1 Warnings and Information
The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

is exclusively designed for implementation in systems and
equipment incorporating electrical energy technology on which
only trained experts are permitted to carry out all required work.
Experts are persons who are familiar with the installation,
mounting, commissioning and operation of these types of
products. Furthermore, experts have qualifications which
comply with their field of work.
has been designed and tested in accordance with all important
electrical safety regulations and left the factory in perfect
condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe
operation, the following instructions and warnings in this
operating manual must be observed.
❑ The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring has been designed to comply with IEC 10110/
EN61010 (DIN VDE 0411), degree of protection I and was
tested according to this standard before delivery.
❑ The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring must be earthed via a protective earth
conductor. This condition is fulfilled when the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is connected to
an auxiliary voltage with a protective earth conductor
(European power supply system). If the auxiliary voltage
power supply system does not have a protective earth
conductor, an additional connection must be established
from the protective earth conductor terminal to earth.
❑ The upper limit of the permissible auxiliary voltage UAUX may
not be exceeded, neither permanently nor for a short period
of time.
❑ Before changing the fuse, separate the REG-D Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring completely from
the auxiliary voltage UAUX.
The use of fuses other than those of the indicated type and
rated current is prohibited.
❑ A REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring which displays visible damage or clear
malfunctioning must not be used and has to be secured
against unintentionally being switched on.

REG - D™
❑ Maintenance and repair work on an opened REG-D Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring may only be
carried out by authorised experts.
Warning signs
Please familiarise yourself with the nominal insulation voltage of
the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring before
!
connecting the device.
Ensure that the voltages are connected via a disconnecting
mechanism, and that the current path can be short circuited if
there is a device fault to enable problem-free device
replacement.
This is only required if the device, including the device housing/
mounting rack, has to be disassembled. If the plug-in modules
alone are removed, the short circuit plug prevents the circuits
from being used whilst open.
When wiring, please ensure that the conductors are either
bound short or kept sufficiently short, so that they can neither
come into contact with the connecting elements (plugs,
terminals etc.) nor the stripped conductor ends of circuits with
a low nominal insulation voltage. If this is not ensured, a self-
feeding voltage may form when an error occur, turning the
originally safe low voltage circuits (e.g. mA outputs) into ones
that are dangerous if touched.

Note
In the standard version, the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is supplied with only one
voltage transformer (U1). A second voltage transformer
(U2) can optionally be supplied that can operate either
together with U1 in a V-circuit or when electronically
isolated from U1. If operating only with U1, the
measuring voltage (command variable) must always be
connected to pins 20 and 22.
The two voltage transformers U1 and U2 can also be
used to regulate the triple-wound transformers.
However, in all cases additional consultation is
necessary.

Note
For parameterisation at a later date or for alterations,
ensure that inputs b24 ... z32 (48 V ... 230 V) are
designated as
E17 ... E24 and inputs b2 ... z16 (10 V ... 48 V) as
E25 ... E32. If feature T1 is included in the scope of
delivery, the inputs are normally prepared for switching
with BCD signals (refer to tables).
The inputs can be used for a variety of other functions
using setup 5 of the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring.
If the BCD signal is only in the range 10 V ... 48 V, inputs E25 ...
E30 must also be configured as BCD inputs using setup 5 or
WinREG.

Note
The analogue inputs and outputs can be adjusted to the
appropriate measuring tasks via SETUP 6, F1, F5 on the
keypad, or − far more elegantly − by using WinREG.
In principle, all the analogue measurement quantities (U,
I, P, Q, S, ...) that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can measure can be output as
mA values. This means the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can be used as a cost-effective
transducer without requiring additional space.
In some cases an adjustment using additional
background programs may be required. In this case we
recommend contacting our headquarters.
Quasi-analogue signals, e.g. tap-changing, can also be
output as analogue values if required.
To upgrade the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring at a later point, the input and output modules
must be connected to the REG-CPU terminal block with
two channels each (see “Updating Analogue Inputs,
Outputs, Tap-Change Potentiometer Input” on page
215).

4.2 Operating principle

The operation of the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is completely menu-guided and is
principally the same for each menu item in the “SETUP” menu.
The following operating principles apply for setting or changing
the regulation parameters:
➪ “MANUAL OPERATION MODE”
changes the operation mode to manual operation
➪ “MENU” MENU
Access list of operating modes
➪ “MENU” MENU
selects the menu item “SETUP”
➪ “MENU” can be used to scroll through the pages of the

MENU
“SETUP” menu selection until the required parameter

appears on the display.
➪ Select a parameter via the corresponding function key

(“F1” to “F5”).
➪ Set the value of the parameter via the function keys.

“F1” F1
increases the value in large steps
“F2” F2
increases the value in small steps
“F4” F4
increases the value in small steps
“F5” F5
decreases the value in large steps
➪ In some of the “SETUP” menus “F3” F3
has a special
function.
➪ After entering a value, the changed value must be

confirmed by pressing the “RETURN” key.
➪ Enter password (see “Password request” on page 91).

➪ Return or leave the “SETUP” menus using “ESC (ABORT)”
ESC

REG - D™
➪ The “SETUP” menus will be automatically exited if no key is
pressed for approx. 15 seconds.
➪ Once the desired parameters have been entered, checked,

and confirmed with “RETURN” , the REG-D Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be switched
back into automatic operation mode using “AUTOMATIC
OPERATION MODE” .
AUTO
4.3 Selecting the display mode

After pressing the “MENU” key, the display modes of the
MENU
REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can

be selected.
The following modes are available:
❑ Regulator mode
❑ Transducer mode
❑ Recorder mode
❑ Statistics mode
❑ ParaGramer mode
Regulator mode ➪ The “F1” F1

key is used to select the “Regulator Mode”.
The display indicates the set setpoint
value in V (kV) and as a percentage of
the nominal voltage, the momentary
actual value, the value of the
permissible regulative deviation and the
current tap-changer position of the tap-
changing transformer.
In addition the current deviation of the
setpoint is indicated (by a pointer) on a
scale with a bandwidth of ± 10%.
➪ The colour of the scale’s pointer will change from
transparent to solid black if the set permissible regulative
deviation (tolerance band) is overshot or undershot.
If required, the present value of the current may also be
displayed.

REG - D™
Note
If the term “Actual Value” is displayed in capital
letters as “ACTUAL VALUE”, then the “MEASUREMENT
VALUE SIMULATION” is active!
(see page 143).
➪ The “F2” F2
key is used to select the “Transducer Transducer
Mode”. mode
When the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

carries out measurements in the Aron circuit (feature M2), a
second transducer screen can be selected to display the
measured values of the three-phase current networks loaded
according to the requirements of the user.
The second transducer screen can be selected by pressing
either the or key.

REG - D™
The third transducer screen may be selected by pressing either
the or key.
In the transducer mode, only the reactive current I sinϕ of each

transformer will be displayed. However, it is not possible to
determine on the basis of this display which share of the current
pertains to the load and which pertains to the reactive current.
Therefore, for parallel switching it is useful to display the
reactive current.
The circulating active current Icirc indicates the share of the
current that is “circulating” in the parallel-switched
transformers, not the share taken up by the load.
The quasi-analogue scale illustrates the relationship between
the circulating reactive current “Icirc” and the permissible
circulating reactive current “perm. Icirc”.
If the circulating current becomes zero, the quotient will also
become zero and the pointer will be positioned in the middle of
the scale.
However, generally speaking, this ideal situation can in practice
only then be reached when the parallel-switched transformers
exhibit the same electrical features.

REG - D™
➪ The “F3” F3
key is used to select the “Recorder Mode”. Recorder mode
As standard, every Relay
for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is
equipped with a DEMO Present
recorder (feature: DEMO in value
the lower left corner of the
grid).
Above the grid, the set
permissible regulative
deviation is displayed by means of two black arrows. In this
manner, the recorder display is capable of supplying all of the
information needed for operating the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring (see “LCD Display Recorder Mode”
on page 44).
In addition to the value of the actual voltage and the tap-
changer position (in the lower left-hand corner), the display also
indicates the permissible regulative deviation (black arrows
above the grid) and the change of the voltage over a period of
time (past values).
Within the grid, the actual voltage is the value which intersects
the lower line of the two parallel border lines at the top of the
grid.
Independent of the selected feedrate speed (F4), the memory
stores values at a constant rate of 1 second.
Each 1 second value is composed of 10 100ms values.
Seven scale divisions are available in total on the display. Thus,
a maximum time range of 7 x 10 minutes (70 minutes) may be
shown on the screen.
The shortest time range with the biggest optical resolution is 7
x 14 seconds (98 seconds).
Apart from the voltage, the recorder can also record the current
and the angle ϕ. The tap-changer position and the setpoint
value with tolerance band are always recorded as well.
In the second recorder menu (F3-F3), the desired mode can be
selected via the menu item “Number of channels” (F4). It is
possible to change modes at any time without loss of data.
Displaying the recorder data

In the first recorder menu (F3), the menu item “Dual Display” (F4)
can be used to switch the recorder display between the one-

REG - D™
channel display of U and the two-channel display of U (left) and
I (right). The time axis is the same for both curves; dx only

Derived variables from the recorder data

In the first recorder menu (F3,F3), the
menu item “MMU display” (F5) can be
used to switch the display of variables
derived from the cursor value (at the
very top) on and off.
If only two recorder channels (U+I) have
been selected (second recorder menu
(F3,F3,F4)), I and S will be displayed as
numeric values.
If all three recorder channels (U + I + ϕ) are activated, then I, ϕ,
P and Q will be displayed as numeric values.
It is also possible to search for an event in the second recorder
menu. If both the date and the time of a certain event are
known, this data can be selected in the “Time Search”
submenu of the second recorder menu.
After returning to the recorder main menu (by pressing F3 or
Enter), the recorder lists the selected time and displays all of the
selected electrical measured values as well as the
corresponding tap-changes.

➪ The “F4” F4
key is used to select the “Statistics Statistics mode

The total number of tap-changes made
since the counter was last set to zero is
shown on the display. Thus tap-
changes made under load and tap-
changes made with a load of less than
5% of the nominal current In (1 A or 5 A)
are distinguishable.
Changes made under load are
additionally displayed for each tap-
change.
Note
If the tap-changer is working under load (I > 0.05 ⋅ In), a
double arrow >> indicates the present tap-changer
position.
If the load condition is not fulfilled, the present tap-
changer position will be indicated by a single arrow “>”.
In conjunction with the recorder, the statistics mode provides

valuable information regarding the controlled system.
The parameters “Time factor” and “Permissible regulative
deviation” can be used to reach an optimum between the
voltage stability and the number of tap-changes. However, this
relation cannot be calculated mathematically as it is subject to
the individual conditions at the respective feeding point.
➪ The “F5” F5
key is used to select the “Paragramer Paragramer

The artificial word PARAGRAMER is
derived from the terms parallel and

The PARAGRAMER displays the
switching status of the individual transformers in one-line
graphics and can be loaded by pressing the F5 key in the main
menu.

The function is activated by feeding a complete busbar replica
(positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and
bus couplings) into each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring by means of binary inputs.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the system can
independently recognise which transformer should work in
parallel operation with which other transformer(s) on a busbar.
The system treats busbars connected via bus couplings as one
single busbar.
As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are
working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding into
busbar “b”.
If special crosslinks are needed

between the busbars, we recommend

5 Commissioning
This chapter will help you to become familiar with the REG-D
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as quickly
as possible.
The following will summarise each parameterisation step that is
required during the commissioning stage and indicate the
appropriate chapter in this operating manual where further
information can be found.
Please follow the order of the commissioning steps.
A summary of the limit values with a short explanation and links
to the appropriate chapters can be found on page 82
Whilst the parameterisation can be implemented using the
WinREG parameterisation program, this chapter only deals with
parameterisation using the device keypad.
The parameters that are particularly important for voltage
regulation will be briefly mentioned in seven steps and the
parameterisation explained.
Further settings that are required in special cases can be found
in chapter 7.
After applying the operating voltage, the
REG-D will indicate that it is in regulator mode.
Other modes, such as transducer mode, recorder mode,
statistics mode and paragramer mode, can be selected at any
time.
Therefore it is important to realise that all modes run parallel to
each other in the background. If one selects the recorder mode
(for example), the regulating tasks and all the other
paramaterised task settings will also naturally be processed.
Press MENU and then use the keys
F2 ... F5 to select the desired mode.
The individual operating modes are briefly described below.
In total, six SETUPs are designed for the parameterisation.
You can scroll through the individual SETUPs in the following
manner:
Starting at the main menu (regulator, transducer, recorder,
statistics or paragramer), press MENU to enter SETUP 1.
Repeatedly pressing the MENU key selects SETUP 2 to SETUP
6.

After the auxiliary voltage is applied, the Relay for Voltage

Control & Transformer Monitoring indicates that it is in regulator
mode.
The important parameters for assessing a regulation situation
are shown in this display mode.
The tap-changer position and the actual regulative deviation are
shown in addition to the actual voltage value. The actual
regulative deviation is shown in quasi-analogue form.
If the pointer is at “0” the actual value is the same as the
setpoint value. If the regulative deviation is within the tolerance
range the pointer is transparent. If the regulative deviation is
outside the permissible regulative deviation the pointer changes
to black.
In this way one can judge the present condition of the controlled
system at a glance.
An alternative display with additional information − the compact
display − can be selected using the F1 key.
In addition to the actual value and the tap-changer position, the
setpoint value in V (kV) and % as well as the permissible

Press MENU and then select the transducer mode using the F2

Various important measurement quantities are shown in this
mode.
The voltage, current and frequency are independent of the
connection of the measurement quantities, whereas the
outputs can only be displayed correctly when the measurement
sources are correctly entered.
The Relay with feature M1 only gives exact measurement
values in equally loaded 3-phase networks. In this case, the
transducer emanates from a symmetrical loading of all lines,
and measures only one current and one voltage.
For this reason, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring must know the source of the voltages (L1L2, L2L3,
L3L1) and currents (L1, L2, L3) in order to be able to take the
angle between the input quantities into consideration.
If measurements are to be taken in a 3-phase network loaded
according to the requirements of the user, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring must be equipped with
feature M2.

The I · sin ϕ current is particularly important for parallel-
switching transformers.

The memory capacity is more than 18.7 days, although this
time is only valid when each value measured per second differs
from the value recorded the previous second.
In practice the memory usage is such that at least a month of
data can be saved.
The saved values can either be recalled using the keypad, or
transferred to a PC and analysed there using the WinREG

5.8 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz
There are two limits for setting the regulative deviation.
One limit is determined from the acceptable voltage tolerance
specified by the consumer, the other is defined by the tap-
change increment of the transformer.
The minimum voltage range can be calculated using the
following equation:
Xwz[%] ≥ 0.6 · tap-change

increment[%]
Xwz: Permissible regulative deviation

If a regulative deviation Xwz that is smaller than the tap-change
increment of the transformer is selected, the controlled system
can never reach a stable condition; the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will continue to increment in
steps.
Please choose SETUP 1, F1.

The permissible regulative deviation can be increased using F1

and F2 and decreased using F4 and F5.
The parameter is confirmed by pressing Enter.

REG - D™
5.9 Time behaviour
The golden rule for multiple feeding points is: a calm network
As a consequence, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should be set up in such a manner that as few
switching operations as possible are carried out.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be
calmed by increasing either the permissible regulative deviation
(Xwz) or the time factor.
However, this course of action has its limits when the interests
of the recipients are violated in an impermissible manner
(voltage deviations are too large or last too long).
The standard defined reaction time tB must be changed when
using the time factor option to influence the number of
regulation events.
The default algorithm dU · t = const. ensures that small regulative
deviations may be present for a long time, before a tap-change
is triggered, whereas large deviations are rectified more quickly.
The time factor has been included as an option to influence the
reaction time tB of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring. The time factor is set to 1 as factory default. The
time tB is multiplied with the time factor and the result is the
reaction time tv of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring.
tv = tB · time factor
The value of the time factor must be multiplied with the reaction
time taken from the diagram.

offers several time programs.
In addition to the default-selected dU · t = const. integral
method, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring offers a fast integral method, a linear method and a
further method working with a fixed times that can be found
under the name CONST.
If CONST is selected, all regulative deviations that lie outside the
tolerance band and that are smaller than the selected
permissible deviation are rectified within time T1. For larger
regulative deviations, however, the time will be T2.
Example:
The selected permissible regulative deviation is ±1%.
Reaction time T1 is valid in the range from 1% to 2%. The Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring carries out tap-
changes according to the time selected for T2 if the regulative
deviation is larger than 2% (calculated from the setpoint value!).
For further information see page 247.

REG - D™
5.10 Backward high-speed switching
While the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
operating according to the algorithm dU · t = const., events will
always be regulated such that the next tap-change will be
triggered after a short time for large deviations and after a long
time for small deviations.
Example:
Permissible regulative deviation Xwz: 1%
Present regulative deviation Xw: +6%
Time factor: 1
Tap-change increment of the transformer: 1.5%
The curve below gives a time of 42 s, the time within which the
fault will be rectified.
High-speed switching can be used to reduce this time.
If, in the above example, the high-speed switching limit were set
to 6%, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
would switch the voltage back to the permissible range of the
voltage tolerance band as soon as this limit is reached and the
selected time delay for high-speed mode has passed.

5.11 Tap-changer running time
If the high-speed switching limit is reached, then the running
time of the tap-changer determines the time required for the
voltage to return to being within the tolerance band.
If the running time of the tap-changer is specified, other control
signals can be prevented from being output when the tap-
changer is running.
Old tap-changing devices in particular may occasionally
respond with an EMERGENCY STOP signal, if a further control
signal is input at the same moment that the tap-changer is
changing to a new position.
The running time of the tap-changer can be entered in menu

AddOns-1.
Please select SETUP 5, F1.
F1
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is

operating in high-speed switching mode, two seconds will be
added to the entered running time. The Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will not issue a new control
command until this entire running time has elapsed.
Note
This function will be carried out by the (PAN-D) voltage
monitoring unit if the unit is present in the regulating
system.
Extension:
Two further settings in SETUP 5 enable the running time of the
tap-changer to be monitored.

If it is specified via the REG-D menu that the current transformer
is connected to external connector L3 and that the voltage to

5.14 Inhibit low limit
Scenario:
operates with a 110 kV / 20 kV transformer.
Problems on the high voltage side cause the voltage to break
down slowly.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring rectifies
this and increases the tap-changes of the transformer, to
stabilise the voltage on the secondary side at 20 kV.
As soon as a fault on the primary side is eliminated, the primary

voltage jumps back to the original voltage value.
However, since tap changes in the direction of a higher voltage
were carried out as a result of the voltage breakdown (amongst
other things), the secondary voltage is so high that problems on
the secondary side can no longer be precluded (protective relay
triggered, etc.).
Requirement:
If the voltage that is to be regulated falls beneath a particular
limit due to a fault on the primary or secondary side, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring shouldn’t
undertake further attempts to raise the voltage.
This requirement can only be achieved using the inhibit low
limit.

F1, F2 and F4, F5 can be used to enter a percentage value

beneath which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring does not try to rectify a voltage breakdown.
As soon as the voltage increases above the entered value

5.16.1 Description of the individual settings

Setpoint value:
The value that the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should regulate the voltage to.
The setpoint value can be displayed in primary or secondary
values.
Secondary values: e.g. 100V or 110V
Primary values: e.g. 11 kV, 20 kV, 33 kV, 110 kV
The primary values can be displayed by parameterising the
transformer mounting ratio Knu (0.01 ... 4000)
Setting range of the voltage setpoint values: 60 ... 140 V
Further information: see “Setpoints” on page 105

REG - D™
Permissible regulative deviation Xwz:
Since the transformer mounting ratio of a tap-change
transformer cannot be continuously changed, there must be a
voltage range surrounding the setpoint that the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring cannot affect.
This range is designated as the permissible tolerance band or
the permissible regulative deviation.
The lower limit of the tolerance band depends on the tap-
changing increments of the transformer.
If the tolerance band is set so that it is smaller than the tap-
changing increment, then the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring “hunts” the setpoint value and
repeatedly steps away from the tolerance band in both positive
and negative directions.
If, on the other hand, the entered tolerance band is too large, it
could lead to complaints from consumers because the voltage

The entered percent value always refers to the selected

Trigger (G1):
“Triggering” describes an upper absolute voltage limit, which
causes the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
to stop carrying out tap-changes.
The limit is described on the display in plain text and if required
it can also activate a relay that either triggers a protective device
or simply delivers the information to the control panel.
operates in the normal manner if the voltage is below the limit.
The setting range of the trigger is 100 ... 150 V (can only be
entered as a secondary value!).
The voltage is to understood as the output voltage of the
voltage transformer on the secondary side of the transformer
and can only be entered as an absolute value.

REG - D™
Reason: If the “trigger” limit were based on the setpoint value
(for example) and several setpoint values were used, the trigger
limit would “wander” with the setpoint.
If, however, there is a fixed limit for the voltage above which the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is stopped
and a protective element is triggered, it is an absolute value
rather than a relative value.
Further information: see “Trigger inhibit high (highest limit value

of the voltage)” on page 113
Backward high-speed switching (G2):

If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, a particular time
program is activated. The time program defines the amount of
time that must elapse before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs the first (and possibly further)
control commands.
All time programs are based on the assumption that large
voltage deviations are rectified quickly and small deviations are
rectified slowly.
The backward high-speed switching limit defines the voltage
above which the time program is ignored and the transformer
is regulated back to the voltage band in high-speed time by the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring. The
voltage band is defined by the “permissible regulative deviation”
parameter.
The high-speed time is defined by the running time of the
transformer per switching process.
If a tap-change in operation lamp is connected, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring waits until the lamp
has turned off before the next tap-change occurs. If there is no
tap-change in operation lamp connected, the switching
frequency is determined by the maximum time TC in operation
parameter (SETUP 5, F1, F2)
Setting range: 0 ... +35% *

overvoltage occurs (LOWER)” on page 114

Forward high-speed switching (G3):
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, a particular time
program is activated. The time program defines the amount of
time that must elapse before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs the first (and possibly further)
control commands.
All time programs are based on the assumption that large
voltage deviations are rectified quickly and small deviations are

parameter (SETUP 5, F1, F2)
Setting range: -35% ... 0% *
Further information: see “High-speed switching when

undervoltage occurs (RAISE)” on page 114
Overvoltage >U (G4):

The overvoltage >U is a limit value that only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances, and that can be
parameterised if required using an LED or an output relay.
If the voltage exceeds the >U limit, all “raise” commands are
surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation if operating
with several setpoints and using an absolute value (100 V / 110
V) as the limit value for >U.

for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with the help of
the WinREG software.

6.2.2 COM 2
COM 2 is suitable for connecting a REG-D Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring or a REGSys regulation
system (several Relays and monitoring units) to a higher-level
control system.
If the COM 2 interface is used for permanent connections to a
higher-level control system, the COM 1 interface is available for
connecting a PC, a printer or a modem.
F1
F2
The standard mode is the “MODE ECL”. DCF77 is only

selectable if the time is to be synchronised via DCF77.

REG - D™
If the information of the E-LANs (LAN-L, LAN-R) is to be
rerouted to the serial interface, for example to achieve modem
transmissions on the “E-LAN level”, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring must be set to LAN-L or
LAN-R. A more detailed description has been omitted here
since these types of connections should always be realised with
the support of our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co. KG.
“PROFESSIONAL” is always the right setting for the COM, if a
PROFIBUS-DP connection is to be realised.
In this case an external PROFIBUS-DP module is controlled via
COM 1 or COM 2.
The setting ECL+HP enables output which is generated via a
background program to also be output via COM 2.
Example:
Based on the regulated voltage or the tap-changer position, a
specific text is to be output via COM 2. In this case, ECL+HP is
to be selected, since all output which is generated via a
background program is normally output via COM 1.

6.3 E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)

For background information on the “E-LAN”, please see page
258.
Every Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
two complete E-LAN interfaces.
E-LAN LEFT defines the settings for bus left
(socket connector 6, terminals b6, b8, b10 and b12 see page
33).
E-LAN RIGHT defines the settings for bus right
(socket connector 6, terminals z6, z8, z10 and z12 see page
33).
Each one of these E-LAN interfaces also functions with either a
2-wire line or 4-wire transmission technology (RS485).
Socket connector 6
BUS-L BUS-R Function 2-wire 4-wire
Terminal Terminal
b6 z6 EA+ Input and output “+” Output “+”
b8 z8 EA- Input and output “-” Output “-”
b10 z10 E+ No function Input “+”
b12 z12 E- No function Input “-”
A 2-wire line is normally used, because this is the only system

that allows one bus configuration with several stations on the
same bus line. To do so, the integrated terminating resistor of
the first and the last stations on the bus line must be switched
on. (Selection: “terminated”)

REG - D™
Normal functioning of the bus would be impossible without a
terminating resistor due to the reflections which would then
appear on the end of each line.
4-wire transmission technology must be used for long
transmission distances or if boosters (amplifiers for increasing
the signal level over very long transmission distances must be
used). The required terminating resistances will be
automatically activated (the selection “terminated” is no
longer required).

The PAN-D monitoring unit is not equipped for entering the
parameters via the screen and keypad.
If a PAN-D monitoring unit is used in connection with a REG-D
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring connected
via E-LAN, the monitoring unit “borrows” the keypad and the
screen from the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring for parameterising and displaying values.
Use the F4 key to start this process.

6.5 Status
(actual ID data of the REG-D Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring)
The menu item “Status” lists all of the information which is
important for the system identification.
In addition to the firmware version and the status of the battery,
etc., the actual input status of both input circuits is monitored
as a hexadecimal number in the REG-D status (1).
This information is particularly useful for commissioning. The
hexadecimal numbers should be interpreted as follows:
Inputs Inputs Inputs Inputs
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Signal Signal Signal Signal

Significance Significance Significance Significance
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
= HEX A = HEX F = HEX 7 = HEX D
x = ON
− = OFF
The input status shown above would be displayed in the status

as HEX AF7D.
During the initial commissioning of the Relay for Voltage Control

The U-LL voltage always corresponds to the phase-to-phase

voltage (delta voltage).
Example:
The setpoint should be 100.2 V. This value should be
simultaneously declared as the 100% value.
How to proceed: Using the keys F1, F2, F3 and F4
set the double-underlined value to
100.2 V.
Use the F3 key to set the 100.2 V
value as the 100% value
and confirm the value by pressing the
“RETURN” key.

REG - D™
7.3.2 Further setpoint values
F3
F3
Proceed accordingly with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th setpoint values.
When switching from one setpoint value to another, tap-
changing commands will also be output at the same time until
the voltage lies within the tolerance band around the new
setpoint value. The time interval between two successive tap-
changes is determined by the maximum time TC in operation
(SETUP 5, Add-On 1).
If the regulation is being operated with the PAN-D voltage
monitoring unit, the maximum time TC in operation must always
be entered directly on the PAN-D when both units are
connected via E-LAN.
Note
The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring can regulate outputs (P or Q) as well as
voltages.
This situation will always occur if a phase-shift
transformer is used.
For this reason the PQCTRL feature must be loaded.
Setpoint 3 will then become a P setpoint, and setpoint
4 will become a Q setpoint.
The individual setpoints can be selected via the binary
inputs, via the COM 1 and COM 2 interfaces or via one
of the available protocols (IEC ...., DNP, MODBUS,
SPABUS, etc).

This menu item contains parameters that cannot be assigned

parameters that could be assigned to particular parameter
groups, but which were not included where one might expect

7.14.2 Maximum time TC in operation (motor drive running
time)
F2
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be

used to monitor the running time of the motor drive (tap-
changer). If the set maximum time has run out, a signal will be
triggered. This signal can be used to switch off the motor drive.
This protects the tap-changer against passing through all
cycles.
If the PAN-D monitoring unit is connected, the maximum time
TC in operation can only be set using the PAN-D (refer to the
PAN-D operating manual). For operation without PAN-D, the
running time can be monitored via the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring. To do this, first enter the maximum
running time of the tap-changer per tap in “Add-On 1”. The
maximum time TC in operation signal can then be assigned to
an input (refer to input assignments (binary inputs) or see “Input
assignments (binary inputs)” on page 138). Finally, the message
“tap-changer interrupted” can be output via a relay output (see
“Relay assignments” on page 139).
There are two ways to parameterise the relay:
1. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F” outputs a
continuous message when the specified maximum time is
exceeded.
2. “Maximum Time of Tap-Changer in Operation-F+” outputs a
temporary message when the specified maximum time is
exceeded.

REG - D™
7.14.3 Manual/Automatic
F3
Õ
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers

two different options for switching between the Manual and
AUTOMATIC operation modes.
In addition to the options already described above, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can also naturally be
switched using the serial COM interfaces or the IEC-, DNP-...
protocols.
If you wish to use a serial connection, it is always advisable to
contact our headquarters.
Flip/Flop switching behaviour

In the “E5: PULSE” position, a pulse at input E5 (b10/z10) (see
page 26) causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to
“AUTOMATIC”. A further pulse at this input would cause a
change-over from “AUTOMATIC” back to “MANUAL”, i.e. each
pulse changes the operating mode.
Bistable Switching Behaviour

In the “E5-A/E6-H” setting, a pulse or continuous signal to
input E5 (b10/z10) (see page 26) causes a changeover from
“MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”. Further signals do not change
the operation mode, e.g. the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring remains in the “AUTOMATIC”
operation mode.
The changeover from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL” is carried
out via a pulse or a continuous signal to input E6 (b12/z12) (see
page 26). Further signals do not change the operation mode,
e.g. the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
remains in the “MANUAL” operation mode.

REG - D™
7.14.4 Tap-changing
F4
OFF
“OFF” is selected if no signals are available for displaying the
tap-changer position.
Two dashes “--” appear on the display in Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring mode.
If the software switch for the tap-changes is set to “ON”, yet
there is no tap-change information available, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring displays tap-change
0. Such a display could cause operating personnel to come to
wrong conclusions.
ON
If BCD-coded signals are available for displaying the tap-
changer position, please select the “ON” position.
In the regulator mode, the display shows the tap-changer
position.
Note
If an error occurs (BCD signals are available and the tap-
changer parameter is set to “ON”), please check the
connections and the selected “input assignment”.
Please also observe that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring automatically checks the correctness
of the tap-changer position.
However, the tap-changer must be turned on.
The error message “TapErr” is displayed to indicate incorrect
tap-changer settings.
TapErr is activated if an illogical tap-change is signalled.
TapErr is only intended to be informative, since the correct
display of tap-changes is not essential for the regulation of
individual transformers.

REG - D™
However, it the TapErr signal is linked to a relay which has set
the Relay to the manual mode, regulation could be interrupted
when a tap error is detected.
Further information can be found on page 181 and page 283.

Control & Transformer Monitoring in the event that the auxiliary

“PULSE” switches the activation ON and OFF.
The type of parallel program activation described in this section
is the simplest type of activation. However, this can often not
meet the requirements of actual use. For this reason, we
request that you primarily refer to the information in Chapter 9.
7.14.11 Up/down relay on time

If the Relay outputs a tap-changing signal, the standard switch-

on time of the tap-changing pulse is 2s.

“AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL”. The “AUTO lock in event
of ELAN error” function ensures that it is only possible to
change back to “AUTOMATIC” when the error has been
rectified or when the “AUTO lock in event of ELAN error” is
switched from ON to OFF.

The setpoint value is normally entered via the menu.

If the setpoint value has to be changed for operational reasons,
it is possible to increase or decrease it using the left (lower)
or right (raise) arrow keys, without having to use the more
lengthy corresponding SETUP method.
The percent values set in menu Add-On 3 determine the size of
the increment/decrement of the setpoint value.
Example:
If 0.5% is set, the setpoint value will be increased or decreased
by 0.5% each time one of the arrow keys is pressed.

For background information on “Creeping Net Breakdown”,
Firmware versions 2.04 and above can derive the creeping net
breakdown from the overvoltage.
However, this function can only be achieved if the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is equipped with two
voltage transformers (feature M+)
The voltage input on the undervoltage side takes care of the
load-dependent regulation, whilst the voltage input on the

A maximum tap-change difference may be set for the ΔIsinϕ
and the ΔIsinϕ(S) parallel programs.
An alarm can be output during parallel switching if the
difference between the transformer tap-change levels exceeds
the entered maximum value. The parallel-operating group will
change to MANUAL.
Please connect the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring so that an optical display of the situation is possible
if too large a tap difference occurs.
For this purpose you can either assign the “ParErr” function to
one of the freely-programmable LEDs or activate a plain text
message on the Relay screen.
A background program is required for the plain text solution
which can be found in our Toolbox or which can be ordered
from our headquarters at any time.

7.15 Transformer configuration

This menu is used to specify between which external
conductors the measuring voltage, which will be used by the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as the
regulating variable, is to be measured.
For more information on connecting the measuring transformer,
see see “Socket connector 3; (Measuring voltage, auxiliary
voltage)” on page 28.
The transformer ratios of the voltage and current transformers
must be entered under the Knu/Kni menu item if the values on
the undervoltage side of the transformer (voltage and current on
the primary side of the measuring transformer) are to be

7.15.1 Transformer configuration voltage (conductor
connection)
It is not necessary to hardware-connect the voltage and current
connections to specific positions in the network (e.g. U12 and
L3, etc) in order to operate the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring will always measure the correct angle
relationship regardless of between which external conductors
the voltage is measured, and regardless of the line in which the
current is measured, so long as the actual connection is
transmitted to SETUP 5, transformer mounting.
Note
Please observe that when the control voltage is derived
from a phase voltage (e.g. UL1-N) and the selected
connector (UL1) has a high-resistance earth
connection, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring will be offered a voltage which will cause the
Relay to make tap-changes in the direction of a higher
voltage.
This condition must be particularly taken into
consideration when operating a compensated network.
If the Relay is connected to an asymmetrically loaded network

and correct measured values are still needed for both the active
and the reactive power, the Relay may also be operated in the
Aron circuit (feature M2).
In order to do so, both the parameterisation (transformer
mounting, voltage and current set to “ARON”) and the
connection must be carried out in the correct manner.
Please refer to the configuration documents for the connection
assignment for currents l1 and l3 and for voltages L1, L2 and
L3.
It is not sensible to give detailed information about the
connecting the current and voltage supplies at this point since
there is no fixed type of REG-D Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring.

Caution!
The jumper must be placed onto the correct part of
terminal block 4 (NTZ 2) before changing the current
range.
The contamination of the low voltage networks by harmonics

also affects the medium voltage side and places more
demands on the Relay’s measuring technology.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring input is
equipped with a 4-pole blocking filter to prevent feedback
effects (aliasing).
The switching of the Single Inline Filters (SILs)
are switched from 1 A to 5 A using the jumper.
The jumpers will be placed in the appropriate positions before
leaving the factory if the nominal value of the current is specified
at the time of ordering.
If the nominal value of the current changes or is unknown at the
time of ordering the hardware and software must be adjusted
to each other. The software adjustment is described in section
7.15.4, and the hardware adjustment is illustrated in the
following two diagrams.

jumper on only one pin.
The jumper must be placed at the position indicated above if

the nominal current is 5 A.
The number of current transformers is controlled via feature M
(M for “Messumformung” = transducer).
Feature M1 refers to a Relay with one voltage and one current
transformer.

REG - D™
In this case the Relay is equipped with only one SIL and is only
suitable for measuring symmetrically loaded three-phase
current networks.
Feature M2 refers to a Relay that is equipped with two voltage
and two current transformers.
With this hardware configuration, the Relay can measure using
an Aron circuit and can also be used in three-phase current
networks loaded according to the requirements of the user.
Always ensure (also in the case of M2) that the control voltage
is only measured at the connections that are associated with a
feature M1 voltage converter (see also the information on page
133).

A specific function can be assigned to each input channel from

the list of selection options.
Example:
If the running time of the tap-changer is to be monitored, the
“tap-change in operation lamp” must be connected to an input
(e.g. to input E1, as is the case on delivery).
Select “TC in operation” using the arrow keys and confirm by
pressing Return. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring interprets the signal at E1 as a “tap-change in
operation” signal and compares it to the “maximum time TC in
operation” setting in Add-On 1. Also see chapter 7.17.
If the required function is missing, the input must be set to

“Prog”. The input value can then be connected according to
the respective requirements via the background program.

N1 ➔ Assignment with semi-conductor relay
(50 V nominal insulation voltage)
N2 ➔ Assignment with relay (250 V)
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
equipped with a Local/Remote key (feature Y1), the assignment
is always the same as that of feature N2 (there are at least 4
additional relays available).

A specific function can be assigned to each output from the list
of selection options.
Example:
If a message is to be sent when the running time of the tap-
changer is exceeded, assign the function “TC-F” or “TC-F+” to
a freely programmable relay.
If the tap-changer in operation voltage at input E1 is applied
longer than was specified in “Add-On 1”, relay R3 will be
activated which can function as an indicator or actuator (motor
protection switch-off).
If the required function is missing, the output must be set to

8 Measurement Value Simulation
In order to avoid the simulator being switched on accidentally,

some steps are required to guarantee that the simulated
voltage is only applied when it is specifically desired.
The required steps are:
1 Start WinREG
2 Load the terminal.
3 After pressing Enter, the device will respond by giving the
respective address, e.g. <A>.
4 In step 4 you can choose between the following options:
a) Characteristic simmode=1
(enter it like this using the terminal!)
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5.
In this mode, the simulator can only operate in the
MANUAL operation mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC switches off the
simulator.
b) Characteristic simmode=2
starts up the simulator, which must additionally be selected
via SETUP 6, F5.
In this mode, the simulator can also operate in the
AUTOMATIC operation mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC does not switch
off the simulator, but it does automatically change back 15
minutes after the keyboard was last used.
c) Characteristic simmode=0
switches off the simulator.
The simulator can no longer be switched on in SETUP 6,
F5.
The simulator mode (simmode=1) is activated as factory

default, which only permits simulator operation in the MANUAL
operation mode. (simmode=1)

If the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is operated together with the PAN-D voltage
monitoring unit (connected via E-LAN), it should be
observed that in simulation mode the simulated voltage
will also be fed to the PAN-D. During simulation, the
PAN-D only sees the simulated input voltage and not
the real voltage of the system.

REG - D™
8.1 Setting the simulated voltage

9 Parallel Operation of Transformers
with REG-D™
Parallel switching of several transformers must be prepared in

advance. In general, the taps must first be adjusted to each
other and the circuit breakers and disconnectors have to be put
in the corresponding position. Then, all of the Relays switched
in parallel must be informed of these switching statuses.
is provided with a program section which is capable of
recognizing the switching statuses of the individual
transformers and can automatically group the transformers
according to these switching statuses so that only those Relays
feeding on one joint busbar work in parallel.
It is, of course, also possible to work in the standard way in
which the parallel-switching operation is manually activated.
Both procedures require specific preparations to be carried out
on the device in advance. The preparations to be carried out are
described in the following sections:
➪ Preparing manual activation
➪ Preparing automatic activation
The regulation conditions should be set before choosing the

regulating procedure.
Are the transformers of the same or of a different type? Is it
possible to connect the individual Relays with each other via
E-LAN, or is the distance between each feeding point too
large making connection impossible?
Should the transformers be regulated so that they all have
the same tap-changer position or should the reactive
circulating current be minimised?
Please select the appropriate procedure from the list below
according to the answers to these questions:

REG - D™
All the listed regulating procedures are available in the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as standard.
Master-Slave
Master-Slave independent (MSI)
ΔI sinϕ (minimisation of the reactive circulating current)
ΔI sinϕ (S) (minimisation of the reactive circulating current,
taking into consideration the nominal powers of the
transformers)
Δ cosϕ
The Δ cosϕ operation is an available regulation procedure

which is always used if the Relays which are switched in parallel
cannot be connected to each other via the bus (E-LAN).
If a bus error occurs during parallel operation according to the
reactive circulating current minimisation procedure (ΔI sin ϕ or
ΔI sin ϕ (S)), the complete combination switches to an
emergency regulation which also works according to the Δcos
ϕ procedure.
If a malfunction occurs, each Relay uses the last measured cos
ϕ and attempts to both maintain the voltage within the
regulative deviation (bandwidth) and to approach the last
measured cosϕ as closely as possible.

prerequisites
Caution!
Please note without fail that only REG-D Relays for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with the
same firmware version can be operated in parallel.
Otherwise errors can occur during operation.
The current firmware version can be displayed using the
Relay’s keypad.
Please press the menu key until you have
reached SETUP 6. The Relay status page can be
selected using F5.
The firmware version is displayed in the first two lines,
e.g. V2.01 on 01.02.04.
If different versions are installed, please download the

current firmware version from our website (www.a-
eberle.de or www.regsys.de) or telephone us.
9.2.1 Preparation
The following description defines both the preparations to be
carried out for manual activation as well as those necessary for
automatic activation of parallel switching.
For demonstrating each individual operating step, a system has
been selected which consists of three transformers feeding on
one busbar.
The master-slave procedure has been chosen as the parallel
program.
If another program with a different number of transformers is
selected, please adapt each operating step correspondingly.
In order to permit the master to check at any time whether the
slaves are working correctly, it is necessary that each Relay is
supplied with the tap-change position of “its” transformer and
that the bus connection (E-LAN) is activated between all the
Relays.
Preparing manual activation

“Preparing manual activation” refers to the sequence of
consecutive switching operations which prepare for the parallel
operation of several transformers (adjusting the tap-change
REG - D™
position, adding circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings)
as well as the actual manual activation of the parallel regulation.
In this case parallel regulation can be activated via the menu
(SETUP 5, Add-On 6) or via a binary input signal.
Preparing for automatic activation

“Preparing automatic activation” refers to the simultaneous and
automatic activation of the parallel operation of several
transformers as a function of the logical position (off/on) of all of
the circuit breakers, disconnectors and couplings.
This type of preparation can be carried out by feeding a busbar

replica (positions of the circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties
and bus couplings) to each one of the Relays involved in the
regulation.
On the basis of the switching statuses, the regulation system
can automatically recognise which transformer is supposed to
work with which other transformer(s) on one busbar in parallel
operation.
The transformers are then regulated according to the selected
regulating procedure.

REG - D™
9.2.2 Preparing manual activation
The following steps are required to set up the parallel-switching
of 3 transformers according to the master-slave procedure.
If two transformers or even four transformers are required,
please adapt the procedure correspondingly.
Note
In this chapter parameterisation will be carried out using
the membrane keypad of the Relay.
Of course, the individual operation steps may also be
performed using the WinREG parameterisation
software.
Step 1
Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode.
Step 2
Assign station identification.
The Relay assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code

(address) <A>, the Relay assigned to transformer 2 is given the
station code (address) , and the Relay assigned to
transformer 3 is given the station code <C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
A to Z4
F2
This address may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or

decremented using the F4 and F5 keys.
Confirm your selection using <Enter>.

REG - D™
Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each
station code may only be assigned once.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a Relay, the
Relay will automatically assign a code to its corresponding
PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.
Example:
If the Relay has the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to
the PAN-D. If the Relay has the code <B9>, it will assign the
code <C> to the PAN-D.
Step 3
Establish the connection to the bus.
To start the parallel operation, all participating Relays must be

able to communicate with each other via E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)
is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure.
Once the hardware prerequisites are fulfilled, the bus link must
be parameterised [see “E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)”
on page 96].
Step 4
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
F5

REG - D™
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation
procedure.
F2
This setting is only required for the master − which usually has
the address <A> − because all of the other stations will
automatically be declared as slaves when the group list is input
(see Step 5).
Slaves are to be assigned the parallel program “none''.
Step 5
Input the group list
The codes of all of the Relays participating in the parallel

operation are listed in the group list.
Select SETUP 1, F5, F1, F5
F5
Please press F1, F2 and F3 to parameterise the Relays in the

first, second and third positions with the codes <A>, and
<C> respectively.
If the group list can be entered in the manner described, then
as a rule it can generally be guaranteed that the bus link will
work properly.

REG - D™
It is not necessary to input a regulative influence for the selected
procedure.
Step 6
Parallel switching activation
There are several different ways to activate the parallel-

switching operation:
➪ Activation via the keypad
➪ Activation via the binary input (level-controlled)
➪ Activation via binary input (pulse-controlled)
➪ Activation via IEC ..., RS 232, ...
Activation via the keypad

Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6
Pressing down the F2 function key activates the parallel-

switching operation.
F2
Select “ON”.
The parallel-switching operation is active in automatic mode as
long as the “parallel program activation” is “ON”.
If you prefer to activate the parallel-switching operation via a

binary input instead of via the menu, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring offers two options:
The parallel-switching operation can either be level-controlled
or activated via a level-controlled input.

REG - D™
“Level-controlled activation” means that the parallel-switching
operation is activated as long as the potential is at the selected
input. It will be switched off as soon as the potential at the
selected input drops off.
In “pulse-controlled” activation, the parallel-switching operation
is switched on by the first pulse. The next pulse switches it off
and so on.
If the parallel-switching operation is to be deactivated using a

binary input, please carry out the following procedure:
Select the trigger input.
All freely programmable inputs with the exception of E5 and E6

may be used as the trigger or release input.
The following example demonstrates how to activate the

parallel-switching operation via input E7.
Select SETUP 5, F3, F1
F4
Press the F4 key and then select the “Par Prog” function in the
framed field in the middle of the display.
Accept the setting by pressing <Enter>.
The parallel-switching operation can now be activated via
binary input E7.

REG - D™
For an optical signal that the parallel-switching operation has
been activated, please select SETUP5, F5.
F5
In the following example, the status “parallel switching

activated” is to be indicated using the freely programmable LED
4.
Press the F5 key and select the “Par Prog” function in the
framed field in the middle of the display.
F5
Õ
Accept the setting for LED 4 by pressing <Enter>.
If the status of the parallel-switching operation (ON/OFF) is to

be reported via a potential-free contact, please select a free
relay (R3, R4, R5, ...) in SETUP 5 using the F4 key and assign
the Par-Prog function to it.

REG - D™
If the parallel-switching operation is to be activated or
deactivated via level-controlled or pulse-controlled inputs,
please select the preferred activation method (level or pulse) in
SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6 using the F2 key.
Step 7
Switch the circuit breakers, bus ties, bus couplings and

disconnectors according to the planned parallel-switching
operation.
Step 8
Switch all of the Relays to the AUTO mode.
The master first sets all of the slaves to its actual tap-changer
position in order to start the voltage regulation.
In normal operation, the voltage is held within the permissible
regulative deviation (bandwidth) and all transformers involved
are regulated to the same tap-changer position.

REG - D™
9.2.3 Preparing automatic activation
The PARAGRAMER can be loaded from the start menu as a
tool for preparing the automatic activation and for visualising the
switching status on-line.

station code (address) , and the Relay assigned to
transformer 3 is given the station code <C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
A to Z4
F2

REG - D™
This address may be incremented using the F1 and F2 keys or
decremented using the F4 and F5 keys.
Confirm your selection using <Enter>.
Each address in the range A ... Z4 is permitted, however each
station code may only be assigned once.
If the PAN-D voltage monitoring unit is assigned to a Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay will
automatically assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.
Example:
If the regulator has the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1>
to the PAN-D. If the Relay has the code <B5>, it will assign the
code <B6> to the PAN-D.
Step 4
Establish the connection to the bus.
To start the parallel operation, all parallel-operating Relays must

be able to communicate with each other via E-LAN.
This requires that the bus link (2-conductor or 4-conductor bus)
is connected in the line-to-line or standard bus structure.
The bus link must be parameterised [see “E-LAN (Energy-Local
Area Network)” on page 96] once the hardware prerequisites
are fulfilled.
Step 5
Parameterisation of the group list.
The number of participating parallel-operating transformers

(n=3) is specified by inputting the group list.
The group list is numbered consecutively and each Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be

REG - D™
parameterised in the same order. The Relay of the first
transformer must be first in the group list, the Relay of the
second transformer second in the group list, etc. The Relay ID
may be freely selected as described above. For clarity,
however, the first Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should be assigned code A:, Relay 2 code B:, etc.
The group list also specifies the number of transformers shown
in the PARAGRAMER mode (second position in the group list
occupied => 2 transformers, third position occupied => 3
transformers, etc.).
The group list also indicates which Relays are presently working
together:
Three symbols (+,*,=), which appear before the group list entry
have been introduced to characterise the parallel-operating
transformers. Relays with the same symbol are presently
feeding on one busbar.
The following procedure should be carried out for each Relay

for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring:
Setup 1, =>
<F5> “Programs”, =>
<F1> “Par. Parameters”, =>
<F5> “E-LAN group list”, => Enter the stations
Step 6
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
F5

REG - D™
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation
procedure.
F2
This setting is only required for the master − which usually has
the address <A> − because all of the other stations will
automatically be declared as slaves when the group list is input.
Slaves should be assigned the parallel program “none''.
Step 7
Input assignments
The individual programmable binary Relay for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring inputs are prepared for their respective
tasks in this step.
If, for instance, the disconnector PG_TR1 of transformer 1 is to
be assigned to the Relay input E8, the function PG_TR1 must
be assigned to input E 8 using menu SETUP 5, F3 “Input
assignments...” and the function keys.
This same procedure applies for all of the other inputs/signals
as well.

REG - D™
Depending on the input assignment, the display can show one
or two busbars.
The following input functions are available:

➪ PG_LS:
Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding
transformer
➪ PG_TR1:
Disconnector return signal of the corresponding
transformer on busbar 1
➪ PG_TR2:
Disconnector return signal of the corresponding
transformer on busbar 2
➪ PG_QK:
Bus coupling
➪ PG_LK1:
Bus tie to the right of the infeed on
busbar 1
➪ PG_LK2:
Bus tie to the right of the infeed on
busbar 2
Inputs which are not in use are assigned a default setting. This
makes it possible to also display system diagrams which do not
correspond to the maximum possible configuration with one
circuit breaker, two disconnectors, one bus coupling and two
bus ties per transformer.
Note
A solution is also available for applications in which the
busbars are coupled crosswise.
The “crosslink” feature makes it easy to master this task.
This type of busbar arrangement is not described here
since it is not used very frequently. If it is required,
please contact our headquarters. This option is already
available on your Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and can be activated at any
time using the Firmware feature.

REG - D™
Summary of the default settings:
❑ 1 busbar:
PG_LS: open
PG_TR1: closed, however not displayed in the
PARAGRAMER
❑ 2 busbars:
PG_LS: closed
PG_TR1: open
PG_TR2: open
PG_QK: open
PG_LK1: closed
PG_LK2: closed
The displays to be shown are changed according to the criteria

listed below:
➪ If the Relay in the third position in the group list is assigned
a freely selected PG_xxx parameter, three transformers will
be displayed in a circuit diagram instead of two.
➪ If either PG_TR1 or PG_TR2 is used on a Relay entered in

the group, two busbars will be displayed in a circuit diagram
instead of one.
➪ If either PG_QK, PG_LK1 or PG_LK2 is used on a Relay

entered in the group, the bus ties and bus couplings will be
activated in the display.

REG - D™
Step 8
Displaying the busbar replica
Depending on the parameterised group list, the overview

screen will display two to six Relays. In addition to the
PARAGRAMER overview, it is also possible to select a detailed
display.
Selection summary:
<MENU>, <F5> => PARAGRAMER summary
Selecting the switching status:

Use <F5> to switch switching status/overview.
Use “<” and “>” to scroll in the Switching status view.
9. Step
Switch all of the Relays to the AUTO operation mode.

The parallel-switching operation can now be activated
automatically.

REG - D™
9.3 Parallel operation using the “Master-Slave-
Independent (MSI)” procedure
(available as of Version 2.03 from the 16th July 2004)
Note
All of the control technology information about TapErr
and ParErr also applies to the master-slave operation
carried out according to any activation procedure.
MSI stands for Master (M), Slave (S) and Independent (I)
operation of individual transformers.
In this operation mode, all of the participating parallel-switching
transformers are placed by the operator in one of the states
described above.
Transformers then always work according to the principle of
equalising the tap-changer positions, which is also called the
master-slave procedure.
Note
The terms master-follower and master-slave are used
synonymously is everyday language and that is also the
case in the following text.
Please note:
➪ In the MSI mode, it is only possible to change the operation
mode (MSI) of the Relay when in the manual mode.
➪ In the independent mode, on the other hand, each Relay for

Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can be switched
back and forth from MANUAL to AUTO at any time.
➪ When the transformers are already operating in parallel, it is

possible to switch from the AUTO mode to the MANUAL
mode by switching any Relay to the MANUAL mode.
This therefore ensures that the entire group can quickly be
switched to the MANUAL mode in the event of a fault.
➪ In the Auto mode, the group can only then be switched if the
master is switched to the AUTO mode; the slaves will not
accept being switched from MANUAL to AUTO.
➪ The status line of the paragramer display indicates which

Relay is currently functioning as the master.

REG - D™
It is also possible to indicate the operating status using an LED.
If the parameter MSI-Ma is assigned to a particular LED, it lights
up when the Relay is operating in master mode. The same
procedure can also be carried out for slave operation
(parameter = MSI_Sl) or independent operation (parameter =
MSI_Ind).
The parameterisation is also displayed in the ParaGramer and
the individual transformers are designated by the letters M, S
and I.
All of the transformers/Relays working as either a master or a
slave are displayed with a closed coupling. On the other hand,
Relays working in the independent mode (currently feeding on
a different busbar or in the stand-by mode) are displayed with
an open coupling.
If more than one Relay has been mistakenly assigned to the

master mode, the MSI algorithm will treat the Relay with the
lowest address (A is lower than B or C!) as the “master” and will
treat all of the other Relays mistakenly defined as being masters
as slaves.
The ParaGramer display will also show the present status of the
parallel operation in the status line in the form of the measured
voltage, the calculated regulative deviation and the tap-changer
position in addition to the “Who with whom?” information
This makes it possible to obtain all of the information needed to

evaluate the parallel operation.

REG - D™
Conditions for MSI operation
The MSI operation mode can only be applied when the
PARAGRAMER feature is activated and turned on.
Relays which are delivered with the K1 feature (with parallel
operation) are already parameterised in this way by default.
The Paragramer is switched on by selecting SETUP 5, Add-On

6.
Press F5 to specify the number of transformers to be switched
in parallel.
Example:
The ParaGramer must be set to ON-3 for a group of three
transformers.
The MSI operation mode can be selected by choosing the MSI
operation mode in SETUP 1, Programs..., Parallel Program.
Caution!
The MSI operation mode must be selected for each
Relay involved in the parallel-switching operation.
We advise contacting our company headquarters if the K1

feature and, therefore, also the Paragramer, are to be enabled
at a later date.
To verify the present settings, please select

SETUP 6, F5 (Status), --> Page 2 of the device status.
Note
Several features, e.g. RECORDER, TMM 01 can, of
course, be loaded at the same time.

REG - D™
Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure:
Only transformer types with identical electrical (output, short
circuit voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions,
switching groups, etc.) and mechanical features (number of
tap-changer positions, position of the deadband) are suitable
for MSI operation.
A different procedure should be used if one or more of the
parameters differ.
In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay receives the
information regarding the tap-changer position of “its”
transformer.
For operation using the master-slave tap-change equalisation
procedure, it is mandatory that the correct tap-changer position
is recorded and transmitted to the respective Relays.
Every potential “candidate” must be listed in the group list with
its address in order to notify the system of the number of
Relays/transformers that should take part in the parallel
operation.
Please select the sub-menu “Parallel Parameters” in

SETUP 1.
Method:
SETUP 1 / Programs... (F5) / “Par. Parameters” (F1)
The group list must be entered in the “Par. parameters” menu.
In the first group position, please select the Relay with the
lowest address by pressing the F1 key. Then place the Relay
with the next highest address in the second position in the list.
Continue in the same manner for all of the Relays currently
involved in the parallel-switching operation as well as for those
that will be later in the parallel switching operation later.

REG - D™
Selecting the operation modes
Three different methods can be used to select operation
modes.
1. via the binary input
2. via the membrane keypad (F3 … F5)
3. via the (serial) control system
Method 1:
Select three free inputs per Relay and assign the Master
(MSI_Ma), Slave (MSI_Sl) or Independent (MSI_Ind) functions to
them using SETUP 5, F3 or by using WinREG.
Example:
IT should be possible to select the operation mode using inputs
E9 to E11.
The following is displayed in SETUP 5, F3:
A signal transmitted to input E-9 will cause the Relay to work as

the master.
The present status is indicated by an X in the square brackets.
The results of this parameterisation:

REG - D™
This status is indicated on both the regulator display as well as
on the ParaGramer.

REG - D™
Method 2:
Selection via the membrane keypad is only possible in the
ParaGramer.
For this reason it is necessary to first return to the main menu.
Then press the F5 key to select the ParaGramer display mode.
The symbol in the status line has been assigned to the F1 key.
Press F1 and select the desired operation mode using F3, F4

and F5.
Information regarding effective manoeuvring on the screen can
be found under “i” by pressing the F2 key.
Note
The mode cannot be overwrittten via the keypad if a
specific mode is pre-selected via the binary input and a
signal is present at the input.
The mode that was most recently assigned an input is
always pre-selected. Since the inputs are triggered via
the edge of the input signal, one short impulse is
sufficient to select the operation mode.

REG - D™
Method 3:
Selection of the individual Relays is carried out via a serial
interface (IEC…, DNP 3.0, MODBUS, SPA-Bus; via LWL or
copper).
A further prerequisite for fault-free operation is that all of the

Relays have the same parameterisation.
For this reason, different parameters must be set in SETUPs 1
and 5.
Since the slaves in the master-slaves procedure are only
allowed a limited freedom of action, changes in the parameters
can only be carried out in the independent mode or the master
mode.
For this reason, the parameterisation should already have been
completed in SETUP 5 before commencing work in SETUP 1.
Please note:
First SETUP 5, then SETUP 1
Select SETUP 5, F1…, (Add-On 6).

The following parameters can be entered:
Explanations of the individual menu items:

“Parallel Prog. activation” must be set to ON to activate parallel
operation.

REG - D™
The indication “1st ParErr after n tap-changer in operation time”
can be interpreted as follows.
If a parallel-switching operation with n stations has just
occurred, the system assumes that all of the participating
transformers will have the same tap-changer position within 1.5
x the tap-changer in operation time.
If there is an error in the transmission of the BCD code or if there
are problems regarding the equalisation of the tap-changer
positions, a tap-changer position error (TapErr) will be detected
which causes the system to stop.
However, if a transformer, which (for example) has been feeding
another busbar or has been working in the stand-by mode, is
selected to participate in the parallel-switching operation, this
parameter can be used to specify the number of tap-changes
it may deviate from the parallel transformers that are already
running.
This transformer is then brought to the same tap-changer
position as the transformers which are already operating in
parallel, one step at a time and without interrupting regulation.
If equalisation doesn’t occur within the pre-selected time, the
parallel-switching is stopped and all participating Relays switch
to MANUAL mode.
Example:
The transformer/Relay <D> to be added to the parallel-
switching operation is currently set to the resting position in tap-
changer position 4.
The group switched in parallel is currently working in tap-
changer position 8 and the motor running time between two
tap-changer positions is 7 seconds.
If you want to add transformer <D> to the parallel-switched
group − without considering the resulting circulating reactive
currents − the “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time”
parameter must be set to 4.
The monitoring algorithm of the parallel program will wait an
interval of 4 times the tap-changer in operation time of the
added transformer (4 x 7 seconds = 28 seconds) before a
parallel error (ParErr) is triggered.
Under normal conditions, the new station can be “brought” to
the tap-changer position of the group within this specified
interval.

REG - D™
If this is not possible, the error flag ParErr will be set and the
entire group will be switched to the MANUAL mode.
The MANUAL operation mode is the fail-safe position for all of

the master-slave procedures.
The group can only be switched back to the AUTO mode via
the master after the error which triggered the ParErr has been
rectified.
The number of transformers/Relays involved in the parallel-

switching operation can be selected with the help of the
“ParaGramer Activity” parameter.
Example:
If three transformers/Relays are to be switched in parallel,
“Paragramer Activity” 3
must be selected by pressing F5.
Settings in SETUP 1
Several settings must be carried out in Setup 1.
Under normal conditions − all of the transformers are the same
− the settings for the “permissible regulative deviation” (F1), the
“time factor” (F2) and the “setpoint value” (F3) should all be the
same.
However, if you prefer to have different setpoint values
activated when changing masters, different setpoint values can
also be specified.
However, during the parallel-switching operation, only the
setpoint value parameterised in the currently active master is
taken into consideration.
Different setpoint values can naturally also be selected even if
the setpoint values originally had the same parameterisation. To
do this, the setpoint value of the active master is changed via
the binary input, the program or the serial interface.

REG - D™
Select SETUP 1, F5 (Programs).
Select the parallel program “MSI” using the F2 key.
All of the preparations necessary for the parallel-switching

operation have now been carried out. Proceed in the MANUAL
mode by changing the transformers until the voltage is outside
of the tolerance band. Then switch to AUTO mode to verify
whether the parallel-switching operation is functioning properly.
It is only functioning properly if the voltage returns to the
tolerance band within a short period of time and all of the
transformers are set to the same tap-changer position.
We recommend carrying out this test for both positive and
negative regulative deviations.

REG - D™
9.3.1 Trouble-shooting
Parallel-switching operations carried out according to the
master-slave procedure can only function properly, if − in
addition to the correct functioning of the participating Relays −
the infrastructure (recording and signalling of the tap-changer
position, bus connection) are also functioning fault-free.
To ensure that errors that could occur outside of the Relays do
not cause problems for maintaining the voltage, the two error
flags ParErr and TapErr have been introduced to monitor the
recording of the tap-changer position and the bus connection
respectively.
9.3.1.1 Description of the ParErr and TapErr error flags

A fault in the parallel-switching operation is signalled through
the ParErr and TapErr error bits.
ParErr
ParrErr stands for a faulty parallel operation in general (parallel
error) and automatically switches a group of transformers
operating in parallel from the AUTOMATIC operation mode to
the MANUAL operation mode. If a different behaviour is
desired, this can be specified through an alteration to the
SYSCTR feature. In this case please contact our headquarters.
ParErr is triggered, for example, when the Relay is bypassed
when a tap-changer regulation is carried out (the tap-changer
position is set directly at the motor drive or via the “remote
control bypass”) and the transformers are not all set back to the
same tap-changer position within an interval that is 1.5 times
the tap-change in operation time.
Exception: If a transformer with a specific tap difference is added

to the parallel-switching operation (independent becomes
slave), ParErr is not triggered until the interval specified in
SETUP 5, Add-On 6, “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in
operation time” has been exceeded.

REG - D™
TapErr
TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-changer
position. The name is derived from the term “tap error”.
Like ParErr, TapErr affects the entire group when in MSI
operation mode.
If a transformer is being switched in parallel, regulation will stop
after 1.5 x the tap-changer in operation time if the tap-changer
positions have not reached the same level within this time.
We recommend individually assigning the TapErr and ParErr
error bits to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating
personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus
make it easier to rectify the error.
The following are considered to be tap errors:

1. Tap-changes in the wrong direction
Example:
The Relay outputs a “raise” command and the transformer
reacts with a lower tap-change or the Relay outputs a “lower”
command and the transformer reacts with a higher tap-change.
Possible causes of the error: The raise and lower signals have
been swapped or the motor drive is behaving inversely.
Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay increases the
transformer ratio in the event of a higher tap-change, thus
lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is expected that an increase in the tap-changer
position results in a higher voltage, and a decrease in the tap-
changer position results in a lower voltage.
Remedy: Exchange the raise and lower signals

REG - D™
2. No tap-change
Example:
The Relay outputs a command, but the tap-changer position
does not change.
In this case, it must be assumed that either the position
confirmation signal or the motor drive is defective.
3. Illogical tap-changes
If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap
position after a raise or lower command is issued, the Relay
interprets this as a fault in the tap-change operation and the
TapErr flag is set.
As mentioned above, we recommend assigning the TapErr

error bit to an LED and/or a relay to inform the operating
personnel about the status of the parallel regulation and to thus
make it easier to rectify any error.
Tap limitation
If the tap is to be limited from either above or below, please
enter the following background program lines via the WinREG
terminal program:
H 7=‘RegStufe-,Lower tap limitation,<=,if,RegSperreT =3,

else,RegSperreT =0’
H 8=‘RegStufe-,Upper tap limitation,>=,if,RegSperreH =3,

else,RegSperreH =0’
In place of the “Upper tap limitation”, enter the required upper tap
limitation for your requirements and in place of the “Lower tap
limitation” enter the required lower tap limitation.
Note
The assignment of program lines H7 and H8 is arbitrary,
and you can use any two program lines of your choice.

10 Resistance Measuring Equipment for
Tap-Changers with Resistance-Coded
Tap-Change Signalling
Resistance input
If the REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is equipped with a “tap-change potentiomenter”
resistance input, the tap-changer resistance network can be
connected directly and interpreted as a tap-change by the
Relay.
This eliminates the complication of using an external resistance
measurement transducer.
The resistance chain receives a constant current from the Relay
via two terminals (see design specification).
The voltage drop that occurs with the tap-change level is
measured using two further terminals (see design specification).
The Relay is normally connected in a 3-conductor circuit.
Please contact our company headquarters if a 4-conductor
circuit is required.
The resistance measurement equipment consists of a
programmable current source to feed the measurement
resistor, and a voltage measurement device to measure the
voltage at the resistor. Tap-change resistances between 1 Ω
and 400 Ω can be measured. However, the total resistance
must remain ≤ 20 kΩ
The measurement result is output with a 12 bit resolution at a
refresh rate of approx. 10 Hz (0.1 s).
The measurement equipment also contains a broken wire
detection system.
The parameters are input in an application menu using the

keypad.
Loading the application menu

The application menu appears when the enter key is pressed in
one of the main menus (regulator measurement transducer,
recorder etc.).
The system also branches off into the application menu if the
enter key is pressed when in SETUP 1 to 6.

REG - D™
Meaning of the lines in the menu
1st Line: dR is the nominal resistance between two levels
2nd Line: is the highest measurable level
3rd Line: is the lowest measurable level
10.1 Error detection

The error detection recognises the following errors:
➪ Interruption in the current loop
➪ Overloading of the current source
➪ Interruption of one or both of the feeder cables for the
voltage measurement input
➪ Measurement input overloaded

➪ Measurement range overshot
The resistance measurement value will be > RMAX for all

detectable faults.
Therefore RMAX should be measured so that the value is never
exceeded under normal conditions.
If an error occurs, an Infobox will be shown, which indicates the

error and the current measured resistance value.
10.2 Level detection

The level resistance value RS is a required input value.
The internal level N is calculated from the measured resistance
value RM using
and displayed.

REG - D™
The present measurement resistance value and the deviation,
ΔRn, of the present measurement resistance value from the
present level N as a percent of RS (-50% ... 0 ... +50%) is shown
in line 5 of the application menu.

ΔRn = 100% ⋅ ⎛ ------- + 1-N )

10.3 Connection options

The depiction of the two connection options is merely
representative.
Since the tap-change potentiometer can be connected to any

terms of design and the basic configuration of the analogue
inputs and outputs.
is not provided with any analogue inputs, whereas the REG-DA
Relay is always equipped with one analogue input module.
Both Relays can optionally be upgraded with various additional
modules.
The following modules are available:

❑ Analogue input module with two analogue mA inputs
❑ Analogue module with only one input
(only possible for the RG-DA)
❑ Analogue module with only one output

❑ Analogue output module with two analogue mA outputs
❑ PT100 module to connect a PT100 directly to a 3-
conductor circuit
❑ Resistance module as a tap-change potentiometer
(1 ... 400 Ω/tap-change)
(see chapter 10 for description)
The parameterisation of the inputs and outputs is the same for

both types of Relay and can be carried out using either the
keypad or the WinREG parameterisation software.
It is advantageous to carry out the parameterisation using

WinREG, since that is the simplest method to gain an overview
of all the various parameters.
However, parameterisation using the keypad is shown in the

example, since this gives an insight into the multiple possibilities
and is very often required.

REG - D™
11.1 Analogue inputs
The individual steps are explained through the aid of an
example.
Example:
In this example parameterisation is carried out on a REG-DA,
which is equipped with one mA input (Channel 1) as standard.
The tap-change of a transformer is delivered using a mA signal
and is connected to channel 1 of the Relay.
The mA signal between 4 ... 20mA should represent a tap-
change range of 1 to 17 tap-change positions.
How to proceed:
Assuming that you are in one of the display menus (regulator,
transducer, etc.), select menu and then select SETUP 6 using
the arrow keys.
Press F1 to select General 1
The submenus which are required for parameterising the

analogue channels can then be reached by pressing F5.

REG - D™
Up to 6 analogue channels can be selected using the up and

down arrow keys.
can be equipped with up to six channels, whereas the REG-DA
Relay can only have a maximum of 4 analogue channels.
The entry “channel 1 AI/ANA” (AI ➔ analogue input) and, for

example, “channel 3 AO/ANA” (AO ➔ analogue output) is
created automatically and shows that channel 1 has an
analogue input and that channel 3 is hardware-prepared as an
analogue output.
Select channel 1 (F2)
This is ASETUP 1, in which various characteristics of the input

can be parameterised.
The analogue function can be selected using the F2 key.

iWater Output represents the water (H20) in the oil.
iGas Output represents the amount of dissolved
gases in the oil
iTapPos Tap-change position of the transformer
Note
The quantities OilTp-TR and OilTp-TC must be supplied
using the PT100 module. The oil level, water and gas
measurement quantities can only be handled if they are
available as mA signals from an appropriate sensor.

You can switch between upper and lower case by pressing F2.
F4 and F5 insert and delete a character respectively.
Decimal places are not required in this case since the tap-change
position is a whole-number quantity.

which can be described using the points P0 and P2.
Each point is specified using an x coordinate and a y

coordinate.
The characteristic lines are so constructed that mA values
(input or output) are always placed on the y axis in normalised
form.
The upper limit of the mA input or output is always determined

by the specific hardware configuration. Therefore a normalised
representation is sensible.
Example:
0 ... 20 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0 und Y2 = 1
4 ... 20 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0.2 und Y2 = 1
0 ... 5 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0 and Y2 = 1
0 ... 10 V is displayed as Y0 = 0 and Y2 = 1

The following choices are available under “Limit Handling”:

None
High
Low
High+Low

REG - D™
Explanations:
None: no limiting,
neither upwards nor downwards
High: Limiting, upwards only
Practical meaning:
In the selected example, the Relay would
display tap-change position 17, even if the
upstream measurement transducer over-
controls
and outputs,for example, 24mA instead of
20mA.
Low: Limiting, downwards only
Practical meaning:
In the selected example, the Relay would
display tap-change position 1, even if
upstream
measurement transducer outputs only 0mA
instead of 4mA.
Recommendation:
In the case of inputs 4 ... 20mA, the lower limit
should not be activated, otherwise important
information may be lost.
If the input signal value falls below 4 mA, the
display remains at tap-change position 1. If the
limiting is not active, the Relay displays
tap-change position 99, which could easily be
mis-interpreted as an error signal.
High + Low: Limits both upwards and downwards
Practical meaning:
One can decide individually in each case if the
limiting function is helpful or not.
A general recommendation can therefore not
be
given for this reason.

purposes. It displays the resolution with which the input signal

15 Storage Information
The devices should be stored in clean, dry rooms. The devices

and their respective replacement modules can be stored
between -25 °C and +65 °C.
The relative humidity must not cause the formation of either
condensation or ice.
We recommend that the storage temperature remains within
the temperature range -10 °C to +55 °C to ensure that the built-
in electrolytic capacitor does not age prematurely.
We also recommend that the device be connected to an
auxiliary voltage every two years to reform the electrolytic
capacitors. This procedure should also be carried out before
the device is put into operation. In extreme climatic conditions
(tropics), this also simultaneously ensures “pre-heating” and
helps to avoid the formation of condensation.
The device should be stored in the service room for at least two
hours prior to being connected to the voltage for the first time
so that it can become accustomed to the ambient temperature
there and to avoid the formation of moisture and condensation.

16 Background Information
16.1 Regulator mode

The command variable W and the actual value X of the line
voltage are continuously compared in the Relay in order to
maintain a constant line voltage. The command variable W is
either a fixed value or a variable value which is the sum of fixed
setpoint values and the changeable voltage drop on the lines to
the consumers.
The difference between the actual value X and the control
variable W (the regulative deviation Xw) is calculated according
to a selected function in the Relay and summed until a specified
integral value is reached. As soon as this integral value is
reached, the integrator is set to zero and a signal (correcting
variable) is simultaneously output which triggers the tap-
changer (actuator) of the transformer and thus changes its ratio.
The integration begins anew after each tap-change procedure.

functions as a three-tap-change regulator with a deadband. No
control commands will be output if the actual value lies within
this deadband.
The parameters for the time behaviour of the Relay can be

optimally adapted to the dynamic time behaviour of the line
voltage (controlled system) so that a high degree of control
quality (high voltage constancy) can be achieved with a low
number of changes and the actuator is not overly stressed.
All of the Relays can control several parallel-switched

transformers on one busbar without requiring further devices.
The transformers are regulated according to a specific
algorithm in such a way that the reactive part of the circulating
current is minimised. Thus transformers with different outputs
and different tap-change voltages can also be parallel-
switched.

16.2 Command variable W

The command variable W for the voltage of the tap-changing
transformer may either be a fixed value (setpoint value) or a
variable value (setpoint value + a variable). A variable command
variable W can consist of, for example, the sum of a fixed
setpoint value and the share of the voltage drop on a line up to
a certain point in the circuit. This makes it possible to maintain
the voltage at a constant level even if the load and the primary
voltage are changing.
16.2.1 Fixed command variable

The command variable W is input into the Relay as a voltage
setpoint value and remains constant. The Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring maintains the voltage at the
transformer at the setpoint value independent of the primary
voltage and the corresponding load current (the voltage drop
on the line).
Adjusting the setpoint / Switching to a different setpoint value

Normally up to 4 setpoint values can be pre-selected. If the
present setpoint value is to be changed, this change can be
carried out on the Relay either manually or by switching to
another setpoint value which has already been pre-selected. At
the same time the previous setpoint value becomes ineffective.
The change to another setpoint value can be activated either via
an external signal or by using a background program.

REG - D™
16.2.2 Variable command variable
The command variable W for regulating the voltage at a given
position on a line is the sum of a fixed setpoint value XR and the
variable value of a correction value XK.
W [V] = XR [V] + XK [V]
The correction value XK takes the data of the assigned line and
load into consideration (voltage drop Uf), so that the voltage at
the given position − the load point of the line − can be held
approximately constant.
It is assumed that the network is generally loaded
symmetrically, i.e. that the current in each line is approximately
the same. The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring can therefore be connected to the current
transformer of any line (L1, L2, L3).
Measuring the voltage drop Uf on the line

The voltage drop Uf on the line between the transformer and
the consumer is the difference between the r.m.s. values of
both voltages on the busbar and at the load point. The voltage
drop depends on the impedance of the line, the current
strength and the cos ϕ at the consumer.
The following formula defines the impedance of a line:

Z = RL + j ω LL + 1 / j ω CL
Measuring the voltage drop Uf as a function of the rated current

When the reactances of the line can be neglected and the cos
ϕ at the consumer remains constant, the voltage drop Uf can
be measured as a function of the nominal current.
Uf = f (I, R)
The gradient of the Uf/IL characteristic line required for the

correct measurement of Uf must be determined according to
the operating conditions (see “Nominal value of the gradient” on
page 227).

REG - D™
Control variables for Uf
If the cos ϕ at the consumer varies, it is possible to select the
active I cos ϕ or the reactive I sin ϕ component of the current
as the control variable for Uf rather than current intensity I itself.
The reactive component has either a positive or negative sign
to differentiate between an inductive or a capacitive load
respectively.
Measuring the voltage drop as a function of the current strength and

cos ϕ
(LDC = line drop compensation)
If the reactance of the line cannot be neglected when
measuring the voltage drop and the cos ϕ at the consumer is
not constant, the following formula l applies for measuring Uf:
Uf = (R + j XL) ⋅ (I cos ϕ2 - j I sin ϕ2) = R I (cos ϕ2 - j sin ϕ2) + XL

I (sin ϕ2 + j cos ϕ2)
By inputting the values for R and XL, a replica of the line can be
created in the Relay. This enables the voltage difference (of the
r.m.s. values) between the beginning of the line (transformer)
and the selected load point to be measured in relation to the
current intensity and the cos ϕ2. The value can then be used as
the correction value Xk (see “Variable command variable” on
page 223).
Uf = U1 - U2
The angle at the load point is defined as ϕ2. However, in most
cases the difference between ϕ at the transformer and ϕ at the
load point may be neglected (see example).
The current and voltage paths (L1, L2, L3 as well as S1/k and
S2/l) must be correctly connected in order to be able to
measure the correct angle.
Example:
Given: R = 30 Ω; XL = 82 Ω; I = 100 A; cos ϕ2 = 0.7;
U2 = 110 kV at the end of the line.
When calculating using voltage pointers (for complex quantities
use the E-2.5.2 EXCEL program which can be downloaded
from our website, www.a-eberle.de), the result is the following

REG - D™
exact value
Uf = U1 - U2 = 7.96 kV. (The angle difference of the voltage
pointer between the beginning and the load point is
approximately 2°).
The voltage at the transformer must thus be regulated to the
r.m.s. value U1 = 110 kV + 7.96 kV = 117.96 kV (command
variable W).
Setting R and XL
The differences between the entered values and the actual
values of R and XL as well as the difference between the cos ϕ
at the transformer and at the consumer (the voltage indicators
of U1 and U2 have different angles) may be eliminated by
readjusting R and XL.
If values exist for the inductive and resistive voltage drop
between the feeding point and the load point, they can be
converted to resistances (R and X) using a simple mathematical
equation.
Divide the voltages by 10 and enter the resulting values as the
resistances R and X.
Example: Ux = 12 V
Ur = 25 V
Thus:
X = 1.2 Ohms
R = 2.5 Ohms

REG - D™
16.2.3 Current-dependent setpoint value increment
Determining the voltage levels XR and Uf
The voltage level XR (setpoint value) should correspond to the
required voltage at a minimum current.
The voltage level Uf is a function of the gradient of the linear Uf/
IL-characteristic line. Adding this voltage to the entered setpoint
value XR (increasing the setpoint value) cancels out the voltage
drop on the line.
Various programs are available for incrementing the setpoint
value:
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on apparent current
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on active current
❑ setpoint value increment dependent on reactive current.
The line-drop compensation using the LDC process was
described in the previous chapter.
Apart from the LDC process, the most commonly used method
is compensation based on the apparent current and this is
described in more detail below.

Please observe that the positive or negative sign of the active

power is taken into consideration when the current-dependent
setpoint value is increased.
The current-dependent setpoint value increment is active if
power is being consumed and is inactive when power is being
supplied.
This procedure - which works in the interest of network
operation - can only be carried out properly and reliably when
the direction of the active power is input correctly.

REG - D™
In this case a positive sign for active power indicates incoming
power (setpoint value increment permissible), whereas a
negative sign indicates outgoing power, and the setpoint
increment function is disabled.
The connections for both the voltage and the current must be
correctly assigned in order to detect the direction of the active
power.
Therefore, please check the connections for current and
voltage, as well as the assignments (SETUP 5, F2) and lastly
check the sign for active power in the transducer mode.
Nominal value of the gradient

The nominal value of the gradient Gnom indicates the % change
in the nominal voltage when the current strength changes from
0 to 100% of the I1n nominal current of the current transformer
that is mounted in the network.
ΔU [ V ]
St Nom [ % ] = ---------------------- ⋅ 100%

UNom = 100 V
(ΔU in relation to ΔIL [A])

Uf [ V ] = ΔU [ V ] = ------------------------- ⋅ U Nom [ V ] ⋅ ⎛ ------------------------⎞
100% ⎝ I 1N [ A ] ⎠
Limitation of the voltage level Uf

To prevent the command variable from exceeding a certain limit
value in the event of overcurrent, the gradient of the linear Uf/IL
characteristic line must be set to zero from a specified value of
the current onwards. The characteristic line is horizontal after
this point.

REG - D™
Measuring the required gradient
The two value pairs, voltage and current strength, must be
known at a light load as well as at full load to measure the
required nominal value Gnom [%].
Please note that the gradient and the setpoint value cannot be
set independently from each other for this type of characteristic
line, because when Gnom [%] is > 0%, the command variable W,
which is already at the minimum current value Imin > 0, would be
unintentionally increased.
Example:
The voltage at a particular point in the network is to be held
constant at 20 kV under a variable load.
Nominal values of the voltage transformer:
U1n = 20 kV; U2n = 100 V; Knu = 200
Nominal values of the current transformer:
I1n = 800 A; I2n = 5 A; Kni = 160
Measured value pairs:

ΔI [A] = Imax - Imin = 700 A - 100 A = 600 A
Secondary side (primary values/Kni):

ΔI [A] = Imax - Imin = 4.375 A - 0.625 A = 3.750 A
Absolute voltage change

ΔU [V] = 21.5 kV - 20.5 kV = 1.0 kV
Voltage change in percent
ΔU [%] = (1.0 kV / 20.0 kV) 100 % = 5 %

REG - D™
To raise the voltage of the transformer at full load (Imax) to
21.5 kV, the command variable must be ΔU = 1.0 kV, or 5% of
the nominal voltage U1n higher than the set setpoint value XR.
Calculating the nominal value of the gradient Gnom [%]

Setpoint value reduction

With a light load and this gradient, the command variable W
would be increased to
I min St Nom
W = 1 + ⎛⎝ --------- ⋅ -------------- ⎞⎠ ⋅ U Nom
I 1n 100%
W = 1 + ⎛⎝ --------------- ⋅ --------------- ⎞⎠ ⋅ 20.5 kV = 20.67 kV

100 A 6.67%
800 A 100%
This corresponds to (100 A / 800 A) 6.67% = 0.83% of the

nominal voltage.
Thus, the setpoint value XR would have to be set lower by

0.83% in order to maintain the voltage level at 20.5 kV during a
light load.
Adjusting the settings

At full load, the reduction of the setpoint value, however, causes
the command variable W to be lowered so that a compromise
must be found between the increase in Gnom [%] and the
decrease in the reduction of the setpoint value.

16.3 Summary and Examples

for Current Influencing
Parameters
Gradient:
Specifies the setpoint value increment compared to 100 V with
nominal current.
e.g. Gradient, Grad., = 5 %:
When the nominal current is reached, the voltage is
increased by 5 % of 100 V. The nominal current can be
1/5 A. In this case, when the nominal current is reached the
setpoint value increases by 5 V.
Limitation:
Max. setpoint value increment in % compared to 100 V.
e.g. Limitation, Lim., = 4%:
Max. voltage increment of 4 % compared to 100 V is 4 V.

REG - D™
No further increase takes place once the 4 V limit is
reached.
The tolerance band remains unchanged. The permissible
regulative deviation is not affect by the voltage increase.
The setpoint value, corrected to include the voltage increase, is
not shown. However, it is indicated by the black colour of the
arrow in the bar graph display.

Current-influencing programs
Apparent current: Ixd = I
The apparent current is used to determine the voltage increase.
Increases only take place when the active power is positive.

REG - D™
This method can be used to compensate the voltage drop if
cosϕ is relatively constant.
Active current: Isd = Iw = I x cosϕ (with +/- sign)

The active current is used to determine the change in the
setpoint value. If a negative active current flows (energy fed
back), the setpoint value is decreased. The limitation is
symmetrical and applies to both increases and decreases.
Reactive current: Ixd = Ib = I x sinϕ (with +/- sign)

The reactive current is used to determine the voltage increase.
The increase/decrease is independent of the sign of the active
power. It is increased if the reactive current is inductive, and
decreased if it is capacitive.
This program is primarily used if the cosϕ of the network varies
by a large amount.
LDC (Line Drop Compensation):

Used to compensate the voltage drop on a line when the active
and reactive resistances are known. This process can also be
used if the cosϕ of the consumer is not constant. The gradient
is not required for this process. The limitation, however,
continues to apply.

16.4 Regulative deviations
16.4.1 Regulative deviation Xw

The regulative deviation Xw is the difference between the actual
value X of the regulating variable and the command variable W.
The sign of the regulative deviation can be plus or minus.
Note
The regulative deviation Xw corresponds to the negative
regulation difference Xd.

Xw [ V ] = X [ V ] – W [ V ] = Xw
-----------------------------------
100 %
Xw [ V ]
Xw [ % ] = ---------------- ⋅ 100 %
W[V]
16.4.2 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz

To minimise the number of switches of the tap-changer, a
deviation in the line voltage from the command variable W is
tolerated within certain limits, i.e. a specific regulative deviation
is permissible.
This permissible regulative deviation Xwz is entered as a ± n%
of the control variable W (independent of all the other limit values
expressed in %) and sets the limits for the maximum
permissible relative fluctuation of the line voltage above and
below the control value W. For this reason the absolute limit
values of the tolerance band are dependent on the set control
variable W.
When the line voltage dips into this tolerance band, the
regulation process is interrupted and the integrator is set to
zero so that the regulation/integration process only begins
again when the line voltage overshoots or undershoots the
limits of the tolerance band.
Thus fluctuations in the line voltage within the permissible
regulative deviation have no effect on the regulation process.

REG - D™
16.4.3 Displaying the permissible regulative deviation Xw
The deviation of the line voltage X from the command variable
W is indicated analogously on the scale of the Relay. The colour
of the pointer changes from light to dark when the voltage
exceeds the permissible regulative deviation Xwz.
When indicating the permissible regulative deviation Xwz, the

setpoint value correction Xk for compensating the voltage drop
in the line is not taken into consideration.
16.4.4 Setting the permissible regulative deviation Xwz

The tolerance band determined by the permissible regulative
deviation Xwz (± n% of the control variable W) must be higher than
the tap-change of the transformer in percent, because
otherwise the changed output voltage of the transformer would
violate the opposite limit of the permissible regulative deviation
after a control command has been executed. Furthermore,
after having reached the integral value, a control command
would be output to reset the previous transformer tap-changer
position. This procedure would be constantly repeated, i.e. this
would lead to frequent tap-changes of the transformer and thus
to unwanted fluctuations in the line voltage.
In order to have sufficient distance from the upper and lower

limits of the permissible regulative deviation, the following
formula applies
2 ⋅ |± Xwz [%]| > ΔUTap [%]

or
|± Xwz [%]| > 0.5 ΔUTap [%]
Guide value for Xwz

The following guide value is generally recommended for the
permissible regulative deviation Xwz:
|± Xwz [%]| ≥ 0.6 ΔUTap [%]

REG - D™
Example for determining the permissible regulative deviation
Nominal voltage UNom = 100 kV
Number of levels ± 15
Setting range 85 kV ... 115 kV
Tap-change increment: (115 kV - 85 kV): 30 levels =
1 kV / tap-change
Thus 1 kV corresponds to the value of 1% of Unom
With this data, the permissible regulative deviation Xwz should

not be less than the value Xwz = ± 0.6 ⋅ 1.0 kV = ± 0.6 kV (±
0.6%) The absolute limits are thus 100.6 kV and 99.4 kV.
If, for example, the upper limit is exceeded and the voltage is set
back by one tap-change, the voltage is reduced to 100.6kV –
1.0 kV = 99.6 kV, i.e. the lower limit of 99.4 kV is not undershot.
The voltage remains within the range of the permissible
regulative deviation.
16.5 Monitoring extreme operation values

(faults)
If a fault occurs in the network, e.g. inadmissibly or extremely
high/low voltages or currents, the Relay must not switch the
transformer tap-changer to the highest or lowest tap-changer
position. This occurs to prevent the line voltage having an
impermissible value after the cause of the fault has been
eliminated. These monitoring tasks are carried out by additional
limit signals.
16.5.1 Limit signal

Switching time delay
The difference in time between when the limit value is reached
and when the signal is transmitted is defined as the time delay.
A specific time delay can be selected (parameterised) for each
limit signal.
Note
Please note that the actual switching time delay can
exceed the parameterised switching time delay by up to
2 seconds. This difference is due to the procedure
selected for determining the measured values.

REG - D™
Switching hysteresis, switching difference Xsd
The difference in the input values between the switching on and
off of the limit signal after the limit value violation has
disappeared is defined as the switching difference. The
hysteresis Xsd has a standard value of 1% of 100 V
(corresponds to 1 V).
Assignment of the limit signal

Each of the following limit values is monitored by one limit
signal. A special additional function is activated for certain types
of limit signals.
In the menu you have the option of selecting if a binary output
or LED should be activated if a limit value violation occurs.
Note
Any number of additional limit signals can be generated
via the REG-L programming language (as a background
program).
Setting the limit values/plausibility check

The limit signal can be set freely for each limit signal within a
given range. Therefore the user must check the logical relations
of the values with each other.
Limit signal trigger (G1)

When U > G1: Activation of the INHIBIT LOW Relay function (no
control commands are output) in the event of undervoltage.
Setting range: 100 V ≤ G1 ≤ 150 V
The limit signal can be connected to a binary output (Rel 3, Rel
4, Rel 5 or Rel 7 ... REl 10 if required.
The limit value violation is displayed on the screen and can be
additionally signalled via a freely programmable LED (LED 1 ...
LED7).
Backwards high-speed switching limit signal (G2)

When U > G2: Activation of the BACKWARDS HIGH-SPEED
SWITCHING function (for more information on the fastest series
of control commands, see “High-speed switching Add-On” on
page 240).

REG - D™
Setting range: 1.00 X0 ≤ G2 ≤ 1.35 X0 (0% ... +35%)
The limit value is normally given as a %.
X0 represents the reference value (setpoint).
No more control commands will be output after the dip into the
tolerance band ± Xwz. The limit signal can be connected to a
binary output (Rel 3, Rel 4, Rel 5 or Rel 7 ... Rel 10) if required.
Furthermore, the limit value violation can be signalled by a freely
programmable LED (LED1 ... LED7).
Forward high-speed switching limit signal (G3)

When U < G3: Activation of the FORWARDS HIGH-SPEED
SWITCHING function (for more information on the fastest series
of control commands, see “High-speed switching Add-On” on
page 240).
This function is not available if the Relay is operated in the
“Creeping Net Breakdown” mode.
Reason: A rapid sequence of raise commands cause the Relay
to switch to standstill.
Setting range: 0.65 X0 ≤ G3 ≤ 1.00 X0 (-35% ... 0%)
X0 represents the reference value (setpoint).
The limit value signal can be connected to a binary output (Rel

3, Rel 4, Rel 5 or Rel 7 ... Rel 10) if required. Furthermore, the
limit value violation can be signalled using a freely
programmable LED.
Limit signal > U (G4)

The overvoltage >U is a limit value that only influences the
If the voltage exceeds the >U limit then all “raise” commands
are surpressed.
The limit value particularly influences the regulation when
operating with several setpoints and using an absolute value
(100 V / 110 V) as the limit value for >U.

Limit signal >I (G5)
I > G5: selectable action and activation of the STANDSTILL
Relay function (no control commands are output) in the event of
overcurrent. However, the STANDSTILL function will only be

On 5”. The activate function is signalled by an LED on the front
panel of the REG-D.
The selected rated value (1 A or 5 A) always applies as the limit
value reference X0.

I < G7: Activation of the STANDSTILL Relay function in the
event of undercurrent (no issuing of control commands).
Setting range: 0.0 X0 ≤ G7 ≤ 1.00 X0
X0 represents the reference value.
You can chose 100 V or 110 V as the reference value for the
setpoint.

limit value violation can be signalled by a freely programmable
LED (LED1 ... LED7).

REG - D™
The selected rated value (1 A or 5 A) applies as the limit value

Inhibit low limit value transmitter (G8)

When U < G8: Activation of the limit signal and of the
STANDSTILL Relay function (no issuing of control commands
see “Relay inhibit low function” on page 241).
Setting range: 0.25 X0 ≤ G8 ≤ 1.00 X0 (-75% ... +0%)
X0 represents the reference value.
You can chose 100 V or 110 V as the reference value for the
setpoint.
(See also Add-On 5, F2)
limit value violation can be signalled using a freely
programmable LED.
Reference value X0 and reference value for the limit values

The upper and lower limit value may be set as a relative value in
% of the present setpoint value or as an absolute value in
relation to the nominal value of the voltage Unom see
“Parameters” on page 292.
Example for relative limits:
If the “Setpoint value X” is selected as the reference value, all of
the limit values change in relation to the respective entered
setpoint value.
Setpoint value: X = 102.0 V; limit values: ± 10%;
thus the upper limit is 112.2 V and the lower limit is 91.8 V.
Example for absolute limits:
If “Unom= 100 V” is selected as the reference value, all of the limit
values refer to the nominal voltage of 100 V and are
independent of the present setpoint value.
Reference value: Unom = 100 V, Setpoint: 105 V, limit values: ±
10% of Unom; thus the lower limit is 90 V and the upper limit is
110 V.

REG - D™
16.6 Add-Ons
16.6.1 High-speed switching Add-On

Using the high-speed switching add-on switches off the
reaction delay (regulation behaviour, see page 245), i.e. the
control commands for the tap-changer are output in the
shortest possible time sequence.
The Relay quickly regulates the tap-changer via successive
control commands in the same direction (RAISE or LOWER)
back to a tap-changer position with which the voltage of the
transformer is within the permissible regulative deviation.
The high-speed switching then becomes inactive again.
This ensures that transformer output voltages that are too high
or too low are quickly eliminated.
The user can set the shortest time between control commands
(the tap-changer in operation time) according to the time
requirement of a tap-change operation (SETUP 5, F1, F2) so
that only command change operations that can be carried out
are given.
There are two different types of control to avoid the tap-
changer drives being triggered by a sequence of control
commands that is too fast.
➪ If a Relay input E1 ... E16 is configured as the tap-changer
in operation input (with the exception of E5 and E6), the
Relay will not output the control commands until 2 s after
the tap-changer in operation “drops”.
➪ If the tap-changer in operation is not output to the Relay, the

Relay will output the control commands with a time
separation corresponding to the set “maximum time tap-
changer in operation” (SETUP 5 - Add-On 1).
Activation
The high-speed switching operation of the Relay is activated
either internally (standard program) or externally via a binary
signal. A binary input signal can also be used to activate the
high-speed switching operation even if the actual voltage value
is not sufficient to require it.

REG - D™
16.6.2 Relay inhibit low function
The output of control commands to the tap-changer is blocked
in inhibit low (standstill) mode (the output is “set to a standstill”).
The standstill is active until the line voltage no longer violates the
limit value for the standstill. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring will continue to function again normally
approximately 5 s after the line voltage violation has ended.
Activation
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
switched to inhibit low either internally (standard program) or
externally via a binary signal.

16.6.3 Measuring the “Creeping Net Breakdown”
The “Creeping Net Breakdown” add-on is mainly used to
increase the voltage back to the starting value if the voltage on
the high voltage side has fallen for a certain period of time.
A Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring generally
initially reacts with tap-changes in the direction of a higher
voltage in such cases to maintain a constant secondary
voltage.
If the voltage on the primary side suddenly returns to its default
value, the transformer will be set to a tap that is too high (high
voltage) and will have to be regulated back in the direction of a
lower voltage.
In order to steady the network, these procedures may be
optimised by means of the “Creeping Net Breakdown” add-on.
If the regulative deviation is so large that - during a certain time
period - more than a specified number of control commands in
the same direction (only RAISE) is required to eliminate the
regulative deviation, the REG-D can react in two different ways:
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

does not output any control commands. It leaves the
“AUTOMATIC” operation mode and remains in the
“MANUAL” operation mode until the switchover back to
“AUTOMATIC” is carried out, either via the MANUAL key or
via a remote control command.
➪ The Relay blocks all further control commands for a lock

time (1 min ... 20 min).
This lock is automatically removed by the following:
a) after the selected lock time has run out
or
b) after the first LOWER control command is output
(i.e. when the upper limit of the regulative deviation
is violated).

REG - D™
The “creeping net breakdown” function is cancelled if the
measurement value returns to being within the permissible
range or if a LOWER command is issued.
Note
The “Creeping Net Breakdown” function suppresses
the “Forward High-Speed Switching” function.
This function is not suitable for operating medium-voltage networks.

This is due to the fact that in the standard version (equipped
with one only voltage measurement!), the Relay cannot
recognise whether the change in the secondary side voltage is
due to a creeping net breakdown on the primary side or a
change in the load on the secondary side. Changes in the load
on the secondary side must, of course, be immediately
rectified.
In general, this function can only be reliably achieved by

implementing an additional voltage measurement on the
primary side.
In this manner, the Relay can decide even in medium-voltage
networks whether the fault is on the primary or the secondary
side. This requires an additional program which can be ordered
from our company headquarters as needed.
From firmware version 2.04 onwards a regulative procedure is
possible in which the secondary side of the transformer is
regulated whilst deriving the “creeping net breakdown”
information from the primary side only (since it is equipped with
two voltage transformers (M+)).
If you are interested in this, please contact our headquarters.

REG - D™
16.6.4 Add-On: monitoring the “maximum tap-change
difference”
the MANUAL operation mode.
ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two
transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the
specified permissible difference.
An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not
desired. Otherwise only the Relay that carried out the tap-
change that lead to the permissible maximum tap difference
being exceed will be switched over to the MANUAL operation
mode.
Note
If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company
headquarters.
16.6.5 Add-On: monitoring the tap-changer

After receiving the control command, the Relay controls the
correct switching of the tap-changer by detecting the tap-
change signal (tap-changer in operation) sent back by the tap-
changer and then compares this value with the maximum tap-
change in operation time which was previously set via the menu
(Setup 5, Add-On 1).
If the tap-change signal continues to be output for a longer
period of time, it is possible that the tap-changer has an error.
The tap-change operation can be interrupted using a freely
programmable output R 3, R 4, R 5, R 7 ... R10.

REG - D™
16.7 Time behaviour of the Relay when a control
command is output
Requirements
The optimal time behaviour of the Relay can be achieved
through the maximum voltage constancy parameter at the
minimum number of tap-changes. Moreover, large regulative
deviations should be rectified faster than small regulative
deviations.
There are two options for complying with the requirements

specified above:
➪ The regulative deviations are summed up to a specified

integral value before the Relay outputs a control command.
If the line voltage dips into the tolerance band (± Xwz) before
this integral value is reached, the integrator will be set to
zero.
➪ The regulative deviations are constantly evaluated before

the integration by means of a selected function (defined as
Xwb). Depending on the selected function, the evaluation
factor is increased either linearly or non-linearly according to
the amount of the regulative deviation. Therefore, large
regulative deviations (voltage deviations) are rectified faster
than small ones. Large deviations in the voltage from the
command variable trigger a control command after a short
period of time (the integral value is reached quickly),
whereas small voltage deviations take longer to trigger a
control command.
Basic time and time factor

The evaluation factor variable of the regulative deviation Xw is
not indicated directly, rather it is indicated as the time tg in
seconds which passes from the beginning of the integration to
the triggering of a control command provided that the regulative
deviation is constant. Thus, the relationship between the
regulative deviation and the reaction time can be recognised
immediately.
If, for operational reasons, a slower reaction of the Relay is
desired, the time tg may be increased by multiplying it with the
time factor FZ
(0.1 ... 30).

REG - D™
The time interval that elapses between the signalling of a control
command and the actual triggering of a control command is in
part determined by the switching time delay.
tv = tb · Ft
Time behaviour of the Relay

The switching time delay tv is thus dependent on the present
value of the regulative deviation Xw, the selected characteristic
line Xw/tg and the entered value of the time factor Ft, for a set
permissible regulative deviation Xwz.

Example:
The permissible regulative deviation is set to Xwz = ± 2%, the
time factor is set to 5. From the set of curves, the curve for Xwz
= ± 2% has been selected. Using the curve, one obtains the
following values in the table:
Xw [%] = [(X - W)/W] 100% 2% 3% 4% 5% 10%

16.7.2 Integrated time program
Both the “delta U * t = const” and “REG- 5A/E” time programs
function in the following manner: after the integral of the sum of
the voltage deviation ΔU and the time “t” has reached a
specified value, a tap-change operation is carried out and after
this the integrator is reset to zero.
If the voltage leaves the voltage band directly after a regulating
procedure, the Relay waits for the time specified in the
algorithm (time from the characteristic curve multiplied with the
time factor) before it initiates another control procedure.
Considering a bucket that is asymmetrically hung is helpful for
understanding the two integrating procedures.
Picture 1 Picture 2
Memory is filled with a Memory is filled with a
small regulative deviation large regulative deviation
The bucket tips when it is filled and this is analogous to a step-

change operation carried out by the Relay.
The analogy can be interpreted as follows:
The greater the amount of water that flows into the bucket per
unit time (the larger the voltage deviation), the quicker the
bucket will fill up and tip over (the Relay carries out a tap-
change).
The smaller the amount of water that flows into the pail per unit
of time (the smaller the voltage deviation), the longer it takes for
the bucket to fill up and tip over (the Relay carries out a tap-
change).
The volume of water flowing (e.g. m3/unit time) corresponds to

the voltage deviation.

REG - D™
This algorithm is based on the operating experience that small
regulative deviations do not need to be rectified immediately,
since in general they do not lead to a fault in the operation and
also they can often “heal” themselves due to changes to the
load (voltage returns to being within the bandwidth again).
The setpoint value and bandwidth boundaries are generally
parameterised such that the voltage lies in the middle of the
tolerance band.
In situations in which the voltage has changed such that it still
lies within the band but close to the limit due to a particular load
situation or a change to the primary voltage, small changes in
the voltage or the load will always lead to a band violation.
However, since small regulative deviations are accompanied by
a long integration or reaction time (it takes a long time for the
bucket to fill), the voltage spends a large part of a particular
amount of time outside the permissible band.
In such cases, specific intervention of the Relay is desired.
16.7.3 Trend memory

The “Trend memory” parameter can be used to accelerate all
the algorithms.
It functions as follows:
If the voltage leaves the tolerance band, the integration process
is initiated − the bucket is filled. The Relay performs a tap-
change operation after a certain time has elapsed, which is
determined by various parameters (the entered permissible
regulative deviation, the actual regulative deviation, time factor).
If the voltage returns to the bandwidth without the Relay having
issued a tap-change command, the integrator is only reset to
zero after the time that is parameterised for the trend memory
has elapsed and not immediately.
However, if the voltage leaves the tolerance band again a short
time later, the tap-change command will tend to be issued
earlier because the integrator was not “emptied” and so will
become full quicker.
However, once a tap-changing command is issued, the
memory is set back to zero.
Therefore by using the “trend memory” parameter it can be
achieved that the integrator is not immediately reset to zero if
the voltage returns to being within the permissible tolerance
band. If the voltage leaves the bandwidth at a point in time at

REG - D™
which the memory has not been completely emptied, the Relay
can react earlier, since the integration procedure or “filling”
procedure doesn’t start from zero, but rather at a higher level.
In general: The time, which is derived from the selected time

program, is crucial to the memory loading process which
triggers a tap-change operation when the memory is 100% full.
However, the emptying of the memory is dependent on the time
that is specified as the trend memory time.
Note
For the delta U * t = const and
REG 5A/E time programs, the time to be entered for
loading of the memory can be derived from the
appropriate curves. For the “Const” time program use
time T1 (see page 252).
Note
The function of the trend memory is explained using an
example at the end of this section.
A progress bar is incorporated in the Relay screen so that the

present trend memory level can be judged by the user.
The progress bar is displayed as a black bar at the bottom of

the screen. The bar is black when the memory is filling (i.e. the
voltage lies outside of the tolerance band), and when it is
emptying it changes colour and become lighter.
A tap-change operation is carried out when the bar reaches the
right hand side of the screen. If the bar is invisible, this means
that the trend memory has been completely emptied.
16.7.4 “Const” time program

“Const” stands for constant reaction times, which cannot
sensitively be adjusted to the respective regulative deviations,
as is
the case for the “delta U * t = const” or “REG- 5A/E”
procedures.
In these programs, two differing times are specified, which
cause the Relay to perform a tap-change operation dependent
on the extent of the regulative deviation.

REG - D™
Time T1 is effective if the voltage has a value that lies outside of
the voltage band, but which can be brought back within the
band with a single tap-change operation. T2 is valid when larger
deviations have to be rectified.
The limit above which T2 is valid is therefore the same as the

specified permissible regulative deviation.
Example:
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%
Actual regulative deviation is 3%
T1 = 10 s, T2 = 3 s

One advantage of this procedure is that in the case of regulative

deviations which are larger than one tap-change, the operator
can easily see when the next tap-change command will be
issued.
A disadvantage compared to the other procedures is that over
a long period of time the number of tap-changes will probably
be larger than would be the case for the “ΔU * t = const.” and
“REG 5A/E” regulation algortihms.
As a general settings recommendation, the time T2 should be
shorter than time T1 since large regulative deviations should be
rectified more quickly than small ones.
Of course, the absolute values of the times in this case also
depend on the specific conditions at the respective feeding
point (load structure and behaviour etc.).
Sensible values for the trend memory can also only be derived
from practical experience.

REG - D™
The entire situation is illustrated in five diagrams.
Diagram 1 shows the progression of the voltage with time.
The voltage leaves the tolerance band at time T0 and returns
again 20 seconds later.
After a further 10 seconds, the voltage leaves the permissible
tolerance band again, and after 30 seconds a “lower” tap-
change is issued by the Relay which returns the value to within
the band.
Diagram 2 shows how full the trend memory is (fill level). The
Relay performs a tap-change if the fill level reaches the
normalised value “1”. If, on the other hand, the graph reaches
the x-axis, the memory is completely emptied.
Diagram 3 shows the sequence of control commands which are
issued by the Relay when voltage deviations occur.
Diagrams 4 und 5 show the behaviour that occurs without the
trend memory.
After 20 seconds the integrator for T1 is reset to zero, and after
30 seconds it begins to fill again − starting from zero.
A further 40 seconds (T1) are required to fill the memory to a
level where a tap-change command is issued.
The way the trend memory operates can be best illustrated

using diagram 2.
In order to explain the individual steps more clearly, the diagram
has been divided into three sections, i, ii and iii.
Section i: The voltage is outside the voltage band, the integrator
for time T1 is running.
If the voltage were to remain outside the tolerance band for 40
seconds, the Relay would issue a control command. However,
since the voltage returns to being within the tolerance band
after 20 seconds, the regulation procedure is surpressed.
Section ii: The integrator for time T1 is half full (50% or 20

seconds in total). Emptying now begins according to the time
that has been entered for the trend memory (100% = > 20
seconds).
Section iii: The voltage only remains inside the permissible
tolerance band for 10 seconds and then exceeds the allowed
voltage range again.

REG - D™
During this time the integrator could only be reduced from 50%
to 25% full (20 seconds to 10 seconds). If the voltage now
remains outside the band for a further 30 seconds the Relay will
issue a tap-change command.
For the voltage progression described in the example the time

before the Relay intervenes is reduced from 70 seconds to 60
seconds by employing the trend memory (refer also to
diagrams 4 and 5).
16.7.5 Setting the time factor Ft

For a normal 24 hour load curve, an empirical value between 2
and 3 is suitable for the time factor. If the 24-hour load curve is
more constant, the rectification process can be accelerated by
choosing a smaller time factor.

16.8 E-LAN (Energy Local Area Network)
Each bus station (REG-D) has two E-LAN interfaces each. So-
called line-to-line operation is enabled through these interfaces.
In this operation mode, each Relay works as a bus station and,
at the same time, as a bus repeater which regenerates
distorted rectangular forms and which increases the output
level to the setpoint value. Up to 255 bus stations can be
connected to the E-LAN.
All bus stations can thus communicate with each other or be
centrally controlled (see WinREG operating manual for selection
and details).

REG - D™
Types of lines
Each of the E-LAN interfaces of a bus station can operate on a
2-wire line or on a 4-wire line (RS485). A 2-wire line is usually
selected because this is the only option which permits a bus
configuration with several bus stations on the same bus line.
The transmission line must be connected with a 100 Ω resistor
at its beginning and end. Reflections can occur if the
terminating resistance is not present. These distort the signal,
increase the line damping and thus reduce the maximum
transmission distance of the line.
The terminating resistor is already integrated into the REG-D
and may be switched on and off via the operating panel
(termination).
Topology
The topology of the network, i.e. the connection of each bus
station to the bus, may be freely selected and combined.
The maximum permissible line length in the E-LAN is
determined by the transmission rate and by the line data. In the
RS485, the length is normally ≤ 1.2 km with a transmission rate
of 62.5 kBaud.
Only a 4-wire line can be used if a booster (same function as a
bus repeater) is installed to increase the permissible line length
(1.2 km). The necessary terminating resistors will then be
activated automatically (it is no longer necessary to select
termination).
Bus segment
Up to 16 bus devices can be connected to one bus station (a
line without boosters between the first and last device).
Up to 32 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment if
all of the spur-line connections are as short as possible and the
total loop resistance of the transmission line is < 100 Ohms.
Multimaster structure
The E-LAN has a multimaster structure, i.e. any bus station may
be declared to be the bus master.

REG - D™
Each Relay on the bus works completely independently within
E-LAN and has access to all of the data of the other bus
stations.
Unique addressing
Each bus station on the E-LAN must be assigned a unique
address. 255 different, freely selectable addresses are
possible.
An address has the form: A, A1 ... A9, B, B1 ... B9, Z, Z1 ... Z4
Bus station index

Each bus station automatically generates an internal index of all
bus stations with valid addresses in the E-LAN.
Every three seconds, each bus station in the E-LAN sends a so-
called broadcast message to all of the other bus subscribers so
that the latter can adapt their internal index accordingly.
If the broadcast message of a bus station is interrupted for
more than 20 seconds, the other bus stations will delete the
corresponding bus station from their internal index. A list of all
bus stations can be loaded via the operating panel.
The background program can be used to specify that the

omission of a bus station is indicated via a signal (relay, LED) or
a text message on the display.

REG - D™
16.9 Voltage regulation with parallel-switched
transformers
If parallel-switched transformers do not have same data (EMK,
uk, switching group), an additional current (reactive circulating
current) will permanently flow within this parallel-switching
circuit. This circulating current generates losses and is
independent of the load current and must therefore be avoided.
Regulation criteria
In the case of parallel-switching on a busbar, the terminal
voltage of all of the transformers – even with different tap-
change positions - is compulsorily set to the same amount. This
is why the voltage alone cannot be a regulation criteria for
transformers with different parameters. To be able to control
transformers switched in parallel on a busbar to the
correspondingly required voltage and to the same tap-change
position, the voltage regulation must be supplemented by a
circulating current regulation.
If all the transformers are the same, then stable parallel-
switching can be achieved using the voltage and tap-changes
(master-slave, MSI).
Command variable
regulate the voltage on the undervoltage side (on the measuring
transformer) of each transformer to a common command
variable which depends on the sum current of the transformers
switched in parallel. It is assumed that the network is usually
loaded symmetrically, i.e. that the current intensity in each one
of the three phases is approximately the same.
Sum current (only relevant in the event of current influence)

All the transformer currents can be summed in one Relay by
crosslinking the REG-D Relays for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring of all the parallel-switched transformers
using one bus. This sum current and the selected gradient of
the Uf/IL characteristic line is the uniform base for the current-
dependent influence of the command variable W for all Relays.
Due to the use of a normalised sum current, the gradient of the
Uf/IL characteristic can be set independently of the number and

(nominal power, short circuit voltage), so that changes in these
parameters do not require resetting the gradient Gnom.
16.9.1 Regulation programs

for transformers switched in parallel
The following procedures are available:
➪ ΔI sin ϕ − procedure
(minimisation of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ)
➪ ΔI sin ϕ (S) − procedure

(minimisation of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ
with different transformers))
➪ Master-slave procedure (forced parallel operation, same

tap-change position)
➪ Δcos ϕ − procedure
(minimisation of the reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ for
transformers that cannot communicate using E-LAN)
➪ MSI - Master Slave Independent − procedure
Parameters
Parameters determine the extent to which the parallel
regulation programs may affect regulation.
Different parameter menus are available depending on the type
of regulation program selected for the parallel-switching of the
transformers.
➪ Influence of the circulating current regulation
➪ Limitation of the influence of the circulating current

➪ Setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset)

➪ Nominal power of the transformer
➪ Transformer group list (addresses of Relays controlling
transformers operating in parallel on a busbar. These can
be activated via the menu or via a binary signal)

REG - D™
16.9.2 Functional principle
Minimisation of the reactive circulating current
The reactive component (Icirc sin ϕ) of the circulating current
should ideally be zero or at least be minimised.
Since the voltage cannot be changed continuously (tap-
changes occur in increments), it is generally not possible to
achieve the condition Icirc sin ϕ = 0.
To minimise the reactive component of the circulating current,
each Relay measures the reactive component I sin ϕ of the load
currents for each transformer of the group list, calculates the
reactive circulating current Icirc sin ϕ of the assigned
transformer and thus sets the tap-changer position in such a
way that this reactive circulating current is minimised.
16.9.3 Influence of the circulating current regulation

The size of the voltage change depends on the “influence of the
circulating current regulation” parameters as well as on their
degree of limitation. Larger permissible circulating currents (i.e.
influence of circulating current regulation is lower) cause the
precision of the circulating current regulation to be lowered
which could result in tap-change differences of more than one
tap-change.
Limitation of the influence of the circulating current regulation

Under normal operating conditions, the voltage regulation and
the circulating current regulation are independent of each other
(the limitation value of the influence of the circulating current
regulation lies far above the normal operation value).
Only under extreme conditions, including:
➪ Parallel-switching operations of transformers with
previously different tap-change positions
➪ Manual change of the tap-change position

➪ Δcos ϕ-regulation for cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset
can be regulated to achieve either optimal voltage stability or
optimal minimisation of the reactive circulating current. The user
chooses his/her priority by setting the respective parameters.
This means that if voltage regulation is to be given priority over
circulating current regulation, the influence of the circulating

REG - D™
current regulation can be limited to a minimum value which
must nevertheless be higher than zero.
16.9.4 Activation of the regulation program

Both the regulation program selected via the menu, and the
addresses of the transformers/Relays specified for parallel-
switching are stored in a “group list” (SETUP 1, programs...,
Par. parameters...). The parallel-switching operation and its
reset are activated via a freely selectable binary input (SETUP 5,
Add-On 6).
The corresponding activation may be carried out via a pulse or
a high-level permanent signal.
A self-learning regulation program (Paragramer) is also available
through which the Relays on the E-LAN permanently check
which transformers are feeding on which busbar. The
transformer group list is constantly updated in accordance with
these results.
The ParProg parameter can be used to determine if a parallel

program is active or not and can be assigned to a freely
programmable LED or relay. An error in the regulation program
is indicated with ParErr or TapErr.
Further information can be found in chapter 9.

REG - D™
16.9.5 Description of the regulation programs
The ΔI sin ϕ procedure
Functional principle:
The value of the reactive current should be the same value, IbA
= IbB = IbC = ... , for each of the parallel-switched transformers
A, B, C,... .
Area of application:
Parallel operation on a busbar with a maximum of 10
transformers with nearly equal nominal power, nearly equal
short circuit voltage and the same switching group.
The tap-change increments may differ and the cos ϕ in the
network can take any values requested.
Prerequisites:
The short circuit voltages, Uk of the parallel-switched
transformers should only differ by a small amount:
0.90 uk1 < uk2 < 1.10 uk1. The nominal powers should be
approximately equal.
The ΔI sin ϕ [S] program is available when transformers with
different nominal powers are used.
Parameters to be entered:
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the reactive circulating current ΔIcirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer)
➪ Transformer group list (addresses of Relays, which can be

activated via the menu or via a binary signal, that control
parallel-switched transformers on a busbar)
➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers

(SETUP 5, Add-On 6)

REG - D™
Permissible Icirc:
The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Set all of the transformers in the group list to the same tap-
changer position (operation mode MANUAL) that causes
approx. the same terminal voltage. Then record the value of
reactive current (Ib = Isin ϕ = reactive component of load
curent)(Transducer mode). The value of the reactive current
must be approximately the same in all of the other
transformers.
➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change

position.
➪ The reactive current changes. The difference between the

new value (Ib** = 2nd measured value) and the old value (Ib*
= 1st measured value) is considered to be the 1st
approximation to the “perm. Icirc”.
Since the Relay is supposed to reset the transformer that was

changed by one level back to the previous tap-changer
position, the permissible circulating current (perm. Icirc) must be
set to a slightly lower value than the value found in the 1st
approximation.
i.e.: permissible Icirc > 0.6 (Ib** - Ib*).
Low values can produce oscillations in the regulation, in

particular when the transformers have different tap-changer
increments or different short circuit voltages.
ParErr
To prevent the transformers from “diverging”, a max. tap
difference (SETUP 5, Add-On 6) can be entered that is
monitored in turn by the error flag “ParErr”.
If the set max. tap-change deviation is exceeded, the ParErr
error flag is set and the parallel-switching operation is switched
to the MANUAL operation mode − providing that Sysctrl Bit 6
has been set.

REG - D™
Note
Bit 6 has been set on delivery!
Although the tap-change positions are not required for parallel-

switching according to the ΔI sinϕ, ΔI sinϕ (S) und Δcosϕ
current-dependent procedures, the functioning of the tap-
changer can nevertheless be monitored if required.
Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating

a parallel-switching operation (as mentioned above), because
the regulation only derives the regulation commands from the
current and the voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap-
change position of the transformer.
TapErr
The TapErr error flag signals errors in the transmission of the
tap-change position or errors in the coding/decoding of the
tap-changer. In theΔsinϕ procedure, TapErr is only locally
effective, i.e. it only affects the Relay where the tap error has
occurred.
We recommend assigning the error bit TapErr to a LED and/or

a relay to inform the operating personnel about the status of the
position return signal, making it easier to rectify the error.
If a transformer is operating in parallel, the TapErr error flag is
set when - after a tap-change - the logically expected tap-
changer position is not established within 1.5 x running time of
the tap-changer.
In general, every Relay expects the logically next step that

follows a tap-change increment. If the reaction of the system is
illogical, TapErr will be activated.

Example: The Relay outputs a “raise” command and the

transformer reacts with a lower tap-change or the Relay
outputs a “lower” command and the transformer reacts with a
higher tap-change.

Inverse behaviour implies that the Relay increases the ratio in
the event of a higher tap-change, thus lowering the voltage.
In most cases, it is to be expected that an increase in the tap-
change position results in a higher voltage, whereas a decrease
in the tap-change position results in a lower voltage.

Note
The ΔI sin ϕ (S) procedure

The relationship between the value of the reactive current and
the nominal power should be the same value IbA/SnA = IbB/SnB
= IbC/SnC = ... for each of the transformers A, B, C,... operated
in parallel!
Transformers with different nominal powers which feed via one
busbar in the network. Both the switching group as well as the
short circuit voltages of the transformers should be as equal as
possible because deviations may cause a different load
utilisation of the transformers.
Preconditions:
The permissible limits for different short circuit voltages are as
follows: 0.90 uk1 < uk2 < 1.10 uk1
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the reactive circulating current ΔIcirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer; lb* = 1st measured
value, lb** = 2nd measured value). In the case of
transformers switched in parallel that have different nominal
powers, it is necessary to measure the permissible
circulating current for each transformer separately and to
enter it in the Relay.

The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Set all the transformers in the group list to the same tap-

value of the reactive current Ib. The value of the reactive
current must be approximately the same for all the

➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change

position.
➪ The reactive current Ib changes. The difference between

the new value (Ib** = 2nd measured value) and the old value
(Ib* = 1st measured value) is considered to be the 1st
approximation to Icirc.
Since the Relay is supposed to then reset the transformer to the

previous tap-change position, the permissible circulating
current (permissible Icirc) must be set to the following value.
i.e.: permissible Icirc > 0.6 (lb** - lb*).

Note
Master-Slave procedure
This procedure is suitable for transformers with the same
nominal power, the same tap-change position and the same
tap-changer increments.
After the parallel-switching operation has been activated, the
master will regulate the slave, or - in the master-slave cycle - the
slaves, to the tap-change position which it itself is in. It then
switches to master-slave mode which causes all of the
transformers involved in the parallel-switching operation to
change taps simultaneously.
In the master-slave mode, the slaves do not become slaves
until they have reached the same tap-change position as the
master.
As long as they are not in the same tap-change position, they
remain in the slave mode.
This differentiation and/or change can also be followed in the
status line of the Relay.
The precondition for the master-slave procedure is that each
Relay must be fed the present tap-change position of “its”
transformer by means of a BCD, binary or mA signal.
Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure:
Only transformer types with identical electrical (output, short
circuit voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions,
switching groups, etc.) and mechanical features (number of
tap-change positions, position of the deadband) are suitable for
MSI operation.

REG - D™
A different procedure should be used if one or more of the
parameters differ.
In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay receives the
information regarding the tap-change position of “its”
transformer.
The recording and transmission of the correct tap-change
position is one of the mandatory prerequisites of the master-
slave tap-change equalisation procedure.
Every potential “candidate” must be listed in the group list with
its address in order to notify the system of the number of
Relays/transformers that should take part in parallel operation.
Moreover, the tap-change of each Relay involved in the parallel-
switching operation must be switched on (menu SETUP 5,
Add-On 1, F4) before the parallel-switching operation is
activated.
The MSI (master-slave-independent procedure) is a special
version of the master-slave program (see “Parallel operation
using the “Master-Slave-Independent (MSI)” procedure” on
page 170).
➪ Transformer group list
➪ Selection of activation, see chapter 9.
For operating the master-slave procedure it is mandatory that

the tap-change position is signalled correctly. For this reason,

mode if necessary.

ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two
transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the
specified permissible difference.
An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not

desired. Otherwise only the Relay that carried out the tap-
change that lead to the permissible maximum tap difference
being exceed will be switched over to the manual operation
mode.

If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company
headquarters.
The Δcos ϕ procedure

By means of the set cos ϕset, the ratio between the active
current I cos ϕ and the reactive current I sin ϕ of the transformer
(load currents) is set to the required value. Regulation is
executed in such a way that the cos ϕ of the transformer is
regulated to the set value cos ϕset.
The cos ϕ of the network is set on the Relay. The Relay should
ideally keep this value constant. The constancy of the cos ϕnet
value is the gauge of quality of the regulation. Deviations from
the set value negatively affect the regulation results because
there is a small voltage change when cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset
(inequality between the current value of the cos ϕ of the
network and the set cos ϕset).

REG - D™
The Δcos ϕ emergency program
In order to keep the circulating current regulation stable, even
during bus faults (E-LAN), an emergency program is
incorporated in the ΔI sin ϕ and ΔI sin ϕ (S) programs. This
program is activated as soon as the Relay recognises a bus
error (E-LAN - Error). All Relays connected to the E-LAN will
return to their previous program 10 seconds after the bus error
has been eliminated.
The Δcos ϕ program is used as an emergency program,

whereby the regulation is not carried out to the entered cos ϕset
but to the last current
cos ϕSum** of the system that was measured by the Relay (ϕSum
= angle between the sum current and the line voltage). Thus the
voltage regulation is not affected and the parallel operation of
the transformers also remains stable.
If the cos ϕSum of the network changes (an event that usually
occurs only slowly, not suddenly), the line voltage changes only
slightly, because the Relay tries to find a compromise between
the minimum difference of the measured cos ϕSum* of the
network and the current cosϕSum** of the network as well as the
minimum difference between the command variable W and the
actual value X of the voltage. This ensures that the parallel
operation of the transformers remains stable.

Each active control level of the Relay (MANUAL/ AUTOMATIC)
maintains its status even after a failure of the auxiliary voltage.
If the auxiliary voltage is interrupted, the “WITH” self-conduct
setting causes the Relay to continue running in the
AUTOMATIC operation mode after the event; this is only
possible if the Relay was operating in the AUTOMATIC
operation mode before the malfunction occurred.
In the situation mentioned above, the “WITHOUT” self-conduct
setting would cause the Relay to continue operating in the
MANUAL operation mode after the event.
