4- Introduction

Input power is applied across the motor driven variable transformer which has a “center tap”

that divides the variable transformer into bucking and boosting voltage areas.The buck-boost

transformer is a fixed ratio isolation transformer capable of high amperes at low voltage. The

ratio of the buck-boost transformer is determined by the amount of voltage needed to buck or

boost the input line voltage to maintain the specified output level. The buck-boost transformer

secondary is wired in series with the load and the primary is connected across the variable

transformer’s “center tap” and brush terminals.Depending on which side of the “center tap” the

variable transformer brush is positioned, the variable/buck-boost transformer system will add to

(boost) or subtract from (buck) the input line voltage. The further the variable transformer brush

is from the “center tap” the more bucking or boosting of voltage will occur.The key to the proven

reliability and long trouble free service life of a Voltage Regulator is in the combination of a

motor driven variable transformer with buck-boost transformer technology.

Input Output

Figure 1. Single phase regulator block diagram

As shown in figure 1, the only active component in the main power path of the voltage

regulator is the secondary of the buck-boost transformer. This gives the regulator the

advantage of being able to withstand substantial current overloads.The variable transformer

brushes, which are the most vulnerable component in any variable transformer system, are

completely isolated from overload conditions by the buck-boost transformer. Due to transformer

inefficiency above rated design, the amount of current that the buck-boost transformer can

induce across to its primary winding and into the variable transformer circuit is dramatically

decreased as regulator overload

current increases.

The controller monitors the regulator’s output voltage and then uses these feedback signals

to determine drive commands for the variable transformer motor interface circuit. The controller

is designed to adjust the motorized variable transformer to provide a +/-1~2% or better output

voltage regulation over the entire input voltage range.

Voltage and current indicator: (There is no voltage & current meter indication below 50KVA).

Voltage meter (V) indicates the output voltage.

Voltage selector indicates per phase( U V W) with N the output voltage.

6- Preliminary warnings to use the AVR

Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) are used to protect the sensitive loads from the unstable

mains and to provide proper operating of the load.

Related points for human health are mentioned in “Safety Warnings” part of this manual.

In this part, these points will repeated to give information about the connections of AVR and the

load.

•When installing the AVR to use cable with improper diameter can be dangerous for user

health and safety of the unit.

• Earth cable should be chosen concerning the current capacity, which is written on the label on

the front panel of the AVR. All units earth connections, which are connected to AVR, should

be done with this earth cable. Without earth, connection or unproved earth connected units

are dangerous for user health and have high risk of electronic circuit board faults.
