to the
TCO
input. If the signal is active (=TRUE) for more than 15 seconds after the
control pulse has been deactivated, an alarm is generated (
Chapter 9.10.5.11 Alarm
indication
). If the
TCO
input is not connected, no alarm is generated.
The control operation is disabled when the
TCO
input signal is active, unless no tap
changer stuck is detected (
Chapter 9.10.5.11 Alarm indication
). Thus, the controller
cannot send new pulses to the tap changer when this is already operating because
tap changers are typically immune to new pulses when they operate. Furthermore,
because the pulses are omitted, the tap changer pulse counter of the controller is
not incremented.
The commands are not tolerated during an active pulse. Therefore the command
pulse length (setting
LTC pulse time) has to be carefully selected, although an
active
TCO
input is used internally to prevent new commands from reaching the tap
changer.
To be more certain that no new pulses are sent when the tap changer is in
operation, the tap changer operating signal can be connected to the
LTC_BLOCK
input. In this case, external blocking is achieved when an automatic pulse is sent to
the operating tap changer. By default, the external
LTC_BLOCK
has no effect when
the active operation mode is set to "Manual" or "Parallel manual".
The status of the
TCO
input can be read from the
TCO
input data.
9.10.5.10 Blocking scheme
The operation of the voltage regulator can be blocked for several reasons. The
purpose of blocking is to prevent the tap changer from operating under conditions
that can damage the tap changer or exceed other power system limits. The
BLK_STATUS monitored data does not imply actual blocking but reveals if the
coming command pulse is issued or not. The blocking itself happens when the
corresponding bit in the signal BLK_STATUS is active and the command pulse is
started due to a timer elapse or a local command. This is to avoid unnecessary event
sending.
The BLK_STATUS monitored data is also packed. It contains information about the
blocking status as bit-coded output. The block status output does not indicate
the actual blocking but indicates if the coming command is successful. The
actual blocking is indicated by the corresponding output (
BLKD_I_LOD
,
BLKD_U_UN
,
RNBK_U_OV
,
BLKD_LTCBLK
,
BLKD_I_CIR
,
BLK_RAISE
and
BLK_LOWER
) values.
Table

illustrates the meaning of different monitored data values. For example, block
status value 9 indicates that there are conditional circulating current and load
current blockings (8 + 1 = 9) indicated. By default, the status is “0”.
