Nameplates

Two anodized aluminum nameplates are provided as

standard; refer to

Figure 8

and

Figure 9

. One nameplate

is placed on the regulator tank. The other is placed on the

control box door. Nameplates provide information necessary

for proper control function. Information such as CT ratio,

PT ratio, regulator type, and tap-changer type can be found

on the nameplates. When a control is delivered mounted

onto a regulator, the nameplate data will be programmed

into the control at the factory. It is recommended that

this information be verified prior to placing the control and

regulator into service. When calling Eaton for service or

support-related issues, have the catalog number and serial

number found on the nameplate for reference.

Mounting

Regulators with over-head bushings can be mounted on

a pole, a cross-arm platform, or an elevating structure.

Regulators are normally provided with either pole-mounting

brackets or a substation base according to their rating. An

elevating structure can be provided to simplify substation

installation of regulators requiring a specific live part-to-

ground clearance.
The regulator control can be mounted on the regulator

tank or at a point remote from the unit. Various lengths of

rubber-coated control cables are available up to 120 feet

(36.6 meters).
