Technical Specification
VR-8 single-phase step voltage regulators are tap-changing autotransformers designed to automati- cally regulate
distribution line voltages in a range of plus or minus 10% in 32 steps of approximately 5/8% each. The following
ratings are available:
• Voltage: 2500 Volts (60 kV BIL) through 34500 Volts (200 kV BIL)
• Current: 50 through 1665 Amps
• KVA: 33 through 1000
• Frequency: 50 or 60 Hertz
Internal potential winding taps and/or an external ratio correction transformer are provided on all ratings so that
each regulator may be applied within a range of system voltages.
A digital control system automatically operates the tap changer mechanism to maintain system voltage within
desired limits. The control system is externally programmable to allow precise setting of control limits and
provides sophisticated capabilities for special control require- ments, communication, and data logging.
Overhead type voltage regulators are supplied with support brackets for pole mounting and have bolt-down
provisions for pad-mounted applications. Substation type voltage regulators are provided with rectangular
substation bases. Elevating platforms are available as an option.
