    摘要: Systems and methods for optimizing power factor correction between voltage regulators are described herein. The system can include a leader voltage regulator controller coupled to a first voltage regulator and a follower voltage regulator controller coupled to both a second voltage regulator and the leader voltage regulator controller. The leader voltage regulator controller can determine a difference in measured power factors between the first voltage regulator and the second voltage regulator. The leader voltage regulator controller can also initiate an adjustment of a tap position of the first voltage regulator or the second voltage regulator. Alternatively, instead of leader and follower voltage regulator controllers, the system can utilize a single connected voltage regulator controller that determines differences in measured power factors between a first voltage regulator and a second voltage regulator and initiates an adjustment in a tap position(s) when appropriate.

    摘要: A method of controlling a voltage regulator having a nominal input and a nominal output structured to operate in a forward power mode wherein power flows from the input to the output and a reverse power mode wherein power flows from the output to the input. The method includes sensing current flowing through the voltage regulator, determining a direction of power flow through the voltage regulator based on the sensed current, determining a verified direction of power flow through the voltage regulator by altering a voltage between the input and the output and analyzing an effect caused thereby on at least one of a voltage at the input and a voltage at the output, and selecting a voltage regulating scheme for controlling the voltage regulator based on the verified direction of power flow.

    摘要: The invention relates to an on-load tap changer for step transformers, which has one main current branch and one auxiliary current branch for each of the two winding taps to be switched. In each main current branch and auxiliary current branch, switching is accomplished by means of a vacuum switching tube. According to the invention, an additional mechanical contact is provided in each of the main current branches and in each of the auxiliary current branches between the respective winding tap to which said branch is electrically connected and the respective vacuum switching tube in said branch. Said mechanical contacts are switched in such a way that the vacuum switching tubes in the main current branch and the auxiliary current branch of the unconnected winding tap can be galvanically isolated from the unconnected winding tap.
