3.1 Performance
features
The voltage regulator is responsible for controlling tapped transformers.
Apart from control tasks, the voltage regulator provides additional functions
such as:
Integrated protective functions:
Undervoltage and overcurrent blocking
Overvoltage detection with high-speed return
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 for freely selectable
functions
Display of all measured values such as voltage, current, active power, ap-
parent power or reactive power, power factor (cos
φ
)
Plug terminals make it easier to connect the cables
Selection of 3 different desired values
3.1.1 Operating
