  • Page 96 9 Operation 9.3.2.1 R&X compensation R&X compensation can compensate for voltage losses on the lines and therefore ensure correct voltage at the load. This requires precise line data. After you have entered all of the line data, the device automatically calcu- lates the ohmic and inductive voltage drop and takes this into account for au- tomatic voltage regulation.
