INGEPAC™ EF VR allows voltage regulation in power transformers with tap changers, keeping the output voltage of the transformers steady and sending the signals to raise or lower taps to the tap changer.
INGEPAC™ EF VR is suitable to operate independently or in parallel configurations, up to 5 transformers connected to the same busbar. The communication between the voltage regulators will be carried out through IEC 61850 GOOSE messages.
In order to monitor the status of the transformer and control its useful life, INGEPAC™ EF VR allows the monitoring of oil temperature, which can be collected either through RTD inputs or through mA input.
