 Paralleling Regulators

2 situations to consider :
• Continuous Parallel operation (in substation)
• Tying Feeders through N.O. point (or with Bus Tie switch)

 Paralleling Regulators

Simplified Diagram – 2 Voltage sources, 2 Impedances

Must have:
• Same %Z
V
• Same turns ratio

Regulators must use a “Leader-

V Follower” control setup

How do you set the Regulators ?

Block Regulators (at least one)
-Match Tap position? What tap?
-Match Voltage? Where?
-Impedance is your friend

 Bypassing a Regulator

Definition: Bypassing means installing a regulator

or removing a regulator from service.

! Warning!
Installing or removing the regulator with the tap changer
off neutral will short circuit part of the series winding!
Before bypassing, the regulator must be in neutral.

 Bypassing a Regulator
Prior to Bypassing
 Place the regulator in neutral position
 A minimum of four indications are recommended
for neutral determination.

– Neutral lamp is “on” continuously

Tap Position
At Limit
0
– Verify the tap position of the control indicates Neutral
P.I. ADD-AMP -16, 16

– Position indicator is in neutral position

– Verify that there is no voltage difference

between the S and L bushings

 Bypassing a Regulator
Prior to Bypassing

 Take action to prevent the tap changer motor operation

• Power switch is OFF

• ‘Auto/Off/Manual’ switch is OFF

• Remove motor fuse

• V1 & V6 knife switches are OPEN
