transformers
with REGSys™
Parallel switching of several transformers must be prepared in

advance. First of all, the taps must be adjusted to each other
and the circuit-breakers and disconnectors have to be put in
the corresponding position. Then, all of the regulators switched
in parallel must be informed of these switching statuses.
The REG-DA voltage regulator is provided with a program sec-
tion which is capable of recognizing the switching statuses of
the individual transformers and can automatically group the
transformers on the basis of these switching statuses so that
only those regulators feeding on one joint busbar work togeth-
er.
It is, of course, also possible to work in the standard way in
which the parallel switching operation is manually activated.
Both procedures require that specific preparations are carried
out on the device in advance. The preparations to be carried
out are described in the following sections:
➪ Preparing manual activation
➪ Preparing automatic activation
Before selecting the regulation procedure, please check the

conditions of the regulation.
Are the transformers of the same or of a different type? Is it
possible to connect the individual regulators with each other
via E-LAN, or is the distance between each feeding point
too long making connection impossible?
Should the transformers all have the same tap-changer po-

sition or should the reactive circulating current be mini-
mized?
Please select the corresponding procedure listed below ac-
cording to each answer:

REG - DA
All of the listed regulation procedures are standardly imple-
mented in the regulator.
Master-Slave
Master-Follower
∆I sinϕ (minimization of the reactive circulating current)
∆I sinϕ (S) (minimization of the reactive circulating current taking
the nominal powers of the transformers into consideration)
∆ cosϕ
The ∆ cosϕ operation is a further regulation procedure which is
generally used if the regulators switched in parallel cannot be
connected to each other via the bus (E-LAN).
If a bus error occurs during the parallel operation according to

the reactive circulating current minimization procedure (∆I sin ϕ
or ∆I sin ϕ (S)), the complete combination switches to an emer-
gency regulation which also works according to the ∆cos ϕ pro-
cedure.
In case of a malfunction, each regulator uses the last measured
cos ϕ and attempts to maintain the voltage within the regulative
deviation (bandwidth). Each regulator also attempts to ap-
proach the set setpoint value of the cos ϕ as closely as possi-
ble.

with the most important connections. The principle is valid for
three or more transformers as well.
Please observe that the voltage and current transformers do
not have to be connected in the shown manner. Every possible
type of connection can be carried out. However, it is important
to ensure that the transformer configuration or switching status
for carrying out measurements has been entered in SETUP 5,

9.2 Programs for Parallel Operation and their
Preconditions
Caution!
Please note that only regulators with the same firmware
version can be operated in parallel.
Otherwise, malfunctions may occur during operation.
The current firmware version can be polled on the regu-
lator's keypad.
Please press the “menu key” until you have reached
SETUP 6. The F5 key can be used to select the status
section of the regulator. The current status can be
polled in line 1 (for example, V2.00).
If different versions are loaded, please download the

current firmware version from our homepage (www.a-
eberle.de or www.regsys.de) or contact us.
9.2.1 Preparation
The following description defines both the preparations to be
carried out for manual activation as well as those necessary for
automatic activation.
For demonstrating each individual operating step, a system has
been selected which consists of three transformers feeding on
one busbar.
The operation master-follower is chosen as the parallel pro-
gram.
If another program with a deviating number of transformers is se-
lected, please adapt each operating step correspondingly.
In order to permit the master to check at any time whether the
slaves are working correctly, it is necessary to supply each reg-
ulator with the tap-changer position of “its” transformer and to
activate the bus connection between all regulators (E-LAN) in
advance.

REG - DA
Preparing manual activation
'Preparing manual activation' refers to the temporal sequence
of switching operations which prepare the parallel operation of
several transformers (adjusting the tap-changer position, add-
ing circuit-breakers, disconnectors and couplings) as well as
the actual manual activation of the parallel regulation.
In this case, parallel regulation is activated either via a binary
signal to one regulator or several regulators or via the menu
(SETUP 5, add-on-6).
Preparing automatic activation

'Preparing automatic activation' refers to the simultaneous and
automatic activation of the parallel operation of several trans-
formers as a function of the logical position (off/on) of all of the
circuit-breakers, disconnectors and couplings.
This type of preparation can be carried out by feeding a busbar
replica (positions of the circuit-breakers, disconnectors, bus
ties and bus couplings) to each one of the regulators involved
in the regulation.
On the basis of the switching status, the regulation system can
automatically recognize which transformer is supposed to work
with which other(s) transformer(s) on one busbar in parallel op-
eration.
The transformers are then regulated according to the selected
regulating procedure.

REG - DA
9.2.2 Preparing Manual Activation
The following steps are required to switch three transformers in
parallel according to the master-follower procedure.
If only two transformers or even four transformers are required,
please adapt the procedure correspondingly.
Note
In this chapter parameterization will be carried out with

individual operation steps may also be performed with
the Parameterization Software WinREG.
Step 1
Switch all regulators to the MANUAL mode.
Step 2
Assign user identification.
The regulator assigned to transformer 1 is given the station

code (address) < A >, the regulator assigned to transformer 2
is given the station code (address) , and the regulator as-
signed to transformer 3 is given the station code < C >.

If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is to be assigned to a reg-
ulator, the regulator will automatically assign a code to its cor-
responding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-D regulator increments its own

address (by one!) and assigns it to the PAN-D.
Example:
If the regulator has the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1>
to the PAN-D. If the regulator has the code <B9>, PAN-D will
be assigned the code <C>.
Step 3
Establish the connection to the bus.
To start the parallel operation, all participating regulators must

be able to communicate with each other via E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)
is carried out line-to-line or in the standard bus structure.
As soon as the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled, the bus link
must be parameterized (see “E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Net-
work)” on page 59).

Select “ON”.
As long as the “Parallel Progr.Activation” is “ON”, parallel
switching will be active in the automatic mode.
If you prefer to activate the parallel switching operation via a bi-

nary input instead of via the menu, the regulator offers two op-
tions.
It is possible to either activate the parallel switching operation
level-controlled or via an impulse-controlled input.

REG - DA
“Level-controlled activation” means that the parallel switching
operation is activated as long as the potential is at the selected
input. It will be switched off as soon as the potential at the se-
lected input drops off.
In the case of the “impulse-controlled” activation, the parallel
switching operation is switched on by the first impulse. It is then
switched off again by the following impulse, and so on.
In such cases, please proceed as shown below:
Select the trigger input.
All freely programmable inputs with the exception of E5 and E6

may be used as the trigger or release input.

If the parallel switching operation is to be activated or deactivat-
ed via level-controlled or impulse-controlled inputs, please se-
lect the preferred activation method (level or impulse) in SETUP
5, F1, add-on-6 by means of the F2 key.
Step 7
Switch circuit-breakers, bus ties, bus couplings and discon-

nectors according to the measures of the planned parallel
switching operation.
Step 8
Switch all of the regulators to the AUTO mode.
The master first sets all of the slaves to its actual tap-changer
position in order to start the voltage regulation.
In regular operation, the voltage is held within the permissible
regulative deviation (bandwidth) and all transformers involved
are regulated to the same tap-changer position.

REG - DA
9.2.3 Preparing Automatic Activation
The PARAGRAMER has been added to the start menu as a tool
for preparing the automatic activation and for visualizing the
switching status on-line.
The artificial word PARAGRAMER is basically derived from the

terms parallel and one-line diagram.
The PARAGRAMER displays the switching status of the individ-

ual transformers in a one-line diagram and can be polled in the
start menu via the F5 key, provided that the feature PARA-
GRAMER has been activated.
Standardly, up to six transformers can be operated via the

PARAGRAMER. In a special version, however, up to 10 trans-
formers can be connected.
The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica

(circuit-breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) of
“its” transformer into each regulator.
On the basis of the switching status, the regulation system can
automatically recognize which transformer is to work with
which other(s) transformer(s) on a busbar in parallel operation.
The system treats busbars connected via bus couplings as one

single busbar.
In the standard version, the PARAGRAMER can display the fol-

lowing configurations
➪ 2 transformers with one busbar
(1 circuit-breaker per transformer)
Note
= Switching element
open
= Switching element
closed

REG - DA
➪ 3 transformers with one busbar
(1 circuit-breaker per transformer)
➪ 2 transformers with two busbars

(1 circuit-breaker and 2 disconnectors per transformer)
➪ 3 transformers with two busbars

(1 circuit-breaker, 2 disconnectors per transformer)

REG - DA
Busbars “1” and “2” can additionally be disconnected or cou-
pled by means of bus ties or bus couplings.
The logical status of the couplings may also be fed to the regu-
lator and is included in the assignment algorithm (who with
whom?).
The following abbreviated terms have been selected to clearly

characterize each individual switch, disconnector, etc.:
The prefix PG stands for PARAGRAMER. All of the other abbre-

viated terms are listed below:
❑ PG_LS:
Acknowledgement of the circuit-breaker (German: Leis-
tungsschalter) of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_TRa:
Acknowledgement of the disconnector (German: Trenner) of
the corresponding transformer to busbar 1
❑ PG_TRb:
Acknowledgement of the disconnector (German: Trenner) of
the corresponding transformer to busbar 2
❑ PG_QK:
Acknowledgement of the bus coupling (German: Querkup-
plung) of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_LKra:
Acknowledgement of the bus tie (German: Längskupplung
rechts) of the corresponding transformer in busbar 1
❑ PG_LKrb:
Acknowledgement of the bus tie (German: Längskupplung
rechts) of the corresponding transformer in busbar 2

REG - DA
Step 1
Switch all regulators to the MANUAL operation mode.
Step 2

Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-on 6, F5 and switch on the

PARAGRAMER activity.

Step 3
Assign user identification.
The regulator assigned to transformer 1 is given the station

code (address) < A >, the regulator assigned to transformer 2
is given the station code (address) , and the regulator as-
signed to transformer 3 is given the station code < C >.

This address may be incremented via the F1 and F2 keys or
decremented via the F4 and F5 keys.
Each address within the range A ... Z4 is permitted, but may
only be assigned once.
If a PAN - D voltage monitoring unit is to be assigned to a reg-
ulator, the regulator will automatically assign a code to its cor-
responding PAN - D.
To assign this address, the REG - DA voltage regulator incre-
ments its own address (by one!) and assigns it to the PAN - D.
Example:
If the regulator has the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1>
to the PAN - D. If the regulator has the code <B5>,
PAN - D will be assigned the code <B6>.
Step 4
Establish the link to the bus.
In order to start the parallel operation, all regulators involved in

this parallel operation must be able to communicate with each
other by means of the E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)

is carried out line-to-line or in the standard bus structure.
As soon as the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled, the bus link
must be parameterized (see “E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Net-
work)” on page 59).
Step 5
Parameterization of the group list.
The number of transformers (n=3) participating in this parallel

operation is specified by inputting the group list.
The group list is numbered consecutively and must be param-

eterized in the same sequence for each regulator. The regulator

REG - DA
of the first transformer must be at the first position in the group
list, the regulator of the second transformer must be in the sec-
ond position, etc. As already mentioned above, the ID of the
regulators may be selected freely. For clarity, however, the first
voltage regulator should be assigned code A:, regulator 2 code
B:, etc.
The group list also indicates the number of transformers shown
in the PARAGRAMER mode (second position in the group list
=> 2 transformers, third position => 3 transformers, etc.).
The group list also indicates which regulators are presently

working together:
To characterize the transformers operating in parallel, three
symbols have been introduced (+,*,=), which appear before the
group list entry. Regulators with the same symbols are present-
ly feeding on one busbar.
The following procedure is to be applied for each regulator:
Setup 1, =>
<F5> "Programs", =>
<F1> "Par. Parameters", =>
<F5> "E-LAN group list", => enter the participants

This setting is only required for the master - usually with the ad-
dress <A>, because all of the other participants will automati-
cally be declared as followers when the group list is input (refer
to Step 5).
Followers are to be assigned the parallel program ''none''.
.
Step 7
Input assignments
The individual programmable binary regulator inputs are pre-

pared for their respective tasks in this step.
If, for instance, the disconnector PG_TRa of transformer 1 is to
be assigned to the regulator input E8, it will be necessary to as-
sign the function PG_TRa to the input E 8 in menu SETUP 5, F3
“Input assignments...” by means of the function keys.
This same procedure applies for all of the other inputs/signals
as well.

REG - DA
Depending on the input assignment, the display can show one
or two busbars.
The following input functions are available:

❑ PG_LS:
Acknowledgement of the circuit-breaker of the correspond-
ing transformer
❑ PG_TR1:
Acknowledgement of the disconnector of the correspond-
ing transformer on busbar 1
❑ PG_TR1:
Acknowledgement of the disconnector of the correspond-
ing transformer on busbar 2
❑ PG_QK:
Bus coupling
❑ PG_LK1:
Right bus tie of the infeed on busbar 1
❑ PG_LK2:
Right bus tie of the infeed on busbar 2
Inputs which are not in use are assigned a default setting. This
makes it possible to also display system diagrams which do not
correspond to the maximum possible configuration with one
circuit-breaker, two disconnectors, one bus coupling and two
bus ties per transformer.
Note
A solution is also available for applications in which the
busbars are coupled crosswise.
The “crosslink” feature makes it easy to master this task.
Since this type of busbar arrangement is not used very
frequently, it is not described here. For further informa-
tion, please contact the headquarters of our company
A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG. Your regulator is already
equipped with this option, which can be activated at any
time via the Feature firmware.

REG - DA
Summary of the default settings:
❑ 1 busbar:
PG_LS: open
PG_TRa: closed, however not displayed in the
PARAGRAMER
❑ 2 busbars:
PG_LS: closed
PG_TRa: open
PG_TRb: open
PG_QK: open
PG_LKra: closed
PG_LKrb: closed
The displays to be shown are changed according to the criteria

listed below:
➪ If the regulator in the third position in the group list is as-
signed a freely selected PG_xxx parameter, three trans-
formers will be displayed in a circuit diagram instead of two.
➪ If either PG_TR1 or PG_TR2 is used on a regulator entered

in the group, two busbars will be displayed in a circuit dia-
gram instead of one.
➪ If either PG_QK, PG_LK1 or PG_LK2 is used on a regulator

entered in the group, the bus ties and bus couplings will be
activated in the display.
Step 8
Displaying the busbar replica
Depending on the parameterized group list, the overview

screen will display two to six regulators. In addition to the PAR-
AGRAMER overview, it is also possible to select a detailed dis-
play.

9.3 Parallel Operation using the “Master-Fol-
lower-Independent (MSI)” Procedure
(available as of Version 2.00 from January 16, 2004)
Note
All of the notes dealing with control technology involving
TapErr and ParErr are, of course, also valid for the mas-
ter-follower procedure applied according to any various
activation procedure.
MSI stands for Master (M), Slave (S) and Independent (I) opera-
tion of individual transformers.
In this operation mode, all of the transformers switched in par-
allel are placed by the operator in one of states described
above.
Transformers switched in parallel then always work according
to the principle that all of the transformers are set to the same
tap-changer position, which is also called the master-follower
procedure.
Note
In the following − as is usually the case in general lan-
guage usage − the terms master-follower and master-
slave are used synonymously.
In the MSI mode, it is only possible to change the operation

mode (MANUAL/AUTO) in the manual mode.
In the independent mode, on the other hand, each regulator
can be switched back and forth from MANUAL to AUTO at any
time.
When the transformers are already switched in parallel, it is pos-
sible to switch from the AUTO mode to the MANUAL mode by
switching any regulator to the MANUAL mode.
In the event of a fault, this ensures that the entire group can
quickly be switched to the MANUAL mode.
In the Auto mode, the group can only then be switched if the
master is switched to the AUTO mode; the slaves will not accept
being switched from MANUAL to AUTO.
The status line of the paragramer display indicates which regu-
lator is currently functioning as the master.

REG - DA
It is also possible to signalize the status via LEDs.
If a particular LED (SETUP 5, F5) is assigned to the MSI_Ma pa-
rameter, it will only be activated when the regulator is working
in the master mode.The same procedure applies if the system
is working according to either the slave procedure (MSI_Sl) or
the independent procedure (MSI_Ind).
The current parameterization can also be displayed in the Par-
aGramer by designating the individual transformers with the let-
ters M, S and I.
All of the transformers/regulators working as either master or
slave are displayed with a closed coupling. Regulators working
in the independent mode (currently feeding on a different bus-
bar or in the stand-by mode), on the other hand, are displayed
with an opened coupling.

If more than one regulator has been mistakenly assigned to the

master mode, the MSI algorithm will treat the regulator with the
lowest address (A is lower than B or C!) as the “master” and will
treat all of the other regulators mistakenly defined as being
masters as slaves.
Together with the information regarding “Who with whom?”,

the ParaGramer display will also show the current status of the
parallel operation in the status line in the form of the measured
voltage, the calculated regulative deviation and the tap-changer
position.
This makes it possible to attain all of the information needed to

evaluate the parallel operation.

REG - DA
Prerequisite for using the MSI procedure
The MSI operation mode can only be assigned if the PARA-
GRAMER feature has also been activated and the Paragramer
has been switched on.
Regulators which were delivered with the feature K1 (with par-
allel operation) have already been parameterized in this way as
a default setting.
The Paragramer is switched on by selecting the SETUP 5, Add-

on 6.
The F5 key is used to specify the number of transformers to be
switched in parallel.
Example:
For a group of three transformers, the Paragramer must be set
to ON-3.
The MSI operation mode can be selected by choosing the MSI
operation mode in SETUP 1, Programs..., Parallel Program.
Caution!
The MSI operation mode must be selected for each in-
dividual regulator involved in the parallel switching oper-
ation.
If the feature K1 and, therefore, also the Paragramer, are to be

enabled at a later date, we advise contacting the headquarters
of our company A. Eberle.
For controlling the current settings, please select

SETUP 6, F5 (Status), --> on the 2nd page of the device status.

Note
Several features, e.g. RECORDER, TMM 01/02 can, of
course, also be loaded at the same time.
Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure:

Only those types of transformers are suitable for operation us-
ing the MSI procedure which are identical both in terms of the
electrical features (output, short-circuit voltage, voltage be-
tween the tap-changer positions, switching groups, etc.) as
well as in terms of the mechanic features (number of tap-
changer positions, position of the deadband).
If one or more of the parameters differ, a different procedure
should be used.
In addition, it must be ensured that each regulator receives the
information regarding the tap-changer position of “its” trans-
former.
For operation using the master-follower procedure, it is manda-
tory that the correct tap-changer position is recorded and
transmitted to the respective regulators.
In order to notify the system of the number of regulators/trans-
formers to be switched in parallel, every potential “candidate”
must be listed in the group list together with its address.
Please select the sub-menu “Parallel Parameters” in

SETUP 1.
The path:
SETUP 1 / Programs... (F5) / „Par. Parameters“ (F1)
The group list must be set up in the menu “Par. Parameters“.
In the first group position of the list, please select the regulator
with the lowest address by pressing the F1 key. Then place the
regulator with the next highest address in the second position
in the list.
Continue in the same manner for all of the regulators currently
involved in the parallel switching operation as well as for all of
the regulators which are to be later involved in the parallel
switching operation.

Selecting the operation modes

Three different methods can be used to select operation
modes.
1. via the binary input
2. via the membrane keypad (F3 … F5)
3. via I&C (serial)
Method 1:
Select three free inputs per regulator and assign them the func-
tion Master (MSI_Ma), Slave (MSI_Sl) or Independent (MSI_Ind)
respectively via SETUP 5, F3 or with the help of WinREG.
Example:
You want to make it possible to select the operation mode via
the inputs E9 to E11.
The following will be displayed in SETUP 5, F3:

=#!
//"#J#
;<
=j

;< =j

;< =j=#

;<YY

If a signal is transmitted to input E-9, the regulator will conse-

quently work as the master.
The current status is indicated by an X in square brackets.

Information “i” regarding effective manoeuvring on the screen
can be found by pressing the F2 key.
Note
If a specific mode is pre-selected via the binary input
and the signal has been sent to the input, the mode can
not be overwrittten via the keypad.
The mode assigned to the input to which a signal was
last sent is always automatically pre-selected. Since the
inputs are triggered via the edge of the input signal, one
short impulse is sufficient to select the operation mode.

REG - DA
Method 3:
Selection of the individual regulators is carried out via a serial in-
terface (IEC…, DNP 3.0, MODBUS, SPA-Bus; via LWL or cop-
per).
A further prerequisite for fault-free operation is that all of the

regulators have the same parameterization.
For this reason, different parameters must be set in the SETUPs
1 and 5.
Since the slaves in the master-follower procedure are only al-
lowed to have limited freedom of action, changes in the para-
meters must be carried out in either the independent mode or
the master mode.
For this reason, the parameterization should already have been
completed in SETUP 5 before commencing work in SETUP 1.
Please note:
First SETUP 5, then SETUP 1
Select SETUP 5, F1…, (Add-on 6).

The indication “1st ParErr after n tap-changer in operation time”
can be interpreted as follows.
If a parallel switching operation with n participants has already
been activated, the system automatically assumes that all of the
transformers will have the same tap-changer position at the lat-
est within an interval which is 1.5 x tap-changer in operation
time.
If there is an error in the transmission of the BCD code or if there
are problems regarding switching to the same tap-changer po-
sition, a tap-changer position error (TapErr) will be recognized
which will then cause the system to stop.
However, if a transformer, which, for example, has been feed-
ing another busbar or has been working in the stand-by mode,
is selected to participate in the parallel switching operation, this
parameter can be used to specify the number of tap-changes
with which it is allowed to deviate from the other transformers
switched in parallel.
Without interrupting regulation, this transformer is then brought
to the same tap-changer position as the other transformers
switched in parallel one tap at a time.
If the tap-changer position deviation is not correctly compen-
sated for within the pre-selected time, the parallel switching op-
eration will be stopped and all of the regulators involved in the
parallel switching will be switched to MANUAL.
Example:
The transformer/regulator <D> to be added to the parallel
switching operation is currently set to the resting position in tap-
changer position 4.
The group switched in parallel is currently working in tap-
changer position 8 and the runtime of the motor between two
tap-changer positions is 7 seconds.
If you want to add the transformer assigned to the regulator
with the designation <D> to the group switched in parallel -
without regard to the resulting circulating reactive currents - the
parameter “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time”
must be set to 4.
The monitoring algorithm of the parallel program will wait an in-
terval of 4 times the tap-changer in operation time (4 x 7 sec-
onds = 28 seconds) of the transformer added to the parallel
switching operation before a parallel error (ParErr) is triggered.

REG - DA
Under normal conditions, the new participant can be “brought”
to the tap-changer position of the group within this specified in-
terval.
If this is not possible, the error flag ParErr will be set and the en-
tire group will be switched to the MANUAL mode.
The MANUAL operation mode is the fail-safe position for all of

the master-follower procedures.
After the error which triggered the ParErr has been rectified, the
group can than be switched back to the AUTO mode via the
master.
The number of transformers/regulators involved in the parallel

switching operation can be selected with the help of the “Para-
Gramer Activity” parameter.
Example:
If three transformers/regulators are to be switched in parallel,
the F5 key
“Paragramer Activity” 3
must be selected.
Settings in SETUP 1
Several settings must be carried out in Setup 1.
Under normal conditions − all of the transformers are the same
− the settings should all be the same for both the “permissible
regulative deviation” (F1), the “time factor” (F2) and the “setpoint
value” (F3).
However, if you prefer to have different setpoint values activat-
ed when changing masters, different setpoint values can also
be specified.
During the parallel switching operation, only the setpoint value
parameterized in the currently active master will be taken into
account.

REG - DA
Different setpoint values can, of course, also be selected even
if the setpoint values originally had the same parameterization.
To do this, the setpoint value of the active master is changed
either via the binary input, via the program or via the serial inter-
face.
Select SETUP 1, F5 (Programs).

Please use the F2 key to select the parallel program “MSI”:
All of the preparations necessary for the parallel switching op-

eration have now been carried out. Proceed in the MANUAL
mode by changing the settings of the transformers until the volt-
age is outside of the tolerance band. Then switch to the AUTO
mode to control whether or not the parallel switching operation
is functioning properly.
It will only function properly if the voltage returns to the toler-
ance band within a short period of time and all of the transform-
ers are set to the same tap-changer position.
We recommend carrying out this test for both positive as well
as negative regulative deviations.

REG - DA
9.3.1 Trouble-shooting
Parallel switching operations carried out according to the mas-
ter-follower procedure can only function properly, if - in addition
to the correct functioning of the regulators involved in the par-
allel switching operation - the infrastructure (recording and sig-
nalling of the tap-changer position, bus connection) are also
functioning fault-free.
To ensure that errors that could occur outside of the regulators
do not cause problems for maintaining the voltage, the two er-
ror flags, ParErr and TapErr, have been introduced to monitor
the tap-changer position recording on the one hand and the
bus connection on the other hand.
9.3.1.1 Description of the Error Flags ParErr and TapErr

The error bits ParErr and TapErr signalize faulty parallel opera-
tion.
ParErr
ParrErr generally stands for faulty parallel operation (parallel er-
ror) and automatically switches a group of transformers operat-
ing in parallel from the AUTOMATIC operation mode to the
MANUAL operation mode.
If this behaviour is not desired, a different type of behaviour can
be selected via the SysCtrl feature. In this case we request that
you contact the headquarters of our company A. Eberle.
ParErr is triggered, for example, when the regulator is bypassed
when tap-changer regulation is carried out (the tap-changer
position is set directly at the motor drive or via the “remote con-
trolled bypass”) and the transformers are not all set to the same
tap-changer position within an interval that is 1.5 times the tap-
change in operation time.
Exception: If a transformer is added to the parallel switching op-

eration that has a specific tap-changer position deviation (inde-
pendent becomes slave), ParErr is not triggered until the interval
specified in
SETUP 5, Add-on 6
“1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time” has been ex-
ceeded.

REG - DA
TapErr
TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-
changer position. The designation is derived from the term
“tap error”.
LIke ParErr, TapErr affects the entire group when in the MSI op-
eration mode.
If a transformer is being switched in parallel, regulation will stop
after 1.5 times the tap-changer in operation time if the tap-
changer positions are not set to the same positions for all of the
transformers within this time period.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or
a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position check-back signal making it easier to rectify the error.
The following are considered to be tap errors:

1. Increment in the wrong direction
Example: The regulator outputs a “raise” command and the

transformer reacts with a lower tap-change or the regulator out-
puts a “lower” command and the transformer reacts with a
higher tap-change.
Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have
been confused or the motor drive is behaving inversely.
Inverse behaviour implies that the regulator increases the ratio
in the event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is to be expected that an increase in the tap-
changer position results in a higher voltage, whereas a de-
crease in the tap-changer position results in a lower voltage.
Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals
2. No increment
Example:
The regulator outputs a command, but the tap-changer posi-
tion does not change.

REG - DA
In this case, it must be assumed that either the position check-
back signal or the motor drive is defective.
3. Illogical tap-changes
If the next higher or lower tap-changer position is not signalled

after the tap-changer position has been raised or lowered, the
regulator interprets the position check-back signal as being de-
fective and sets the error flag TapErr.
As mentioned above, we recommend assigning the error bit
TapErr to a LED and/or a relay to inform the operating person-
nel about the status of the position check-back signal making it
easier to rectify the error.
Tap limitation
If the tap is to be limited from either above or below, please en-
ter the following background program lines via the WinREG ter-
minal program:
H 7='RegStufe-,Lower tap limitation,<=,if,RegSperreT =3,

else,RegSperreT =0' ((RegStufe = RegTap, RegSperre = Reg
Lock))
H 8='RegStufe-,Upper tap limitation,>=,if,RegSperreH =3,

else,RegSperreH =0' ((RegStufe = RegTap, RegSperre = Reg
Lock))
In place of the “Upper tap limitation“, enter the upper tap limita-
tion (UTCL) accepted by you and in place of the “Lower tap lim-
itation“ (LTCL), the lower tap limitation accepted by you.

11.4 Replacing the Device
If a REG-DA voltage regulator must be replaced, the device
must first be disassembled.
If the device is defective, we recommend sending it to the head-
quarters of our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG together
with a short description of the error.
A hexagon key is provided to facilitate disassembly. It is used to
unscrew the flange plate on the bottom of the device.
After removing the four screws, the flange plate can be shifted
approximately 5 mm to the left, so that the entire wiring includ-
ing the plug-in blocks may be removed by pulling them down
out of the device.
A replacement device can then replace the defective one and
can be put into operation within a few minutes.

REG - DA
12 Information on Storage
The devices are to be stored in clean, dry rooms. The devices

and their respective replacement modules are to be stored
within the temperature range of -25 °C to+65 °C.
The relative humidity must not lead to the formation of either
condensation or ice.
We recommend that a limited storage temperature within the
temperature range of +0 °C and +55 °C be maintained to en-
sure that the applied electrolytic capacitor does not age prema-
turely.
We also recommend that the device be connected to an auxil-
iary voltage every two years to form the applied electrolytic ca-
pacitors. This procedure should also be carried out before the
device is put into operation. In the case of extreme climatic con-
ditions (tropics), this also simultaneously ensures “pre-heating”
and helps to avoid the formation of moisture condensation.
The device should be stored in the service room for at least two
hours prior to being connected to the voltage for the first time
to create a temperature balance and to avoid the formation of
moisture and moisture condensation.

REG - DA
13 Background Information
13.1 Regulator Mode

To maintain a constant line voltage, the REG - DA continuously
compares the command variable W and the actual value X of
the line voltage. The command variable W can either be a fixed
value or a variable which is the sum of fixed setpoint values and
the changeable voltage drop on the lines to the consumers.
According to the selected function, the regulator evaluates the
respective difference between the actual value X and the com-
mand variable W (regulative deviation Xw) and adds up the val-
ues until a set integral value is reached. As soon as this integral
value is reached, the integrator is set to zero and a signal (cor-
recting variable) is simultaneously output which controls the
tap-changer (actuator) and thus changes its ratio. This integra-
tion is repeated again after each tap-change.
The REG - DA voltage regulator functions as a three-tap

change regulator with a deadband. If the actual values are with-
in this deadband, no control commands will be output.
The parameters for the time behaviour of the regulator can be

optimally adapted to the dynamic time behaviour of the line volt-
age (controlled system) so that a high degree of control quality
(high voltage constancy) with a low switching frequency can be
achieved and the actuator is not overly stressed.
All of the regulators can control several transformers switched

in parallel on one busbar without requiring further devices. The
transformers are regulated according to a specific algorithm in
such a way that the reactive part of the circulating current is
minimized. This makes it possible to operate transformers with
different capacities and different tap-change voltages switched
in parallel and to regulate their tap-changer positions.

13.2 Command Variable W

The command variable W for the voltage of the tap-changing
transformer may either be a fixed value (setpoint value) or a var-
iable value (setpoint value + variable). A variable command var-
iable W can consist of, for example, the fixed setpoint value and
the share of the voltage drop on one line up to a certain point in
the circuit. This makes it possible to maintain the voltage at this
point in the circuit at a constant level even if the load and the
primary voltage are constantly changing.
13.2.1 Fixed Command Variable

The command variable W is input to the regulator as a setpoint
value of the voltage and remains constant. The regulator main-
tains the voltage at the transformer at the setpoint value inde-
pendent of the primary voltage and the corresponding load
current (the voltage drop on the line).
Adjusting the setpoint value/switching a setpoint value

Up to 4 setpoint values can be pre-selected. If the current set-
point value is to be changed, this change can be carried out on
the regulator either by hand or by switching to another setpoint
value which has already been pre-selected. The previous set-
point value then becomes ineffective.
Switch-over to another setpoint value can be activated either
via an external binary signal or via a background program.

REG - DA
13.2.2 Variable Command Variable
The command variable W for regulating the voltage at a given
position on a line is the sum of a setpoint value XR and the var-
iable value of a correction value Xk.
W [V] = XR [V] + Xk [V]
The correction value Xk takes the data of the assigned line and
load into consideration (voltage drop Uf), so that the voltage at
the given position on the line can be held approximately con-
stant according to the load point (because of the tap-change in-
crements!).
It is assumed that the network is normally loaded symmetrically,
e.g. that the nominal current is approximately the same on each
line. The REG - DA regulator can therefore be connected to the
current transformer of any line (L1, L2, L3).
Measuring the voltage drop Uf on the line

The voltage drop Uf on the line between the transformer and
the consumer is the difference between the r.m.s. values of
both voltages on the busbar and at the load point. The voltage
drop depends on the impedance of the line, the nominal current
and the cos ϕ at the consumer.
The following formula applies for the impedance of a line:
Z = RL + j ω LL + 1 / j ω CL
Measuring the voltage drop Uf as a function of the rated current

When the reactances of the line can be neglected and the
cos ϕ at the consumer remains constant, the voltage drop Uf
can be measured as a function of the nominal current.
Uf = f (I, R)
It is necessary to determine the gradient of the Uf/IL character-

istic taking the prevailing operating conditions into account in
order to correctly measure Uf. For more information on the
“Nominal value of the gradient“, please refer to page 154.
Control variables for Uf
If the cos ϕ at the consumer varies, it is also possible to select
the active component I cos ϕ or the reactive component I sin ϕ

REG - DA
of the current intensity I as the control variable for Uf instead of
selecting the current intensity I itself. To differentiate between
the inductive and the capacitive load, the reactive component
correspondingly has either a positive or negative sign.
Measuring the voltage drop Uf as a function of the current intensity and

the cos ϕ
(LDC = line drop compensation)
If the reactances of the line cannot be neglected and the cos ϕ
at the consumer is not constant, the following formula l applies
for measuring Uf:
Uf = (R + j XL) ⋅ (I cos ϕ2 - j I sin ϕ2) = R I (cos ϕ2 - j sin ϕ2) + XL

I (sin ϕ2 + j cos ϕ2)
By inputting the values for R and XL, a replica of the line is es-
tablished in the regulator which enables the voltage difference
of the r.m.s. values between the beginning (transformer) and
the selected load point of the line to be measured in relation to
the current intensity and the cos ϕ. This value can be used as
the correction value Xk. For more information on the “Variable
Command Variable“, please refer to page 151.
Uf = U1 - U2
The angle at the load point is defined as ϕ2. In most cases, how-
ever, the difference between ϕ at the transformer and ϕ at the
load point may be neglected (see example).
To measure the right angle, please observe that the current and
the voltage paths (L1, L2, L3 as well as S1/k and S2/I) are cor-
rectly connected.
Example:
Given: R = 30 Ω; XL = 82 Ω; I = 100 A; cos ϕ2 = 0.7;
U2 = 110 kV at the end of the line.
Provided that the calculation is carried out with voltage indica-
tors (complex variables; EXCEL program E27; available upon
request), the result is the exact value of Uf = U1 - U2 = 7.96 kV
(the angle difference between the voltage indicators at the be-
ginning of the line and at the load point is approximately 2°).

REG - DA
The voltage at the transformer must thus be regulated to the
r.m.s. value U1 = 110 kV + 7.96 kV = 117.96 kV (command var-
iable W).
Setting R and XL
The differences between the entered values and the actual val-
ues of R and XL as well as the difference between the cos ϕ at
the transformer and the cos ϕ at the consumer (the voltage in-
dicators of U1 and U2 have different angles) may be compen-
sated for by readjusting R and XL.
13.2.3 Current-Dependent Setpoint Value Increment

Determining the voltage levels XR and Uf
The voltage level XR (setpoint value) should correspond to the
required voltage at a minimum current intensity.
The voltage level Uf is a function of the gradient of the linear Uf/
ILcharacteristic and the current intensity. Adding this voltage to
the set setpoint value XR (increasing the setpoint value) com-
pensates for the voltage drop on the line.
Uf [V]
7.5 V
107.5 V 21.5 kV
6.563 V
4.688 V
100 V 20 kV 0 IL
100 A 700 A 800 A
0
0.625 A 4.375 A 5 A
Please observe that the positive or negative sign of the active

power is taken into consideration when the current-dependent
setpoint value is increased.
The current-dependent setpoint value increment is active if
power is being consumed and is inactive when power is being
supplied.
This procedure - which works in the interest of network opera-
tion - can only be carried out properly and reliably when the di-
rection of the active power is correctly input.

REG - DA
In this case, a positive sign for active power stands for incoming
power (setpoint value increment is permissible!) and a negative
sign for outgoing power which suspends the setpoint value in-
crement.
To detect the direction of the active power, the connections for
both the voltage and the current must be correctly assigned.
Therefore, please check the connections for current and volt-
age, as well as the assignments (SETUP 5, F2) and, finally,
check the sign for active power in the transducer mode.
Nominal value of the gradient

The nominal value of the gradient Gnom indicates the change in
the nominal voltage in percent when the current intensity of the
nominal current I1n of the current transformer mounted in the
network has been changed from 0 to 100%.
∆ U nom [ V ]
G n om [ % ] = ---------------------------- ⋅ 100%
U nom [ V ]
(∆Unom in relation to ∆IL [A])

For the voltage Uf = f (I), the following is therefore valid:

Uf [ V ] = ∆ U [ V ] = ------------------------ ⋅ U nom [ V ] ⋅ ⎜ --------------------------
-⎟
100% ⎝ I 1N [ A ] ⎠
Limitation of the voltage level Uf

To avoid having the command variable exceed a certain limit
value in the event of overcurrent, the gradient of the linear Uf/IL
characteristic must be set to zero starting at a specified value
of the current. From this point on, the characteristic curve is
horizontal.
Measuring the required gradient

To measure the required nominal value Gnom [%], the two value
pairs, voltage and current intensity, must be known at a light
load as well as at full load.
When using this type of characteristic curve, it must be taken
into consideration that the gradient and the setpoint value can-
not be set independently from each other, because otherwise,
if Gnom [%] > 0 %, the command variable W would be uninten-

REG - DA
tionally increased even at minimum levels of the current intensi-
ty Imin > 0.
Example:
The voltage is to be held constant at 20 kV at a certain point in
a network with a variable load:
Nominal values of the voltage transformer:
U1n = 20 kV; U2n = 100 V; Knu = 200
Nominal values of the current transformer:
I1n = 800 A; I2n = 5 A; Kni = 160
Measured value pairs:

Voltage change in percent
∆U [%] = (1.0 kV / 20.0 kV) 100% = 5%
To increase the voltage of the transformer at full load (Imax) to

21.5 kV, the command variable must be set higher by ∆U = 1.0
kV or by 5% of the nominal voltage U1n than the set setpoint
value XR.

Decreasing the setpoint value

At a light load and with this gradient, the command variable W
would be increased to

W = ⎛ 1 + ---------------⎞ ⋅ -------------- ⋅ 205 kV = 20 67 kV???

⎝ 800 A 100% ⎠
which corresponds to (100 A / 800 A) 6.67% = 0.83% of the

nominal voltage.
Thus, the setpoint value XR would have to be set lower by

0.83 % in order to maintain the voltage level at 20.5 kV in the
case of a light load.
Adjusting the setpoint values

At full load, the reduction of the setpoint value, however, causes
the command variable W to be lowered so that it is indispensa-
ble to find a compromise between the increase in Gnom [%] and
the decrease in the reduction of the setpoint value.

13.3 Regulative Deviations
13.3.1 Regulative Deviation Xw

The regulative deviation Xw is the difference between the actual
value X of the regulating variable and the command variable W.
The sign of the regulative deviation may be either plus or minus.
Note
The regulative deviation Xw corresponds to the negative
regulation difference Xd.

13.3.2 Permissible Regulative Deviation Xwz
To minimize the switching frequency of the tap-changer, a de-
viation in the line voltage from the command variable W is toler-
ated within certain limits, e.g. a specific regulative deviation is
permissible.
This permissible regulative deviation Xwz is indicated in ± n% of
the command variable W (independent of all of the other limit val-
ues expressed in %) and determines the limits for the maximum
permissible relative fluctuation range of the line voltage above
as well as below the command variable W. This is why the ab-
solute limit values of this tolerance band are dependent on the
value of the set command variable W.
When the line voltage dips into this tolerance band, the regula-
tion process is interrupted and the integrator is set to zero so
that the regulation/integration does not begin again after each
dip in the line voltage until the line voltage overshoots or under-
shoots the limits of the tolerance band.
Thus, fluctuations in the line voltage within the permissible reg-
ulative deviation do not influence the regulation process.
13.3.3 Indicating the Regulative Deviation Xw

The deviation of the line voltage X from the command variable
W is indicated analogously on the scale of the regulator. The
color of the pointer changes from light to dark grey when the
voltage exceeds the permissible regulative deviation Xwz.
When indicating the permissible regulative deviation Xwz, the
setpoint value correction Xk for compensating the voltage drop
in the line is not taken into consideration.
13.3.4 Setting the Regulative Deviation Xwz

The tolerance band determined by the permissible regulative
deviation Xwz (indicated in + a% of W) must be higher than the
tap-change of the transformer in percent, because otherwise
the changed output voltage of the transformer would violate the
opposite limit of the permissible regulative deviation after a con-
trol command has been executed. After having reached the in-
tegral value, a control command would then be output to reset
the previous transformer tap-changer position. This procedure
would be persistently repeated, e.g. this would lead to frequent
tap-changes of the transformer and thus to unwanted fluctua-
tions in the line voltage.

REG - DA
In order to avoid violating the upper and lower limits of the per-
missible regulative deviation, the following formula applies
2 ⋅ |± Xwz [%]| > ∆Utap [%]

or
|± Xwz [%]| > 0.5 ∆Utap [%]
Guide value for Xwz

The following guide value is generally recommended for the
permissible regulative deviation Xwz:
|± Xwz [%]| ≥ 0.6 ∆Utap [%]
Example for determining the permissible regulative deviation

Nominal voltage Unom = 100 kV
Number of tap-changes ± 15 tap-changes
Setting range 85 kV ... 115 kV
Tap-change increment: (115 kV - 85 kV):
30 tap-changes = 1 kV / tap-change
Thus 1 kV corresponds to the value of 1% of Unom
With this data, the permissible regulative deviation Xwz should

not be less than the value Xwz = + 0.6 ⋅ 1.0 kV = + 0.6 kV
(+ 0.6 %). The absolute limits are thus 100.6 kV and 99.4 kV.
If, for example, the upper limit is violated and the voltage is set
back by one tap-change, the voltage is reduced to 100.6 kV –
1.0 kV = 99.6 kV, e.g. the lower limit of 99.4 kV is not under-
shot.
The voltage remains within the range of the permissible regula-
tive deviation.

REG - DA
13.4 Monitoring extreme operation values (fault
events)
In case of a fault event in the network, e.g. in the case of inad-
missibly or extremely high/low voltages or currents, the regula-
tor must not control the tap-changer of the transformer to the
highest or lowest tap-changer position in order to avoid having
the line voltage take on impermissible values after the cause of
the fault event in the line voltage has been eliminated. These
monitoring tasks are carried out by additional limit-value trans-
mitters.
13.4.1 Limit-Value Transmitter

Time Delay
The temporal difference between the attainment of the limit val-
ue and the transmission of the signal is defined as the time de-
lay. A specific time delay can be selected (parameterized) for
each limit-value transmitter.
Note
Please note that the actual switching time delay can ex-
ceed the parameterized switching time delay by up to 2
seconds. This difference is due to the procedure select-
ed for determining the measured values.
Hysteresis Xsd
The difference in the input variables between the switching on
and off of the limit signal after the limit value violation has disap-
peared is defined as the hysteresis. The hysteresis Xsd has a
standard value of 1% of 100 V (corresponds to 1 V).
Assignment of the limit-value transmitter
Each of the following limit values is monitored by one limit-value
transmitter. In the case of certain types of limit signals, a special
additional function is activated.
In the case of a limit value violation, you have the option of se-
lecting via the menu whether a binary output or an LED should
be activated.
Note
Any number of additional limit-value transmitters can be
generated via the programming language REG - L (as a
background program).

REG - DA
Setting the limit values/plausibility check
The limit value can be set freely for each limit-value transmitter
within a given range. This is why the user must check the logical
relations of the values with each other.
Limit-Value transmitter: trigger (G1)

When U > G1: activation of the add-on Setting the Regulator to
a STANDSTILL (no issuing of control commands) in the event
of overvoltage.
Setting range: 100 V ≤ G1 ≤ 135 V.
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)
according to need.
The limit value violation can also be indicated on the screen and
can be additionally signalized by a freely programmable LED
(LED 1 ... LED 12).
Limit-Value transmitter: Backwards high-speed switching (G2)

When U > G2 is exceeded: activation of the add-on Backwards
High-Speed Switching (for more information on the fastest se-
ries of control commands, see “Add-on High-Speed Switching”
on page 165).
Setting range: 1.00 X0 ≤ G2 ≤ 1.35 X0
The limit value reference is always the corresponding setpoint
value.
No more control commands will be output after the dip into the
tolerance band + Xwz. The limit signal can also be allocated to
a binary output (R3 ... R11) according to need. Furthermore, the
limit value violation can be signalized by a freely programmable
LED (LED 1 ... LED 12.
Limit-Value transmitter: Forward high-speed switching (G3)

When U < G3 is undershot: activation of the add-on Forward
High-Speed Switching (for more information on the fastest se-
ries of control commands, see “Add-on High-Speed Switching”

The limit value reference is always the corresponding setpoint
value. The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3,
R4, R5, or BA1 ... BA4) according to need. Furthermore, the

LED.
Limit-Value transmitter > U (G4)
When U > G4 is exceeded: a selected action is activated.
It is possible to select either the setpoint value, 100 V, or 110 V
as the limit value reference. For more information, see “Limit
Base (Reference Value)” on page 90.

Limit-Value transmitter >I (G5)

When I > G5 is exceeded: activation of a selected action and

the front panel of the REG - DA.

suing of control commands).

Furthermore, the limit value violation can be signalized by a free-
ly programmable LED.

Limit-Value transmitter: Inhibit Low(G8)

When U < G8 is undershot: activation of the limit signal and the

control commands), (see “Add-on: Setting the Regulator to a
Standstill” on page 166.
according to need.
Furthermore, the limit value violation can be signalized by a free-
ly programmable LED.
Reference value X0 and reference value for the limit values

The upper and lower limit value may be set as a relative value in
% of the active reference value or as an absolute value in rela-
tion to the nominal value of the voltage Unom as shown in "Pa-
rameters" on page 211.
Example Relative Limits:

If the "setpoint value XR" is selected as the reference value, all
of the limit values change in relation to the respective setpoint
value.
Setpoint value: XR = 102.0 V; limit values: ± 10%;
thus the upper limit is 112.2 V and the lower limit is 91.8 V.

REG - DA
Example Absolute Limits:
If "Unom = 100 V" is selected as the reference value, all of the limit
values refer to the nominal voltage of 100 V and are independ-
ent of the current setpoint value.
Reference value: Unom = 100 V; setpoint value:105 V;
limit values: + 10% of Unom; thus the lower limit is 90 V and the
upper limit is 110 V.
For a summary of all of the limit values, please see “Parameters” on
page 211.

REG - DA
13.5 Add-ons
13.5.1 Add-on High-Speed Switching

Using the high-speed switching add-on switches off the time
delay (regulation behaviour), e.g. the control commands for the
tap-changer are output in the shortest possible temporal se-
quence.
The regulator quickly regulates the tap-changer via successive
control commands in the same direction (RAISE or LOWER)
back to a tap-changer position with which the voltage of the
transformer is within the permissible regulative deviation. Then
the high-speed switching action becomes inactive again. This
ensures that too high/too low output voltages of the transform-
er are quickly eliminated.
The user may set the shortest interval between the control
commands (defined as the tap-changer in operation time) for
switching the tap-changer according to need (SETIUP 5, F1,
F2), so that only those control commands are output which can
be executed by the tap-changer.
There are two different types of control for avoiding that the tap-
changer drives are triggered by a sequence of control com-
mands that is too fast.
➪ If a regulator input E1 ... E16 is configured as the tap-
changer in operation input (with the exception of E5 and
E6), the regulator will not output the control commands until
2 s after the tap-changer in operation "drops".
➪ If the tap-changer in operation is not output to the regulator,

the regulator will output the control commands in a tempo-
ral sequence corresponding to the set "maximum time tap-
changer in operation" (menu add-on 1).
Activation
The high-speed switching operation of the regulator is activated
either internally (standard program) or externally via a binary sig-
nal. The high-speed switching operation can also be activated
via a binary input signal even if it were not required due to the
voltage actual value.

REG - DA
13.5.2 Add-on: Setting the Regulator to a Standstill
With the use of the Setting the Regulator to a Standstill add-on,
the output of control commands to the tap-changer is blocked
(the output is "set to a standstill"). The standstill is active as long
as the line voltage is violating the limit value for the standstill.
Approximately 5 s after the line voltage violation has been
cleared, the regulator will continue to function normally again.
Activation
The regulator is switched to a standstill either internally (stand-
ard program) or externally via a binary signal.
13.5.3 Add-on: Measuring the "Creeping Net Breakdown"

The add-on "Creeping Net Breakdown" is mainly used to again
increase the voltage back to the default value after the voltage
on the high voltage side has fallen for a certain period of time.
In such cases, a voltage regulator generally initially reacts with
tap-changes in the direction of a higher voltage to maintain a
constant secondary voltage.
If the voltage on the primary side suddenly returns to its default
value, the transformer will be set to a tap that is too high (high
voltage) and will have to be regulated back in the direction of a
lower voltage.
In order to steady the network, these procedures may be opti-
mized by means of the add-on “Creeping Net Breakdown”.
If the regulative deviation is so large that - during a certain time

period - more than a specified number of control commands in
the same direction (only RAISE) is required to eliminate the reg-
ulative deviation, the REG - DA voltage regulator can react in
two different ways:
➪ The regulator does not output any control commands. It

leaves the operation mode "AUTOMATIC" and remains in
the operation mode "MANUAL" until the switchover back to
"AUTOMATIC" is carried out either via the MANUAL key or
via a remote control command.

REG - DA
➪ The regulator blocks all further control commands for a free-
ly selectable llock time (1 min. to 20 min.). This lock is auto-
matically eliminated by the following:
a) after the selected lock time has run out
or
b) after the first control command LOWER is output
(e.g. if the upper limit of the regulative deviation is violated).
Approximately 5 seconds after returning to the permissible
range, the add-on “Creeping Net Breakdown” is deleted.
The add-on “Creeping Net Breakdown” suppresses the add-on
“Forward High-Speed Switching”.
This add-on is not suitable for operating medium-voltage networks.

This is due to the fact that in the standard version (only
equipped with one voltage measurement!), the regulator cannot
recognize whether the change in the secondary side voltage is
due to a creeping net breakdown of the primary side or a
change in the load on the secondary side. Changes in the load
on the secondary side must, of course, be immediately recti-
fied.
In general, this function can only be reliably realized by imple-
menting an additional voltage measurement on the primary
side.
In this manner, the regulator can decide even in medium-volt-
age networks whether the fault is on the primary or on the sec-
ondary side. This requires an additional program which can be
ordered from the headquarters of our company A. Eberle
GmbH & Co. KG as needed.

Deviation"
ParrErr is triggered when a tap-change deviation occurs be-
tween two transformers operating in parallel which is larger than
the specified permissible deviation.

Bit 6=0, only the regulator carrying out the tap-change that lead
to the permissible maximum tap-change deviation being ex-
ceed will be switched over to the MANUAL operation mode.
Note
If you prefer this behaviour, please contact the head-
quarters of our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG.
13.5.5 Add-on: Monitoring the Tap-Changer

After the control command has been output, the regulator con-
trols the correct switching of the tap-changer by recording the
tap-change signal (tap-changer in operation) sent back by the
tap-changer and then compares this value with the maximum
tap-change in operation time which was previously set via the
menu (Setup 5, add-on 1).
If the tap-change signal continues to be output for a longer pe-
riod of time, it is possible that the tap-changer has an error. The
process of the tap-changer can be interrupted (Emergency-
OFF) by means of a freely programmable output R3... R11.

REG - DA
13.6 Time Behaviour of the Regulator when a
Control Command is Output
Requirements
The optimal time behaviour of the regulator can be achieved by
reaching an optimum between the maximum voltage constan-
cy and a minimum tap-changer switching frequency. Moreover,
large regulative deviations are to be rectified faster than small
regulative deviations.
There are basically two options for complying with the require-
ments specified above:
➪ The regulative deviations are added up to a specified inte-
gral value before the regulator outputs a control command.
If the line voltage dips into the tolerance band (+ Xwz) before
this integral value is reached, the integrator will be set to ze-
ro.
➪ The regulative deviations are constantly evaluated before

the integration by means of a selected function (defined as
Xwb). According to the selected function, the evaluation
factor is increased either linearly or non-linearly according to
with the amount of the regulative deviation. Therefore, large
regulative deviations (voltage deviations) are rectified faster
than small ones. Large deviations in the voltage from the
command variable already trigger a control command after
a short period of time (quickly reaching the integral value),
whereas small voltage deviations do not trigger a control
command before a longer period of time has elapsed.
Basic time and time factor
The variable evaluation factor of the regulative deviation Xw is
not indicated directly, rather it is indicated as the time tg in sec-
onds which passes from the beginning of the integration to the
triggering of a control command provided that the regulative
deviation is constant. Thus, the relationship between the regu-
lative deviation and the reaction time can be recognized imme-
diately.
If, for operational reasons, a slower reaction of the regulator is
requested, the time tg may be multiplied and thus enlarged by
a time factor FZ (0.1 ... 30).

REG - DA
The interval up to the actual output of the control command
which is decisive for triggering the control command is thus
also determined by the switching time delay tv = tg x Ft.
Time behaviour of the regulator

With the given permissible regulative deviation Xwz, the reac-
tion delay tv thus depends on the value and the duration of the
corresponding current regulative deviation Xw, the selected
characteristic Xw/tg and the value of the set time factor Ft.

13.6.2 Integrating time programs
Both of the integrating time programs „delta U * t = const“ and
„REG- 5A/E“ are essentially programs that cause the regulator
to carry out a tap-change and the integrator to be set back to
zero after every regulation procedure when the integral from the
voltage deviation delta U and the time t has reached a specified
value.
If the voltage again falls above or below the voltage band after
completion of a regulation procedure, the regulator waits the in-
terval specified by the algorithm (time from the characteristic
curve multiplied by the time factor!) until it initiates another tap-
changing procedure.
For understanding both of the integrating time procedures it is
helpful to imagine a pail that has been hung up asymmetrically.
Fig. 1 Fig.2
Pail (memory) is filled Pail (memory) is filled
with a small regulative with a large regulative
deviation deviation
The full pail being spilled is similar to the tap-changing proce-

dure of the regulator.
This helpful illustration can be interpreted as follows:
The greater the amount of water that flows into the pail per unit
of time (the larger the voltage deviation), the quicker the pail will
be filled and the quicker it will tip over and spill out (the regulator
carries out a tap-change).
The smaller the amount of water that flows into the pail per unit
of time (the smaller the voltage deviation), the longer it takes for
the pail to tip over and spill out (the regulator carries out a tap-
change).

REG - DA
The intensity of the stream of water (e.g. m³/unit of time) corre-
sponds to the voltage deviation.
This algorithm is based on the operating experience that small
voltage deviations do not need to be dealt with immediately be-
cause they do not generally influence operation and because
the deviation can also be "amended" by changing the load (volt-
age returns to the bandwidth).
The setpoint value and the bandwidth limitations are generally
parameterized so that the voltage lies in the middle of the band-
width.
In cases in which the voltage has changed to such an extent
that it still lies within the bandwidth, but is close to the limitation
due to a specific load situation or a change in the primary volt-
age, small changes in the voltage or the load will always lead to
a violation of the bandwidth.
Since smaller regulative deviations are usually accompanied by
a longer integration or reaction time on the part of the regulator
(it takes a long time for the pail to fill up and tip over!), the volt-
age remains outside of the permissible bandwidth for a longer
period of time when being observed over a specific length of
time.
In such cases, specific intervention of the regulator is very much
desired.
13.6.3 Trend memory

The „trend memory“ parameter can be used to influence all of
the algorithms in the sense of accelerating them.
The trend memory functions as follows:
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, the integration proce-
dure is initiated - that is, the pail is filled up. After a specific pe-
riod of time determined by various parameters (set permissible
regulative deviation, actual regulative deviation, time factor), the
regulator starts to carry out tap-changes.
If the voltage returns to the bandwidth without the regulator
having issued a tap-changing command, the integrator is not
automatically set back to zero. Instead it isn't set back until the
interval parameterized for the trend memory has elapsed.
If the voltage again leaves the tolerance band a short time later,
the tap-changing command will tend to be issued earlier, since
the integrator was not yet set back to zero and can therefore be
completely „filled up“ again more quickly.

REG - DA
However, once a tap-changing command is issued, the mem-
ory is set back to zero.
The "trend memory" can therefore help to ensure that the inte-
grator is not set back immediately when the voltage returns to
the permissible tolerance band. If the voltage leaves the band-
width at a point in time in which the memory has not been com-
pletely emptied, the regulator can react earlier, since the
integration procedure or "filling" procedure starts at a higher
level, not from zero.
The following is generally valid: For filling up the memory which

in the case of a 100% load triggers a tap-changing procedure,
the time is decisive which results from the selected time pro-
gram. On the other hand, the time is decisive for emptying the
memory which was parameterized as the trend memory time.
Note
In the case of the time programs delta U *t=const and
REG 5A/E, the time interval is to be set for filling up the
memory which results from the corresponding charac-
teristic curves. In the case of the „Const“ time program
(see page 177), the time T1 is valid.
Note
The function of the trend memory is explained using an
example at the end of this chapter.
In order to ensure that the current fill level of the trend memory
can be evaluated by the operator, a progress display has been
integrated into the display of the regulator.
The progress display is shown as a black bar in the lower sec-

tion of the display. The bar remains black as long as the mem-
ory is being filled - meaning that the voltage is still outside of the
tolerance band. If the memory is emptied, on the other hand,
the bar changes colour and becomes lighter.
As soon as the bar reached the right edge of the screen, a tap-
changing command is issued. If the bar is invisible, this means
that the trend memory has been completely emptied.

REG - DA
13.6.4 The „Const“ time program
„Const“ stands for constant reaction times which cannot sensi-
tively be adjusted to the respective regulative deviations, as is
the case, for example, with the „delta U * t = const“ or the
„REG- 5A/E“ procedures.
In the case of these programs, two different times are firmly
specified which cause the regulator to carry out tap-changes
according to the extent of the regulative deviation.
The time T1 is effective if the voltage to be regulated only lies so
far outside of the voltage band that it can be returned to the per-
missible bandwidth by issuing one tap-change command. T2 is
valid, when larger deviations have to be regulated.
The interval starting at which the time T2 is valid is therefore the
same as the specified permissible regulative deviation.
Example:
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%
Actual regulative deviation is 3%
➪ the regulator works with the time T1
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%

Actual regulative deviation is 5%
➪ the regulator works with the time T2
One advantage of this procedure is that in the case of regulative

deviations which are larger than one tap-change, the operator
can easily see when the next tap-changing command will be is-
sued.
A disadvantage of this procedure in comparison to other pro-
cedures is that - when observed over a longer period of time -
the number of tap-changes will probably be larger than is the
case with both of the regulating algorithms, „∆U * t = const.“
and „REG 5A/E“.
The following is valid as a general recommendation for making
settings: The time T2 should be shorter than time T1, because
larger deviations must be compensated for more quickly than
smaller ones.

REG - DA
Of course, the absolute values of the times in this case also de-
pend on the specific conditions at the respective feeding point
(structure of the consumer, behaviour of the load, etc.).
In the same manner, sensible values for the trend memory can
also only be gained in actual use over time.
The "Const" time program and the mode of operation of the

trend memory are illustrated using an example.

The entire situation is illustrated in five diagrams.
Diagram 1 shows the progression of the voltage over time.

At the point in time T0, the voltage leaves the tolerance band to
return again after 20 seconds.
After 10 additional seconds, the voltage again leaves the per-
missible tolerance band to be returned to the permissible band-
width again after 30 seconds due to the "lower" command
issued by the regulator.
Diagram 2 describes the fill level of the trend memory. When the
fill level reaches the standard value 1, the regulator carries out
a switching operation. If, on the other hand, the graph reaches
the x axis, the memory is emptied.
Diagram 3 illustrates the temporal progression of the tap-chang-
ing commands issued by the regulator on the basis of the reg-
ulative deviations.
Diagrams 4 and 5 illustrate the temporal relationships without the
trend memory.
After 20 seconds, the integrator for T1 is set back to zero to
then be once again filled - starting from zero - after 30 seconds.
Now altogether 40 seconds (T1) are required to fill the memory
so full that a tap-changing command can be issued.
The mode of operation of the trend memory can be best illus-
trated using Diagram 2.
In order to be able to illustrate the individual steps more clearly,
the diagram has been divided up into three sections i....iii.
Section i: The voltage is outside of the tolerance band and the

integrator for the time T1 is running.
If the voltage were to remain outside of the tolerance band for
40 seconds, the regulator would issue a tap-changing com-
mand. However, since the voltage already returns to the toler-
ance bandwidth within 20 seconds, the regulation procedure is
disabled.
Section ii: The integrator for T1 is filled halfway (with altogether

50% or 20 seconds!). It now begins to empty itself according to
the time specified for the trend memory (100% => 20 seconds).

REG - DA
Section iii: The voltage only remains outside of the permissible
tolerance band for 10 seconds and then once again exceeds
the permissible voltage range.
Within this interval, the integrator was only able to empty itself
from 50% to 25% (from 20 seconds to 10 seconds). If the volt-
age remains outside of the bandwidth for another 30 seconds,
the regulator will issue a tap-changing command.
For the voltage progression described in the example, the use
of the trend memory shortens the interval from 70 seconds to
60 seconds which elapses before the regulator starts to act (al-
so see Diagrams 4 and 5).
13.6.5 Setting the Time Factor Ft

If the 24-hour load curve follows a normal course under regular
operating conditions, an empirical value of 2 ... 3 applies for the
time factor. In case the 24-hour load curve is even more con-
stant, the compensation may be accelerated by selecting a
smaller time factor.
13.7 E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)

Each bus subscriber (REG - DA) has two E-LAN interfaces re-
spectively which enable so-called line-to-line operation. In this
operation mode, each regulator works as a bus subscriber and,
at the same time, as a bus repeater which regenerates distort-
ed rectangular forms and which increases the output level to
the setpoint value. The E-LAN is defined to wire up to a maxi-
mum of 255 bus subscribers.
Types of lines
Each one of the E-LAN interfaces can operate on a 2-conduc-
tor line or on a 4-conductor line (RS485). A 2-conductor line is
usually selected because this is the only possibility which per-
mits a bus configuration with several bus subscribers on the
same bus line.
The transmission line must be connected with a resistor of
100 Ω at its beginning and end. If there is no matching resistor,
reflections might occur which will distort the signals, increase
the line attenuation and thus shorten the maximum transmis-
sion distance of the lines.

REG - DA
The matching resistor is already integrated in the REG-DA and
may be switched on and off via the operating panel (termina-
tion).
Topology
The topology of the network, e.g. the connection of each bus
subscriber to the bus, may be freely selected and combined.
The maximum permissible line length in the E-LAN is deter-
mined by the transmission rate and by the line data. In the
RS485, the length is normally < 1.2 km with a transmission rate
of 62.5 kBaud.
If a booster (has the same function as a bus repeater) is mount-
ed to increase the permissible line length (1.2 km), it is only pos-
sible to use a 4-conductor line. The necessary matching
resistors will then be activated automatically (it is no loner nec-
essary to select scheduling).
Bus segment
Up to 16 bus subscribers can be connected to one bus seg-
ment (line between first and last subscriber without addition of
boosters).
Up to 32 bus subscribers can be connected to one bus seg-
ment if all of the spur-line connections are as short as possible
and the total loop resistance of the transmission line is
< 100 Ohm.
Multimaster structure
The E-LAN has a multimaster structure, e.g. any bus subscriber
may respectively be declared to be the bus master.
Each regulator on the bus works completely independently on
the E-LAN and has access to all of the data of the other bus
subscribers.
Clear addressing
Each bus subscriber on the E-LAN must be assigned a valid
address. 255 different, freely selectable addresses are possi-
ble.
An address has the form: A, A1 ... A9, B, B1 ... B9, Z, Z1 ... Z4

REG - DA
Bus subscribers index
Each bus subscriber automatically generates an internal index
of all bus subscribers with valid addresses in the E-LAN.
Every three seconds, each bus subscriber in the E-LAN sends
a so-called broadcast message to all of the other bus subscrib-
ers so that the latter can adapt their internal index accordingly.
If the broadcast message of a bus subscriber is interrupted for
more than 20 seconds, the other bus subscribers will delete the
corresponding bus subscriber from their internal index. A list of
all bus subscribers may be polled via the operation panel.
The background program can be used to specify that the omis-
sion of a bus participant is indicated via a signal (relay, LED) or
a text message on the display.
13.8 Voltage Regulation with Transformers

Switched in Parallel
If transformers switched in parallel do not have the same data
(EMK, uk), an additional current (circulating current) will perma-
nently flow within this parallel-switching operation. This circulat-
ing current generates losses and is independent of the load
current and must therefore be avoided.
Regulation criteria
In the case of parallel-switching on a busbar, the terminal volt-
age of all of the transformers – even with different tap-changer
positions - is compulsorily set to the same amount. This is why
the voltage alone cannot be a regulation criteria in the case of
transformers with different parameters.To be able to control
transformers switched in parallel on a busbar to the corre-
spondingly required voltage and to the same tap-changer posi-
tion, the voltage regulation must be supplemented by a
circulating current regulation.
command variable
The REG - DA voltage regulators regulate the voltage on the un-
dervoltage side (on the measuring transformer) of each trans-
former to a common command variable which depends on the
sum current of the transformers switched in parallel. It is as-
sumed that the network is usually loaded symmetrically, e.g.

REG - DA
that the current intensity in each one of the three phases is ap-
proximately the same.
Sum current (only relevant in the event of current influence)

The currents of all of the transformers can be summed up in
one regulator by crosslinking the REG - DA voltage regulators
of all of the transformers switched in parallel via one bus.
This sum current and the selected gradient of the Uf/IL charac-
teristic is the uniform base for the current-dependent influence
of the command variable W for all regulators.
Due to the use of a normed sum current, the gradient of the Uf/
IL characteristic can be set independently of the number and
different types of characteristic data (nominal power, short-cir-
cuit voltage) of the transformers switched in parallel, so that
changes in these parameters do not require resetting the gra-
dient Gnom.
13.8.1 Regulation Programs for Transformers Switched in

Parallel
The following procedures are available:
➪ ∆ I sin ϕ procedure
(minimization of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ)
➪ ∆ I sin ϕ (S) procedure

(minimization of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ
with different transformers))
➪ Master-Follower procedure
(forced parallel operation; same tap-changer position)
➪ ∆ cos ϕ procedure
(minimization of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ)
➪ MSI - Master-Follower-independent procedure
Parameters
Parameters determine the extent to which the parallel programs
may affect regulation.
Depending on the type of regulation program selected for
switching transformers in parallel, there are different parameter
menus at the user’s disposal.

REG - DA
➪ influence of the circulating current regulation
➪ limitation of the influence of the circulating current regulation
➪ setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset)
➪ nominal power of the transformers
➪ transformer group list (addresses of regulators controlling
transformers operating in parallel on a busbar which can be
activated via the menu or via a binary signal)
13.8.2 Functional Principle

How to minimize the reactive circulating current
The circulating current Icirc sin ϕ of the circulating current Icirc
should ideally be zero or at least be minimized.
Due to the fact that the voltage cannot be changed continuous-
ly (tap-change “increments”), it is almost impossible to achieve
sin ϕ = 0.
To minimize the reactive component of the circulating current,
each regulator measures the reactive component I sin ϕ of the
load currents for each transformer of the group list, calculates
the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ of the assigned trans-
former and thus sets the tap-changer position in such a way
that this reactive circulating current is minimized.
13.8.3 Influence Error of the Circulating Current Regulation

The amount that the voltage changes depends on the parame-
ters of the “Influence of the circulating current regulation” as
well as on their degree of limitation. Larger permissible circulat-
ing currents (e.g. the influence error of the circulating current
regulation is lowered) cause the precision of the circulating cur-
rent regulation to be lowered which could result in tap-change
deviations of more than one tap-change.
Limitation of the influence error of the circulating current regulation

Under regular operating conditions, the voltage regulation and
the circulating current regulation are independent of each other
(the limitation value of the influence of the circulating current
regulation lies far above the normal operation value).

REG - DA
Only under extreme conditions, such as:
➪ parallel-switching operations of transformers with previous-
ly different tap-changer positions
➪ manual change in the tap-changer position

➪ ∆cosϕ regulation when cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset
may regulation take place which achieves either optimal voltage

stability or optimal reactive circulating current minimization. The
user chooses his/her priority by setting the respective parame-
ters.
This means that if voltage regulation is to be given priority over
circulating current regulation, the influence of the circulating
current regulation can be limited to a minimum value which
must nevertheless be higher than zero.
13.8.4 Activation of the Regulation Program

Both the regulation program selected via the menu and the ad-
dresses of the transformers/regulators involved in the parallel-
switching operation are stored in a “group list” (SETUP 1, pro-
grams..., Par. parameters...). The parallel-switching operation
and its reset is activated via a freely selectable binary input
(SETUP 5, add-on 6).
The corresponding activation may be executed via an impulse

or via a high-level permanent signal.
A self-learning regulation program is also available with the help

of which the regulators on the E-LAN permanently check which
transformers are feeding on which busbar. The transformer
group list is constantly updated in accordance with these re-
sults.
The active or inactive status (Par Prog) of the regulation pro-

gram can be signalled via either a freely programmable LED or
a relay. Any errors in the regulation program are signalled via
ParErr or TapErr.

13.8.5 Description of the Regulation Programs
∆ I sin ϕ operation
Functional principle:
The value of the reactive current should be the same value IbA
= IbB = IbC,... for each of the transformers A, B, C,... switched
in parallel!
Application:
Busbar parallel operation with a maximum of 10 transformers
with a nearly equal nominal power, a nearly equal short-circuit
voltage and the same switching group. The tap-change incre-
ments may differ and the cos ϕ in the network can take any val-
ues requested.
Preconditions:
The short-circuit voltages of the transformers switched in par-
allel must not differ to any great extent:
0.90 uk1 < uk2 < 1.10 uk1. The nominal powers should be ap-
prox. equal.
The program ∆I sin ϕ (S) is available when transformers with dif-
ferent nominal powers are used.
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the reactive circulating current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = lb** - lb* per tap-
change of the assigned transformer)
➪ Transformer group list (addresses of regulators controlling

transformers switched in parallel on a busbar which can be
activated via the menu or via a binary signal)
➪ Permissible tap-change deviation

(SETUP 5, add-on 6)
Permissible Icirc:
The correct value results as follows:
➪ Set all of the transformers in the group list to the same tap-
changer position (operation mode MANUAL) that causes

REG - DA
approx. the same terminal voltage. Then record the value of
the reactive current lb (lb = Isinϕ = reactive component of
the load current). The value of the reactive current must be
as equal as possible in all of the transformers.
➪ Change each transformer one after the other by one tap-

changer position.
➪ The reactive current changes. The difference between the

new value (Ib** = 2nd measured value) and the old value
(Ib* = 1st measured value) is considered to be the 1st ap-
proximation to the “perm. Icirc”.
Since the regulator is supposed to reset the transformer to the
previous tap-changer position, the permissible circulating cur-
rent (permissible Icirc) must be set to a slightly lower value than
the value found in the 1st approximation.
The following formula applies: permissible Icirc > 0.6 (lb** - lb*).
Low values might produce oscillations, in particular when the

transformers have different tap-changer increments or different
short-circuit voltages.
ParrErr
To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap-change
deviation (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is monitored
in turn by the error flag “ParErr”.
After the set max. tap-change deviation is exceeded, the error
flag ParErr is set and the parallel switching operation is
switched to the MANUAL operation mode − provided that Sy-
sctrl Bit 6 has been set.
Note
Bit 6 has been set on delivery!
The function of the tap-changer can also be monitored in the

current-dependent regulation programs (∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S),
∆cosϕ).
Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating
a parallel switching operation, because the regulation only de-

REG - DA
rives the regulation commands from the current and the voltage
(amount and angle) and not from the tap-changer position of
the transformer.
TapErr
The error flag TapErr signals errors in the transmission of the
tap-changer position or errors in the coding/decoding of the
tap-changer. TapErr is only locally effective in the ∆sinϕ π pro-
cedure, that is it only affects the regulator where the tap error
has occurred.

If a transformer is operating in parallel, the error flag TapErr is
set when - after a tap-change - the logically expected tap-
changer position is not established within 1.5 x tap-changer
runtime.
In general, every regulator expects the logically next step that

follows a tap-change increment. If the reaction of the system is
illogical, TapErr will be activated.

∆ I sin ϕ (S) procedure
The ratio between the value of the reactive current and the
nominal power should be the same value IbA/SnA = IbB/SnB =
IbC/SnC = ... for each of the transformers A, B, C,... operated in
parallel!
Application:
Transformers with different nominal powers which feed via one
busbar in the network. Both the switching group as well as the
short-circuit voltages of the transformers should be as equal as
possible because deviations may cause a different capacity uti-
lization of the transformers.
Preconditions:
The permissible limits for different short-circuit voltages are as
follows: 0.90 uk1 < uk2 < 1.10 uk1
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the reactive circulating current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = lb** - lb* per tap-
change of the assigned transformer; lb* = 1st measured val-
ue, lb** = 2nd measured value). In the case of transformers
switched in parallel that have different nominal powers, it is
necessary to measure the permissible circulating current for
each transformer separately and to enter it in the regulator.

➪ Transformer group list (addresses of regulators controlling
transformers operating in parallel on one busbar which may

Permissible Icirc:

REG - DA
The correct value results as follows:
➪ Set all of the addresses/transformers in the group list to the
same tap-changer position (operation mode MANUAL) that
causes approx. the same terminal voltage. Then record the
value of the reactive current lb. The value of the reactive cur-
rent must be as equal as possible in all of the transformers
(can be seen in the transducer mode).
➪ Change each transformer one after the other by one tap-

changer position.
➪ The reactive current Ib changes. The difference between

the new value (Ib** = 2nd measured value) and the old value
(Ib* = 1st measured value) is considered to be the 1st ap-
proximation to Icirc.
Since the regulator is supposed to then reset the transformer to

the previous tap-changer position, the permissible circulating
current (permissible Icirc) must be set to the following value.
The following applies: permissible Icirc > 0.6 (lb** - lb*).
Low values might produce oscillations, in particular when the

transformers have different tap-changer increments or different
short-circuit voltages.
ParrErr
To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap-change
deviation (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is monitored
in turn by the error flag “ParErr”.
After the set max. tap-change deviation is exceeded, the error

Master-Follower procedure
This procedure is suitable for transformers with the same nom-
inal power, same tap-changer position and same tap-changer
increments.
After the parallel switching operation has been activated, the
master will regulate the slave, or - in the master-follower cycle -
the slaves, to the next tap-changer position to which it already
switched itself. The master-slave mode will then be activated
enabling all of the transformers involved in the parallel switching
operation to change taps synchronously.
In the master-follower program, the followers do not become
slaves until they have reached the same tap-changer position
given by the master.
As long as they are not in the same tap-changer position, they
remain in the Follower mode.
This differentiation and/or change can also be followed in the
status line of the regulator.
The precondition for the master-follower procedure is that each
regulator must be feed the current tap-changer position of “its”
transformer by means of a BCD, binary or mA signal.
Moreover, the tap-changer of each regulator involved in the
parallel switching operation must be switched on (menu SETUP
5, add-on-1, F4) before the parallel switching operation is acti-
vated.
The MSI (master-slave-independent procedure) is a special ver-
sion of the master-follower program (siehe “Parallel Operation

∆ cos ϕ procedure
By means of the set cos ϕset, the ratio between the active cur-
rent I cos ϕ and the reactive current I sin ϕ of the transformer
(load currents) is set to the required value. Regulation is execut-

REG - DA
ed in such a way that the cos ϕ of the transformer is regulated
to the set value of the cos ϕset.
The cos ϕ of the network is set on the regulator. Ideally, the reg-
ulator is required to maintain this value constantly because the
the consistency of the cos ϕnet is decisive for the quality of the
regulation. Deviations from the set value affect the regulation re-
sults because there is a small voltage change when cos ϕnet ≠
cos ϕset (inequality between the current value of the cos ϕ of the
network and the set cos ϕset).
Application:
Transformers which are feeding on one network independently
of each other and for which there is no bus link between the as-
signed regulators.

∆ cos ϕ emergency program

To maintain the stable condition of the circulating current regu-
lation even in the event of a error on the bus (E-LAN), an emer-
gency program has been implemented in the programs ∆I sin ϕ
and ∆I sin ϕ (S). This program will be activated as soon as the
regulator recognizes a bus error (E-LAN error). 10 seconds after
the bus error has been eliminated, all regulators connected to
the E-LAN will return to their previous program.
The ∆ cos ϕ Program is used as an emergency program,

whereby the regulation is not carried out to the set cos ϕset but
to the current cos ϕsum** of the network, which was the last one
measured by the regulator (cos ϕsum = angle between the sum
current and the line voltage). In this manner, the voltage regula-
tion is not influenced and the parallel operation of the transform-
ers remains stable.
If the cos ϕsum of the network changes (an event that usually oc-
curs only slowly, not suddenly), the line voltage changes only
slightly, because the regulator tries to find a compromise be-
tween the minimum difference of the measured cos ϕSum* of the
network and the current cosϕSum** of the network as well as the
minimum difference between the command variable W and the
actual value X of the voltage. This ensures that the parallel op-
eration of the transformers remains stable.

Each respectively active control level of the regulator (MANUAL/
AUTOMATIC) maintains its status even in the case of an outage
of the auxiliary voltage.
in the event that the auxiliary voltage is interrupted, the setting
“WITH” self-conduct causes the regulator to continue running
in the AUTOMATIC operation mode at the end of the event; this
is only possible if the regulator was operating in the AUTOMAT-
IC operation mode before the malfunction occurred.
In the case of the malfunction mentioned above, the setting
“WITHOUT” self-conduct would cause the regulator to continue
operating in the MANUAL operation mode at the end of the
event.

ParErr ParrErr generally stands for faulty parallel
operation (parallel error) and automatically
switches a group of transformers operating
in parallel from the AUTOMATIC operation
mode to the MANUAL operation mode.
If this behaviour is not desired, a different
type of behaviour can be selected via the
SysCtrl feature. If this is the case, please

ParrErr functions in different ways in the dif-
ferent parallel programs (for information on
the “Description of the Regulation Programs“,
please refer to page 187).
TapErr TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with

the tap-changer position. The designation is
derived from the term “tap error”.
Unlike ParErr, Tap Err is only locally effective,
that is it is only indicated on the regulator on
which the tap-changer position problem has
occurred. When operating using the master-fol-
lower or MSI procedure, the group working in
parallel is switched to the MANUAL operation
mode.

Abbrev. Definition
LR_AH Local/remote operation together with the
REG_LR device will be activated as soon as
the input functions LR_AH and LR_STAT are
used. These inputs are connected with the
the corresponding outputs of the REG_LR
device. As long as the REG_LR device holds
the status line LR_STAT active (1), the
AUTO/MANUAL status of the regulator will
be determined by the input LR_AH (1:AUTO,
0:HAND). Raise/lower commands may only
come from the regulator drive (in the case of
AUTO). As soon as the status of the
REG_LR device falls (0), the regulator will
revert to the AUTO/MANUAL operation
mode which applied 1s before the drop in
the LR_STAT signal. The regulator will then
continue to work as usual.
Special case: LR_STAT is not used, e.g. only
the input function LR_AH is activated.
In this case, it is always assumed that
LR_STAT is active.
LR_STAT If only the input function LR_STATUS is

used, the following applies:
LR_STAT active (1):
Remote operation, e.g. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via inputs or REG-L.
LR_STAT inactive (0):

Local operation, e.g. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via the keypad.
