Function description of the voltage regulation

3.2
The TAPCON® 260 serves to keep constant the output voltage of a bank of transformers with on-load tap-changers. The bank of transformers consists of 3 single-phase transformers, each with an on-load tap-changer and mo­tor-drive unit.
The TAPCON® 260 compares the measured voltage of the bank of trans­formers (U tween U
) with a defined reference voltage (U
actual
actual
and U
is the control deviation (dU).

). The difference be-
desired
The TAPCON® 260 parameters can be optimally adjusted to the line voltage response to achieve a balanced control response with a small number of tap-change operations by the on-load tap-changer.
The following diagram shows an overview of voltage regulation.

The TAPCON® 260 is responsible for controlling tapped transformers in a bank of transformers.
Apart from control tasks, the TAPCON® 260 provides additional functions such as:
▪ Integrated protective functions:
– Undervoltage blocking and overvoltage blocking
– Overvoltage detection with high-speed return ▪ Compensation for voltage drops on the line (line drop compensation) ▪ Compensation for voltage fluctuations in the meshed grid (Z compensa-
tion) ▪ Digital inputs and outputs can be individually programmed on-site by the
user ▪ Additional indicators using LEDs outside the display ▪ Display of all measured values such as voltage, current, active power,
apparent power or reactive power, power factor (cos φ) ▪ Selection of 3 different desired values ▪ When ordering you can choose between tap position capture:
– using analog signal 4…20 mA
– using analog signal via resistor contact series
– using digital signal via BCD code ▪ Parallel operation of up to 16 banks of transformers in 2 groups using
the following methods:
– Master/Follower
– Circulating reactive current minimization

Connecting device

The following section describes how to establish the electrical connection to the device.
Electric shock
Risk of fatal injury due to connection mistakes ► Ground the device with a protective conductor using the grounding
screw on the housing.
► Note the phase difference of the secondary terminals for the current
transformer and voltage transformer.
► Connect the output relays correctly to the motor-drive unit.
Supply the voltage via separators and ensure that current paths can be short circuited. Fit the separator, clearly labeled, near the device's power supply so that it is freely accessible. This will allow the device to be re­placed with ease in the event of a defect.

Cable recommendation

Please note the following recommendation from Maschinenfabrik Reinhau­sen when wiring the device.
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 lines on the func­tion of the relay contacts.

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.
Please note the following: ▪ 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 which could damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating when laying or could place mechanical loading on the coating
later on. ▪ Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets for example.
Lay the reserve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted
when tightened.

NOTICE
Information about shielding the CAN bus
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. Fiber optic cables decouple the voltage regulators and are not sensitive to electro­magnetic interferences (surge and burst).
Damage to the device
If you connect the CAN bus cable to devices with different potential, current may flow over the shielding. This current may damage the device.
► Connect the devices to a potential compensation rail to compensate for
potential.
► If both devices have different potentials, only connect the CAN bus ca-
ble's 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 compensation rail to compensate for the potential.
2. Connect CAN bus cable's shielding to all connected devices.

Checking parallel operation of several banks of transformers

This section describes how you can run the function test for parallel opera­tion of several banks of transformers .
Requirements
To obtain perfect functioning in parallel operation, the voltage regulator must be commissioned in simplex mode. Make sure that the conditions below have been fulfilled.
▪ All motor-drive units of the banks of transformers (ED1...ED3) are in the
same tap position.
▪ All devices are set to the same operating parameters for desired value,
circulating reactive current sensitivity and delay time T1.
▪ The circulating reactive current sensitivity on all devices must be set to
0 %.
▪ The circulating reactive current blocking parameter must be set to
20 %.
▪ You must undertake all settings in manual mode. ▪ Each device needs an individual address on the CAN bus.
5.3.3.1
Checking circulating reactive current sensitivity
This section describes how to run the function test for circulating reactive current sensitivity.
1. Adjust both transformers in simplex mode to the same actual voltage by means of the on-load tap-changer.
ð When both devices are in a state of equilibrium, then the value of
the control deviation dV [%] is smaller than the set bandwidth. You can see this in the main screen if the mark for the measured volt­age U
is within the bandwidth.
actual
2. Connect the transformers in parallel and enable the parallel control.
ð The two devices must still be in a state of equilibrium. ð The Parallel operation LED on the front panel is illuminated.

3. 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 devices must still be in a state of equilibrium.
4. Adjust the circulating reactive current sensitivity until the result dis­played exceeds the set value for the bandwidth by approx. 0.2 % to
0.3 %. ð The value for the result changes in the help text in the last line of
the display.
5. Set the value given in the previous step for all devices in parallel opera­tion.
6. Press to select auto mode for both devices. ð The devices return the on-load tap-changer units to the original tap
positions.
ð The function test for circulating reactive current sensitivity is complete.
If the earlier tap positions are not reached, increase the value of the circulat­ing reactive current sensitivity [► 93] parameter.
If one of the two 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 value of the circulating reactive current sensitivity [► 93] parame­ter.
After you have set the circulating reactive current sensitivity parameter, continue with the circulating reactive current blocking function test described in the next section.

1. Press on one device to select manual mode.
2. Using manual control, adjust the relevant motor-drive unit upwards by the maximum permitted tap difference in operating positions between the parallel operating transformers (for example by 1 - 2 steps).
When setting the circulating reactive current blocking in the following proc­ess step, wait approx. 2 - 3 seconds between the individual steps.
3. Set the parallel operation method parameter to circulating reactive
current.

4. The circulating reactive current blocking parameter should be re­duced [► 93] from the set value of 20 % in steps of 1 % until the Par- allel operation error: circulating reactive current limit exceeded is dis­played.
ð The Parallel operation LED lights up when the circulating reactive
current blocking limit is reached.
ð Any further regulation is blocked.
5. After the set delay time for the parallel operation error message (time can be adjusted [► 95]), the signaling relay UC-X1:1/UC-X1:2 (default setting) is activated.
6. Increase the circulating reactive current blocking parameter again until the message Parallel operation error: circulating reactive current limit exceeded disappears.
7. Press to select auto mode. ð The motor-drive unit automatically returns to the original operating
position.
8. Set the value determined for the circulating reactive current blocking on the devices in parallel operation as well.
If one or all devices indicate Parallel operation error: circulating reactive cur- rent limit exceeded although the control inputs are correctly connected for all the devices, then all the devices block.
This could be due to various causes. Further information is given in the chapter Troubleshooting [► 139].

Setting motor runtime monitoring

You can use this motor runtime parameter to set the motor runtime. The mo­tor-drive unit's runtime can also be monitored by the device. This function is used to identify motor-drive unit malfunctions during the tap-change opera­tion and to trigger any actions needed.
The motor-drive unit issues the Motor-drive unit running signal during the tap-change operation. This signal is present until the tap-change operation is complete. The device compares the duration of this signal with the set motor runtime. If the set motor runtime is exceeded, the device triggers the follow­ing actions:
1. Motor runtime monitoring message is issued
2. Continuous signal via output relay Motor-drive unit runtime exceeded (optional)
3. Pulse signal via Trigger motor protective switch output relay (optional)
To use runtime monitoring, you need to correctly wire the corresponding control input and parameterize to Motor running. The motor runtime must al­so be set.
If you want to monitor the motor runtime, the device and motor-drive unit must be connected and parameterized as shown below.

Setting desired value 1...3

You can use this parameter to set up to 3 desired voltage values U desired voltage value is specified as a fixed value. The desired value 1 is the default desired value. Desired values 2 and 3 are activated if there is a con­tinuous signal at factory-preset control inputs IO-X1:31 or IO-X1:33 provided you have programmed these previously. If there is a signal at several control inputs at the same time, desired value 2 is activated.

Options for setting the
desired values
Reference of kV and V for
voltage transformer
The device provides the following ways of changing the desired voltage val­ue during operation:
▪ Using the control parameters menu item via the operating screen ▪ Using binary inputs ▪ Using control system protocols if a communication card is ready for op-
eration
Desired values set in kV refer to the primary voltage of the voltage trans­former. Desired values set in V refer to the secondary voltage of the voltage transformer. The transformer data must be entered correctly for this display.
To set the desired value, proceed as follows:
1. > Parameter > Control parameter > Press until the desired parameter is displayed.
2. If you have already entered the transformer data, press to select the unit you want: "V" or "kV".

Bandwidth

You can use this parameter to set the maximum permissible deviation in measured voltage U
. The deviation relates to the activated desired value.

The following sections describe how you determine and set the bandwidth required.

Setting delay time T1

Use this parameter to set delay time T1. This function delays the issuing of a tap-change command for a defined period. This prevents unnecessary tap­change operations if the tolerance bandwidth is exited.

Linear control response T1
Integral control response
T1

Setting control response T1

The control response T1 can be set to linear or integral.
With linear control response, the device responds with a constant delay time regardless of the control deviation.
With integral control response, the device responds with a variable delay time depending on the control deviation. The greater the control deviation (ΔV) in relation to the set bandwidth (B), the shorter the delay time. The de­lay time can therefore be reduced down to 1 second. This means that the device responds faster to large voltage changes in the grid. Regulation accu­racy improves as a result but the frequency of tap-changes increases too.

Setting delay time T2

With this parameter, you can set delay time T2. Delay time T2 is used to compensate for large control deviations faster.
The delay time T2 only takes effect if more than one tap-change operation is required to return the voltage to within the set bandwidth. The first output pulse occurs after the set delay time T1. After the set tap-change delay time T2 has elapsed, additional pulses occur in order to correct the existing con­trol deviation.
The following requirements must be noted to set delay time T2: ▪ The delay time T2 must be greater than the switching pulse time. ▪ The delay time T2 must be greater than the maximum operating time of
the motor-drive unit.
▪ The delay time T2 must be less than the value set for delay time T1.

Compensation

You can use the "Compensation" function to compensate for the load-de­pendent voltage drop between the transformer and consumer. The device provides 2 methods of compensation for this purpose:
▪ R&X compensation (line drop compensation) ▪ Z compensation
6.7.1
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 752374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260

R&X compensation

R&X compensation (LDC) requires exact cable data. Line voltage drops can be compensated very accurately using LDC.
To set R&X compensation correctly, you need to calculate the ohmic and in­ductive voltage drop in V with reference to the secondary side of the voltage transformer. You also need to correctly set the transformer circuit used.

Checking the limit values
For the check, the measured voltage of the device is transmitted to the device via a second separate measurement input and vice versa. The
calculated measured voltage is compared with the original measured values via the CAN bus. If the measured values deviate, the Measured value error message is issued.
When checking the limit values, one device transmits a measured voltage to the other via the second separate measurement input. You can set the fol­lowing limit values for this measured value:
▪ Separate desired value [► 80] ▪ Undervoltage limit value [► 81] ▪ Overvoltage limit value [► 82]
As soon as one of the set limit values is exceeded, once the set delay time for the error message [► 83] has lapsed, the Measured value error mes­sage is output. If wired accordingly, relay contacts can block the raise/lower pulse to the motor-drive unit. Regulation of individual devices is not affected by limit value monitoring.

Conditions for parallel
operation

Parallel operation of several banks of transformers

In the Parallel operation menu item, you can set the parameters needed for parallel operation of banks of transformers. Parallel operation of banks of transformers is used to increase the throughput capacity or short-circuit ca­pacity in one place.
Compliance with the following general conditions is required for operating banks of transformers in parallel:
▪ Identical rated voltage ▪ Transformer power ratio (< 3 : 1) ▪ Maximum deviation of short-circuit voltages (UK) for transformers con-
nected in parallel < 10 %
▪ Same number of switching groups
You can control up to 16 banks of transformers connected in parallel in one or 2 groups without detecting the system topology. Information is swapped between the voltage regulators operating in parallel using the CAN bus. Par­allel operation is activated using one of 2 status inputs or the control system.
Parallel control can take one of two forms: ▪ Parallel operation following the "Circulating reactive current minimiza-
tion" principle
▪ Parallel operation following the "Tap synchronization" (master/follower)
principle
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters.
6.10.1
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 912374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260

Assigning CAN bus address

You can use this parameter to assign a CAN bus address to the device. So that all devices can communicate using the CAN bus, each device requires a unique identifier. Addresses can be set from 1 to 16. If the value is set to 0, then no communication takes place.
To enter the CAN bus address, proceed as follows:

3. Press .
ð The CAN bus address is saved.
6.10.2
6.10.2.1

Selecting parallel operation method

You can use this parameter to select a parallel operation method. Two differ­ent methods can be assigned to the device.
▪ Circulating reactive current minimization ▪ Tap synchronization (master/follower)
You must select the same parallel operation method for all voltage regula­tors operating in parallel.
The following sections describe how you can set the parameters for a paral­lel operation method.
Setting circulating reactive current method
When the circulating reactive current parallel operation method is select­ed, then parallel operation is carried out using the circulating reactive current minimization method. The circulating reactive current is calculated from the transformer currents and their phase angles. A voltage proportional to the circulating reactive current is added to the independently operating voltage regulators as a correction for the measurement voltage. This voltage correc­tion can be reduced or increased using the circulating reactive current sensi­tivity setting.
The circulating reactive current method is suited to transformers connected in parallel with a similar nominal output and short-circuit voltage VK and to vector groups with the same and different step voltages. This does not re­quire any information about the tap position.
To set the circulating reactive current parallel operation method, proceed as follows:
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 201492 2374092/04 ENTAPCON® 260
Page 93
6 Functions and settings
1. > Configuration > Parallel operation. ð Parallel operation method.
2. Press or until circulating reactive current appears in the dis­play.
3. Press .
ð The parallel operation method is set.
When using the circulating reactive current parallel operation method, you have to set the parameters for the circulating reactive current sensitivity and circulating reactive current blocking.
Setting circulating reactive current sensitivity
The circulating reactive current sensitivity is a measure of its effect on the behavior of the voltage regulator. At a setting of 0 % no effect is present. With circulating reactive current relating to the rated current of the current transformer, if you set the value to 10 % for example, this would cause the voltage in the voltage regulator to be corrected by 10 %. This correction to the voltage can be increased or decreased with this setting to attain the opti­mum value.
As soon as you change the circulating reactive current sensitivity value, the value for the result changes in the help text in the display.
To set the circulating reactive current sensitivity, proceed as follows:
1. > Configuration > Parallel operation > Press until the desired parameter is displayed.
ð Stability.
2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.
3. If necessary, press to highlight the decimal place. ð The decimal place is now highlighted and the value can be
changed.
4. Press .
ð The circulating reactive current sensitivity is set.
Setting circulating reactive current blocking
You can use this parameter to set the limit value for the maximum permissi­ble circulating reactive current. If, during parallel operation, the circulating re­active current exceeds the set limit value, then the following event is activat­ed:
▪ Problem with parallel operation
All devices operating in parallel are blocked. Depending on the set delay time for the parallel operation error message, the signaling relay Problem with parallel operation is activated.
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen 2014 932374092/04 EN TAPCON® 260
Page 94
6 Functions and settings
To set the blocking limit for the maximum permitted circulating reactive cur­rent, proceed as follows:
1. > Configuration > Parallel operation > Press until the desired parameter is displayed.
ð Blocking.
2. Press to increase the value or to reduce it.
3. Press .
ð The blocking limit for the maximum permitted circulating reactive current
is set.
6.10.2.2
Setting tap synchronization
With the tap synchronization method, you need to designate one voltage regulator as the master and all others as followers. The master handles volt­age regulation and transmits its latest tap positions to all followers via the CAN bus. The followers compare the tap position received with their own tap position. If the set permissible tap difference between the tap position re­ceived and their own position is exceeded, the followers switch to the tap po­sition received from the master. This ensures that the transformers operating in parallel are always in the same tap position.
For the tap synchronization method, you can select the following options:
Option Description
Master The voltage regulator is designated as the master. Follower The voltage regulator is designated as the follower. Sync.auto Automatic assignment of master or follower.
If no master is detected, the voltage regulator with the lowest CAN bus address is automatically designated as the master. All other voltage regulators are desig­nated as followers.
Table 22: Tap synchronization method
In parallel operation, an individual CAN bus address must be assigned to each voltage regulator. Up to 16 CAN participants are supported.
Proceed as follows to set the tap synchronization method:
1. > Configuration > Parallel operation. ð Parallel operation method.
2. Press or to select the option you want.
3. Press .
ð The tap synchronization method is selected.

Selecting parallel operation control

As an option, the device can be fitted with a plug-in card for parallel opera­tion with an existing parallel operation control unit when extending existing systems. You can connect the following parallel operation control units:
▪ SKB 30E ▪ VC 100E-PM/PC
The settings required for parallel control must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant valid operating instructions of the parallel operation control unit.
If you do not have a parallel control unit, in the SKB parallel operation dis­play you must select the Off selection. The possible selections are described in more detail in the table below.

2. Press or to set the option you want.
3. Press .
ð The type of parallel control is set.

Setting delay time for parallel operation error messages

You can use this parameter to set the delay time for a parallel operation er­ror message so that brief fault messages are not received if the motor-drive units involved in the parallel operation have different runtimes. Once the set delay time has elapsed, the event is issued at the output relay. Automatic regulation is blocked and the on-load tap-changers can only be adjusted in manual mode.
To set the delay time for the parallel operation error message, proceed as follows:
