RTF – (AVR) Automatic Voltage Regulator – IEC 61850

AVR – Automatic voltage regulation for up to 5 power transformers in parallel.

Parallel transformer regulation by master-slave, circulating current and negative reactance methods.

It also includes line voltage drop compensation.

AVR Key Features

  • Voltage Regulation. Maintains the transformer output voltage at the setpoint value, calculating the difference between the measured voltage and the setpoint voltage and comparing it with a threshold level to decide whether to send commands to the tap changer. The first tap change command has a time delay based on an inverse curve or a fixed time. Subsequent commands always have a fixed time delay.
  • Line Voltage Drop Compensation. A compensation based on the measured current and the voltage drop between the transformer and the load, that provides stable voltage under load. The compensation can be calculated by two methods: LDC-Z or LDC-R & X.
  • Parallel Transformers RegulationParallel transformer regulation can be achieved by the following methods:
    • Master / slave
    • Circulating current
    • Negative reactance

The first two methods in the list allow voltage regulation for up to 5 parallel transformers using GOOSE messaging (IEC 61850 ed 1 and 2).

  • Tap Indication and Monitoring.The active tap can be read by digital inputs (directly or in BCD code), by an analog current transducer or by a Resistor Chain. Tap monitoring permits to generate alarms corresponding to irregular or extreme tap positions and to failures after tap change commands.
