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

Monitoring is exclusively designed for implementation in
systems and equipment for electrical energy technology. 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
correspond with the requirements of their field of work.
Monitoring left the factory in a condition that fulfils all relevant
safety regulations. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe
operation, the following instructions and warnings in this
operating manual must be observed.
❑ The REG-DA 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-DA 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-DA 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-DA 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-DA
❑ Maintenance and repair work on a REG-DA Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with an open
door 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.
When wiring, please ensure that the conductors are either

bound short or kept sufficiently short so that they cannot reach
level 2 or 3.
If a fault occurs (connection becomes loose), no line that carries
a voltage that is dangerous when touched (> 50 V) or line to
which a nominal isolation voltage larger than 50 V is assigned,
may come into contact with the circuits in levels 2 and 3.

Lead sealing Each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can
be locked with a password so that the parameters cannot be
changed.
The REG-DA can also be lead-sealed to show whether it has
been opened by unauthorized persons.
For this purpose, a lead-sealing wire is pulled diagonally
through the bores in the lower right corner of the housing corner
and is secured with a lead-sealing tool.
This measure ensures that the device can only be opened by
breaking the lead seal.

3.5 Pin Assignment
Signals with non-exposed voltages are connected first of all on
level I.
All of the circuits on level I have a nominal insulation voltage of
> 50 V and are therefore considered to be non-exposed in
accordance with VDE 0110 (exception: resistance input,
feature D2/D3).
Please observe this condition even if small voltages are present
at the relay contacts or the binary inputs.

Monitoring is equipped for carrying out measurements in
arbitrarily loaded three-phase current networks. Therefore, up
to three current transformers are available.
Voltage regulation generally only requires a single-phase
connection (one delta or phase voltage and one line current),
because it may be assumed that the network conditions at the
transformer are approximately symmetrical (feature M1).
If a more precise measurement of the outputs (P, Q, S) is
required, it is possible to switch over to the Aron circuit. In this
case, two voltages and two currents must be connected
(feature M2).
The third current input is reserved for special cases, which must
be coordinated before the device is delivered.

REG-DA
Auxiliary voltage (terminals 21 and 22)
The protective earth must be connected first, because the
REG-DA is a device with degree of protection I.
A plug-in shoe (6.3 x 0.8 mm) is provided in the lower part of
the housing for connecting the protective earth.
Flat-plug
connection
for protective
earth
The auxiliary voltage is supplied via the twin connector block

(terminals 21 and 22).
Two types of power supply units are available:
Therefore, please ensure that the intended supply voltage
corresponds to the auxiliary voltage of the device as stated on
the printed nameplate, before connecting.
Feature H0:
Both direct and alternating voltages may be connected.
Ranges: 88 V ... 220 V ... 280 V DC
85 V ... 110 V ... 264 V AC
Power consumption: < 15 VA
Feature H1:
18 V ... 60 V ... 72 V DC
Power consumption: < 10 W
The auxiliary voltage, and thus the power supply of the device,
is protected by a T2L 250 V microfuse.
The fuse holder can be opened with a screwdriver. The device
is supplied with a spare fuse.

REG-DA
Note
Please note that the fuse catch should never be
screwed on without having a fuse inserted, because
otherwise it is difficult to open the fuse holder.
3.5.1.2 Control voltage

(Terminals 2, 5 and 8, 10)
The control voltage must be connected to the terminals 2 and
5.
Any voltage from the three-phase current network can be used
as the control voltage. The type of voltage (delta or phase
voltage, UL1L2, UL2L3, UL3L1, U1N, U2N, U3N) must be
communicated to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring via the menu (SETUP 5, F2).
The permissible nominal application range of the control voltage
ranges from 60 to 140 V and is expressed in terms of delta
voltage.
If there is a connection between the phase and N, the nominal
application range of 34.6 to 140 V becomes available.
Please note that a single-pole high-resistance earth connection
affects L1 like a voltage dip if only a phase voltage (e.g. L1N) is
available for measuring the actual value of the voltage.
If a phase voltage is used as the control voltage rather than the
recommended delta voltage, you must pay attention to the
behaviour if a single-pole earth fault occurs.
In high-resistance faults, situations may occur where the
voltage appears to be too high or too low.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
generally switches itself into standby mode for low resistance
faults.
Strongly distorted signals may also be connected by means of
a complex filtering of the measurement voltages and the
measurement currents.
If feature M2 is used, voltage UL1 must be connected to terminal
2, voltage UL2 to terminal 5 and voltage UL3 to terminal 8.
i.e.:
UL1 → 2
UL2 → 5
UL3 → 8
REG-DA
Voltage inputs U1 and U2 are both available for triple-wound
applications.
In each case, this is a special version for the triple-wound
application, each of which is described separately.
3.5.1.3 Current inputs

(Terminals 1, 3 and 4, 6 and 7, 9)
A connection to a power supply is not required for normal
regulator operation.
In many cases, however, the voltage must be raised and/or
lowered according to the respective load.
It is necessary to connect the current transformer I1 (1 and 3)
to carry out this additional task.
However, even without current-dependent regulation, we
recommend connecting the current, because this means that
network can be measured and displayed in the measurement
transducer mode.
Ensure that the correct connection (k, l!) is used when
connecting the current transformer.
Two current transformers must be connected for carrying out
measurements in arbitrarily loaded three-phase networks.
The third current can be calculated on the basis of both of the
measured currents. The third current connection (4, 6) is
reserved for special cases, which will be described separately.
The changeover from 1 A to 5 A or vice-versa is accomplished

via the menu. The use of hardware such as a bridge or jumper
is not necessary.
Caution!
Please observe that the line(s) must be short-circuited
before releasing the lines on terminals 1/3, 4/6 and 7/9.

REG-DA
3.5.1.4 Relay outputs
(Terminals 33 ... 59)
Monitoring has 13 relays.
Relay 13 is used as a life contact and monitors the running of
the processor as well as the supply voltages of the system.
Relays 1 ... 12 are available for regulating and controlling the
transformer.
Relays R1, R2 and R12 are permanently assigned to specific
functions, whereas all of the other relays are freely
programmable. The relays are programmed with frequently
used functions when delivered.

3.5.1.6 Binary inputs and resistance inputs

for tap-change potentiometer (D2/D3)
Only binary inputs 5 and 6 (Manual/Automatic) are permanently
assigned. All of the other binary inputs can be programmed
freely. Frequently used input functions are already assigned to
some of the inputs when it is delivered (see table on Page 24 to
Page 26).
Feedback of the tap-change position is often sent back to the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring as a BCD
code.
The binary inputs are parameterised to correspond with the
number of steps in this case (see "Binary inputs, feature D0/D1"
on page 34, terminals 23 to 32).

REG-DA
If the tap-change position is supplied as a resistance value (e.g.
10 Ohm / tap-change position), the resistance module can be
connected directly to terminals 23 to 26.

Equipping analogue inputs is dependent on the selected

structure of the features.
Both mA inputs and mA outputs may be implemented.
A module can be supplied for measuring the oil temperature
(transformer monitoring), which can be directly attached to a PT
100.
The connection is designed as a three-conductor circuit and
can be used over a distance of approximately 100 m.
The inputs can operate continuously in a short-circuited or
open state. All inputs are electrically isolated from all of the other

REG-DA
circuits. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is equipped with one analogue input as standard.
The type of use can be specified at the time of ordering, or a
specific measurement quantity can be assigned using WinREG
or the device's keyboard.
The outputs can operate continuously in a short-circuited or
open state. All outputs are electrically isolated from all of the
other circuits.

Transformer control panel

7 keys are assigned to the transformer control panel.
The “AUTOMATIC” key with an integrated green LED
lights up when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is functioning in the Automatic operating mode.
The “Manual” key with integrated red LED lights up
when the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
functioning in the manual mode.
The arrow keys “Raise” and “Lower”
can be used to manually select the taps of the transformer.
Prerequisite: The “LOCAL” key (red)
is activated.
All remote control commands via binary inputs or a serial
connection are suppressed when in the “LOCAL” setting.
Remote control is only possible in the “REMOTE” mode (green).

REG-DA
Monitoring was designed in such a way that all of the display
elements of the transformer control panel (“Manual/Auto” and
“Local/Remote”) have to be green when the operating
personnel leave the control room.
The “ACK” key is currently still out of operation.

In the future, this key will be able to be used to acknowledge
process signals and/or fault signals which the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring generates itself and indicates
in the display.
Parameterisation panel
The keys in the parameterisation panel can be used to manually
parameterise the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring.
The “Menu” key is used to switch between the various
operating modes and to select a specific parameterization
menu (SETUP 1 ... SETUP 6)
The “Return” key is used to confirm a specific
parameter in the SETUP menus.
Note
Changes to the parameterisation which are important
for operation can only be carried out in the manual
operating mode.
The “Esc” key is used to exit any menu. The user can
move the cursor within the parameterisation menus using the

4.2 Operating principle
The operation of the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is completely menu-guided and the
principle is the same for each item in the “SETUP” menu.
The following operating principle applies for setting or changing
the regulation parameters:
➪ “MANUAL OPERATING MODE”
changes the operating mode to
manual operation
➪ “MENU” displays the list of operating modes
➪ “MENU” selects the “SETUP” menu item
➪ “MENU” can be used to scroll through the pages of

the “SETUP” menu selection until the required parameter
appears on the display.
➪ Select a parameter via the corresponding function key

(“F1” ... “F5”).
➪ Set the value of the parameter via the function keys.
“F1” increases the value in large steps

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

pressing “RETURN” .
➪ If the entry is protected with a password, enter the

password (see "Password request" on page 95).
➪ Return or leave the “SETUP” menus

“ESC (CANCEL)”
➪ The “SETUP” menus will be automatically exited if no key is

pressed for approx. 15 seconds.

REG-DA
➪ The REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring can be switched back to the automatic
operating mode using “AUTO” once the required
parameters are entered, checked and individually
confirmed by pressing the “RETURN” key.
4.3 Selecting the display mode

The display modes of the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can be selected after pressing the
“MENU” key.
The following modes are available:
❑ Regulator Mode
❑ Measurement transducer mode
❑ Recorder mode
❑ Statistics mode (Monitor mode)
❑ ParaGramer mode
Regulator Mode ➪ The “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
present tap-changer position of the
tap-changing transformer.
The present deviation of the setpoint is
also indicated on a scale (by an
analogue pointer) with a bandwidth of ± 10%.
➪ The colour of the scale’s pointer changes from transparent
to black if the specified permissible regulative deviation is
overshot or undershot.

REG-DA
If required, the present value of the current may also be
displayed.
Note
If “Actual Value” is displayed in capital letters, i.e.
“ACTUAL VALUE”, then the “MEASUREMENT VALUE
SIMULATION” is active!
(see Page 146).
➪ The “F2” key is used to select the “Measurement Measurement

Transducer Mode”. transducer
mode
When the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

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

by pressing either the or key.

REG-DA
The third transducer screen may be selected by pressing either
the or key.
If the device is switched in parallel, it is advantageous to display

the circulating reactive current as well.
The circulating current Icirc provides information about the
share of the current that is “circulating” in the parallel-switched
transformers and not 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 permissible Icirc is 50 A, the circulating reactive current
Icirc is actually -100 A and the value -2 is shown on the scale.
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.
Recorder mode ➪ The “F3” key is used to select the “Recorder

Mode”.
As standard, every Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring is
equipped with a DEMO recorder
(feature: DEMO in 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

REG-DA
of supplying all of the information needed for operating the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring (see "LCD
Display Recorder Mode" on page 50).
In addition to the value of the present 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 present 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-
channel display of U and the two-channel display. The left
channel is always reserved for the control voltage U. The Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers a selection
of measurement quantities for the second channel (see 2nd
recorder menu).
The time axis is the same for both curves. Only the resolution of
the left channel can be changed using the “dx” (F5 key); the
scale of the second channel remains the same.

REG-DA
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 present cursor value
(at the very top) on and off.
I and S are displayed as numeric values
if only two recorder channels (U + I)
have been selected (second recorder
menu (F3, F3, F4)).
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, a specific day and time can be selected in the “Time
Search” submenu.
After returning to the recorder main menu (by pressing F3 or
Enter), the recorder lists the selected time and displays all of the
electrical measurement values as well as the corresponding
tap-changes.
Statistics mode ➪ The “F4” key is used to select the “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.

REG-DA
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.
➪ “F5” selects “ParaGramer mode”. ParaGramer

The ParaGramer is a tool used for
automatically preparing parallel
connections and for the one-line
display of the switching status.
The artificial word ParaGramer is
derived from the terms
parallel and one-line diagram.
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 on
busbar “b”.
If special crosslinks are needed

between the busbars, we recommend
that you contact the headquarters of
our company A. Eberle GmbH & Co.
KG for assistance, since it is not
possible to describe all the options in Crosslink
this operating manual.
The “crosslinks” feature is depicted in
the graphic. With its assistance, two
busbars may be coupled crosswise.

tap-changer position can then be read below the grid.
If historical data is displayed, the term “HIST” appears in the
lower left-hand corner of the grid. Display of past measurement
values may be aborted at any time by pressing the “ESC

REG-DA
“F2” keys (in recorder mode) can be set using the “scroll”
menu item. This helps to speed up the search procedure. It is
also possible to switch back and forth between “Dual Display”
and “MMU display” in the Recorder -1 menu.
Pressing the “F3” key in the Recorder -1 menu will take
you to the Recorder -2 menu. In this menu a specific search
date and time can be set under the menu item “Time Search”.
The type of display (U, U+I, U+I+Phi, U+U2, U+OilT, U+WndT)
can be selected under the menu item “Channel Display”.
The time-line diagram for the selected point in time appears

An extension of WinREG permits the data to be read out.
The data may be archived on the PC from firmware version 1.78
onwards.
The evaluation program can also generate data records that
can be read by MS EXCEL.
Note
If the note “DEMO” appears in the lower left-hand
corner of the grid of the regular recorder display, the
recorder is operating in demo mode. In this operating
mode, the recorder only records the measured values
for a period of 4 - 6 hours. After this period, the older
values are replaced by the new ones.

5 Commissioning

Monitoring is a complex device with many functions.
This variety of functions necessitates a comprehensive
operating manual.
It was considered whether it was better to fill the individual
screenshots with all the theoretical information, or whether it is
better to separate the two parts by summarising the
background information and guiding the reader through the
individual screens.
We finally decided to offer two separate parts with the

corresponding cross-references.
However, in order to make it as easy as possible to start the

parameterisation without constantly having to jump between
two sections, we have inserted a commissioning section which
enables a standard voltage regulation to be carried out step-by-
step.
Thus we based the description on the most important functions
of voltage regulation.
A summary of the limit values with a short explanation and links

to the appropriate chapters can be found on Page 85
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-DA will indicate that it is in regulator mode.
Other modes, such as measurement transducer mode,
recorder mode, statistics mode and ParaGramer mode, can be
selected at any time.

REG-DA
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
parameterised 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, measurement transducer,
recorder, statistics or ParaGramer), press MENU to enter
SETUP 1.
Repeatedly pressing the MENU key selects SETUP 2 to SETUP
6.
If you are already in one of the SETUPs, you can reach all the
other menus by pressing the ← and → keys.
Caution!
Please observe the “Warnings and Notes” on Page 9
without fail!

REG-DA
5.1 Regulator mode
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 present regulative deviation
are shown in addition to the actual voltage value. The present
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
regulative deviation in % are shown in this display.
If you prefer the large display, simply press the F1 key again.

REG-DA
5.2 Measurement transducer mode
Press MENU and then select the measurement transducer

mode using the F2 key.
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 for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring with
feature M1 only gives exact measurement values in equally
loaded 3-phase networks. In this case, the measurement
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.
Note
The I x sin ϕ current is particularly important for parallel-
switching transformers.

REG-DA
5.3 Recorder mode
The measured line voltage and the tap-changing position are

recorded in Recorder mode.
Each second a measurement value that is the arithmetic
average of 10 100ms measurements is stored in the memory
for the voltage.
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
parameterisation program (e.g. with Excel).

REG-DA
5.4 Statistics mode
In statistics mode, tap-changes under load and tap-changes

when idling are differentiated and recorded separately.
The load condition is fulfilled if a current is measured that is 5%
larger than the entered nominal value.
(Example: for In = 1 A → 50 mA; for In = 5 A → 250 mA).
Under load conditions every tap-change is recorded and
displayed.
A double arrow before a particular change indicates that the
transformer is running under load and is on the displayed level.
A single arrow signals that the transformer is idling.

REG-DA
5.5 ParaGramer mode
The ParaGramer is a support tool for the automatic preparation

of parallel connections and the online display of the switching
statuses.
The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel
and one-line diagram.
The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual

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.
Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as
one single busbar by the system.
As shown in the graphic, both transformers T1 and T3 are
working on busbar “a”, whereas transformer T2 is feeding on
busbar “b”.

Please select SETUP 1, F3, F2.
The setpoint value can be increased using F1 and F2 and

If the transformer mounting ratio (Knu) of the voltage
transformer is specified in a procedure carried out later,
then the primary voltage appears in kV in the second
row of the setpoint menu.
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 select 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-DA
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.

Monitoring 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 255.

REG-DA
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

Add-On 1.
Please select SETUP 5, 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.
The tap-change in operation lamp (TC) signal can be connected
to one of the freely programmable inputs (E3 in this case).

REG-DA
A freely programmable relay (in this case relay 5) can be used

for fault reporting (TC-Err).
TC-Err+ → transmits a wiping signal in the event of a fault

TC-Err. → transmits a continuous signal in the event of a
fault
This signal can be used to stop the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring or turn off the motor drive.

5.12 Knx transformer mounting ratios and
transformer connection
This point can be skipped if only the secondary transformer
voltage is required for regulation and the transducer functions
of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring are
not required.
In all other cases, the transformer mounting ratios and the
“sources” of both the current and the voltage must be named.
If it is specified via the REG-DA menu that the current
transformer is connected to external connector L3 and that the
voltage to be measured is between L1 and L2, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring corrects the 90°
angle by itself and delivers the correct values for all the outputs
and for the reactive current I · sin ϕ.
Select the source of the voltage that is to be regulated using F2
or F4 and confirm the selection by using F3 or Enter.
Knu is the quotient of the input voltage and the output voltage
of the voltage transformer and ensures that the primary voltage
is displayed (e.g. 20 kV and not 100V).

confirm the selection with the ENTER key.

5.13 Setting the nominal current

In general it is not necessary to supply the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring with a current to perform
voltage regulation.
If, however, a current-dependent setpoint adjustment is
required or the output data should be displayed, a power
supply must be provided.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can
operate with 1 A and 5 A input signals.

REG-DA
Please select SETUP 5, F2, F4.
Confirm the selection with the ENTER key.
Kni is the quotient of the input current and the output current of
the current transformer.

Kni = 600 A / 5 A
Kni = 120
Confirm the selection with the ENTER key.

REG-DA
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

REG-DA
again, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
automatically restarts the regulation by itself.
In order to prevent short-term voltage breakdowns triggering
the inhibit low of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring, a time delay after which the inhibit low will be
activated can be entered in SETUP 4, F5 using F1, F2, F4 or F5.
Example:
Setpoint value 100 V
If a voltage of < 90 V occurs for a period longer than 10
seconds, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring should change to inhibit low.

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 111

REG-DA
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, 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
fluctuates over a large range.
Setting range: 0,1 ... 10%
The entered percent value always refers to the selected
setpoint value.
Further information: see "Permissible regulative deviation" on

page 109.
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-DA
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 119.
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% *
Further information: see "High-speed switching when

overvoltage occurs (LOWER)" on page 120.

REG-DA
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
rectified slowly.
The forward 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: -35% ... 0% *
Further information: see "High-speed switching when

undervoltage occurs (RAISE)" on page 120.
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 then 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.

surpressed.

The actual value correction of the current primarily corrects
errors in the measurement transformer.

Note
If the parameters are read out and archived via WinREG,
the values of the actual value corrections will be missing,
because they can only be assigned to a certain device
and are not transferable to other devices!
6.2 RS-232 interfaces
6.2.1 COM 1
The COM 1 interface can be used as a parameterisation /
programming interface via a SUB-D plug on the front of the
device.
The standard setting is “ECL”.

This mode enables WinREG to access the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring. Furthermore, time
synchronisation can be carried out via DCF77 (with “DCF77”
setting and connection of a suitable antenna).
A profibus module can be addressed in “PROFI” mode and
information from the E-LAN system bus is directed to COM 1
using the LAN-L or LAN-R setting.

REG-DA
For more information, please also refer to COM 2 from Page 99
onwards.

REG-DA
6.2.2 COM 2
COM 2 is also suitable for the control system connection of a
REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring.
If the REG-DA is connected to other devices (RED-D, REG-DP,
REG-DPA, EOR-D, PQI-D, CPR-D, etc.) via E-LAN, it is
possible to communicate with several devices via a single
interface.
This possibility is not available for all profiles, therefore we
advise you to contact our company headquarters.
If the COM 2 interface is used for permanent connections to
higher-level systems, the COM 1 interface remains available for
connecting a PC, printer or modem.
An (integrated) protocol card (see feature list XW90, XW91 or
L1, L9) is also required for communication with a control
system.
The data exchange between the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and the protocol interface is carried out
via the COM 2 interface.
The integrated protocol card converts the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring information to the standard-
compliant language according to IEC 61870-5-101, -103, -
104, IEC 61850, MODBUS, SPABUS, PROFI.BUS, DNP 3.0,
LON. Similarly, it translates the information from the control
system into a “dialect” that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can understand.

REG-DA
The standard mode is the “MODE ECL”. The selection of the
DCF77 setting and the connection of a suitable aerial should
only be carried out if the time is to be synchronised via DCF77.
If the information of the E-LANs (LAN-L, LAN-R) is to be routed
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 carried out
with the support of our company.
“PROFI” is always the right setting for the COM, if a PROFIBUS-
DP connection should be implemented.
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.

REG-DA
6.3 E-LAN (Energy-Local Area Network)

For background information on the “E-LAN”, please see Page
267 and 32.
Every Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
two complete E-LAN interfaces.
E-LAN LEFT defines the settings for bus left
(Connection level III, Terminals 69, 70, 71 and 72 see Page 42).
E-LAN RIGHT defines the settings for bus right
(Connection level III, Terminals 73, 74, 75 and 76 see Page 42).
Each one of these E-LAN interfaces also functions with either a
2-wire line or 4-wire transmission technology (RS485).

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-DA
If the terminating resistances are not installed (terminated)
properly, reflections may occur at the ends of the lines which
make it impossible to transfer the data securely.
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).

REG-DA
If the terminating resistors are installed properly (only possible

in 2-wire operation), the baud rates are set properly and the
wirings are carried out in the correct way, a cross “ ” should
appear in the square brackets of the two devices that are
connected together.
The cross “ ” indicates that the corresponding neighbouring
station has been detected.
If the connection is not successful, the devices react with a
flashing cross “ ”.
This might be caused by:

1. Wiring fault, open or wrong wiring
2. Identical station codes (each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring must be assigned a unique
address)
3. The baud rates of the Relays for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring that are connected to each other
are not the same
Example:
The E-LAN right bus terminal of Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring <A> is connected with the E-LAN left
bus terminal of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring .
The baud rate of the E-LAN right of Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring <A> must have the same baud rate as
the E-LAN left of Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring .

REG-DA
4. Wrong termination
Only the first and the last device of a bus segment may be
terminated (please also refer to Page 267).
Termination is not required for a four-wire connection.
The first and last terminals only have to be terminated in a two-
wire bus connection.

parameters via the screen and keypad.
If a PAN-D monitoring unit is used in connection with a REG-DA
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
(current ID data of the REG-DA Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring)
The menu item “Status” lists all of the information which is
important for the system identification.
The current input status of both input circuits is displayed as a
hexadecimal number in the REG-DA status (1) in addition to the
firmware version and the battery status, etc..
This information is particularly useful for commissioning. The
hexadecimal numbers should be interpreted as follows:

REG-DA
Inputs Inputs Inputs Inputs

16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Signal Signal Signal Signal
x − x − x x x x − x x x x x − x
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
& Transformer Monitoring, this enables clarification as to
whether or not a signal has been sent to the terminals.
Pressing the right arrow key opens a display menu in

which the active additional features are listed.
In this example the ParaGramer and the four setpoint values are
shown.

REG-DA
Pressing the right arrow key again shows the COM 1 and
COM 2 settings.
A further press of the right arrow key explains the

settings of the E-LAN R and E-LAN L bus interfaces and
provides information about the total number of stations that are
registered in the network.
Pressing the right arrow key again opens a menu in

which COM 3 and the stations that are detected there (ANA-D,
BIN-D) are listed.
COM 3 is not connected in the example.

REG-DA
Pressing the right arrow key again displays the log book.
All important events are stored in the log together with the
respective time and date. Up to 127 events can be stored in
total. The LOG BOOK memory is a First In First Out (FIFO)
rotating memory, i.e. if the memory is full, the oldest entry (event
1) will be replaced with the newest (127th) event.
Use the keys F2 ... F5 to search for a particular entry.

7 Parameterisation of the REG-DA Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring
The most important steps for the parameterising are also

described in „Commissioning” on page 63.
➪ The “LOCAL” and “MANUAL” operating modes must
be set in order to enter parameters.
Note
Changes in the parameters are only accepted in the
“MANUAL OPERATING MODE” .
When the password request is activated, a valid
password must be entered (for information on the
password request refer to “password request” on see
"Password request" on page 95).

7.3 Setpoints
For background information on the “setpoint value” (command
variable)
Display of the setpoint value

If the primary value (the single-underlined value (here: 15 kV))
should be displayed rather than the secondary value, the
transformer mounting ratio Knu must be entered in the menu
„Transformer configuration” on page 138.
7.3.1 1st setpoint value
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
“RETURN” .

REG-DA
7.3.2 Further setpoint values
Proceed in the same way for the 3rd and 4th setpoint values.
When switching from one setpoint value to another via a binary
input, background program or control system, 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 carried out using the PAN-D monitoring unit,
the maximum time TC in operation must always be set directly
on the PAN-D when both units (REG-DA, PAN-D) are
connected via E-LAN.
Note
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).

Reason: The respective setpoint is normally used as a reference
for setting the limit value.
However, if multiple setpoints are used, the trigger limit
“wanders” between the selected setpoints.
In general there is only one voltage − independent of the
selected setpoint − which triggers a transformer or outputs a
message, thus it is always better to enter the trigger limit in V.

7.14 Add-Ons (Relay for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring behaviour)
The various parameterisations are summarised under the “Add-
Ons” menu item.
This menu item contains parameters that cannot be assigned
to other parameter groups. Furthermore, it contains some
parameters that could be assigned to particular parameter
groups, but which were not included where one might expect
to find them out of consideration of the existing SETUP
structure.
Therefore “Add-Ons” is a collection of parameters and special
functions that are often used for special customer
requirements.
In any cases, we recommend having an overview of the
individual screens.
7.14.1 Overview of the Add-Ons menus numbers 1 to 6

“Add-Ons” contains six sub-menus (Add-On 1 to Add-On 6)
that can be selected using the F1 key.

REG-DA

REG-DA
All the menu points are described sequentially below.
The description beings with Add-On 1 and ends with Add-On 6.
7.14.2 Maximum time TC in operation (motor-drive-in

operation-time)
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 voltage monitoring unit is used, the maximum time
of the tap-changer in operation can only be set via the PAN-D
voltage monitoring unit (refer to the PAN-D operating manual).
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) on see "Input assignments (binary
inputs)" on page 142). Finally, the message “tap-changer
interrupted” can be output via a relay output (refer to see "Relay
assignments" on page 143).
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.
Note
Measure the running time of the tap-changer and enter
a value for the maximum time of tap-changer in
operation that is two to three seconds bigger.

REG-DA
7.14.3 Manual/Automatic
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring offers

two different options for switching between the Manual and
AUTOMATIC operating 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“ setting, a pulse at input E5 causes a
changeover from “MANUAL” to “AUTOMATIC”. A further pulse
at this input causes it to change back from “AUTOMATIC” 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 causes a changeover from “MANUAL” to
“AUTOMATIC”. Further signals to this input do not change the
operating mode, i.e. the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring remains in the “AUTOMATIC”
operating mode.
The changeover from “AUTOMATIC” to “MANUAL” is carried
out via a pulse or a continuous signal to input E6. Further
signals to this input do not change the operating mode, i.e. the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring remains in
the “MANUAL” operating mode.

REG-DA
7.14.4 Tap-changing
OFF
“OFF” is selected if no signals are available for displaying the
tap-changer position.
Two dashes “--” appear on the display in regulator mode.
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 present and the tap-
changer parameter is set to “ON”), please check the
connections and the selected “input assignment”.
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.
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-DA
If the TapErr signal is assigned to a relay which has set the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring to the
manual mode, regulation can be interrupted when a tap error is
detected.
Further information can be found on Page 184 and Page 295.
7.14.5 Self-conduction of the operating mode
WITH
WITH” stores the operating mode of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring in the event that the auxiliary
voltage fails. This means that after the voltage returns, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will be reset to
“AUTOMATIC” if it was in “AUTOMATIC” operating mode
before the voltage failure and will be reset to “MANUAL” if it was
previously in “MANUAL” operating mode.
WITHOUT
WITHOUT” does not store the operating mode if the auxiliary
voltage fails. This means that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring will always be in the “MANUAL”
operating mode after the voltage returns.
7.14.6 Current display (of the transformer)

REG-DA
ON
In the “ON” setting, the current can also be displayed in the
regulator display (compact display).
OFF
In order to prevent 0.000 A from being displayed for a faulty
current connection, the current display can be surpressed.
7.14.7 LCD saver (display)
On
The display turns off one hour after the keypad was last used.
However, the background illumination turns off approximately
15 minutes after the keypad was last used.
OFF
The screen always remains on; only the background
illumination turns off approximately 15 minutes after the keypad
was last used.
7.14.8 Regulator mode: large display
OFF
The option of choosing the detailed view will be offered on the
display.

REG-DA
ON
Compared to the detailed display, the large display only shows
the present voltage and tap-changer position.
Note
The F1 key can be used to switch between the normal
and the large display size when in regulator mode.
7.14.9 Language selection

REG-DA
7.14.10 Parallel Program Activation
The parallel program can be activated either by selecting “ON”

from the menu or via a binary signal.
Selecting “LEVEL” ensures that the parallel program remains
activated as long as the signal level is sent to the selected input.
„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 for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

outputs a tap-changing signal, the standard switch-on time of
the tap-changing pulse is 2s.
Older motor drives in particular often need a longer switch-on
time in order to accept the signal.
This menu item can be used to set the switch-on time for higher
and lower pulses from 0.5 s to 6 s in increments of 0.1 s.

REG-DA
7.14.12 AUTO(MATIC) LOCK in the event of an E-LAN error
If an E-LAN error is detected by the Relay for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring when, for example, running in parallel
with multiple transformers, the respective Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring changes from “AUTOMATIC”
to “MANUAL”. However, the automatic changeover only takes
place when the “AUTO lock when E-LAN fault occurs”
is active.
Furthermore the “AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs”
function ensures that it is only possible to change back to
“AUTOMATIC” when the fault has been rectified or when the
“AUTO lock if E-LAN fault occurs” is switched from ON to OFF.
7.14.13 Setpoint adjustment
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.

REG-DA
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.

7.14.17 Maximum tap difference (monitoring)

A maximum tap-change difference may be set for the ∆Isinϕ
and ∆Isinϕ(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.
The LED can be set up via SETUP 5, F5.
Please select the parameter 30: ParErr.

REG-DA
7.14.18 ParaGramer activation
The ParaGramer activation is described in detail in chapter 9.
If a system consisting of multiple transformers/Relays should be
able to identify by itself which transformers are operating in
parallel with which others, the ParaGramer must be switched
on and the maximum number of transformers operating in
parallel must be entered (ON-1 to ON-6).

REG-DA
7.15 Transformer configuration
The external-conductor voltage and the current to be used for
the measurement can be specified in this menu.
Furthermore, the transformer mounting ratio of the external
voltage transformer and current transformer and the nominal
value of the current can also be chosen.
Since the connection point of a Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring can generally be considered to be
equally loaded, all power values of the network can be
calculated using just one voltage and one current value.
Prerequisite: information specifying the external conductors
between which the voltage is measured and in which conductor
the current is measured is provided to the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring.
7.15.1 Transformer mounting voltage (measurement voltage)

It is not necessary to assign the voltage and current
connections to a certain position in the network (for example,
U12 and L3, etc.) in order to be able to use the REG-DA 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.
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
connected to an asymmetrically loaded network and correct
measurement values are still needed for both the active and the
reactive power, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring may also be operated in the Aron circuit (feature
M2).

REG-DA
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 observe the following connection diagram.
The following is valid for the Aron circuit:

The transformer mounting ratio (Knu) of the voltage transformer

must be entered if the primary voltage value is to be displayed.
Example: 20 KV/100 V ➔ Knu = 200
Please note that the scale for the input of the transformer
mounting ratio can be changed, and therefore adapted to the
requirements, by using the F3 key.

REG-DA
7.16 Input assignments (binary inputs)
Note
A detailed description of the individual functions can be
found in Chapter 16 on Page 294.
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.
In this case it is worth looking through the Toolbox on our
website (www.a-eberle.de) for similar applications or simply

REG-DA
7.17 Relay assignments
Note
Relays R3 ... R11 are freely programmable.

A specific function can be assigned to each output from the list
of selection options.

REG-DA
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”, the relay R3 will be
activated and can function as an indicator or actuator (motor
circuit breaker off).
However, if the TC in operation lamp should be linked to one or
more events, the standard functions cannot be used. A special
program is required that can normally be implemented using a
background program.
In order to do this the output must be set to “Prog”. The relay
can then be connected and activated according to the
respective requirements via the background program.
In this case it is worth looking through the Toolbox on our
website (www.a-eberle.de) for similar applications or simply

REG-DA
7.18 LED assignments
Note
LEDs 1 ... 12 are available to be freely programmed.

A specific display function may be assigned to each LED from
the list of selection options.
If the exceeded of the running time of the tap-changer is to be
signalled on LED 1, assign the function “TC-F” to the freely
programmable LED 1.
LED 1 will be activated if the actual running time exceeds the
specified running time.
If other application-specific functions are required, the LED
must be set to “prog” and the function must be programmed
using a background program.
To create an application-specific program, use either an
example program (toolbox) from our website (www.a-eberle.de)
or contact our company headquarters.

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

some operating steps are required to guarantee that the
simulated voltage is only applied when it is specifically desired.
The required operating 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) Feature 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 operating mode.
Switching from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC switches off the
simulator.
b) Feature 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 operating 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) Feature 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
operating mode (simmode=1).

REG-DA
Note
If the term “Actual Value” is displayed in capital
letters as “ACTUAL VALUE”, the „MEASUREMENT
VALUE SIMULATION” is active!
The simulator for the quantities U, I, and ϕ can be activated in

the SETUP 6/STATUS menu.
Caution!
automatically switches back from the „MEASUREMENT
VALUE SIMULATION” to normal regulation if no key has
been pressed within a period of approx. 15 minutes!
Note
If the REG-DA 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.

with REG-DA
Parallel switching of several transformers must be prepared in

advance. In general, the taps of the transformers regulated in
parallel 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.
Monitoring is provided with a program section which is capable
of independently 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
Before selecting the regulation procedure, please check the

boundary conditions of the regulation.
Are the transformers the same or differing models? 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 circulating
reactive current be minimised?
One of the regulation procedures listed below can be chosen
depending on the answer:

REG-DA
All the procedures are available in the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring as standard.
Master-slave
Master-Slave-Independent (MSI)
∆I sinϕ (minimisation of the circulating reactive current)
∆I sinϕ (S) (minimisation of the circulating reactive current,
taking into consideration the nominal powers of the
transformers)
∆cosϕ
The ∆ 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

circulating reactive current minimisation procedure (∆I sin ϕ or
∆I sin ϕ (S)), the complete combination switches to an
emergency regulation which also works according to the ∆cos
ϕ procedure.
If a malfunction occurs, each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring uses the last measured cos ϕ and
attempts to both maintain the voltage within the specified
voltage band and to approach the last measured cosϕ as
closely as possible.

REG-DA
The circuit diagram shows the parallel switching of two
transformers with the most important connections. The
principle is the same for three transformers and more.
Please observe that the voltage and current transformers do
not have to be connected in the shown manner. Every possible
type of connection of the individual conductors is possible.
However, it is important to ensure that the transformer
configuration or switching status for carrying out
measurements has been entered in SETUP 5, F2.

9.2 Programs for parallel operation and their
prerequisites
Caution!
It is particularly important to note that only REG-DA
Relays for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitorings
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
Relays keypad.
Please press the menu key until you have
reached SETUP 6. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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 for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is supplied with the
tap-change position of “its” transformer and that the bus
connection (E-LAN) is activated between all the Relays.

REG-DA
9.2.1.1 Explanation of terminology
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
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-DA
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 for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring.
Of course, the individual operation steps may also be
performed using the WinREG parameterisation
software.
1. Step
Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode.
2. Step
Assign station identification.

assigned to transformer 1 is given the station code (address)
<A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code
<C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
A to Z4

REG-DA
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 REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically
assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.
Example:
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to the PAN-D. If the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the
code <B9>, it will assign the code <C> to the PAN-D.
3. Step
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 101].

REG-DA
4. Step
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation

procedure.
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''.

REG-DA
5. Step
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
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.
It is not necessary to input a regulative influence for the selected
procedure.
6. Step
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, ...

REG-DA
Activation via the keypad
Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6
Pressing down the F2 function key activates the parallel-

switching operation.
Select “ON”.
Parallel operation is active in the automatic mode as long as the
“Parallel Progr. 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 operation can be activated by via a level-controlled
or a pulse-controlled input.
“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 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.

REG-DA
The following example demonstrates how to activate the
parallel-switching operation via input E7.
Select SETUP 5, F3, F1
Press the F4 key and 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.
For an optical signal that the parallel-switching operation has

been activated, please select SETUP5, F5.
In the following example, the status “operating in parallel

activated” is to be indicated using the freely programmable LED
4.

REG-DA
Press the F5 key and select the “Par Prog” function in the
framed field in the middle of the display.
Accept the setting for LED 4 by pressing <Enter>.
If the present status of the parallel switching operation (ON/

OFF) is to be fed back to the potential-free contact, please
select a free relay (R3 to R11) using the F4 key in the SETUP 5
menu and also assign the Par Prog parameter to this relay.
If the parallel operation is to be activated or deactivated in a
level-controlled or pulse-controlled manner, please select the
preferred activation method (level or pulse) in SETUP 5, F1,
Add-On 6 using the F2 key.
7. Step
Switch the circuit breakers, bus ties, bus couplings and

disconnectors according to the planned parallel-switching
operation.
8. Step
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-DA
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 displaying the
switching status in real time.
The artificial word ParaGramer is derived from the terms parallel

and one-line diagram.
The ParaGramer displays the switching status of the individual

transformers in a one-line diagram and can be loaded from the
start menu using the F5 key, provided that the ParaGramer
feature has been activated.
Normally up to six transformers can be operated using the
ParaGramer.
In a special version, however, up to 10 transformers can be
connected.

(circuit breakers, disconnectors, bus ties and bus couplings) of
“its” transformer into each Relay for Voltage Control &
The regulation system can automatically recognise which
transformer is to work with which other transformer(s) on a
busbar in parallel operation on the basis of the switching
statuses.
Busbars that are connected via bus coupling(s) are treated as
one single busbar by the system.
The standard ParaGramer version can display the following

configurations:
➪ 2 transformers with one busbar
(1 circuit breaker (LS) per transformer)
Note
= Switching element
open
LS
= Switching element
closed

REG-DA
➪ 3 transformers with one busbar
(1 circuit breaker (CB) per transformer)
CB
➪ 2 transformers with two busbars

(1 circuit breaker (CB) and 2 isolators (IS per transformer)
CB
IS
➪ 3 transformers with two busbars

(1 circuit breaker and 2 isolators per transformer)

REG-DA
Busbars “1” and “2” can additionally be disconnected or
coupled by means of line coupler (SC) or bar coupler (CP).
The logical status of the couplings may also be fed to the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring and is included in
the assignment algorithm (who with whom?).
CP SC
The following abbreviations have been selected to clearly
characterise each individual switch, disconnector, etc.:
The prefix PG stands for ParaGramer. All of the other abbreviated

terms are listed below:
❑ PG_CB:
Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding
transformer
❑ PG_IS1:
Isolator 1 return signal of the corresponding transformer to
busbar 1 (the left isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_IS2:
busbar 2 (the right isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_CP:
Bus coupling return signal of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_SC1:
Line coupler return signal right of the corresponding
transformer in busbar 1
❑ PG_SC2:

REG-DA
1. Step
Switch all Relays to the MANUAL mode.
2. Step
Assign station identification.

<A>, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
, and the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring assigned to transformer 3 is given the station code
<C>.
Code input:
Select SETUP 6, F1, F2.
A to Z4
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 REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will automatically
assign a code to its corresponding PAN-D.
To assign this address, the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring increments its own address (by one!)
and assigns it to the PAN-D.

REG-DA
Example:
If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has
the code <A>, it will assign the code <A1> to the PAN-D. If the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring has the
code <B5>, it will assign the code <B6> to the PAN-D.
3. Step
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 101] once the hardware prerequisites
are fulfilled.
4. Step
Activate the ParaGramer.

Please select SETUP 5, F1, Add-On 6, F5 and activate the
ParaGramer by selecting the number of transformers operating
in parallel.
For three parallel-operating transformers select: ON-3

REG-DA
5. Step
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
parameterised in the same order. The Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring of the first transformer must be first in
the group list, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring of the second transformer second in the group list,
etc. The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring 2 code B:, etc.
The group list also specifies the number of transformers shown
in the ParaGramer mode (2 positions in the group list occupied
=> 2 transformers, 3 positions 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

REG-DA
6. Step
Parallel program selection
Select SETUP 1, F5.
After pressing the F2 key, select the master-slave regulation

procedure.
This setting is only required for the master - usually with the
address <A>, because all of the other participants will
automatically be declared as followers when the group list is
input.
Slaves should be assigned the parallel program “none''.
7. Step
Input assignments
The individual programmable binary Relay for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring inputs are prepared for their respective
tasks in this step.

REG-DA
If, for instance, the disconnector PG_TR1 of transformer 1 is to
be assigned to the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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 as well.
Depending on the input assignment, the display can show one
or two busbars.
The following input functions are available:

❑ PG_CB:
Circuit breaker return signal of the corresponding
transformer
❑ PG_IS1:
busbar 1 (the left isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_IS2:
busbar 2 (the right isolator in each figure)
❑ PG_CP:
Bus coupling return signal of the corresponding transformer
❑ PG_SC1:
❑ PG_SC2:
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-DA
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.
Summary of the default settings:
❑ 1 busbar:
PG_CB: open
PG_IS1: closed, however not displayed in the
ParaGramer
❑ 2 busbars:
PG_CB: closed
PG_IS1: open
PG_IS2: open
PG_CP: open
PG_SC1: closed
PG_SC2: closed
The displays to be shown are changed according to the criteria

listed below:
➪ If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 PG_IS2 is used on a Relay for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring entered in the group, two busbars
will be displayed in a circuit diagram instead of one.
➪ If either PG_CP, PG_SC1 or PG_SC2 is used on a Relay for

Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring entered in the
group, the bus ties and bus couplings will be activated in
the display.

REG-DA
8. Step
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:

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

The parallel operation is activated automatically.
Various checks are included in order to ensure that the

regulation works safely in all circumstances
This means that the bus connection is also always monitored
as well as the tap-change positon of the transformers operating
in parallel.
If, for example, a tap-change position is reported that is not
logical (TapErr) or a Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring in the system cannot be addressed (ParErr), the
regulation is stopped immediately and the corresponding error
flag is set.
For information about TapErr and ParErr see "Description of the
ParErr and TapErr error flags" on page 184.

REG-DA
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 operating 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 operating
mode (MSI) of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring when in the manual mode.
➪ 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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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.
➪ 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.
➪ The status line of the ParaGramer display indicates which

Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is
currently functioning as the master.

REG-DA
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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer

Monitoring has been mistakenly assigned to the master mode,
the MSI algorithm will treat the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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-DA
Prerequisite for using the MSI operation
The MSI operating 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.
Note
At this point it is important to state explicitly that the
ParaGramer has a different function in MSI mode.
It does not generate the group lists itself, but is only
activated in order to make it possible to display the
switching status on the regulator display.
Example:
The ParaGramer must be set to ON-3 for a group of three
transformers.
The MSI operating mode can be selected by choosing the MSI
operating mode in SETUP 1, Programs..., Parallel Program.
Caution!
The MSI operating mode must be selected for each
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
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.

REG-DA
To verify the present settings, please select
SETUP 6, F5 (Status), --> Page 2 of the device status.
Note
Several features, e.g. RECORDER, TMM, etc. can, of
course, be loaded at the same time.
Further prerequisites for using the MSI procedure:

Only transformers which are electrically (power, short circuit
voltage, voltage between the tap-changer positions, switching
groups, etc.) and mechanically identical (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 for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 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.

REG-DA
Please select the sub-menu “Parallel Parameters” in
SETUP 1.
Method:
SETUP 1 / Programs... (F5) / “Par. Parameters” (F1)
The group list must be set up in the “Par. Parameters“ menu.
Please select the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring with the lowest address by pressing the F1 key in
the first group position of the list. Then place the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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.
Selecting the operating modes

Three different methods can be used to select operating
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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring and assign the Master (MSI_Ma), Slave
(MSI_Sl) or Independent (MSI_Ind) functions to them using
SETUP 5, F3 or by using WinREG.

REG-DA
Example:
IT should be possible to select the operating 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 for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring to work as the master.
The present status is indicated by an X in the square brackets.
The results of this parameterisation:
This status is indicated on both the regulator display as well as

on the ParaGramer.

REG-DA
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 operating mode using F3, F4

and F5.
Information regarding effective manoeuvring on the screen can
be found under “i” by pressing the F2 key.

REG-DA
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 pulse is sufficient
to select the operating mode.
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.
The indication “1st ParErr after n·tap-changer in operation time”
can be interpreted as follows.
If the system is already operating in parallel with n stations, it
assumes that the equalisation of the tap-change positions of all
operating transformers is achieved after a maximum of
1.5 · n · 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.
REG-DA
Under normal conditions, the new station can be “brought” to
the tap-changer position of the group within this specified
interval.
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 operating 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

REG-DA
do this, the setpoint value of the active master is changed via
the binary input, the program or the serial interface.
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-DA
9.3.1 Trouble-shooting
Parallel-switching operations carried out according to the MSI
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 operating mode to the
Manual operating 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 for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring 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-DA
TapErr
TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem with the tap-change
position. The name is derived from the term “tap error”.
Like ParErr, TapErr affects the entire group when in MSI
operating 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring outputs
a “raise” command and the transformer “answers” with a lower
tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the transformer
“answers” 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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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-DA
2. No tap-change
Example:
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 for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring is equipped with a “tap-change potentiomenter”
resistance input (Feature D2 or D3), the tap-changer resistance
network can be connected directly and interpreted as a tap-
change by the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring.
This eliminates the complication of using an external resistance
measurement transducer.
The resistance chain receives a direct current from the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring via two terminals.
The voltage drop that occurs with the tap-change level is
measured using further terminals.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 device has 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 1
to 6 times in one of the main menus (regulator measurement
transducer, recorder etc.).

REG-DA
Meaning of the lines in the menu
1. Line: dR is the nominal resistance between two levels
2. Line: is the highest measurable level
3. 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 present 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
R
N = Integer component ( M + 0.5)
RS
and displayed.

The present measurement resistance value and the deviation,
∆Rn, of the present measurement resistance value from the
present level N as a percent of RS

11 mA-Inputs, mA-Outputs
The REG-D and REG-DA Relays for Voltage Control &

Transformer Monitoring differ from one another in terms of
design and the basic configuration of the analogue inputs.
The REG-D Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
is not provided with any analogue inputs, whereas the REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 mA inputs
❑ Analogue module with only one mA input
(only possible for the RG-DA)
❑ Analogue module with only one mA output
(only possible for the RG-DA)
❑ Analogue output module with two 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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.

REG-DA
11.1 Analogue inputs
The individual steps are explained using 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 for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring.
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,
measurement 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.
Press F5 ANALOGUE..

REG-DA
Up to 6 analogue channels can be selected using the arrow

keys (raise, lower).
can be equipped with up to six channels, whereas the REG-DA
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can only
have a maximum of 4 analogue channels.
This statement is only true if no further analogue channels are
equipped using level II.
Up to 8 analogue channels can be contained on level II in the
maximum design.
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 is prepared as
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 characteristic quantities of

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

REG-DA
The following functions are available as standard:
Note
an “i” at the beginning of a line stands for input!
OFF Input is turned off

ANA Input is assigned a specific function using a

iOilL-TC input: represents the oil level
of the tap-changer
iWater input: represents the hydrogen content
(H2) in the oil
iGas input: represents the amount of dissolved
gases in the oil
iTapPos input: represents the 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 also only be handled if they
are available as mA signals from an appropriate sensor.
Select “iTapPos” using the F2 and F4 arrow keys and then

confirm the selection by pressing Enter.

You can switch between upper and lower case by pressing F2.

Decimal places are not required in this case since the tap-change
position is a whole-number quantity.
Press F4 and then reduce the number of decimal places to zero

Confirm your selection by pressing Enter.
The type of characteristic line can be selected under the

The following settings are possible:

P0P2 Linear characteristic line
P0P1P2 Bent characteristic line
P0P2 (linear characteristic line)

A linear characteristic line has two coordinates (beginning and
end) 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 and Y2 = 1
4 ... 20 mA is displayed as Y0 = 0.2 and Y2 = 1

The following choices are available under “Limit Handling”

None
High
Low
High+Low

REG-DA
Explanations:
None: no limiting,
neither up nor down
High: Limiting, upwards only
Practical meaning:
In the selected example, the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring
would display tap-change position 17, if the
upstream measurement transducer over-
controls and outputs,
for example, 24mA instead of 20mA.
Low: Limiting, downwards only
Practical meaning:
would display tap-change position 1, if the
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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring displays tap-change
position 99, which could easily be
mis-interpreted as an error signal.
High + Low: Limits both upwards and downwards
Practical meaning:
see above
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.

AnaR 1 then displays the actual value 20 mA if 20 mA is flowing

in the input.
(AnaR 1= 20 mA).
Pressing the left arrow key again displays the normalised value
of the input quantity.

13.1 Cleaning information

The surface of the device can be cleaned witha dry cloth at any
time.
If the inside becomes dirty due to improper use, it is
recommended that you send the device back to the
manufacturer.
If a large amount of dust has accumulated on the terminal
blocks, the insulator coordination could fail.
Dust particles are generally hygroscopic and can bridge
creepage distances.
For this reason we recommend operating the device with the
doors closed. Furthermore, in dusty environments it is
particularly important to ensure that the cable connections are
correctly mounted.

13.5 Replacing the device
If a REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
must be replaced, the device must first be disassembled.
If the device is defective, we recommend sending it to the
company headquarters together with a short description of the
fault.
An Allen key is provided so that the disassembly can be carried
out easily. It can be used to loosen the flange plate on the
bottom of the device.
After undoing the four screws, the flange plate can be shifted
approximately 5 mm to the left, so that the entire wiring
including the connector blocks can be removed through the
bottom of the device.
A replacement device can then replace the defective one and
can be put into operation within a few minutes.

REG-DA
14 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. Under 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.

15 Background Information
15.1 Regulator mode

The command variable W and the actual value X of the network
voltage are continuously compared in the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring in order to maintain a
constant network 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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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.

Monitoring functions as a three-tap change regulator with a
deadband.
No control commands are output if the actual value lies within
the deadband.
The parameters for the time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring can be optimally adapted to
the time behaviour of the network voltage (controlled system)
so that a high degree of control quality (high voltage constancy)
can be achieved with a low number of switching operations.
This results in a low load on the tap-changer.
All of the Relays can control several transformers operating in

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

15.2 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.
15.2.1 Fixed command variable

The command variable W is input into the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring as a voltage setpoint value
and remains constant. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring maintains the voltage at the
transformer within the tolerance band, 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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.

REG-DA
The change to another setpoint value can be activated either via
an external signal or by using a background program.
15.2.2 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-DA 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 L L + 1 / j ω C L
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

REG-DA
the operating conditions. see "Nominal value of the gradient" on
page 232.
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 when measuring the voltage drop
cannot be neglected and the cos ϕ at the consumer is not
constant, the following formula applies to 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring. 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
228.
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.

REG-DA
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
exact value Uf = U1 - U2 = 7.96 kV. (The angle difference of the
voltage pointer between the feeding point 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 indicators of U1 and
U2 have different angles) can also 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-DA
15.2.3 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.
Uf [V]
7.5 V
107.5 V 21.5 kV
6.563 V
4.688 V
100 V 20 kV 0 IL
100 A 700 A 800 A
0
0.625 A 4.375 A 5 A
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-DA
In this case a positive sign for active power indicates incoming
power (setpoint value increment permissible), whereas a
negative sign indicates power supply, 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 measurement 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.
∆U [ V ]
G Nom [ % ] = ---------------------- ⋅ 100%

Uf [ V ] = ∆U [ 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-DA
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 [%] > 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:

Voltage change in percent
∆U [%] = (1.0 kV / 20.0 kV) 100 % = 5 %

REG-DA
To raise the voltage of the transformer at full load (Imax) to
21.5 kV, the command variable must be ∆U = 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 [%]

G Nom [ % ] = ---------------------- ⋅ 100 % ⋅ --------

Setpoint value reduction

With a light load and this gradient, the command variable W
would be increased to
I min G 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 setpoint values

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.

REG-DA

15.3 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-DA
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

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-DA
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.

15.4 Regulative deviations
15.4.1 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 [ % ] = ---------------- ⋅ 100 %
W[V]
15.4.2 Permissible regulative deviation Xwz

To minimise the number of switches of the tap-changer, a
deviation in the network 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 network voltage above
and below the control value W. For this reason the absolute limit
values of the tolerance band are dependent on the set
command variable W.
When the network voltage dips into this tolerance band, the
regulation procedure is interrupted and the integrator is set to
zero so that the regulation/integration process only begins
again when the network voltage overshoots or undershoots the
limits of the tolerance band.
Fluctuations in the network voltage within the permissible
regulative deviation have no effect on the regulation procedure.

REG-DA
15.4.3 Displaying the regulative deviation Xw
The deviation of the network voltage X from the command
variable W is indicated analogously on the scale of the
regulator. 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.
15.4.4 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 network voltage.
In order to have sufficient distance from the upper and lower

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

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

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

REG-DA
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.

REG-DA
15.5 Monitoring extreme operating values
(faults)
If a fault occurs in the network, e.g. inadmissibly or extremely
high/low voltages or currents, the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring must not switch the transformer tap-
changer to the highest or lowest tap-changer position. This
occurs to prevent the network voltage having an impermissible
value after the cause of the fault has been eliminated. These
monitoring tasks are carried out by additional limit signals.
15.5.1 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 measurement values.
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 whether a binary
output or LED should be activated if a limit value violation
occurs.

REG-DA
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 regulator function
(no control commands are output) in the event of undervoltage.
Setting range: 100 V ≤ G1 ≤ 150 V
Note
The tripping can only be entered as an absolute value,
because there is also only one voltage that may not be
exceeded under any circumstances, regardless of the
selected setpoint value.
The limit signal can be allocated to a binary output (R3 ... R11)
if required. Furthermore, the limit value violation can be
signalled by a freely programmable LED (LED1 ... LED12).
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 246).
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.

REG-DA
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 246).
This function is not available if the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is operated in the “Creeping Net
Breakdown” mode.
Reason: If the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring changes to high-speed switching when the
“creeping net breakdown” function is switched on, the
conditions may be fulfilled (depending on parameterisation)
under which the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring detects a creeping net breakdown and changes to
blocking without the voltage having reached the permissible
tolerance band.
Setting range: 0.65 X0 ≤ G3 ≤ 1.00 X0 (-35% ... 0%)
X0 represents the reference value (setpoint).
Limit value transmitter > U (G4)

The overvoltage >U is a limit value which only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances.
If the voltage exceeds the >U limit then all “raise” commands
are surpressed.
V) as the limit value for >U.
Further information: see "> U Overvoltage" on page 118

REG-DA
Limit-value transmitter >I (G5)
I > G5: Activation of the STANDSTILL regulator function if
undercurrent occurs (no issuing of control commands).
However, the STANDSTILL function will only be activated if it
has been previously activated in the menu “Add-On 5”.
The selected rated value (1 A or 5 A) always applies as the limit
value reference X0.
Setting range: 1.00 X0 ≤ G5 ≤ 2.10 X0 (0% ... 210%)
Limit value transmitter < U (G6)

The undervoltage <U is a limit value which only influences the
regulation in special operating circumstances.
If the voltage falls below the <U limit, all “lower” commands are
surpressed.
V) as the limit value for <U.
Further information: see "< U Undervoltage" on page 117
Note
The <U message is suppressed for voltages < 20 V for
firmware version 2.00 onwards.
Limit-value transmitter <I (G7)

I < G7: Activation of the STANDSTILL regulator function in the
event of undercurrent (no issuing of control commands).
However, the STANDSTILL function will only be activated if it
has been previously activated in the menu “Add-On 5”.
Setting range: 0.0 X0 ≤ G7 ≤ 1.00 X0
The selected rated value (1 A or 5 A) always applies as the limit
value reference X0 (also refer to Add-On 5, F2).

REG-DA
Note
The <I message is suppressed for voltages < 20 V for
firmware version 2.00 onwards.
Inhibit low limit value transmitter (G8)

When U < G8: Activation of the limit signal and of the
STANDSTILL regulator function (no issuing of control
commands see "Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring inhibit low function" on page 247).
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 (also refer to Add-On 5, F2).
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 current setpoint value or as an absolute value in
relation to the nominal value of the voltage Unom see "Factory
Settings of the Parameters" on page 303.
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 current setpoint value.

REG-DA
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.
15.6 Add-Ons
15.6.1 High-speed switching add-on

Using the high-speed switching add-on switches off the
reaction delay (regulation behaviour, see Page 252), i.e. the
control commands for the tap-changer are output in the
shortest possible time sequence.
The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 rectified.
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 for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
input E1 ... E16 is configured as the tap-changer in
operation input (with the exception of E5 and E6), the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 for

Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, 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).

REG-DA
Activation
The high-speed switching of the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring is activated either internally 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.
15.6.2 Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

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 network 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 network 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.

15.6.3 Measuring the “Creeping Net Breakdown”

The “Creeping Net Breakdown” add-on is mainly used 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 certain circumstances, this behaviour can cause the voltage
to exceed the trigger threshold of protection devices or the
“tripping” limit of the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring to be reached which blocks the relay.
The “creeping net breakdown” function is used to prevent such
situations.
Only Relays that are equipped with two voltage transformers
(M3 or M9) can use this feature.

REG-DA
The “creeping net beakdown” function can only be derived from
the overvoltage.
If only the control voltage (undervoltage) is available to the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring, it is not possible
to ascertain whether the voltage dip is caused by a load or
whether the reduction of the voltage is caused by a dangerous
situation on the high voltage side.
If the regulative deviation is so large that - during a certain time
period - more than a specified number of control commands in
the RAISE direction is required to eliminate the regulative
deviation, the REG-DA can react in two different ways:
➪ The Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring

does not output any further control commands. It leaves the
“AUTOMATIC” operating mode and remains in the
“MANUAL” operating mode until it is switched back into
“AUTOMATIC” mode, either via the manual key or via a
remote control command.

blocks all further control commands for a lock time (1 min ...
20 min). This lock is automatically removed if:
a) the specified lock time has expired
or
b) when the first LOWER control
command is output (i.e. when the upper limit of the
regulative deviation is violated.
The “creeping net breakdown” function is canceled if the

measurement quantity returns to being within the permissible
range or if a lower command is issued.
The “Creeping Net Breakdown” function suppresses the “High-
Speed Forward Switching” function.

REG-DA
15.6.4 “Maximum tap-change difference” monitoring Add-
On
A tap-change difference can only occur when at least two
transformers are considered.
If parallel programs that use the circulating reactive current
process are used, then the transformers are always regulated
to different tap-change positions if the transformers that are
working in parallel are different (uk, number of tap-change
positions, etc.).
The “maximum tap-change difference” parameter can be used
to limit the difference.
If the specified tap-change difference is reached, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will no longer carry
out tap-change operations if doing so would cause the
circulating reactive current to reduce further.
The ParErr error flag is used for the monitoring.

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

After the control command has been output, the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring controls the correct
switching of the tap-changer so that the tap-change signal (tap-
changer in operation) that is returned by the tap-changer is
measured and compared with the value of the maximum tap-

REG-DA
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 operation of the tap-changer can be interrupted using one
of the freely programmable outputs R3 ... R11.
In this case the Laufl-F. or the Laufl-F+ function must be
selected.
Laufl-F. causes a continuous signal at the selected output relay.
Laufl-F+ only causes a wiping signal.
This output signal can be used to switch off the motor drive of
the tap-changer (for example).

REG-DA
15.7 Time behaviour of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring when a
control command is output
Requirements
Optimal regulation behaviour is achieved when the operating
requirements with regard to the voltage constancy need as few
tap-changer operations as possible.
However, optimal regulation behaviour also requires that larger
regulative deviations are regulated quicker than smaller
regulative deviations.
Note
For more information about understanding the
regulation behaviour see "Integrated time program" on
page 259!
Moreover, large regulative deviations should be rectified faster

than small regulative deviations.
There are two measures for complying with the requirements

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

integral value before the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring outputs a control command.
If the network voltage dips into the tolerance band (± Xwz)
before this integral value is reached, the integrator will be
set to zero.
➪ The regulative deviations are continuously evaluated before

the integration according to the selected time relationship
(∆U · t = const, REG-5A). Depending on the time interval,
the evaluation factor increases either linearly or non-linearly
with the value 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.

REG-DA
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 for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired, the time tg
may be increased by multiplying it with the time factor FZ
(0,1 ... 30).
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.

15.7.2 Integrated time program
Both the “∆U · t = const” and “REG- 5A/E” integrating time
programs function in the following manner: after the integral of
the voltage deviation ∆U and the time “t” has reached a
specified value, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring carries out a tap-change operation. The integrator is
reset to zero after each tap-change operation.
If the voltage leaves the voltage band directly after a regulation
procedure, the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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 for Voltage Control &
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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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 for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring carries out a tap-change).

REG-DA
The volume of water flowing (e.g. m3/unit time) corresponds to
the voltage deviation.
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 for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring is desired.
15.7.3 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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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 for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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.

REG-DA
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
which the memory has not been completely emptied, the Relay
for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring can react earlier,
since the integration procedure or “filling” procedure doesn’t
start from zero, but rather at a higher level.
Note
The function of the trend memory is explained using an
example at the end of this section.
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 262).
A progress bar is incorporated in the regulator 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 is light.
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.
Rrogress bar

REG-DA
15.7.4 “Const” time program
“Const” stands for constant reaction times, which cannot be
adjusted in a sensitive manner to the respective regulative
deviations, as is the case for the “∆U · t = const” or the “REG-
5A/E” procedures.
Two differing times are specified in the “Const” program, which
cause the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
to perform a tap-change operation dependent on the extent of
the regulative deviation.
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%
uses the time T1
Permissible regulative deviation is 2%

Actual regulative deviation is 5%
uses the time T2
U
5% T2
4% T2
3% T1
2%
setpoint value
One advantage of this procedure is that in the case of regulative
deviations which are larger than one tap-change, the operator

REG-DA
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 “∆U · 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.

The “Const” time program and the way the trend memory
operates should be explained using an example.

Diagrams 1 to 5
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.

REG-DA
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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring which returns the value to within the band.
Diagram 2 shows how full the trend memory is (fill level). The
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring performs a
tap-change if the fill level reaches the normalised value “1”. If,
on the other hand, the graph reaches the x-axis (0 value), the
memory is completely emptied.
Diagram 3 shows when the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring issues a control command due to
voltage deviations.
Diagrams 4 and 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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% = > 40
seconds).

REG-DA
Section iii: The voltage only remains inside the permissible
tolerance band for 10 seconds and then exceeds the allowed
voltage range again.
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 for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring will issue a tap-
change command.
For the voltage progression described in the example the time

before the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
intervenes is reduced from 70 seconds to 60 seconds by
employing the trend memory (refer also to diagrams 4 and 5).
15.7.5 Setting the time factor Ft

The time factor Ft can only be set by the ∆U · t = const, REG
5A/E and LINEAR time behaviours.
For a normal 24 hour load curve, an empirical value between 2
and 3 is suitable for the time factor. 3. If the 24-hour load curve
is more constant, the rectification process can be accelerated
by choosing a smaller time factor.

REG-DA
15.8 E-LAN (Energy Local Area Network)
Each bus station (REG-DA) has two E-LAN interfaces. So-
called line-to-line operation is enabled through these interfaces.
In this operating mode, each Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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).

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. 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, reduce the maximum transmission
distance of the line and cause error functions.
The terminating resistances are already integrated into the
REG-DA and can 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 transfer rate depends on the
selected operating mode (2-wire or 4-wire connection) and on
the bus length.
The permissible separations are summarised in the table below:

Baud rate 4-wire 2-wire
(KBaud)
15,6 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
31,2 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
62,5 1.2 km ≤ 0.1 km
125 1.0 km ≤ 0.1 km
375 0.8 km Not
recommended

REG-DA
Bus segment
Up to 8 bus stations can be connected to one bus segment
(line between two stations without boosters).
Up to 16 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 can
operate as the bus master.
Each Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring in the
E-LAN can access all the data from all the other bus stations.
Unique addressing
Each bus station on the E-LAN must be assigned a unique
address. 255 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 stations so
that each bus station 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-DA
15.9 Voltage regulation with transformers
operating in parallel
If transformers operating in parallel do not have same data
(EMK, uk, switching group, number of tap-change positions),
an additional circulating reactive current will permanently flow
within this parallel-switching circuit. This circulating reactive
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.
Therefore the voltage alone cannot be a regulation criteria for
transformers with different characteristic quantities. The voltage
regulation must be supplemented by a circulating current
regulation to be able to control transformers operating in
parallel on a busbar to the appropriate voltage that is required
and to the same tap-change position.
If all the transformers are the same, stable parallel-switching
can be achieved using the voltage and tap-changes (master-
slave, MSI).
Command variable
Monitoring regulate the voltage on the undervoltage side (on the
measurement transformer) of each transformer to a common
command variable which depends on the sum current of the
transformers operating in parallel.
Sum current (only relevant in the event of current influence)

The currents of all of the transformers can be summed in one
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring by
networking the REG-DA Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring of all of the transformers operating in
parallel via 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.

REG-DA
Due to the use of a normalised sum current, the gradient of the
Uf/IL characteristic can be set independently of the number and
different types of characteristic data of the transformers
operating in parallel (nominal power, short circuit voltage), so
that changes in these parameters do not require resetting the
gradient Gnom.
15.9.1 Regulation programs

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

(minimisation of the circulating reactive current Icirc sin ϕ
when operating transformers in parallel with various
apparent powers)
➪ Master-slave procedure (forced parallel operation, same

tap-change position) for all the transformers in parallel.
➪ ∆cos ϕ − procedure
(minimisation of the circulating reactive 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 operating the transformers in
parallel.
➪ Influence of the circulating current regulation
➪ Limitation of the influence of the circulating current
regulation
➪ Setpoint value of the cos ϕ of the network (cos ϕset)

➪ Nominal power of the transformer

REG-DA
➪ Transformer group list (addresses of relays activated by the
menu or a binary signal (e.g. ParaGramer) that regulate
transformers operating in parallel on a busbar)
15.9.2 Functional principle

Minimisation of the circulating reactive current
The reactive component (Icirc sin ϕ) of the circulating current
Icirc 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
measures the reactive component I sin ϕ of the load currents
for each transformer of the group list, calculates the circulating
reactive current Icirc sin ϕ of the assigned transformer and sets
the tap-changer position in such a way that this circulating
reactive current is minimised.
15.9.3 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:
➪ Operating transformers in parallel with previously different
tap-change positions
➪ Manual change of the tap-change position

➪ ∆cos ϕ-regulation for cos ϕnet ≠ cos ϕset

REG-DA
can the system be regulated to achieve either optimal voltage
stability or optimal minimisation of the circulating reactive
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
current regulation can be limited to a minimum value which
must nevertheless be higher than zero.
15.9.4 Activation of the regulation program

Both the regulation program selected via the menu, and the
addresses of the transformers/relays specified for operating in
parallel are stored in a “group list” (SETUP 1, programs..., Par.
parameters...). The operation in parallel 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 continuous 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 function is indicated with
(ParErr) or TapErr.
Further information can be found in chapter 9.

REG-DA
15.9.5 Description of the regulation programs
15.9.5.1 The ∆I sin ϕ procedure

Functional principle:
The value of the reactive current should be the same value, IbA
= IbB = IbC = ... , for each of the transformers operating in
parallel A, B, C,... .
If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero.
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 transformers operating in
parallel should only differ by a small amount:
(0.90 ukn-1 < ukn < 1.10 ukn-1) and the nominal powers should be
approximately the same.
The ∆I 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 circulating reactive current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer)
➪ Group list of the relays/transformers (addresses of relays

which can be activated via the menu, ParaGramer or a
binary signal, that control transformers that are operating in
parallel on a busbar)
➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers

(SETUP 5, Add-On 6)

REG-DA
Permissible Icirc:
The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Operate all Relays in MANUAL mode and set all the
transformers that are in the group list to the tap-change
position that causes approximately the same terminal
voltage. Note the value of the reactive current (Ib = Isin ϕ =
reactive component of the load current)(measurement
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 measurement value) and the old value
(Ib* = 1st measurement value) is considered to be the 1st
approximation to the “perm. Icirc”.
Since the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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) can be set to a 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.
Note
Please note that the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring may under certain
circumstances also issue a tap-change command when
the permissible circulating reactive current is not
exceeded.
This is because a tap-change command is always
issued if either the permissible voltage limit or the
maximum permissible circulating reactive current is
exceeded.

REG-DA
ParErr
To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap
difference (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is also
monitored by the error flag “ParErr”.
If the set max. tap difference is exceeded, the ParErr error flag
is set and the operation in parallel is switched to the manual
operating mode − providing that Sysctrl Bit 6 has been set.
Note
Bit 6 has been set on delivery!
Although the tap-change positions are not required for

operation in parallel the ∆I sinϕ, ∆I sinϕ (S) and ∆cosϕ current-
dependent procedures, the functioning of the tap-change can
nevertheless be monitored if required.
Information on the tap-changer is not mandatory for operating

in parallel (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 the∆sinϕ procedure, TapErr is only locally
effective, i.e. it only affects the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring 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-
change position is not established within 1.5 x running time of
the tap-change.

REG-DA
In general, every Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer

Monitoring outputs a “raise” command and the tap-changer
reacts with a lower tap-change or the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring outputs a “lower” command and the
tap-changer reacts with a higher tap-change.
been confused or the motor drive is behaving inversely.
Transformer Monitoring 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.
2. No tap-change
Example:
a command, but the tap-change position does not change.

REG-DA
If no signal is received from the next higher or next lower tap-

change position after a raise or lower command is issued, the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring interprets
this as a fault in the tap-change signal and the TapErr flag is set.
Tap limitation
terminal program:

In place of the “Upper tap limitation“, enter the desired upper tap
limitation” enter the lower tap limitation.
Note

REG-DA
15.9.5.2 The ∆I 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!
If this condition is fulfilled, the circulating reactive current is zero.
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.
Prerequisites:
The permissible limits for different short circuit voltages are as
follows: 0.90 ukn-1 < ukn < 1.10 ukn-1
➪ Permissible circulating current (depends on the change in
the circulating reactive current ∆Icirc sin ϕ = Ib** - Ib* per
tap-change of the assigned transformer; lb* = 1st
measurement value, lb** = 2nd measurement 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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring.
➪ Nominal power of the connected transformer.
➪ Group list of the relays/transformers (addresses of relays

which can be activated via the menu, ParaGramer or a
binary signal, that control transformers that are operating in
parallel on a busbar)
➪ Maximum tap difference between the transformers

(SETUP 5, Add-On 6)

REG-DA
Permissible Icirc:
The correct value is derived as follows:
➪ Operate all Relays in MANUAL mode and set all the
address/transformers that are in the group list to the tap-
change position, that causes approximately the same
terminal voltage. Note the value of the reactive current Ib (to
view in measurement transducer mode).
➪ Change each transformer successively by one tap-change

position.
➪ The change to the reactive current ∆Ib, the difference

between the new value (Ib** = 2nd measurement value) and
the old value (Ib* = 1st measurement value), is considered
to be the 1st approximation for the permissible “Icirc”.
Since the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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*).
Oscillations in the regulation may occur for smaller values.
ParErr
To avoid having the transformers “diverge”, a max. tap
difference (SETUP 5, Add-on 6) can be entered that is also
monitored by the error flag “ParErr”.
If the set max. tap difference is exceeded, the ParErr error flag
is set and the operation in parallel is switched to the manual
operating mode − providing that Sysctrl Bit 6 has been set.
Note
Bit 6 has been set on delivery!

derives the regulation commands from the current and the
voltage (value and angle) and not from the tap-change position

TapErr

tap-change position or errors in the coding/decoding of the
tap-changer. In the∆sinϕ procedure, TapErr is only locally

Tap limitation
terminal program:

In place of the “Upper tap limitation“, enter the desired upper tap
limitation” enter the lower tap limitation.
Note
15.9.5.3 Master-Slave procedure / 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.
A different procedure should be used if one or more of the
parameters differ.
In addition, it must be ensured that each Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring involved in the parallel-switching
operation must be switched on (menu SETUP 5, Add-On 1, F4)
before the parallel-switching operation is activated.

REG-DA
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 173).
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 program, the slaves do not become slaves
until they have reached the tap-change position that was
specified by 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 regulator.
The precondition for the master-slave operation is that each
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring must be fed
the present tap-change position of “its” transformer by means
of a BCD, binary signal, mA signal or resistance value.
➪ 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,
error flags have been developed which immediately recognise
errors and then set the regulation to the MANUAL operating
mode if necessary.
TapErr
In the master-slave procedure, TapErr affects the entire group.

runtime. In this case the entire group will be switched from
AUTOMATIC to MANUAL.


2. No tap-change
Example:

REG-DA

ParErr
ParrErr is triggered when a tap difference occurs between two
transformers operating in parallel which is larger than the
specified permissible difference.
Note
The ParErr error flag is also triggered when the permis.
Icirc is exceeded.
An alternative procedure can be specified if this behaviour is not

desired. Otherwise only the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring that carried out the tap-change that
lead to the permissible maximum tap difference being exceed
will be switched over to the manual operating mode.
Note
If you prefer this behaviour, please contact our company
headquarters.

REG-DA
15.9.5.4 The ∆cos 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 for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring should ideally keep this value constant.
The constancy of the cos ϕnet value is the guage 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 present value of the
cos ϕ of the network and the set cos ϕset).
A self-adapting solution to the program can be implemented if
the net cos ϕ changes by a large amount (depending on the
time of day/year).
In this case the program continuously measures the cos ϕ at
the connection point. The setpoint value of the net cos ϕ is
adjusted after an integration over a selectable period of time.
This means that a network with multiple feeding transformers
that cannot communicate with each other can remain
approximately free of circulating reactive currents.
Transformers which are feeding on one network independently
of each other and where it is not possible to implement a bus
link between the assigned relays.

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
TapErr is only effective locally, that is it only affects the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring where the tap error
has occurred.



REG-DA
2. No tap-change
Example:
If the next higher or lower tap-change position is not signalled

back after the tap-change position has been raised or lowered,
the Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring
interprets the position check-back signal as being defective
and sets the error flag TapErr.

REG-DA
15.9.5.5 The ∆cos 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 ∆I sin ϕ and
∆I sin ϕ (S) programs. This program is activated as soon as the
Relay for Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring 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 ∆cos ϕ program is used as an emergency program,

whereby the regulation is not carried out to the entered cos ϕset
but to the last present
cos ϕSum of the network that was measured by the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring (ϕSum = angle
between the sum current and the network 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 network voltage changes
only slightly, because the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring tries to find a compromise between the
minimum difference of the measured cos ϕSum of the network
and the present cosϕSum of the network as well as the minimum
difference between the command variable W and the actual
value X of the voltage.

15.10 Nominal transformation of the measurement
transformers
The decisive factors for the nominal transformation ratio Kn of
a measurement transformer are the nominal value X1N of the
primary factor and the nominal value X2N of the secondary
factor.
Kn = X 1N
------------
X 2N
Knu = nominal transformation ratio of the voltage transformers

Kni = nominal transformation ratio of the current transformers
Nominal transformation of current transformers

Example:
X 1N = 1000 A
X 2N = 5 A
Kni = 1000 A- = 200

-----------------
5A
Nominal transformation ratio of the voltage transformers

Example:
X1N = 110 kV
X 2N = 100 V
Knu = 110 kV- ÷ 100

----------------- V- = 110
-------------- kV- = 1100

15.11 Self-Conduct
Each active control level of the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring (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 for Voltage Control & Transformer
Monitoring to continue running in the AUTOMATIC operating
mode after the event; this is only possible if the Relay for
Voltage Control & Transformer Monitoring was operating in the
AUTOMATIC operating mode before the malfunction occurred.
In the situation mentioned above, the “WITHOUT” self-conduct
setting would cause the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring to change to the MANUAL operating
mode after the event.

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 operating mode to
the Manual operating mode.
If this behaviour is not desired, a different type
of behaviour can be selected via the SysCtrl
feature. In this case please contact our
headquarters.
Please also refer to “Description of the

regulation programs” on Page 275.
PhaseFail Function only available in PAN-D or relays

with Feature M2. PhaseFail is active if one of
the three phases fails.
TapErr TapErr is a signal that indicates a problem

with the tap-change position. The name is
derived from the term “tap error”.
Unlike ParErr, Tap Err is only effective locally,
i.e. it is only indicated on the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring on which
the tap-changer position error has occurred.
It can also switch the group working in parallel
to MANUAL when operating in the master-
slave or MSI procedure.

LR_AH Local/remote operation together with the
REG_LR device will be activated as soon as
the input functions LR_AH and LR_STAT are
used. These inputs are connected with the
corresponding outputs of the REG_LR
device. As long as the REG_LR device holds
the status line LR_STAT active (1), the AUTO/
MANUAL status of the Relay for Voltage
Control & Transformer Monitoring will be
determined by the input LR_AH (1:AUTO,
0:MANUAL). Raise/lower commands may
only come from the Relay for Voltage Control
& Transformer Monitoring drive (in the case of
AUTO). As soon as the status of the REG_LR
device falls (0), the Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring will revert to the
AUTO/MANUAL operating mode which
applied 1s before the drop in the LR_STAT
signal. The Relay for Voltage Control &
Transformer Monitoring will then continue to
work as usual.
Special case: LR_STAT is not used, i.e. only
the input function LR_AH is activated. In this
case, it is always assumed that LR_STAT is
active.
LR_STAT If only the LR_STATUS input function is used,

the following applies:
LR_STAT active (1):
Remote operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via inputs or REG-L.
LR_STAT inactive (0):

Local operation, i.e. MANUAL/AUTO and
raise/lower only via the keypad.
T60s/1s Outputs a 1 s signal as a pulse (relay) or lights

COM2ACT Gives information about the status of the
