4.2 Function description of the voltage regulation
The TAPCON® is used to keep the output voltage of a three-winding transformer constant. The three-winding transformer consists of one high voltage
winding and two undervoltage windings. The high voltage winding has an
on-load tap-changer.
The TAPCON® measures the voltage of the two undervoltage windings. The
voltage is regulated on either of the two windings. The device configuration
determines which winding is regulated. The non-regulated winding is still
monitored for the set limit values.
Figure3: Overview of voltage regulation of a three-winding transformer
To regulate the voltage, the TAPCON® compares the measured voltage of
the active undervoltage winding U
The difference between U
actual
and U
with a defined desired voltage U
actual
is the control deviation (dU).
desired
The TAPCON® parameters can be optimally adapted to the line voltage's
behavior to achieve a balanced control response with a low number of tapchange operations on the on-load tap-changer.

5.3 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
In addition to oscillation stress, jolts must also be expected during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping,
knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or is
subject to an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport container can be accessed from all sides.
Visible damage If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and the
relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment fur-
ther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision has
been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately onsite together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!
▪ If possible, photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This
also applies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture
inside the packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
▪ Be absolutely sure to also check the sealed packaging.
Hidden damage When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or

the fixing screws)
▪ Small screwdriver for connecting the signal lines and supply lines
Depending on the installation site and assembly variant, you may need additional tools and corresponding attachment material (screws, nuts, washers) which are not included in the scope of delivery.
6.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
The device has been developed in accordance with applicable EMC standards. The following points must be noted in order to maintain the EMC
standards.
Note the following when selecting the installation site:
▪ The system's overvoltage protection must be effective.
▪ The system's ground connection must comply with all technical regula-
tions.
▪ Separate system parts must be joined by a potential equalization.
▪ The device and its wiring must be at least 10m away from circuit-break-
ers, load disconnectors and busbars.
6.2.2 Wiring requirement of operating site
Note the following when wiring the operating site:
▪ Route the connecting leads in grounded metal cable ducts.
▪ Do not route lines which cause interference (e.g. power lines) and lines
susceptible to interference (e.g. signal lines) in the same cable duct.
▪ Maintain a distance of more than 100 mm between lines which cause in-
terference and those which are susceptible to interference.

1 Cable duct for lines causing inter-
ference
2 Line causing interference (e.g.
power line)
3 Cable duct for lines susceptible to
interference
4 Line susceptible to interference
(e.g. signal line)
▪ Short-circuit and ground reserve lines.
▪ Never connect the device with a multi-wire collective pipe.
▪ For signal transmission, use shielded lines with individual conductors (out-
going conductor / return conductor) twisted in pairs.
▪ Connect full surface of shielding (360º) to device or to a nearby grounding

6.2.3 Wiring requirement in control cabinet
Note the following when wiring the control cabinet:
▪ The control cabinet where the device will be installed must be prepared in
accordance with EMC requirements:
– Functional division of control cabinet (physical separation)
– Constant potential equalization (all metal parts are joined)
– Line routing in accordance with EMC requirements (separation of lines
which cause interference and those susceptible to interference)
– Optimum shielding (metal housing)
– Overvoltage protection (lightning protection)
– Collective grounding (main grounding rail)
– Cable bushings in accordance with EMC requirements
– Any contactor coils present must be interconnected
▪ The device's connection cables must be laid in close contact with the
grounded metal housing or in metallic cable ducts with a ground connection.
▪ Signal lines and power lines/switching lines must be laid in separate cable
In order for the CAN bus to operate faultlessly, you have to connect the
shielding using one of the following variants. If you are not able to use any of
the variants detailed below, we recommend using fiber-optic cables. Fiberoptic cables decouple the devices and are not sensitive to electromagnetic
interference (surge and burst).
NOTICE
Damage to the device!
If you connect the CAN bus cable to devices with different potentials, current may flow across the shielding. This current may damage the device.
► Connect the devices to a potential equalization rail to equalize the poten-
tial.
► If both devices have different potentials, only connect the CAN bus cable
shielding to one device.
Variant 1: The connected devices share the same potential
If the devices to be connected share the same potential, proceed as follows:
1. Connect all devices to a potential equalization rail to equalize the poten-
tial.
2. Connect the CAN bus cable shielding to all connected devices.
Variant 2: The connected devices have different potentials
Note that the shielding is less effective with this variant.
If the devices to be connected have different potentials, proceed as follows:
► Connect the CAN bus cable shielding to just one device.
Connecting shielding
Connect the shielding for the CAN bus cable to the 9-pin D-sub connector:
Figure26: Connection of CAN bus cable shielding to the 9-pin D-sub connector
Insufficient circulation of ambient air can result in damage to the device due
to overheating.
► Keep the ventilation slots clear.
► Ensure sufficient distance to neighboring components.
► Only mount device in horizontal position (ventilation slots are at the top
and bottom).
Reliable operation of the device in the permitted temperature range requires
that you maintain the following minimum distances to the control cabinet and
to neighboring components:
Minimum distance
To the floor of the control cabinet88.9 mm (3.5 in)
To the roof of the control cabinet

Wiring information
Note this procedure for the wiring:
▪ To obtain a better overview when connecting cables, only use as many
leads as necessary.
▪ Note the connection diagram.
▪ Only use the specified cables for wiring. Note the cable recommendation.
6.5.1 Cable recommendation
Please note the following Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen recommendation
when wiring the device.
6 Mounting
Excessive line capacitance can prevent the relay contacts from breaking the
contact current. In control circuits operated with alternating current, take into
account the effect of the line capacitance of long control cables on the function of the relay contacts.
If you want to route Ethernet connections from a control cabinet or building,
we recommend the use of fiber-optic cables (in accordance with the
IEC61850-90-4 recommendation).

6.5.3 Information about laying fiber-optic cable
To ensure the smooth transfer of data via the fiber-optic cable, you must ensure that mechanical loads are avoided when laying the fiber-optic cable and
later on during operation. Also observe the information from the manufacturer of the fiber-optic cable and the following instructions:
▪ Radii must not fall below the minimum permissible bend radii (do not bend
fiber-optic cable).
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be over-stretched or crushed. Observe the
permissible load values.
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be twisted.
▪ Be aware of sharp edges because they can damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating during laying or can place mechanical loads on the coating later
on.
▪ Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets. Lay the re-
serve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted when tight-
If you want to operate the device in parallel operation, you need to mount a
120 Ω terminating resistor at both ends of the CAN bus. Use the plug connector with terminating resistor provided as an option.

6.5.5 Connecting cables to the system periphery
To obtain a better overview when connecting cables, only use as many
leads as necessary.
To connect cables to the system periphery, proceed as follows:
ü Use only the specified cables for wiring. Note the cable recommendation.
► Connect the lines to be wired to the device to the system periphery as
In order to correctly record the analog signals, you must place the cable
shielding on the grounding bar. The cable shielding should only be removed
just prior to connecting, to ensure that the section with unshielded cables is
kept as short as possible. The shielding must be connected with shielding
clips.
Figure45: Examples of supporting shielding on grounding bar (on left: Direct connection to AIO
assembly, on right: Connection using line-up terminal)
Plug assignment
The AIO 2, AIO 4 and AIO 8 assemblies have a separate plug connector for
each channel (input or output). The plugs are assigned as follows:
Figure46: Plug assignment of AIO 2 and AIO 4 assemblies
You may only connect the device to circuits with an external overcurrent protection device and an all-pole isolating device, enabling the equipment to be
fully de-energized if required (service, maintenance etc.).
Suitable equipment includes isolating devices in accordance with IEC
60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 (e.g. circuit breaker). Note the properties of the
relevant circuits (voltage, maximum currents) when selecting the circuit
breaker type. In addition, observe the following:
▪ It must be easy for the operator to access the isolating device
▪ The isolating device must be labeled for the device and circuits to be iso-
lated
▪ The isolating device may not be a part of the power line
▪ The isolating device may not interrupt the main protective conductor
Miniature circuit breaker You must fuse the power supply circuit with a miniature circuit breaker. The
miniature circuit breaker must have the following properties:
▪ Rated current: 6 to 20 A
▪ Triggering characteristic: B or C
Conductor cross-section For the power supply circuit, use a conductor cross-section suitable for the
miniature circuit breaker that you have selected, but at least 1.5mm2 (AWG
You need to set several parameters and perform function tests before commissioning the device. These are described in the following sections.

device comes with a maximum of four languages. The following languages
are available:
4. Restart the device to apply the changed language setting.
7.3 Setting date and time
You can set the date and time in the following ways:
▪ Manually
▪ Time synchronization via control system (SCADA)
▪ Time synchronization via SNTP time server
If you are using a control system, the device automatically synchronizes the
date and time with the control system. If you would like to use an SNTP time
server, you must set the required parameters.
When doing so, observe the information provided in the Time synchronization [►Section 8.22, Page 224] section.
7.4 Commissioning wizard
If you want the device to help when setting the relevant parameters, you can
use the commissioning wizard. The commissioning wizard provides a selection of parameters that you can configure in order.
A detailed description of each of the parameters can be found in the Operation [►Section 8, Page 84] chapter.
To call up the commissioning wizard, you will need the necessary access
rights [►Section 8.23, Page 227].

7.5 Function tests
Before switching from manual mode to auto mode, Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen recommends carrying out function tests. These function tests are described in the following sections. Note the following points for all function
tests:
▪ You must ensure that REMOTE mode is disabled before you can control
the on-load tap-changer manually in manual mode.
▪ You can only activate the on-load tap-changer manually in manual mode
using the and keys.
▪ You have to be logged in to the device as a user with a parameter config-
urator or administrator user role.
When in delivery status, you can log in as the administrator as follows:
▪ User name: admin
▪ Password: admin
During the function test, you must set the most important parameters. Details
on the parameters listed can be found in the Operation [►Section 8, Page
84] chapter.
7.5.1 Checking measured values and status of digital inputs and
outputs
Upon commissioning the device, check whether the measured values and
status of digital inputs and outputs are plausible. To do so, use an additional
measuring device if necessary in order to check the individual measured values.
To display the status of the digital inputs and outputs, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Information > Hardware.
2. Select the individual assemblies one after another and check the individ-
ual measured values or the status of digital inputs and outputs.
3. If errors arise, check the measurement path and the wiring [►Section 6.5,
Page 53].
7.5.2 Testing a control function
This section describes how you can check the device's control functions:
ü Supply voltage must be present.
1. Press to select manual mode.
2. Set transmission ratio for voltage transformer, current transformer, and
transformer circuit.
3. Measure actual voltage and compare with the measured value displayed
on the device's main screen.
4. Select the Measured values menu item to display the operating values
for current and power and compare them with the values of the operation
measurement instruments.
5. Control the on-load tap-changer manually using the or keys
until the measured voltage U
reaches the desired voltage U

desired
("de-
sired value 1").
6. Set desired value to the value you want [►Section 8.4.1, Page 91].
7. Set bandwidth depending on step voltage [►Section 8.4.2, Page 105].
8. Set delay time T1 to 20 seconds [►Section 8.4.3, Page 106].
9. Set time response T1 to linear [►Section 8.4.3, Page 106].
10. Press to raise the on-load tap-changer 1 step.
11. Press to select auto mode.
ð If the actual voltage is outside the bandwidth, the device returns the
on-load tap-changer to the original operating position after 20 seconds.
12. Press to select manual mode.
13. Press to lower the on-load tap-changer 1 step.
14. Press to select auto mode.
ð If the actual voltage is outside the bandwidth, the device returns the
on-load tap-changer to the original operating position after 20 seconds.
15. Press to select manual mode.
16. Set delay time T2 to 10 seconds and activate it [►Section 8.4.4, Page
108].
17. Press twice to raise the on-load tap-changer 2 steps.
18. Press to select auto mode.
ð If the actual voltage is outside the bandwidth, after 20 seconds the de-
vice lowers the on-load tap-changer one step and after another 10
seconds another step.
19. Press to select manual mode.
20. Set delay time T1 [►Section 8.4.3, Page 106] and delay time T2 [►Section 8.4.4, Page 108] to the desired value.
We recommend a temporary setting of 100 seconds for delay time T1 when
commissioning the transformer. Depending on the operating conditions, you
can also specify the delay time following a longer observation period. In this
regard, it is useful to register how the actual voltage progresses and the
number of tap-change operations per day.
7.5.3 Checking parallel operation
This section describes how you can run the function test for parallel operation.
Requirements To obtain perfect functioning in parallel operation, the TAPCON® must be
commissioned in simplex mode. Make sure that the conditions below have
been fulfilled.
▪ All TAPCON® units are set to the same operating parameters for "desired
value" and "delay time T1" [►Section 8.4.3, Page 106]
▪ "Activate parallel operation" [►Section 8.11.2.1, Page 141] parameter set
to ON
▪ Parallel operation method selected.
▪ A different CAN bus address [►Section 8.11.2.3, Page 142] (≠ 0) is set
for all TAPCON®
▪ The same parallel operation group input is set for all TAPCON®
7.5.3.1 Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity
This section describes how you set the circulating reactive current sensitivity
to check the function of the "circulating reactive current minimization" parallel
operation method.
Note that the following prerequisites must be met for the "circulating reactive
current minimization" parallel operation method:
▪ You have to use current transformers with the same rated values for all
transformers in parallel operation.
▪ If you wish to operate in parallel operation with existing devices, you have
to activate the Retrofit TAPCON® 2xx [►Section 8.11.3, Page 144] parameter.
Consult the section Circulating reactive current minimization for more information.
To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows:
1. Select the "Circulating reactive current" parallel operation method.
2. Set circulating reactive current sensitivity to a value of 0%.
3. If necessary, activate the Retrofit TAPCON® 2xx function [►Section
8.11.3, Page 144].
4. Adjust both transformers in simplex mode to the same actual voltage using on-load tap-changers.
5. Connect the transformers in parallel and enable the parallel control.
ð The status display in the Parallel operation menu lights up blue.
ð The two TAPCON® must be within the bandwidth.
6. Set the desired value of both TAPCON® to the voltage currently measured [►Section 8.4.1, Page 91].
7. On one of the two transformers, raise the tap position of the on-load tapchanger by one setting; on the second transformer, lower the tap position
of the on-load tap-changer by one setting.
ð The two TAPCON® are still within the bandwidth.
8. Increase the circulating reactive current sensitivity in small steps until the
control deviation dU in the main screen is outside the bandwidth (depending on TAPCON® greater than or less than the bandwidth).
9. Press to select auto mode for all TAPCON® units.
ð All of the TAPCON® units return the on-load tap-changer units to the
original tap positions.
If an on-load tap-changer does not switch back to its original tap position,
you have to increase the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
If one of the on-load tap-changer units switches one or more tap positions
higher and the other switches the same amount lower, you need to reduce
the circulating reactive current sensitivity.
After you have set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, continue with
the function test for the circulating reactive current blocking limit described in
the next section.
7.5.3.2 Testing the circulating reactive current blocking limit
This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive
current blocking.
ü Set the circulating reactive current blocking limit to a value of 20%.
1. Press on a TAPCON® to select manual mode.
2. Using manual control, adjust the relevant motor-drive unit upwards (for example 1...2 steps) by the maximum permitted tap difference in operating
positions between the parallel operating transformers.
When setting the circulating reactive current blocking in the following
process step, wait approximately 2 to 3 seconds between the individual
steps.
3. In the Parallel operation > Parallel operation method menu item, set
the circulating reactive current parallel operation method.
4. Reduce the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter from the
set value of 20% in steps of 1% until the message Circulating reactive cur-rent blocking limitexceeded is displayed.
ð Any further regulation is blocked.
ð After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message has
elapsed, the circulating reactive current blocking message is displayed.
5. Increase the circulating reactive current blocking limit parameter again until the message Circulating reactive current limit exceeded disappears.
6. Press to select auto mode.
ð The motor-drive unit automatically returns to the original operating posi-
tion.
7. Set the value determined for the "circulating reactive current blocking
limit" for the TAPCON® units in parallel operation as well.
If one TAPCON® or all of the TAPCON® units indicate Circulating reactivecurrent blocking limit exceeded even though the control inputs are correctly
connected for all TAPCON® units, all of the TAPCON® units block.
This could be due to various causes. Further information is given in the
chapter Troubleshooting [►Section 10, Page 268].
ð The function test for the circulating reactive current blocking limit is com-
plete.
7.5.3.3 Checking tap synchronization method
This section describes how to run the function test for tap synchronization
(master/follower).
In parallel operation in accordance with the Automatic tap synchronization method, the tap positions of the transformers running in parallel are
compared. It is therefore necessary that the transformers have the same
position designation and that the Raise and Lower signals produce the
same voltage change in all transformers.
NOTICE
Damage resulting from formation of circulating reactive current
If the parameters are not set correctly, damage may result from the formation of circulating reactive current and the resulting overload of transmission
lines and transformers.
► Check transformer nameplate.
► Set TAPCON® parameters in accordance with the configuration of the
transformers.
Before starting the function test, you must carry out the following steps:
1. Assign the master function to one TAPCON®.
2. Assign the follower function to the other TAPCON® units.
3. Compare the tap position displays of master and follower . All of
the TAPCON® units must display the same tap position. If this is not the
case, switch all TAPCON® units to the same tap position.

ð The follower switches to the same tap position as the master.
6. Press on the master to select auto mode.
7. Press on the follower to select manual mode.
8. Press or on the follower to manually change the tap position.
ð After expiry of the set delay time for parallel operation errors [►Section
8.11.2.8, Page 144], there is a tap difference from the follower to the
master.
9. Press several times on the follower to manually increase the tap
position by the number of permitted steps ("Maximum permitted tap difference") and then one further step.
ð After expiry of the set delay time for parallel operation errors, there is a
tap difference to follower on the master.
ð After expiry of the set delay time for parallel operation errors, there is a
tap difference to master on the follower.
10. Press on the follower to select auto mode.
ð There is no response. All devices remain blocked.
11. Press on the master and follower to select manual mode.
12. Press or on the master and follower to manually set the
desired step.
ð The function tests for the tap synchronization method are complete.
Installation and commissioning of the device is complete.

8.4.1.6 Active power-dependent adjustment of desired voltage value
The TAPCON® Dynamic Setpoint Control (TDSC) function is used to adapt
the desired voltage value depending on the measured active power. This allows you to compensate for a voltage drop during increased load or an increase in voltage due to a decentralized feed-in.
Depending on whether positive or negative active power is measured, the
desired value calculation is based on 2 linear equations (see example in diagram below).

To activate the active power-dependent adjustment of the desired voltage
value, you need to set the following parameters:
You have to set the parameters for both winding 1 (W1) and winding 2
(W2).
Activating TDSC
The TDSC function is only active when the device can calculate the active
power (correct current measurement and voltage measurement) and the required parameters are set. If this isn't done, the voltage is regulated to the
set desired value [►Section 8.4.1.1, Page 91]. You can activate or deactivate the power-dependent adjustment of the desired voltage value as follows:
▪ Parameter
▪ Digital inputs TDSC on and TDSC off (optional)
