Selectable Deadband: The deadband is the voltage range above the Block Raise Level where no tap changer operation takes place. In the M-0329B, it is selectable as 1, 2, 3, or 4 V rms. Measured voltages above the Block Raise Level plus the deadband will cause the control to immediately issue a Lower command.

Fungus Resistance: A conformal printed circuit board coating inhibits fungus growth. Transient Protection Input and output circuits are protected against system transients. The M-0329B will pass all the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1-1989, which defines oscillatory and fast transient surge withstand capability. All inputs and outputs will withstand 1500 V ac to chassis or instrument ground for one minute.

WARNING DANGEROUS VOLTAGES, capable of causing death or serious injury, are present on the external terminals and inside the equip- ment. Use extreme caution and follow all safety rules when han- dling, testing or adjusting the equipment. However, these internal voltage levels are no greater than the voltages applied to the exter- nal terminals.

PRODUCT CAUTIONS Before attempting any test, calibration, or maintenance procedure, personnel must be completely familiar with the particular circuitry of this unit, and have an adequate understanding of field effect devices. If a component is found to be defective, always follow replacement procedures carefully to that assure safety features are maintained.
Designed to replace the Beckwith M-0029 LTC the TIME DELAY control. Control Backup Relay as well as the M-0145 First Blocking contacts on the M-0329B will operate Customer Protector, the single-phase, solid-state within 0.2 seconds after a voltage excursion to...
Since sudden changes in the transformer primary voltage may move the secondary voltage outside the range of the LTC control and the M-0329B, a 3 minute timer is provided to allow a normal control to correct the voltage. After 3 minutes of abnormal voltage, the M-0329B ALARM contact will indicate an abnormal condition.
