The device pro- vides 2 methods of compensation for this purpose: ▪ R&X compensation ▪ Z compensation Figure 59: Setting line drop compensation Note the description below for configuration of line drop compensation. TAPCON® 3587317/10 EN Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2016...
R&X compensation can compensate for voltage losses on the lines and therefore ensure correct voltage on the consumer. This requires precise line data. After you have entered all of the line data, the TAPCON® automatically calculates the ohmic and inductive voltage drop and takes this into account for automatic voltage regulation.
To keep the voltage constant for the consumer, you can use Z compensation to activate a current-dependent increase in voltage. You can also define a limit value to avoid excess voltage on the transformer. Figure 62: Z compensation TAPCON® 3587317/10 EN Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2016...
