    SVR-1 Step Voltage Regulator INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION An SVR-1 regulator can regulate the voltage on a single- phase circuit or one phase of a delta- or wye-connected three-phase circuit as described below and as illustrated in the connection diagrams on page 9. Do not connect three regulators in a wye configuration on a three-phase, three-wire circuit.

    “S” and “L” bushings using the supplied mounting provi- sions. The top lead of each arrester should be connected SVR-1 regulators may be operated at less than the rated to the adjacent bushing terminal. Arrester grounding is voltage as indicated on the nameplate. When operated at achieved through the arrester mounting brackets.
