The modular system used in our TAPCON® 240 and TAPCON® 260 voltage regulators provides maximum fl exibility and a comprehensive scope of function. TAPCON® 240 and TAPCON® 260 allow you to run up to 16 transformers in parallel and support the current control system protocols for station automation – ideal for fl exible and convenient voltage regulation. Commissioning on site is done quickly and, above all, in a user-friendly manner thanks to the TAPCON®-trol confi guration software.

TAPCON® 260 – the all-rounder

Our all-rounder, TAPCON® 260, is the right choice for challenging regulation work extending beyond the standard scope of the TAPCON® 240. On request, it can be individually adapted to your requirements.

Maximum operational reliability through integration in redundant networks

With immediate effect, the TAPCON® 260 can also support integration in redundant network systems with the RSTP and PRP protocols. Even if a connec-tion to the control system fails, interrupt-free com-munication is ensured.

Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR) has been developing and manufacturing voltage regulators for over 40 years. All this time, our goal has been to provide our customers with the best possible solutions. The voltage regula-tors of the TAPCON® series provide the right device for all scenarios.

We place great emphasis on operator comfort in devices from the TAPCON® range. This includes a contrast-rich graphics display with clearly arranged indicators and freely programmable LEds.

FUNCTIONAL ANd COMFORTABLE VOLTAGE REGULATORS.

TAPGUARd® 240 and TAPGUARd® 260 can be installed quickly due to insulation displacement connectors and diverse assembly variants. The standard control system protocols for station automation are supported – including IEC 61850 Edition 2 with immediate effect. TAPCON® 240 and TAPCON® 260 are therefore ideal for fl exible and convenient voltage regulation.

Extending beyond the function of the TAPCON® 240, our professional TAPCON® 260 device offers virtually unlimited possibilities. The firmware of the TAPCON® 260 is adapted specifically to your needs. This produces a voltage regulator which can handle simple regulation tasks as well as complex challenges and thereby satisfy your every requirement including the regulation of three-winding transformers, parallel transformer bank operations, or individual programming for the phase-shift oscillator regulation.

The parallel bank operation solution

Parallel bank operation is the regulation of a bank of transformers comprising three single-phase trans-formers with three separate motor-drive units and

on-load tap-changers. In this application, one single TAPCON® 260 voltage regulator is enough to control the three motor-drive units. The load voltage of a bank of transformers is regulated as per the voltage regula-tion description.

TAPCON® 260 APPLICATION EXAMPLE: 3 PHYSICALLY SEPARATE SINGLE-PHASE TRANSFORMERSUSED AS PHASE SHIFTERS We were contacted by an Austrian energy provider with a very challenging job: one phase shifter comprising three single-phase transformers. MR's solution: three sets, each comprising three VACUTAP® VR® on-load tap-changers combined with two COMTAP® ARS off-circuit tap-changers. This complex regulation challenge was solved with special programming on four TAPCON® 260 voltage regulators. One TAPCON® 260 was fitted into each of the tap-changer drives of the individual phases (3 x slave) and one master TAPCON® 260 was placed in the control room.
