DIGITAL TRANSFORMER VOLTAGE AND COOLING REGULATOR
 
The digital transformer voltage and cooling regulator of type DTSZ2-EP, DTSZ2-HA-EP is part of device family named EuroProt.This short description contains special data of this type. General and common features of EuroProt family can be found in the EuroProt system information sheet. Accordingly it is proposed to study both this short description and system information sheet too, in order to understand the device entirely.
 
DTSZ2-EP
 
Application field
 
The DTSZ2-EP digital transformer voltage regulator is designed to perform all regulation tasks of high/medium voltage transformers. It is suitable to regulate the secondary voltage of two or three winding transformers, compounding the simulated line drop voltage, to perform voltage supervision (limitation), and to initiate interaction with compensating capacitor banks as well.
Concerning the voltage to be regulated, the automatic voltage regulator has tw'o dead-band settings, which makes possible the regulation with short time delay in case of large voltage deviation. An additional short regulation time delay can be set as well, for the case, if after performing the regulation command the voltage does not return immediately inside the pre-set limits. Within the "remembering time" the subsequent regulating command is issued after this short time delay.
The digital automatic voltage regulator performs not only the functions of traditional solid state voltage regulators (ATSZ) and voltage monitoring (FHA) devices, but for the users it offers all the advantages of the digital technique as well.
The DTSZ2-HA/EP version of the regulator includes the full temperature regulator function (controlling the cooling fans) for the transformers as well.
 
Main features
 
  • the DTSZ.EP voltage regulator can serve two or three winding transformers
  • the automatic voltage regulator function (ATSZ) maintains the voltage of the regulated medium voltage side within the prescribed limits, calculated with load current compensation
  • the function for voltage supervision and limitation (FHA) monitors the voltages of all sides of the transformer, and if it is necessary, it interacts to the process of voltage regulation and to the operation of the capacitor bank(s)
  • the automatic voltage regulation can be switched over to manual operation
  • the voltage setting can be decreased and set back on the front panel and by remote signals too
  • the voltage regulator device can serve for dual bus-bar secondary schemes as well
  • the automatic cooling regulator function of DTSZ2-HA/EP version maintains the temperature of the transformer within finite limits, it controls cooling fans, and in case of failure, the alarm state is signalled. The temperature controller function does not interact with voltage regulation (ATSZ) and voltage limitation (FHA)
  • the temperature controller function (HA) in case of the energised state of the transformer, with operation of the temperature relay, starts all the fans. In case of fan failure it gives alarm signal after the set time delay
  • the temperature controller function (HA) monitors the voltage as well, and if the voltage drops below 50 % the function is inhibited
  • as an option a DlGIPROT disturbance recorder module can be included, which records both (or all the three) side voltages of the transformer and all the currents concerned as analogous signals, and all the digital signals in connection with the operation of the automatic voltage and temperature regulation. It can record the sampled time sequences during 50, 100 or 150 seconds

  • fully numeric signal processing with built-in A/D converter and main processor
  • 16 or 18 (HA version) opto-coupler binary input
  • 8 output relays
  • type of contacts (NO or NC) can individually be selected at order

  • 2x16 character LCD display for relay setting and for message display

  • external communication connection with RS 232 or fibre optic selected by setting
  • optional module for connection to SCADA system
  • parameters can be saved and loaded to the device again
  • real-time clock with battery supplied RAM, which can be synchronised by external computer via fibre optic connector, via built-in IRT interface for the SCADA system, or via opto-coupler-fed binary input
Working principle
 
The DTSZ2-EP transformer voltage regulator performs automatic voltage regulation and voltage limitation (voltage monitoring) functions for the high voltage/medium voltage transformers for the main distribution network.
The main task of the automatic voltage regulation function (ATSZ) is to regulate the secondary voltage of the high/medium voltage regulating transformers in order to keep the voltage of the consumers, connected on different locations to the network, within the allowed limits, independent of the load current. To achieve this the voltage of the medium voltage bus-bar is regulated. The necessary bus-bar voltage-load characteristics are determined based on voltage profile investigation for the given network, the characteristics of the voltage regulator are set based on these results.
The automatic voltage regulator has two setting ranges concerning the voltage to be regulated, and four different regulation time delays can be set to this (to both upper limits and to the lower limits separately). In case of violation of the narrower setting ranges the automatic voltage regulator performs the regulation with longer time delay, according to the setting. If the regulated voltage moves outside the broader range, the automatic voltage regulator performs the regulation with appropriate shorter time delay.
An additional shorter regulating time can be set for the device. If the voltage does not return within the allowed limits after performing the regulation command, within the "remembering time" the subsequent regulating command is issued after this short time delay. The characteristics of the voltage regulator is shown on the following figure.


The voltage limitation function (FHA) (voltage monitoring) means, hat the automatic voltage regulator monitors the voltages on all sides of the transformer, in order to prevent extreme high or extreme low voltage in case of regulator failure or in case of abnormal voltage states of the network, and in case of high voltage side voltage reactive power states to influence the operation of the regulator.
If necessary the switching on or off the capacitor banks connected to the bus-bar is controlled by the regulator as well. In case of three winding transformers the voltage of the not regulated side is monitored, and if necessary, the operation of the voltage regulator must be influenced.

The automatic temperature regulator function (HA) is in operation, if:
  • the power supply is switched on
  • the regulated Uline voltage can be measured (its value is higher than 50 %)
  • the temperature regulation is enabled

If the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled, the automatic voltage regulator receives the starting command of the transformer temperature protection. The starting command means that the temperature of the operating transformer reached the pre-set value, so the intervention of the cooling automatics is necessary .The effect of the starting is that the temperature regulator submits energising command to all cooling fans. Depending on the number of existing cooling fans or fan groups, the appropriate number of closing contacts is used.
If the energising contacts are closed, and during this time a fan fails or stops, a signal is received via the "contact error" digital input. After the pre-set time delay the error signal "Cooling disturbance" is issued.
The cooling automatic function can be enabled or disabled with auxiliary signals via the digital inputs. The enabling/disabling is controlled by signal impulse.
