General
McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 voltage regulators are regulating auto-transformers. They regulate rated voltage from 10% raise (boost) to 10% lower (buck) in 32 approximately 5 /
8 percent steps.
McGraw-Edison regulators are supplied with the following standard features:
• Dual-rated 55/65°C rise
• ADD-AMP™ capability
• Unit construction
• Sealed-tank construction
• Pressure relief device
• 17” minimum creep bushings with clamp-type connectors
• MOV-type external series arrester
• Shunt arrester mounting bosses
• Two laser-etched nameplates
• Oil sight gauge
• Upper filter press connection
• Drain valve and oil-sampling device
• CE mark compliant control
• Control cable quick disconnect
The 65°C rise insulation system and the sealed-tank construction allow for a bonus capacity 12% above the
55°C nominal rating without loss of normal insulation life. The bonus capacity is stated on the nameplate
(such as 167/187 kVA for a nominal 167 kVA regulator).
All McGraw-Edison regulators are manufactured and tested to ANSI standard C57.15.
Unit construction, which suspends the internal assembly from the cover, allows for ease of inspection and maintenance.
There are three types of step-voltage regulators: sourceside series winding (Type B), load-side series winding
(Type A), and series transformer. McGraw-Edison regulators are usually equipped with an equalizer winding. The nameplates located on the tank and control box define the power circuit.

Receiving, Installation and Maintenance
Receiving
Inspection
Prior to shipment, the regulator is thoroughly tested and inspected at the factory. Immediately upon receipt of the regulator shipment, before unloading, a thorough inspection should be made for damage, evidence of rough handling or shortages. The position indicator, junction box, arrester, radiators and bushings should all be inspected for evidence of damage. Should this initial inspection reveal evidence of rough handling, damage, or shortages, it should be noted on the bill of lading and a claim should immediately be made with the carrier. Also, notify Cooper Power Systems,
2300 Badger Drive, Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188, attention Service Manager.
Unloading
When an overhead crane is used for unloading, the regulator must be lifted by means of a sling and
spreader bar utilizing the tank-mounted lifting lugs which are shown in Figure 2. Do not lift the entire
unit with the lifting eyes on the cover. The lifting eyes are only to be used to untank the internal assembly which is attached to the cover.
CAUTION: Do not subject tap changer to temperatures above 150°F (66°C). To do so may cause damage to the contact panels, resulting in misalignment of the contacts.
regulator and filter oil before putting unit in service.
See Table 1-5, page 1-12, for values that oil should meet. Be sure to properly replace handhole cover.
4. Check position indicator for damage. When cleaning the faceplate, do NOT use solvent or fuel.
5. If regulator has been stored for some time, test dielectric strength of oil according to
Table 1-5, page 1-12.
6. Regulator may be energized at rated voltage (with caution) and an operational check (see page 1-10) can be performed. (This procedure is optional.)
7. A high-potential test may be done to ensure adequate electrical clearances to ground. (This procedure is optional.)
WARNING: The cover may fracture if the cover-mounted lifting eyes are used to lift the entire unit. Lift the entire unit only with tank-mounted lifting lugs.

Storing
If the regulator is not to be placed into immediate use, it can be stored with minimal precautions. Store the unit where the possibility of mechanical damage is minimized.
Installation
Pre-Installation Inspection
Before connecting the regulator to the line, make the following inspection:
1. Check oil sight gauge. Look for visible signs of oil leakage.
2. Examine series arrester for damage. If damaged, install a new arrester of same voltage rating.
3. Inspect porcelain bushings for damage or leaking seals. If there is a suspicion that moisture has entered unit, remove handhole cover and inspect for evidence of moisture such as rust or water tracks in oil. If moisture has entered that tank, dry

WARNING: Connect the “S” bushing to the source, the “L” bushing to the load, and the
“SL” bushing to neutral. To do otherwise may cause excessively high or low voltage on the load side of the regulator or cause severe damage to the regulator.
Systems Connections
A regulator can regulate a single-phase circuit, or one phase of a three-phase wye (star) or delta circuit.
Two regulators connected phase-to-phase in open-delta, or three regulators connected phase-to-phase in closeddelta, can regulate a three-phase, three-wire circuit.
When connected in wye, three regulators can regulate a three-phase, four-wire multi-grounded wye circuit. Three regulators should not be connected directly in wye on three-phase, three-wire circuits because of the probability of neutral shift, unless the neutral is connected to the neutral of a wye-connected bank of distribution transformers or to the substation transformer secondary neutral. Typical connection diagrams are illustrated in Figures 1-1 through 1-5.

McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control
Mounting
A regulator can be mounted on a pole, crossarm platform or elevating structure. Regulators are normally provided with either pole mounting brackets or a substation base according to the rating. An elevating structure can be provided to simplify substation installation of regulators requiring a specific live part-toground clearance.
The regulator control can be mounted on the regulator tank, or at a point remote from the unit. Rubber-covered cable is available in 5 foot (1.52 m) incremental lengths from 15 feet (4.57 m) to 45 feet (13.7 m) for interconnection between the control and the regulator.
Placing a Regulator in Service
Regulators can be placed in service without interrupting load continuity once bypass and disconnect switches are installed.
WARNING: Closing the bypass switch with the tap changer in any position other than neutral will short-circuit part of the series winding.
Before closing the bypass switch, the regulator must be in neutral, the control switch set to OFF and the motor circuit fuse removed.
Procedure A should be followed when one bypass switch and two disconnect switches are used. Procedure
B should be followed when a regulator bypass-disconnect switch is used.
A ground pad tapped for 1/2 inch 13 NC thread is provided on the side of the control cabinet.
WARNING: For the protection of personnel from surges while operating the control, the following control enclosure grounding procedures should be followed:
If the enclosure is attached to the regulator tank or is remote from the tank but only accessible with a ladder, then the enclosure should be connected to the regulator-to-ground rod conductor.
If the enclosure is accessible by personnel standing on the ground, then the enclosure should be directly connected to a ground mat and ground rod.
When energizing the control from an external source, use only a 120 V ac source, unless the control is set up for 240 volts, indicated by a decal adjacent to the terminals.

Setting the Control for Service
There are more than 50 parameters on the control which are user-selectable. Many of these values pertain to the operation of the advanced features that are not needed for normal regulator operations. A full detailed description of each of the features is given in the Control
Advanced Features section, along with set-up instructions.
The control must be energized to perform the programming. This can be accomplished by applying
120 V (or other voltage as indicated by the decal) to the external source terminals and placing the power switch in the external position. Alternately, the regulator may be energized at line potential, and the power switch placed in the internal position. When power is applied to the control, all segments of the display will light, followed by a PASS indication. If the FAIL message is encountered, see Diagnostics, on page 2-5.
Accessing the Control
Before gaining access to change the control settings, the proper security level must be activated. This is accomplished by entering a security code at the
Function Code 99 location. Depress the following keys on the keypad:
FUNCTION, 99, ENTER
12121, ENTER
The proper level of security to change operational settings has now been activated.
All programming of the control is done through the keypad or communication ports.
For quick set-up of Cooper Power Systems regulators, see Table 1-1, page 1-5. For complete set-up, see
Table1-2, page 1-6 for a detailed checklist for control programming. The only two parameters this checklist does not address are voltage and current calibration,

Determination of Leading or Lagging
For a regulator to operate properly when connected phase to phase, it is necessary for the control to be programmed with the correct regulator configuration in
Function Code 41. It must be determined whether it is connected “leading” or “lagging”. The control aids the operator in making this determination.
1. Regulator must be installed.
2. Power switch must be set to Internal.
3. V
1 knife switch (and V
6
, if present) must be closed.
4. Knife switch C must be open. Current must be flowing.
5. Control (Auto/Remote-Off-Manual) switch may be in any position.
6. For regulator #1, set Function Code 41 to 1 (Delta
Lag) and record the Power Factor, Function
Code 13.
7. For the same regulator set Function Code 41 to 2
(Delta Lead) and record the Power Factor.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each regulator in the bank.
For each regulator, one of the two power factor values will be reasonable and the other will be unreasonable.

Set the Regulator Configuration (FC 41) to the value which produced the reasonable power factor.
For one regulator: Set Function Code 41 to the value which produced the reasonable power factor.
For two regulators in open delta: See the example in
Table 1-4. In an open delta connection one of the regulators will always be leading and the other lagging.
The reasonable power factor for each regulator should be very close to the typical power factor of the system. In this example, regulator #1 is the lagging unit and regulator #2 is the leading unit.
For three regulators in closed delta: In closed delta, all three regulators are either leading or lagging, depending on how they are connected relative to generator phase rotation.

Operational Check
Pre-Installation Operational Check
The CL-5 Series Control has the facilities for either manual or automatic operation of the tap changer, using either the internal source of power (the regulator), or an external source. To perform an operational check of the control before installing the regulator, follow these steps:
1. Open V
1
(and V
6
, if present) knife switch(es) located on control backpanel.
2. Place POWER switch in OFF position, and
CONTROL switch in OFF position.
3. Connect a variable 120-volt 50/60 Hz source to
EXTERNAL SOURCE terminals. Grounded side of external source must connect to ground (white) terminal on control.
4. Place POWER switch in EXTERNAL position.
5. Move CONTROL switch to MANUAL, and depress and hold RAISE-LOWER momentary toggle switch. Allow tap changer to operate to 8L, the 5% buck position.
6. Hold up on RAISE-LOWER momentary toggle switch. Allow tap changer to operate to 8R, the 5% boost position.
7. Now place Control switch in the AUTO/REMOTE position.
8. Increase variable voltage source so applied voltage is out of band. Note that “HIGH” band annunciator in display will come on. After time delay period, control will issue “LOWER” tap change signals. Check to ensure that operations counter is registering tap changes by pressing “0” key on keypad.
9. Decrease variable voltage source so applied voltage is out of band. Note that “LOW” band annunciator in display will come on. After time delay period, control will issue “RAISE” tap change signals. Check to ensure that operations counter is registering tap changes.
10. Place CONTROL switch in MANUAL position and manually return tap changer to NEUTRAL. When on NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL LAMP will light continuously and position indicator will point to zero.
11. Place CONTROL switch in OFF position.
12. Press down on momentary toggle switch labeled
DRAG HAND RESET, and position indicator drag hands will reset around indicating hand.
13. Turn POWER switch to OFF and disconnect power supply from EXTERNAL SOURCE terminals.
In-Service Operational Check
With the control now set for basic operation, an operational check of manual and automatic operation should be performed as follows:
1. Depress “8” key to display compensated voltage.
2. Place control switch in MANUAL position.
3. Lift up on Raise/Lower switch to activate a raise operation.
4. Allow tap changer to operate for enough steps to take voltage out of band.
5. Place control switch in the AUTO position. After time delay period, the control should cause the regulator to step down to the top band edge.
(EXAMPLE: 120 V and a 2 V B.W. = 121 V top band edge.) This should be shown in the display.
6. After voltage is brought in-band and tap changing has stopped, move control switch to the MANUAL position.
7. Press down on Raise/Lower switch to activate a lower operation.
8. Allow tap changer to operate for enough steps to take voltage out of band.
9. Place control switch in the AUTO position. After time delay period, the control should cause the regulator to step up to the lower band edge.
(EXAMPLE: 120 V and a 2 V B.W. = 119 V lower band edge.) This should be shown in the display.
Field Calibration Check
If the operator also desires to check the calibration of the control, perform the steps listed below.
NOTE: Field calibration checks are only an indication of calibration, and are not nearly as precise as the laboratory procedure described in the Troubleshooting
Guide section of this manual.
1. Connect an accurate true-RMS responding voltmeter to the voltmeter terminals.
2. The easiest and most direct way to perform a calibration check is to compare the voltage that the control “sees” to the voltage measured at the test terminals. This is accomplished by accessing the keypad and keying:
FUNCTION, 47, ENTER.
3. Under ideal conditions, the displayed voltage of the control will match the voltage of the voltmeter.
Realistically, the voltages may be slightly different because:
1-10
McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control a. The metering and operation is based upon the
RMS value of the fundamental power line frequency. Thus, the metered values exclude the influences of harmonic voltages which are probably present on the line. A true-RMS meter however, will include these harmonic voltages in its calculations of the RMS voltage. This does not present a problem with either metering device, since each device uses a different approach to metering.
b. The calibration of the voltmeter being used for measurement is probably not exact. Even a very good meter with a basic accuracy of 0.5% could be in error by as much as 0.6 V (out of
120 V), and still be considered to be “incalibration.” The control is calibrated using a conditioned power supply and reference voltmeters which are periodically calibrationchecked, traceable to the National Bureau of Standards.
NOTE: The control is designed to perform ratio correction in software. Through the use of the ratio correcting transformer (RCT) located on the back panel, the voltage brought to the front panel is usually already corrected to the 120 V base voltage. However, there are some ratings in which this voltage is not fully corrected by the RCT. Column 6 in Table 1-10 or 1-11, page 1-21 gives a general indication of these voltages, however, always refer to the nameplate which provides the specific information for the particular regulator.
Whatever voltage results from dividing the nominal system voltage, FC43, by the overall P.T. ratio, FC44, is considered by the control to be the nominal voltage.
Therefore, when that voltage appears at the input of the control, 120 volts will be reported as the output voltage,
FC6 (whether the nominal is actually 120 or not).
Likewise, the compensated voltage, FC8, and input voltage, FC7, will be scaled accordingly. If the regulator is equipped and programmed for reverse power operation, the voltage displayed at Function Code 8 will be correct even during reverse power conditions.
The load voltage, FC10, source voltage, FC11, and calculated parameters such as the kVA, kW and kvar are not scaled similar to FCs 6 and 8. Instead, they reflect the true value of line voltage.
NOTE: The voltage measured at the test terminals during reverse power flow is the new source voltage at the L bushing of the regulator.
Removal From Service
Determining Neutral Position
WARNING: In order to prevent possible damage to equipment and injury to personnel, prior to bypass switching being attempted, the following must be accomplished: 1) The regulator must be placed in the neutral position; 2) action must be taken to prevent tap changer operation while the bypassing is being performed.
If the regulator is in any position other than neutral, part of the series winding will be shorted if bypass switch is closed. This results in high circulating current which can severely damage the regulator. If catastrophic failure occurs, it could pose a threat of injury or death to operating personnel.
Return the regulator to neutral. The regulator can be safely removed from service without interrupting load continuity only in the neutral position. It is recommended to use more than one method to determine whether a regulator is on neutral.
To Return the Regulator to Neutral
1. Use Raise/Lower switch to bring regulator to neutral position.
WARNING: A regulator should be bypassed with the line energized only if both the position indicator and the neutral light indicate neutral. If both do not indicate neutral, the line should be de-energized to avoid shorting part of the series winding.
WARNING: Always use the control switch
(labeled AUTO/REMOTE-OFF-MANUAL) to operate the regulator, not the power switch. Failure to do so may result in the tap changer stepping off of neutral immediately upon being energized.
2. When in neutral, neutral light will light continuously and position indicator will point to zero.
WARNING: To stop the regulator on the neutral position, the control switch should be turned to OFF during the switching operation from positions “1” or “-1” to position zero. Switching to
OFF prior to reaching the neutral position prevents overshoot.
1-11
S225-10-10
3. To increase safety, we recommend verifying that the regulator is in the neutral position using the following three methods: a. Verify that the neutral indicator light on the control is indicating the neutral position. Neutral is indicated only when the light is continuously illuminated.
b. Verify that position indicator is in the neutral position.
c. Using an acceptable method, verify that there is no voltage difference between the source and load bushings.
4. When the regulator has been placed in the neutral position, and prior to bypassing, additional safety action must be taken to ensure that the tap changer will not inadvertently switch to an off-neutral position. This can be accomplished by doing the following: a. Place the control (Auto/Remote-Off-Manual) switch in OFF position.
b. Remove motor fuse.
c. Place control power switch in OFF position.
d. Open V
1 knife switch (and V on control back panel.
6 if present) located
If the precautions listed above are taken, the likelihood of damaging a regulator or injuring personnel is eliminated.
De-energizing the Regulator
Once it has been established that the regulator is on neutral, immediately proceed with the following steps:
1. Place control (Auto/Remote-Off-Manual) switch in
OFF position.
2. Place power switch in OFF position.
3. Open V
1 knife switch (and V
6 if present) on back panel (see Figure 1-7, page 1-8).
4. Remove the 6 A motor fuse.
5. Close bypass switch.
6. Open load (L) disconnect switch.
7. Open source (S) disconnect switch.
8. Open source-load (SL) disconnect switch, if available.
NOTE: If a regulator bypass disconnect is used in place of three separate switches, steps 5, 6 and 7 are carried out in one operation.
Maintenance Program
Periodic Inspections
Step-type voltage regulators are designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation. Proper operation of the regulator can be checked without removing the unit from service. Using the manual mode of operation, run the regulator several steps in the raise direction, and then switch the control back to auto. After the time delay, FC3, expires, the regulator should return to band edge. When this has been completed, use the manual mode of operation to run the regulator several steps in the lower direction, and then switch the control back to auto. After the time delay, the regulator should return to band edge.
If the regulator will not operate properly, a substitute control can be tried before removing the unit from service. Refer to the following sections for proper procedures on removing and replacing the control.
Since the usable life of a regulator is affected by its application, it may be desirable to periodically remove the regulator from service and untank the unit to verify contact wear, oil dielectric, etc. The time for this will vary, depending on a specific user’s past experience.
The oil should be checked (a) prior to energization, if the regulator has not been energized for a long time period, or (b) at normal maintenance intervals. Table 1-5 shows the characteristics that the oil should meet.

Removal of Control Front Panel
The front panel may be removed from the regulator with the regulator energized.
To open the front panel, unscrew the captive knurled knobs on the left side of the panel. This allows the control to swing open on its hinges. With the control open, the back panel is readily accessible. The design of the control enclosure, back panel and front panel enable easy replacement of the front panel, leaving the back panel, control enclosure, and cable intact. To remove the front panel, proceed as follows:
WARNING: Push the C shorting switch closed before attempting to remove the fanning strip. Failure to do so may open the regulator
CT circuit, producing a flashover in the control.
1. Push closed the current shorting switch, C. This shorts out the secondary of the regulator CT.
NOTE: Regulators shipped with a quick disconnect cable contain a solid-state CT shorting board in the junction box. This device automatically places a burden on the CT anytime the CT circuit is opened. For consistency, it is recommended that the CT shorting switch be used whenever it is present on the back panel.
2. Pull open disconnect switch, V
1
, (and V
6 if present).
This de-energizes terminal board TB
2
.
3. Loosen screws on terminal board TB
2 at the bottom of back panel.
4. Pull fanning strip (a series of terminals, wired to front panel) free from terminal strip.
5. Disconnect front panel ground lead from back panel.
The front panel can now be lifted off its hinges. Care should be taken to prevent damage to a control front panel while in transit and/or storage.
Replacement of Control Front Panel
To replace a front panel in the control enclosure, follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Engage the front panel on enclosure hinges.
2. Connect front panel ground lead to back panel.
3. Insert fanning strip from front panel wiring harness under TB
2 terminal board screws.
4. Tighten screws on interconnecting terminal board.
5. Push closed the disconnect switch, V
1
, (and V
6 if present).
6. Pull open the current shorting switch, C.
7. Close panel and tighten panel locking screws.
WARNING: Do not pull open the current shorting switch, C, until the screws have been tightened on the interconnecting terminal block.
Failure to do so could open the regulator CT secondary causing a flashover in the control.
Untanking the Regulator
WARNING: When the internal assembly is lifted for inspection or maintenance, blocking should be placed between the cover and the top of the tank to keep the assembly from falling should the lifting apparatus fail.
CAUTION: Before untanking a regulator that contains a thermometer, (1) lower the oil level below the thermometer, then (2) remove the thermometer well. Failure to do so will result in damage to the thermometer well and/or spillage of oil when the internal assembly is lifted.
CAUTION: Do not suspend the control box using the control cable.
1. Manually run tap changer to neutral, if possible. If not, record position indicator reading before proceeding to untank.
2. Disconnect control cable from bottom of junction box (Figure 1-9).
3. Remove series arrester. Release internal pressure using pressure relief device on side of regulator.
4. Free cover by removing clamping ring or cover bolts.
5. Attach sling or hooks with spreader bar (Figure
1-10) to lifting eyes and raise the cover, with the attached core-and-coil assembly, until the top of the coil is approximately one inch under oil.
As a safety precaution, blocking between the cover and tank lip should be used until inspection of the tap changer or other maintenance is complete. A service cable assembly is available for operating an untanked regulator from the mounted control cabinet, if connection cable is not long enough.
Contact customer service for availability.

Retanking the Regulator
Retank the regulator as follows:
1. Be sure position indicator shows present position of the tap changer. If not, remove indicator cable in junction box from position indicator shaft after loosening set screw. Rotate indicator shaft until proper position is reached, then tighten set screw. Verify coordination of position indicator with tap changer in the neutral position
(control neutral light on). Refer to page 6-3 for position indicator replacement.
2. Check gasket seat surfaces on cover and tank and wipe clean. Wipe gasket and position it on tank lip. Loosen horizontal side channel bolts to ensure proper seating of regulator in tank and proper cover seal.
3. Raise cover assembly and attached components over tank. Make certain of proper orientation.
4. Lower unit, rotating channels counter-clockwise into tank guides.
5. Seat unit in tank. Tighten cover clamps or bolts.
NOTE: Tap cover with a rubber hammer around edge to properly seal gasket while tightening cover band.
6. Check and retighten horizontal side channel bolts through handhole, if required.
7. Properly reseal handhole cover, being careful not to damage cover or insulation on the handhole cover bolt.
8. Connect control cable to connector at bottom of junction box.
Maintenance
The following is the recommended maintenance program for a regulator that has been untanked:
1. Check all connections for tightness.
2. Check all contacts for wear (refer to S225-10-2).
3. Avoid removing main core-and-coil assembly from oil, except when a winding failure occurs.
Blocking between cover and tank lip should be used to suspend core-and-coil assembly within oil until inspection of tap changer or other maintenance is complete.
If it is necessary to remove main core-and-coil assembly from oil, the following steps should be followed. a. Tap changer must not be subjected to temperatures above 150°F (66°C). It must be removed if the unit is baked at higher temperatures.
1-14
McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control b. If unit is out of oil more than four hours, it must be rebaked for a minimum of 24 hours at 100°C (212°F). The maximum number of times a unit should be rebaked is twice over its life.
c. Within four hours after bake, the unit should be retanked and filled with oil.
d. It is recommended that a vacuum be pulled on the unit for at least one hour (2 mm of vacuum or better) after the unit is completely refilled with oil. If vacuum processing is not available, allow entire internal assembly to soak in oil for at least five days before energizing.
Construction
Surge Protection
Series Arrester
All VR-32 Regulators are equipped with a bypass arrester connected across the series winding between the source (S) and load (L) bushings. This arrester limits the voltage developed across the series winding during lightning strikes, switching surges and line faults. The series surge arrester can be seen in Figure 2, page 3. A heavy-duty MOV-type series surge arrester of 3 kV offers series winding protection on all regulators except those rated 22,000 V and greater, which have a 6 kV
MOV-type series surge arrester.
Shunt Arresters
A shunt arrester is a recommended accessory on the
VR-32 regulator for protection of the shunt winding. The shunt arrester is a direct-connected arrester mounted on the tank and connected between the bushing and ground (earth). It is recommended that arresters be applied to all non-grounded bushings.
For best results, locate these arresters on the mounting pads provided on the tank near the bushing. Connect the arrester and the regulator tank to the same ground connection using the shortest cable possible. Shunt arrester application data is listed in Table 1-6.

Position Indicator & ADD-AMP
Capability
The position indicator (Figure 1-11) is mounted on a junction box on the cover of the regulator and is directly connected to the tap changer by a flexible drive shaft passing through the junction box and terminal board via a sealing gland.
The indicator face is graduated in steps. Drag hands indicate the maximum and minimum positions attained during raise and lower operations. The drag hands are automatically reset around to the main hand position by operating the drag hand reset switch on the control front panel.
During forward power flow the main hand of the position indicator will be to the right of the neutral position when the regulator is boosting. During reverse power flow the main hand will be to the left of the neutral position when the regulator is boosting.
The ADD-AMP feature of VR-32 regulators allows increased current capacity by reducing the regulation range. This is accomplished by either setting limit switches in the position indicator or enabling function code 79 (soft ADD-AMP) to prevent the tap changer from traveling beyond a set position in either raise or lower directions.
The limit switches have scales graduated in percent regulation, and are adjustable to specific values of 5,
6 1 ⁄
4
, 7 1 ⁄
2
, 8 3 ⁄
4
, and 10% regulation to alter the regulation range. These percentages translate to tap position limitations of 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 raise or lower. The five possible load current ratings associated with the reduced regulation ranges are summarized in Tables 1-7 and 1-8.
Higher regulation ranges are realized in closed delta application. When using the limit switches, a detent stop at each setting provides positive adjustment. Settings other than those stops are not recommended. The raise and lower limits need not be the same value unless reverse power is possible. The regulator will stay within the ADD-AMP limits set forth by the control or the position indicator, whichever limit is of a lower regulation percentage.
NOTE: If the ADD-AMP limits have been programmed into the control (soft ADD-AMP) and the limit switches have not been set, it is possible to manually step the tap changer beyond the ADD-AMP limit. If the unit is switched back to automatic mode, the control will step the regulator back to within the ADD-AMP limits set in the control.

Setting the Manual (Hard) Limit
Switches
Before setting the manual limit switches, be sure the new settings will not conflict with the present tap changer position. Do not set the switches below the indicated tap changer position. For example, if the main hand is at step 12 and the change to be made is from plus or minus 10% (step 16) to plus or minus 5% (step 8), run the tap changer back to step 7 or less, manually. Then set the limit switches for plus or minus 5% regulation.
Limit switches should be set in anticipation of the maximum deviation of primary voltage. For example, on a circuit where 7200 V is to be maintained, plus or minus
10% will permit voltages between 6480 V and 7920 V to be regulated effectively. For voltages outside this range, the regulator will not be able to return the voltage to the preselected level (7200 V). Five percent regulation would accommodate circuit voltages between 6840 and
7560 V, maintaining 7200 V for all voltages in this range.
To set the limit switches, follow this two-step procedure:
1. Loosen the captive bezel securing screws and swing the bezel open.
2. Lift the limit switch adjustment lever free of the detent and slide it to the new setting allowing the lever to snap into the detent stop.
Internal Construction & Wiring
Diagrams
The main core-and-coil assemblies are of the shell-form configuration. The series winding on the input (source) side of the regulator (Figure 1-12) allows all windings
(control, shunt and series) to be located in one coil assembly. The load voltage is monitored by the control winding.
Regulators that have the series winding on the output (load) side (Figure 1-13) have a separate potential transformer installed on the load side in lieu of a control winding.
The control winding or separate potential transformer supplies a voltage for the tap changer motor and the control sensing circuit. Additional taps are available on them for line voltages lower than rated voltage.
Most regulators, depending upon the rating, have an equalizer winding. This winding improves contact life for high-current applications.
Figure 1-14 shows a typical regulator power circuit with a series transformer. This design is utilized when the load current rating exceeds the tap changer rating. In this type of design, the series transformer winding losses are a function of the load alone and are independent of the tap position. Because of this, limiting the range of voltage regulation does not reduce losses and therefore, the ADD-AMP feature is not applicable.
The bridging reactor is a core-form design, consisting of a coil on each leg of one core. The inside half of one coil is connected to the outside half of the other coil and vice versa, providing equal current in each half of the reactor winding. This interlacing of the two coils reduces the interwinding leakage reactance to a very low value. The reactor is completely isolated from ground by stand-off insulators since the reactor coil is at line voltage above ground. The reactor core, core clamps and other associated parts approach this level.
The current transformer is a toroid, through which the load current passes. It furnishes a current proportional to load current for the line-drop compensator and metering features.
The tap changer enables the regulator to provide regulation in smooth, accurately proportioned steps at a controlled speed that minimizes arcing and extends contact life. Figures 6-3 and 6-4 in the Troubleshooting section illustrate typical internal wiring schemes of the various types of regulator constructions. Most of the wiring is on the tap changer itself. Application, troubleshooting and operation of the tap changer and related components are covered extensively in Service
Manual S225-10-2.
The terminal board inside the junction box on the cover connects the internal tank wiring to the position indicator and control. The junction box wiring is shown in Figure
6-1, page 6-5.

Voltage Circuits
All McGraw-Edison VR-32 regulators have provisions for operation at system voltages lower than the nameplate rating, as illustrated in Tables 1-10 and 1-11. This is accomplished by providing taps on the control winding or
P.T. The taps are brought to a terminal board located on top of the tap changer assembly, under oil and are marked E
1
, E
2
, etc. (See Figure 1-15.) The connections are made with push-on terminals and are easily accessed through the handhole.
Regulators built prior to 1995 will have all the voltage terminal connections mounted on the top of the tap changer. Since the middle of 1995, the voltage connections will be as shown in figure 1-15.

LOAD
The tapped potential winding cannot always provide adjustment of the voltage fine enough for control or motor use. A tapped autotransformer is therefore used for fine voltage adjustment. This transformer, the Ratio
Correcting Transformer (RCT
1
), has input taps at 104,
110, 115, 120, 127, and 133 V. The output tap to the control and motor is set as 120 V. RCT
1 is located on the control back panel (see Figure 1-7, page 1-3). To operate a regulator on a system other than its rating, the appropriate selection must be made for the internal tap and RCT
1 tap, and the control must be programmed properly at Function Code 43 (System Line Voltage) and
Function Code 44 (Overall P.T. Ratio). The nameplate provides these values for common system voltages (see
Figure 1-8 on page 1-9).
This voltage supply is then brought from the tap changer terminal board to the junction box terminal board through the control cable, into the enclosure, terminating at the knife switch labeled V
1
. Opening this knife switch provides a visible means of removing all power to the control and motor circuits. From the knife switch, the voltage is ratio corrected by RCT
1 as previously described. The motor circuit is routed directly to the control front panel and the sensing potential is brought back to the top terminal strip through a series of removable jumpers, and then to the front panel. This scheme allows for the complete interchangeability with all the prior CL-series controls and accompanying accessories.
If a regulator is purchased with the intent of using it in an area where reverse power flow is likely, the unit may
1-19
S225-10-10 have a second voltage source installed internal to the regulator to develop the source-side voltage supply. (For the CL-5C and subsequent controls, reverse power flow may instead be handled using the source voltage calculator. See page 4-3, Reverse Power Operation.) A series winding (differential) P.T. is utilized for measuring the voltage across the series winding, which is then used, along with the existing control winding or separate control windings, to develop the source-side voltage.
The series winding P.T. will have taps similar to the load side supplies. These high-voltage taps (see Figure 1-15) are located on the series winding P.T. and are marked
P
1
, P
2
, etc. The secondary voltage of the series winding
P.T. is brought directly to the knife switch labeled V
6
, and then passes through RCT
2 for ratio correction
(similar to that performed for V
1
). The differential V
6 voltage, once corrected by RCT
2
, is labeled V
7 and is then routed to the control front panel.
On the front panel, the three potentials (V s
, sensing voltage; V
7
, differential voltage; V m
, motor voltage) are all brought directly to the power switch. Without a source side supply, the V
7 terminal is connected to the V s terminal on the control back panel, and the control software then recognizes that the V
7 voltage is not present.)
The power switch has three positions: internal, off, and external. The internal position powers the control and motor from the regulator sensing winding, and the external position permits an external supply for the same purpose. When the power switch is in the external position, the internal supply is disconnected to prevent accidentally energizing the high voltage winding and bushings. The external source terminals are prominently located adjacent to the voltmeter test terminals.
The voltmeter terminals allow the monitoring of the voltage that is applied to the circuit board. This is the voltage output from RCT
1 and the voltage displayed at
Function Code 47. During forward power flow, the voltage at these terminals is the output voltage. During reverse power flow the voltage at these terminals is the source voltage.
The three voltage circuits are routed from the power switch to the respective 6 A motor fuse, 2 A panel fuse, and 2 A differential voltage fuse. The differential voltage fuse is provided to protect the front panel if an external source P.T. is used. From the 6 A fuse, the motor potential provides power to the auto/manual selector switch, the drag hand reset solenoid, the neutral light, and the holding switch (alternate motor source) circuits.
The sensing voltage and differential voltage are connected directly to their respective circuit board input terminals.

* P taps are used with E taps only on regulators where an internal potential transformer is used in conjunction with the control winding to provide voltage supplies to the control. See nameplate for verification of this type of control supply.
** Test terminal voltage and overall potential ratio may vary slightly from one regulator to another. See the regulator nameplate for determining the exact values.

Calculation of Overall P.T. Ratio
If the system voltage is other than those listed on the nameplate, it can be determined whether there is sufficient ratio correction available from the control winding (internal P.T.) taps and the Ratio Correction
Transformer (RCT) taps to allow the CL-5 Series control and motor to function properly. The general guideline is that the overall P.T. ratio is sufficient if the voltage delivered to the control for the nominal voltage conditions is in the range of 115-125 V.
To determine the voltage delivered to the control, use the following procedure:
1. Of the P.T. ratios shown on the nameplate choose the one which provides a voltage closest to 120V at the output of the internal P.T. (The output of the internal P.T. is the input to the RCT).
2. Calculate the voltage at the output of the internal
P.T., and compare that to the RCT input taps of
133, 127, 120, 115, 110 and 104.
3. Choose the RCT tap closest to the RCT input voltage.
4. Given the RCT input tap use Table 1-12 to determine the RCT ratio.
5. Use the formula below to calculate the control input voltage.
6. Use the formula below to calculate the overall
P.T. Ratio.
Control Input V = Internal P.T. Output V (RCT Ratio)
Overall P.T. Ratio = Internal P.T. Ratio x (RCT Ratio)
EXAMPLE: If a 60Hz, 14400 V regulator is to be used on a system with a nominal voltage of 12700, the following is determined:
1. 12700V / 120V=105.8. Choose 120:1 Control
Winding Tap
2. Internal P.T. output voltage = 12700V / 120=105.8V
3. Best RCT input tap is 104
4. RCT ratio is 0.867
5. Control input V = 105.8/0.876 = 122V. This is within allowable range.
6. Overall P.T. ratio = 120 x .867 = 104:1

Changing System Voltage
WARNING: Remove regulator from service before performing internal lead connection changes.
To utilize a regulator at a system voltage other than the nominal voltage designated on the nameplate,
1. If required, change control winding tap (E1-E3) on the terminal strip (accessible through the handhole,) to the value indicated on the nameplate.
2. If the regulator contains an internal differential
P.T., and if a change to the P.T. settings is required, make the changes on the P.T. (through the handhole.)
3. Move the Control Function switch to OFF.
4. Move the Power switch to OFF.
5. Remove the 6 amp motor fuse.
6. Open the V
1
(and V
6 if present) knife switches, on the control back panel.
7. If required, change the Ratio Correction
Transformer tap (on the control back panel) to the value indicated on the nameplate.
8. Close The V
1
( and V
6 if present) knife switches, on the control back panel.
9. Replace the 6 amp motor fuse.
10. Move the Power switch to External or Internal, depending on how regulator control is energized.
11. Change Function Code 44 to the new overall P.T.
Ratio.
12. Change Function Code 43 to new system voltage.
13. Move the Control Function switch to AUTO/
REMOTE.
Current Circuit
All VR-32 regulators are designed with an internal current transformer to provide a current source for the line drop compensation calculations and for metering functions. Table 1-9, page 1-17 provides the application information for the various C.T.s used on the McGraw-
Edison regulators. These C.T.s provide 200 mA output for the rated C.T. primary current.
The current developed by the C.T. is brought to the terminal board inside the junction box, through the control cable, into the enclosure, terminating at the knife switch labeled C. Closing the knife switch provides a
visible means of shorting the C.T., thus allowing the operator to work safely on the current circuitry. (For additional safety measures, the V
1 and V
6 knife switches should also be opened.) For all regulators with quick disconnect, connector (Figure 1-9), an automatic solidstate C.T. shorting device is located in the junction box.
This solid-state device automatically will short the C.T.
when the cable is disconnected.
Figure 1-16.
Internal bushing mounted current transformer
At this knife switch, one side of the C.T. is connected to the equipment ground, and is also routed to the front panel for termination on the circuit board. The “high” side of the current circuit is brought to the top terminal board through two removable jumpers and then to the front panel for connection to the circuit board. Once this current signal is delivered to the circuit board, it is transformed into a voltage signal and converted into a digital format for processing.
Motor Circuit
The motor circuit power is brought from the 6 A fuse to the circuit board through a set of back-to-back diodes to the control (auto/manual) switch. When this switch is set for automatic operation, motor power is applied to the relays. An appropriate relay closure then applies this power to the tap changer motor, after first passing through the limit switch contacts in the position indicator. When the switch is set for manual operation, the power is transferred to the momentary toggle switch labeled raise-lower. By actuating this switch in one direction or the other, power is applied through the limit switch contacts, directly to the tap changer motor, completely bypassing the circuit board.
1-22
McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control
Also included as a part of the motor circuit is an alternate feed to the motor called the holding switch circuit. Located on the tap changer is a switch or switches, which operate off of the tap changing mechanism. Motor rotation causes switch closure (one direction or the other) and establishes a complete circuit for motor current until the rotation is complete and the cam drops out. During the time the holding switch is closed, motor current is drawn through an input on the circuit board which permits the control to detect that a tap change is in process. The microprocessor uses this information in its decision making process, as described under Control Operating Modes, page 2-8.
Two other unassociated circuits which share the 6 A motor source are the drag hand reset and neutral light circuits. The drag hand reset function is accomplished simply by operating a momentary toggle switch which applies power to the reset solenoid in the position indicator. The neutral light is energized from a neutral light switch (located on the tap changer) when in the neutral tap position.

Control Basics
Introduction
The CL-5 Series Control
The McGraw-Edison CL-5 series control is a full-featured control which incorporates digital logic and microprocessor technology. A keypad is used to simplify the setup of the basic control and its many built-in accessory features. An LCD (liquid crystal display) screen displays the control settings, accessory settings, metering values and annunciator words.
Standard features of the control are:
• Line Drop Compensation
• Voltage Limiting
• Voltage Reduction (Local and Remote)
• Reverse Power Flow Operation
• Metering
• Data Port
• CE Mark Compliant
Advanced features of the control are:
• Source Voltage Calculation (CL-5C and later only)
• Calendar/Clock
• Time-Tagged Min/Max Demand Metering
• Metering Profile Recorder
• Total Harmonic Distortion and odd harmonic voltages and currents up to the 13th
• Tap Position Indication
• Pulse Voltage Reduction Mode
• Security Override
• Supervisory On/Off Switch
• Resident Communications Protocol (DATA 2179)
• Tap to Neutral*
• Enhanced Operation Counter*
• SOFT ADD-AMP Limits*
* CL-5E only
The demand metering values and control settings are stored in EEPROM memory to prevent their loss during a power outage. Information stored in the EEPROM will be retained indefinitely, with or without power applied.
To fully capitalize on the microprocessor capabilities, a
12-bit analog-to-digital converter is used in the front end of the design to convert the analog voltage and current waveforms into digital signals. A digital signal processing

This permits extremely accurate resolution of both the voltage and current input signals. It is this technique which enables the control to do harmonic analysis (to the 13th harmonic frequency), as well as measurements for metering and control.
All control setting values, instantaneous and demand metering values, tap position values and diagnostic values can be displayed on the LCD screen. (Some reverse power flow operation modes and metering require source side voltage, from either an optional differential potential transformer or the source voltage calculator in the control [CL5C and later.])
The entire control data base (all Function Codes) may be copied through the control Data Port to an optional
McGraw-Edison Data Reader for transfer to a personal computer, or be copied directly to a personal computer.
The control can communicate digitally with a SCADA system.

Front Panel Components
Lower Section - Grey
The lower section of the control contains components which are similar to the other controls in the McGraw-
Edison CL series.
Power Switch
In the external position, the control and tap changer motor are powered from an external 120 V ac source connected to the external source terminals. In the internal position, the control and motor get power from the regulator. In the off position, no power is delivered to either the control or the motor.
External Power Terminals
Providing 120 V ac to these terminals powers the control and tap changer motor. See page 1-3 for cautionary note. Controls wired for an external source of 220-240 V ac have a “240” decal at the terminals.
Control Switch
In the auto/remote position, the tap changer motor can be controlled by either the front panel (auto) or remotely by SCADA. In the off and manual positions, automatic operation and analog-type remote motor control are inhibited. In the manual position, automatic operation and analog-type remote motor control are inhibited and the tap changer may be raised or lowered locally by momentarily depressing the raise/lower switch.
Manual (Raise/Lower) Switch
This switch allows the operator to manually raise or lower the tap changer motor.
Supervisory Switch
This switch is used for digital communications only.
When in the on position, SCADA has full capabilities.
When in the off position, SCADA may only read the control database. See DIGITAL SCADA, page 4-11.
Draghand Reset Switch
This switch operates a solenoid in the Position Indicator to move the draghands to the present position of the main hand.
Neutral Light
This is the primary indication that the tap changer is in the neutral position. See Determining Neutral Position, page 1-11.
Figure 2-2.
Keypad
Voltmeter Terminals
These allow the connection of a voltmeter so that the potential sensed by the control (between the load (L) bushing and SL bushing of the regulator) can be measured.
Fuses
The motor fuse is a 6.25 A slow-blow fuse. The 2 A panel fuse protects the control panel circuit. The 2 A differential voltage fuse protects the circuit from miswiring of an external PT.
Data Port
This was first introduced on the CL-4 control. It allows the temporary connection of a McGraw-Edison Data
Reader or personal computer. See Data Retrieval and
Settings Uploading, page 4-12.
Upper Section - Black
The man-machine interface chosen for the CL-5 Series control is a 16-key touchpad and a liquid crystal display
(LCD).
The keypad, with a layout similar to a touch-tone telephone, has a snap-action response. (See Figure 2-2.)
The special, low-temperature LCD was chosen to be easily visible in direct sunlight. (See Figure 2-3 for a diagram of the LCD with all of the segments on.)

Control Operation
In the automatic mode of operation, the power switch will be set on internal, and the control switch will be placed on auto. The regulator is assumed energized from the primary circuit. If the sequential mode of operation is selected (the standard mode), the control response is as follows:
1. As the primary voltage moves to a level which represents an out-of-band condition, the sensing voltage will correspondingly reflect the same results on the 120 V base. Assuming the voltage dropped low, a lower than nominal signal will appear at the printed circuit board input, terminals P
5
-4 to P
5
-3.
2. The signal is transformed and converted into a digital format for use by the microprocessor.
3. The microprocessor, recognizing the voltage condition as low and out-of-band, issues an output which activates the LOW band indicator in the display, and starts an internal timer which is equivalent to the time delay setting.
4. During the time-out period, the voltage is continually sensed and sampled. Should the voltage momentarily move into band, the low band indicator is deactivated and the timer is reset.
5. At the end of the time delay period, the microprocessor issues an output which causes the
RAISE relay coil to be energized.
6. The tap changer motor begins to turn as a result of the relay closure, and a cam on the tap changer closes the RAISE holding switch. This now provides an alternate source for the motor current, which passes through the input terminals P
4
-9 and
P
4
-11 on the circuit board.
7. The microprocessor now recognizes that current is flowing in the holding switch circuit; the operations counter and tap position indication are incremented, and the RAISE relay is de-energized, thus opening its contacts.
8. As a result of the relay contacts opening, the motor current is now carried solely by the holding switch circuit. When the motor rotation is complete, the holding switch opens as a result of the cam action, and the motor stops.
9. The microprocessor recognizes that the tap change is now complete by detecting that motor current is no longer flowing through input terminals
P
4
-9 and P
4
-11. A 2-second pause then occurs, allowing the sensing voltage to stabilize from the motor operation.
10. At the end of this pause, if the voltage is still out-of-band, another output is issued to close the RAISE relay, thus starting another tap change sequence (step 6). If the voltage is in-band, the
LOW band indicator is turned off, and the time delay timer is reset. At all times, the microprocessor is sampling the sensing voltage for a change of conditions.
This sequence is altered slightly if the voltage averaging or time integrating mode of operation is selected. These characteristics are described in Control Operating
Modes, starting on page 2-8.
Manual Operation
In the manual mode of operation, the power switch can be set on either internal or external and the control switch will be placed on manual. If the external position is chosen, an external source must be applied through the terminals on the front panel. This should be a nominal 120 V ac source (or other ac voltage as indicated by a decal) and should not be a direct current
(dc) to alternating current (ac) inverter.
Operation of the momentary toggle raise-lower switch applies power through the position indicator limit switch contacts directly to the tap changer motor. As the tap changer motor cam rotates, the holding switch is closed, as described in the preceding section, step 6. This holding switch current is sensed by the circuit board, and the operations counter and tap position indicator are appropriately incremented (Function Code 0).
Tap changes will continue to occur as long as the raiselower switch is closed and the ADD-AMP limit switch is not opened.
System Protection
All control inputs (15) are protected with metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and capacitors to prevent damage from line surges and high-frequency transients. This protection concept has proven very effective in the surge tests conducted by Cooper Power Systems. Provisions
2-4
S225-10-10 have also been made in the design to further enhance the control operation under adverse conditions. Orderly operation is ensured by MERTOS4, an operating system developed by Cooper Power Systems for microprocessor-based systems. There are four error detection firmware activities, overseen by MERTOS4, which are an inherent part of the normal operation:
1. The microprocessor architecture includes a COP
(Computer Operating Properly) watchdog system to protect against firmware failures. A watchdog reset sequence is executed on a periodic basis so that the watchdog timer is never allowed to time out. Should the firmware malfunction, the reset sequence will not be generated, and the
COP will time out, causing the system to enter a diagnostic routine.
2. MERTOS4 continually polls the various firmware tasks to ensure that they are performing correctly.
If an abnormality is encountered, MERTOS4 will cause the system to enter a diagnostic routine.
3. Throughout the unused memory space, commands are embedded which generate a system reset if executed. Should an event occur which causes the processor to run errantly into unused memory space, the system will immediately be directed to a diagnostic routine.
4. Settings programmed into the control are stored in non-volatile memory in triplicate. A voting scheme is used as each parameter is accessed.
If one of the three values does not match, the
“different” value will be corrected to agree with the other two. This will also be counted as an
EEPROM correction and the “Number of EEPROM
Corrections” (Function Code 93) will be increased by 1.
If all three values are different, a “default” value
(one that is chosen as a representative value programmed into ROM), will be used for that particular parameter. If a setting parameter defaults, the “Number of Defaults” (Function
Code 90) will be increased by 1. Additionally, when interrogated, the parameter(s) that defaulted will display a “d” preceding the value to indicate it is a default. The control will continue to operate using the default value(s).
Three parameters cannot default to a predetermined value because no logical choice is possible. The three parameters, regulator configuration (Function Code 41), system line voltage (Function Code 43), and overall P.T.
ratio (Function Code 44) will revert to an invalid status and will display dashes preceded by a “d”. Anything dependent upon these values will cease to function, and
Function 95 will display a “6” to represent invalid critical parameters.
Diagnostics
There are three events which force the control into the self-diagnostic routines: 1) The power is first turned on; 2) operator entry of the self-test mode (Function
Code 91); or 3) MERTOS4 detects a firmware problem.
Once the diagnostic routines are entered, the first action taken by the control is to light all segments of the LCD display for approximately six seconds. This provides the operator an opportunity to observe the display for defective segments. Activities are performed as follows:
1. Non-volatile memory is checked to ensure all locations can be written to and erased;
2. The frequency detection circuitry is checked to verify a signal frequency between 45 and 65 Hz is being sampled;
3. The interrupt line to the processor is checked to verify that it is functional;
4. The multiplexor and analog-to-digital converter are checked to verify operation;
5. Critical parameters are checked to ensure validity;
6. The input/differential voltage channel is checked for the presence of a signal;
7. The output voltage channel is checked for the presence of a signal.
The duration of this test sequence is approximately three seconds. At completion, the display will indicate PASS or
FAIL, depending upon the test results. The PASS message will remain in the display until the operator makes an entry through the keypad, or 30 minutes if no keypad entry is made. After 30 minutes, the display will automatically be turned off. The PASS message will be preceded by dashes (----) if the internal calendar/clock requires resetting. If, after 30 minutes, no keys have been pressed, the display will be formatted showing four dashes (----) only if the calendar/clock requires resetting.
The clock will maintain timekeeping for 24 hours after loss of ac power to control. The backup power source requires 65 hours operation on ac power to become fully charged.
“Soft” failures are those listed under Function Code 95,
System Status Code. Keypad entry is allowed, but automatic operation is inhibited for the following System
Status Codes: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. Automatic operation is resumed as soon as the problem condition is removed. If status code is 10, see tap position indication, page 4-3.
For a “hard” failure, such as a RAM malfunction, the control will not operate. For hard failures the FAIL message remains in the display for approximately 15 minutes, then the diagnostic routines are executed again. The control will attempt to overcome the problem

NOTE: The word ERROR on the LCD indicates a key entry error, not a diagnostic failure. See Table 9-2, page 9-2 for a listing of the error codes.
Security System
The security (password) system implemented on the control is structured into four (4) levels. This permits selective access to the various parameters as dictated by the active security level. Most Function Codes may be read (accessed) at level 0, the base (unsecured) level. The security level required to change or reset each parameter is listed in Table 3-1, page 3-1. The security access codes for levels 1, 2 and 3 have been programmed into the control at the factory. These codes may be changed by the user according to Table 2-2.
Access into the system is accomplished by entering the appropriate security code at Function Code 99.
The user has the option of overriding (inhibiting) one or more levels of security by choosing the appropriate
Security Override Code at Function Code 92. Choices at Function 92 are 0 = standard security mode (no override); 1 = override level 1; 2 = override levels 2 and 1, and 3 = override levels 3, 2 and 1.
The values of the three security codes, Function Codes
96, 97 and 98, may be read only at level 3. If the level 3 code has been changed and forgotten, it may be retrieved with the McGraw-Edison Data Reader or with a personal computer using the Cooper Control
Interface (CCI) CL-4/CL-5 Interface program.
Working with the Control
Function Codes
All of the parameters of the control — settings, metering values, etc., have been assigned a number. This number is called the Function Code of the parameter. To read the value of a parameter — that is, to display the parameter on the LCD — the operator accesses the appropriate Function Code. The value appears on the
LCD, right-justified, with decimal point shown as necessary. See Table 3-1, page 3-1 for a list of the
Function Codes grouped by subject.
Accessing Function Codes
All parameters, except for the Profiler data, can be read at the LCD by accessing its Function Code by one of the following methods:
One-touch Method
Access Function Codes 0-9 directly by pressing keys
0-9. The parameter printed on these keys is the same as the Function Code number. EXAMPLE: Function
Code 1 = Set Voltage. Via the one-touch method, the operator may quickly read the Operations Counter (0), the five basic control settings (1-5), and the four most important instantaneous metering values (6-9).
Scroll Method
Use the scrolls keys — the upward- and downwardpointing arrows — to scroll up or down through the
Functions Codes. In addition to the main Function
Codes, there are Function Code Extensions. For
2-6

LCD Annunciator
The left third of the LCD is the Annunciator field. The operator is advised of the present status of operations by words which appear in this field. While Function Codes and their values are dropped from the LCD 30 minutes after the last keypad activity, the annunciator field is always active.
On the band indicator line, LOW or HIGH indicate an out-of-band condition. (See Control Operating Modes, page 2-8 for details.) On the voltage limiter line LOW or
HIGH indicate that the voltage limiter is operating. (See page 4-8.) On the accessory active line V. RED.
indicates that voltage reduction is active. (See page
4-9.) Also on that line, REV. PWR. indicates that the regulator is currently experiencing a reverse power condition, except when Function Code 56 is set to zero,
Locked Forward. (See Reverse Power Flow Operation, page 4-3)
To display all of the segments of the LCD; if the control is off, turn on; or if the control is on, access Self Test,

Basic Control Operations
Set Voltage
The set voltage is the voltage level to which the control will regulate, on the 120 V base. Since the control performs ratio correction in software, this value will normally be set for 120.0 V unless it is desired to operate at a voltage level higher or lower than nominal.
For proper operation, the ratio correcting transformer located on the control back panel must also be set for the correct tap as shown by the regulator nameplate.
Bandwidth
The bandwidth is defined as that total voltage range, around the voltage setting, which the control will consider as a satisfied condition. As an example, a 2 V bandwidth on a 120 V setting means the operational timer will not activate until the voltage is below 119 V or above 121 V. When the voltage is in-band, the band edge indicators are off, and the timer (time delay) is off, so no relay closure can occur. Selection of a small bandwidth will cause more tap changes to occur, but will provide a more “tightly” regulated line. Conversely, a larger bandwidth results in fewer tap changes, but at the expense of better regulation. Selection of the bandwidth and time delay settings should be made recognizing the interdependence of these two parameters.
Time Delay
The time delay is the period of time (in seconds) that the control waits, from the time when the voltage first goes out-of-band, to the time when relay closure occurs. If a rapid response is required, a smaller setting should be used. If several devices on the same line are to be coordinated (cascaded), different time delay settings will be required to allow the proper devices to operate in the desired sequence. Proceeding from the source, each device should have a longer time delay than the preceding device. We recommend a minimum 15 second difference between regulators located on the same phase on the same feeder. The delay allows the upstream device to perform its operations prior to the downstream device reacting. The time delay setting of a voltageminimizing activated capacitor control should be set the same as a regulator control. Alternate time delays are available with the voltage limiting feature, page 4-8.
Line Compensation, Resistance and
Reactance Settings
Quite often regulators are installed some distance from the theoretical load center (the location at which the voltage is to be regulated). This means the load will not be served at the desired voltage level due to the losses
(voltage drop) on the line between the regulator and the load. Furthermore, as the load increases, line losses also increase, causing the lowest voltage condition to occur during the time of heaviest loading.
To provide the regulator with the capability to regulate at a “projected” load center, manufacturers incorporate line drop compensation elements in the controls. This circuitry usually consists of a current source (C.T.) which
2-7
McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control produces a current proportional to the load current, and resistive (R) and reactive (X) elements through which this current flows. As the load increases, the resulting
C.T. current flowing through these elements produces voltage drops which simulate the voltage drops on the primary line.
For the control, the input current is sampled and is used in a computer algorithm which calculates the respective resistive and reactive voltage drops based upon the line drop compensation values, programmed into the control at Function Codes 4 and 5 (or Function Codes 54 and
55 for reverse power flow conditions). This is by far a more accurate and economical means of developing the compensated voltage.
To select the proper R and X values, the user must know several factors about the line being regulated.
See reference document R225-10-1 for assistance in this determination.
Regulator Configuration
The control is designed to operate on wye (star) connected and delta-connected regulators. Regulators connected line-to-ground (wye) develop potentials and currents suitable for direct implementation in the control.
Regulators connected line-to-line (delta) develop a potential-to-current phase shift which is dependent upon whether the regulator is defined as leading or lagging.
The phase shift must be known by the control to permit accurate calculations for correct operation. This is accomplished by entering the proper code: 0 = Wye, 1 =
Delta Lagging, 2 = Delta Leading.
See page 1-7 for an explanation of how to determine whether the regulator is leading or lagging.
Control Operating Modes
Cooper Power Systems is the only manufacturer that offers a selection of three modes in which the control responds to out-of-band conditions. This permits the user to select the mode that best fits the application.
These modes and their corresponding codes are:
0 = Sequential, 1 = Time Integrating, 2 = Voltage
Averaging.
Sequential
This is the standard mode of response, incorporated on all McGraw-Edison CL-5 Series regulator controls.
When the load voltage goes out-of-band, the time delay circuit is activated. At the end of the time-out, a tap change is initiated. After each tap change, a 2-second pause occurs to permit the control to sample the voltage again. This sequence continues until the voltage is brought into band, at which time the timing circuit is reset. Any time the voltage goes in-band, the timer is reset.
Time Integrating
When the load voltage goes out-of-band, the time delay circuit is activated. At the end of the time-out, a tap change is initiated. After each tap change, a 2-second pause occurs to permit the control to sample the voltage again. If the voltage is still out-of-band, another tap change is performed. This sequence continues until the voltage is brought into band. When the voltage goes inband, the timer is decremented at the rate of 1.1
seconds for every second elapsed, until it reaches zero.
Voltage Averaging
When the load voltage goes out-of-band, the time delay circuit is activated. During this time delay period, the microprocessor monitors and averages the instantaneous load voltage. It then computes the number of tap changes required to bring the average voltage back to the set voltage level. When the time delay period is complete, the computed number of tap changes are performed without any delay between them, up to a maximum of 5 consecutive tap changes, to avoid an accumulative error. The timer is not reset on voltage excursions in-band unless the voltage stays in-band for at least 10 continuous seconds. An error-averaging characteristic is inherent with the voltage averaging mode.
NOTE: To permit sufficient time for the microprocessor to average the voltage, the time delay period must be 30 seconds or longer. If the time delay is set for less than
30 seconds, the control ignores the setting and uses 30 seconds.
System Line Voltage
The control performs ratio correction in software, and, consequently, the primary voltage must be entered for the control to perform this calculation. This value is simply the nominal single phase voltage supplied across the L and SL terminals. Regulators shipped from the factory are set for the voltage indicated by the pin on the nameplate, and this value is programmed into the control. If the regulator is installed on any other system voltage, this system voltage must be entered for proper operation. See page 1-19, Voltage Circuits, for other changes required.
Potential Transformer Ratio
Since the control performs ratio correction in software, the P.T. ratio for the voltage sensing supply must be entered for the control to perform this calculation. The ratio to be programmed in the control is the OVERALL
P.T. RATIO, as shown on the regulator nameplate for every applicable system voltage for the particular regulator. The P.T. ratio which corresponds to the regulator rated voltage is set by the factory. If the
2-8
S225-10-10 regulator is installed on any other system voltage, the corresponding P.T. ratio must also be entered for proper operation. This value includes the correction performed by the ratio correcting transformer (RCT) on the control back panel. The voltage from the RCT is normally corrected to 120 V. However, in the instance in which this voltage is other than 120 V, the control will define the particular input voltage as the 120 V base voltage, and 120 V will be displayed at Function Code 6. The voltage test terminals will continue to show the voltage as applied to the control from the RCT.
Current Transformer Primary Rating
The control is designed for 200 mA (full scale) as the rated C.T. current, and will meter to 400 mA (200% load) with no loss of accuracy. Ratio correction is performed by the software, and consequently, the C.T. primary rating must be entered. The C.T. primary rating is available on the regulator nameplate. EXAMPLE: If a
C.T. ratio of 400/0.2 is indicated on the nameplate, then
400 must be entered at Function Code 45. (See Table 1-
9, page 1-17 for standard ratings.)
Delta-connected (Line-to-lineconnected) Regulators
When a regulator is connected line-to-line, the phase angle of the line current is 30° displaced from the voltage impressed across the regulator. By setting the
Regulator Configuration, FC 41, correctly, the correct relationship between the voltage and current is established. (See page 1-7.) By setting the Regulator
Configuration to the incorrect delta value (lagging instead of leading, or vice versa), the phase angle will be in error 60°. Below are considerations concerning delta-connected regulators:
1. The basic decision-making of the control when line drop compensation is not used is not affected by the phase angle, therefore operation will be correct even if FC 41 is set to either of the two incorrect values. This is true for forward and reverse operation.
2. If line drop compensation is used, the scaling of the R and X values and the positive/negative sign of these values is controlled by FC 41, therefore, it is important to correctly set FC 41.
3. The following metering parameters will be correct only if the Regulator Configuration is correctly set: power factor, kVA, kW, kvar, demand kVA, demand kW and demand kvar.
4. Note that the kVA, kW, kvar, demand kVA, demand kW and demand kvar use the line-to-line voltage, therefore they display the value at the regulator, not on one feeder. To determine the total three-phase value of any one of these parameters, each regulator value must be divided by 1.732 before adding the three together.

• The control is designed to operate on wye-connected or delta-connected three-phase systems.
• Regulators connected line-to-ground (wye or star) develop potentials and currents suitable for direct implementation in the control.
• Regulators connected line-to-line (delta) develop a potential-to-current phase shift which is dependent upon whether the regulator is defined as leading or lagging. This phase shift must be known by the control to permit accurate calculations for correct operation. This is accomplished by entering the proper code: 0 = Wye (or Star); 1 = Delta Lagging; or 2 = Delta Leading.
• See Reference Bulletin R225-10-1 for a discussion of delta connections. See page 1-7 for use of the control to determine whether the regulator is leading or lagging.

The overall P.T. ratio is available on the regulator nameplate, and is summarized in Tables 1-10 and 1-11 on page 1-20 and 1-21 for most regulator ratings. EXAMPLE: A 13800 V regulator, installed on a 7970 V system, would have 7970 entered at Function Code 43, and 63.7 entered at Function Code 44. The control will then define the 125.1 V (output from the back panel ratio correction transformer) as the 120-base voltage, and 120 V is displayed at Function Code 6.

• Cooper Power Systems has developed advanced controls for various products utilizing common protocol communications.
• Each control on the system can be uniquely addressed by the SCADA RTU or other communications device.
• The control SCADA address is entered at Function 64 with a factory preset address of 5.
• For protocol DATA-2179, the device addresses and responses are as follows:
0-2046 = Unique device address range. Controls with addresses in this range uniquely respond when the particular address is sent.
2047 = Broadcast address. All controls on the system listen and change as commanded, with no response if a message is sent to address 2047.

• The transmit/receive handshaking mode allows adaptability to different types of communication system interfaces with the CL-5C control. When using mode 2, the handshake out signal is used as the transmit enable. The handshaking input signal is ignored.
• The available modes are:
0 = No handshaking. This mode is used for direct communication between the control and a personal computer. It may also be used with an RTU for point-to-point communications.
1 = Not applicable. For C.P.S. use only.
2 = Handshaking is active. This mode is used where a transmit enable signal (push-to-talk) is required as part of the handshaking. Transmit enable is also required when the control is connected in a fiber-optic ring.

• Defines the period of time the receive must idle to assume the start of a request message. Dead-line sync is used to determine the start of the request message. When used on a ring-configured or broadcast communication system, the control “hears” messages for devices at other nodes on the received data line. By reading the address, the control determines if the message is intended for it and ignores the remaining bytes if it is not. A period of time during which the received data line is inactive, defines the end of the previous message. This inactive time is the dead-line sync period. The control is now synchronized so that the next byte received is considered the beginning of a new message.The value programmed is the equivalent number of characters that the receive line must remain inactive, to be considered the end of a message. The control determines the actual time delay internally, taking into account baud rate and the number of bits in the character.
For example: Baud = 4800; Dead-line sync character = 5 characters
Dead time = 5 characters x 10 bits/character* = 50 bits
50 bits @ 4800 bits/second = 10.4 mS dead-line sync time
*10 bits/character applies to protocol 2179, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit.

— Regulation Blocking Status — 0 2 NA NA 0 1
•The control with communications options allows the user to completely control the regulator through the SCADA system. The
SCADA system may place the regulator in a “blocked” state, thus inhibiting any further tap changer operation initiated by the control. A practical example might be to perform a certain amount of voltage reduction, and then disable the tap changer (inhibit additional operations) for an indefinite time period.
• Statuses are as follows:
0 = Normal (normal automatic operation)
1 = Blocked (automatic operation is inhibited)
• The operator may change the state of this code by entering the level 2 security at the control and pressing the
CHANGE/RESET key. If SCADA has the control blocked, the operator may override the SCADA system by changing
Function Code 69 from 1 to 0, or if the operator chooses to block automatic operation, Function Code 69 can be changed from 0 to 1.

Control Advanced Features
Differential Voltage
Unless specifically ordered, or required as a part of the specified operation, most regulator designs will be without the internal source-load differential P.T. Units with the CL-5C or newer controls have source voltage calculation available (FC 39). Without a source voltage input, several functions cannot be obtained, and will indicate dashes when displayed (see Table 4-1). Also,
Function Code 95 will display a “7” to indicate no input voltage.

All Reverse Metered Demand Values
If the parameters listed in Table 4-1 are desired and the regulator is not able to determine the source voltage, an external source side potential transformer may be connected to the control. (See Reverse Power
Operation, page 4-3.)
Calendar/Clock
Integral to several functions of the control is an internal calendar/clock. The digital clock maintains the year, month, day, hour, minute and seconds, and has resolution of 1 second. Hours are in 24-hour (military) time, that is, 3:15 p.m. is shown as 15:15. The clock does not adjust for Daylight Savings Time. It is powered by ac (60 or 50 Hz) and operates under normal power when the control is powered up. When ac power is off, the clock uses a crystal as a reference and a capacitor as the power source. The back-up power will sustain the clock for a minimum of 24 hours. Sixty-five hours on ac power are required to fully charge the capacitor.
Upon powering up the control, if the clock is invalid due to lack of power, four (4) dashes will appear in the display to the left of the word PASS. In this situation the clock will restart at 1/1/90 00:00:00. Until the clock is reset, four dashes will appear on the right of the display whenever the display would normally be blank.
Metering
The control has extensive metering capabilities, which we categorize as Instantaneous, Demand and Profile.
Instantaneous Metering
Instantaneous metering values are stored in RAM, and are refreshed once per second. They may be read at
Function Codes 6 through 19. See the detailed description of these parameters starting on page 3-2.
Demand Metering
The control provides demand metering values for six or eight parameters: load voltage, source voltage* (forward and reverse), compensated voltage, load current, kVA load, kW load, and kvar load. For each of these parameters the present “P” value, the maximum “H” value since last reset, and the minimum “L” value since last reset are recorded, as well as the earliest time and date that the maximum and minimum values occurred.
Additionally, the power factor at maximum kVA demand and minimum kVA demand are recorded. All of these values are stored in non-volatile memory separately for forward and reverse power conditions.
Demand values may be read at Function Codes 20 through 37. See the detailed description of these parameters starting on page 3-5, and the discussion concerning metering during reverse power flow, starting on page 4-3.
Demand Task Operation
The demand metering function is based upon a sliding window concept, or moving integral. The algorithm implemented simulates the response of a thermal demand meter which will reach 90% of its final value after one demand interval in response to a step function input. (See Figure 4-1.)

The task works like this:
1. For 3 minutes after a power outage or power reversal, no demands are calculated. This allows the utility system to stabilize from the event which created the outage or power reversal.
2. At 3 minutes, the present demands (for the appropriate power direction) are set to their corresponding instantaneous value, and the integration algorithm begins according to the programmed demand interval at Function
Code 46.
3. At 15 minutes or at the demand time interval
(whichever is longer), the max/min demand values begin to track the present demand, similar to drag hands. All demand values are calculated continuously in the working memory (RAM), and the max/min demands are also stored in the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) every 15 minutes, if a change has occurred. This prevents loss of data during a power interruption or outage.
Notice that the provisions are made to reset any demand value by itself via the change/reset key, or all demands can be reset simultaneously by entering Function Code
38. Maximum (H) and minimum (L) values will be set to their corresponding present (P) demand value and the H and L dates and times will be set to the present date/time. If the present demand is in an invalid state
(dashes), the maximum and minimum values will also become invalid, displaying dashes.
Two conditions can cause the present demands to be invalid: The power has just been applied (within the 3 minute freeze period) or the power flow has changed direction. If the control is metering in the forward direction, the reverse present demands will be invalid; and if metering in the reverse direction, the forward present demands will be invalid.
Profile Recorder
Function Code 85.
The CL-5D control has a Profile Recorder (Profiler) function which records any four (4) metering values every 15 minutes for 30 hours (120 time slots). On the
CL-5E and newer controls, the time interval is variable, from 5-120 minutes. See Function Code 85 description.
To set the Profiler, access security level 1, then enter the parameters of choice at the Function Code extensions 1,
2, 3 and 4. The selectable CL-5D parameters are:
• 6 - Load Voltage, Secondary
• 7 - Source Voltage, Secondary*
• 8 - Compensated Voltage, Secondary
• 9 - Load Current, Primary
• 10 - Load Voltage, Primary
• 11 - Source Voltage, Primary*

• 13 - Power Factor
• 14 - kVA Load
• 15 - kW Load
• 16 - kvar Load
• 17 - Line Frequency
• 18 - Voltage Total Harmonic Distortion
• 19 - Current Total Harmonic Distortion

EXAMPLE: To record the tap position (FC 12) instead of the load current, do the following:
1. Access security level 2.
2. Press FUNCTION, 8, 5, ENTER.
3. The display will read “85 1 9”, or, if the CL-5E or newer control is installed, the display will read, “85
15”.
4. If the control is a CL-5E or newer, scroll up one value.
The control will now read, “85 1 9”.
5. Press CHANGE, 1, 2 ENTER.
The profiler data is stored in working memory (RAM), therefore, if power is lost, all profiler values are lost.
Upon return of power, if the clock is still operating on backup power, the profiler will start at the next time interval. If due to lack of power the clock starts with the default hour: minute values of 00:00, the first values will be recorded at 00:15 or at the first time interval, if the
CL-5E control is in use.
If a parameter at one of the extensions of Function Code
85 is changed, the entire profiler database will be reset,
4-2
S225-10-10 that is, all values for all four parameters will be set to 0.
To reset all profiler values to 0 either turn the power off, or change one of the Function Code 85 extension values.
If the clock is reset, prior values and times in the profiler will be retained, and the newest value will be recorded at the next time interval. It should be noted that the hour and minute are stored on the profiler, not the month and day.
After all 120 time slots are filled, the oldest set of values is deleted when the newest set of values is recorded.
The time-stamped profiler values are not accessible through the keypad and display. To retrieve the values, download the control database through the Data Port with a McGraw-Edison Data Reader or with a PC using
CCI CL-4/CL-5 Interface Program or extract the data through the communications channel.
Tap Position Indication
The control has the ability to track the position of the tap changer. The tap position indication (TPI) function senses the status of the motor and neutral light circuits and does not require source (input) voltage. The present tap position is stored at Function Code 12. EXAMPLES:
“8” at Function Code 12 indicates 8 raise and “-7” indicates 7 lower.
The TPI function is synchronized to the position of the tap changer by running the regulator to the neutral position. When the tap changer cannot be returned to neutral due to the voltage support which is necessary, the value of the present tap position may be changed to the position shown by the position indicator main hand by doing the following: Access security level 3; access
FC 12; use the CHANGE key to change to the desired value.
The maximum tap position since last reset (upper draghand value of the present tap position) and its date and time are stored at Function Code 27. The minimum tap position since last reset (lower draghand value of the present tap position) and its date and time are stored at
Function Code 28. The TPI draghand values and dates/times are reset to the present values by the master reset, Function Code 38, or by resetting each of the values individually. The draghand reset switch resets the draghands of the position indicator only, not TPI.
All TPI values are stored in a non-volatile memory. The present tap position value will go to invalid “----” if the following condition is detected. The present tap position is “O” (neutral) but no neutral signal is detected. This condition will occur if a replacement control with present tap position set to “O” is installed on a regulator which is not in the neutral position. If the TPI function detects a successful upward tap and the prior value of FC 12 was
“16”, or a successful downward tap is detected and the prior value of FC 12 was “–16” the prior value will be maintained. These conditions could occur if the present tap position was manually set incorrectly.
The following relates the action of the diagnostics routine with regard to the Tap Position Indication function only.
See page 2-5 for the list of other reasons which would cause diagnostics to report FAIL.
The display will show FAIL upon power-up under these circumstances: 1) the present tap position value prior to power-up is “---” (invalid) and the regulator is not in neutral position. 2) The present tap position prior to power-up is 0 and the regulator is not in the neutral position. This condition will cause the present tap position value to go to invalid (“----”). 3) During automatic or manual operation the present tap position changes to
0, but a neutral signal is not received. In all of these cases, the value at Function Code 95, Systems Status, is set to “10”, “TPI - NO NEUTRAL SYNC - WARNING”.
The display will show PASS upon power-up under the following circumstances: 1) The present tap position is not 0 and the regulator is not in neutral. 2) The regulator is in neutral.
Reverse Power Operation
Most voltage regulators are installed in circuits with welldefined power flow from source to load. However, some circuits have interconnection or loops in which the direction of power flow through the regulator may change. For optimum utility system performance, a regulator installed on such a circuit should have the capability of detecting reverse power flow, and of sensing and controlling the voltage, regardless of the power flow direction.
The control has full reverse power capabilities, but for fully automatic reverse operation the source voltage or source-to-load differential voltage must be supplied to the control in addition to the load voltage. Regulators may be ordered direct from the factory with an internal
(source-to-load) series winding P.T., or an external source-side P.T. may be installed in the field. In either case, a second Ratio Correcting Transformer (RCT) on the control back panel is required for proper correction of the source voltage if the external source side P.T. has a voltage other than 120V. Regulators with factory installed series winding P.T.s also have the second RCT installed at the factory.
Some field installations may require that a source voltage P.T. be used instead of the series winding P.T.
which is the standard technique used on the McGraw-
Edison voltage regulator. The control is designed such that it can be configured for this application also. This reconfiguration is accomplished by removing the back shield and moving a soldered jumper from one set of terminal posts marked V diff to another set of terminals
4-3
McGraw-Edison VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control marked V in.
The software of the control then recognizes this differential/source voltage as a source voltage, and will function accordingly.
The CL-5C and later generation controls have the ability to calculate the source side voltage without a series winding P.T.. When this feature is turned on, the control will use the load voltage from the main P.T., the regulator type (either straight, also known as ANSI type
A, or inverted, also known as ANSI type B), the tap position and the internal impedance of the regulator to calculate the source side voltage. This source voltage is with ±1.5% of actual. With the source voltage P.T. the accuracy improves to ±1%. Only the regulator type needs to be programmed into the control. The other values are already available to the control.
The control offers seven different response characteristics for reverse power detection and operation. These characteristics are user selectable by programming
Function Code 56. The seven modes, and their corresponding codes are:
0 = Locked Forward, 1 = Locked Reverse
2 = Reverse Idle, 3 = Bi-directional
4 = Neutral Idle, 5 = Co-generation
6 = Reactive Bi-directional
This section will separately explain each mode of operation. Since the control retains the reverse metered demand values separate from the forward metered values, the metering will also be explained for each mode.
In determining power direction, the control senses the real component of the current (except in reactive bidirectional mode), and then determines the current direction and magnitude in that direction. When the conditions indicate the power is flowing in reverse, the following parameters assume new values and the control operation is affected accordingly:
Load Voltage - Now sensed from what was previously the source voltage supply.
Source Voltage - Now sensed from what was previously the load voltage supply.
Load Current - In the forward direction, the current is used directly as measured. In the reverse direction, the current is scaled to reflect the ratio difference between the source and load side of the regulator, according to this formula:
Forward
Load
Reverse Current
Load =
Source
Voltage
Supply
Supply where source voltage supply and load voltage supply are in the reverse direction.
kVA, kW, kvar, and % buck/boost are now calculated based upon the new metered reverse values.
Locked Forward Mode
Function Code 56 = 0. No source voltage is required.
This mode is not intended to be used in applications where reverse power flow is possible.
METERING: Always operates in the forward direction, regardless of power flow direction. If reverse power occurs, the metering functions remain on the normal load side of the regulator—no reverse demand readings will occur.
OPERATION: (Figure 4-2) Always operates in the forward direction. This allows operation down to zero current conditions since there is no forward threshold involved. A safeguard has been built into the control to prevent misoperation in the event reverse power flow does occur. If more than 2% (.004 A C.T. secondary) reverse current occurs, the control idles on the last tap position held, and the band edge indicators will turn off.
As the current flow returns to a level above this reverse threshold, normal forward operation resumes.

Co-generation Mode
Function Code 56 = 5. Source voltage is required.
In recent years, there have been a growing number of voltage regulator applications involving co-generation by the utilities’ customers. The co-generation mode was developed for the McGraw-Edison control to satisfy the specialized needs of these applications. Normally, the desired operation of a regulator installed on a feeder involving co-generation is to regulate the voltage at the customer substation during times of power flow into the customer site, and to regulate the voltage at the regulator (on the same output side) during power flow into the utility grid. This is accomplished by simply not reversing the control sensing input voltage when reverse power is detected, and by altering the line drop compensation settings to account for this change in power flow direction. (See Figure 4-9.)

Co-generation regulation points used when the current exceeds the fixed 1% forward metering threshold. The demand values acquired during reverse power flow are stored as reverse metered data but the values are not scaled (to reflect the other side of the regulator) since the operating direction of the regulator never truly reverses.
OPERATION: (Figure 4-11.) The control always operates in the forward direction. The control will operate in the forward direction, but will use the reverse settings for line drop compensation when the real component of the current is above the fixed 1% reverse metering threshold. The control will continue to use the reverse line drop compensation settings until the real component of the current is above the fixed 1% forward metering threshold. The operational timer (time delay) is not reset on any transitions between the application of forward and reserve line drop compensation settings.

Voltage Limiting
The voltage limiting accessory is used to place both a high and low limit on the output voltage of the regulator.
When enabled, it operates in either the forward or reverse directions, and has the highest priority of all operating functions. Voltage limiting is overridden only by the operator taking local control, or by an interconnected SCADA system. The purpose of the voltage limiter is to protect the consumer from abnormally high or low voltages resulting from:
• Large, rapid changes in transmission voltage
• Abnormal loading of the feeder
• Inaccurate regulator control settings (voltage level, bandwidth, and line drop compensation)
• Heavy loading by the first customer while there is a leading power factor on the feeder
• Light loading at the first customer with heavy loading on the feeder at the same time
The appropriate high and low limits for the output voltage can be programmed into the control at Function Codes
81 and 82, respectively. The accessory is then activated by accessing Function Code 80 and entering the appropriate code for the desired operation: 0 = off; 1 = high-voltage limiting only; 2 = both high and low limiting.
If low-voltage limiting only is desired, Function Code 80 should be set to 2 to enable this limit, and the value programmed into Function Code 81 for the high limit can be set to some extreme number (such as 135) to prevent the high limit from activating.
The control has two response sensitivities. If the output voltage exceeds either the high or low limit by
3 V or more, the control samples the voltage for two seconds and then taps immediately to bring the voltage to the limit value. If the output voltage exceeds either the high or low limit by less than 3 V, the control samples the voltage for 10 seconds then taps to bring the voltage to the limit value. The 10 second delay is used to prevent false responses to transient conditions. The control uses the sequential method of tapping, a two second pause between taps for voltage sampling, when bringing the voltage back to the limit value. HIGH and LOW annunciators in the display indicate when either limit is active.
To avoid potential cycling of the regulator, set the highand low-voltage limits at least two volts above and below the upper and lower bandwidth limits. This will establish a “grey zone” between the high-and low-voltage limits and the upper and lower bandwidth limits. When the output voltage is within this “grey zone,” the control will not perform any tap changes that would take the output voltage closer to the limit. If the voltage is directly on the inner edge of the grey zone, the control will allow one tap change to permit the voltage to enter the grey zone by as much as 0.7 V.

Voltage Reduction
An ideal application for system load management is at the distribution voltage regulator. Voltage reduction capabilities within the regulator control permit it to trigger the regulator to reduce voltage during situations where power demands surpass the available capacity, and where there are extraordinary peak loads. The control offers three modes of voltage reduction: local/digital remote, analog remote, and pulse. All modes operate for forward or reverse power flow conditions.
For the CL-5E control, a tap-to-neutral option has been added to the Voltage Reduction function. This feature may be employed regardless of the voltage reduction mode selected. To activate this feature, it must be enabled via Function Code 70, and 120 V ac must be applied to Terminals 1 and 2 of TB
2
. When tap-to-neutral is enabled, the third voltage reduction level of Analog
Remote (Latching), (Function Code 75), is disabled. If tap-to-neutral is not used, then Function codes 73, 74, and 75 all work as normal. All voltage reduction modes of the control work by calculating an effective set voltage as follows:
Effective Set Voltage = Set Voltage x (1- (percent reduction))
EXAMPLE: If the set voltage = 123 V and voltage reduction of 4.6% is active, the regulator will regulate the compensated voltage to 117.3 V, that is, tap down 5.7 V.
When any mode of voltage reduction is in effect, the
V. RED. annunciator segment is turned on. Voltage reduction occurs after timeout, as established by the time delay, Function Code 3 or 53, and the Control
Operating Mode, Function Code 42. The percent reduction in effect is displayed at Function Code 71.
Local/Digital Remote Mode
Function Code 70 = 1 (or 11 for CL-5E).
Voltage reduction can be performed by selecting the
Local/Digital Remote mode of operation (Function Code
70 = 1), and then entering into Function Code 72 the amount of reduction required as a percentage of the set voltage. To turn voltage reduction off set function Code
70 to 0.
Remote (Latching) and Pulse Mode
The remote latching and pulse mode of voltage reduction will be discussed in Analog SCADA.
Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)
With its tap changer, potential transformer and current transformer, the regulator is a likely candidate for a
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system where the utility needs to have centralized voltage control for peak shaving, energy conservation or other purposes.
For many years regulators have been connected to analog SCADA systems where the regulator is controlled by contact closure and the feedback is via a voltage transducer connected to the voltage sensing circuit of the regulator control. Regulators are still being installed where the link between the regulator control and the remote terminal unit (RTU) is analog.
The control has a number of features which allow it to function well on these types of systems. For details, see
Analog SCADA, following.
With the advent of microprocessor-based controls such as the McGraw-Edison 4 and 5 Series controls, two-way real-time digital communication with the regulator control is now possible. The CL-5C and subsequent controls are specifically designed for this type of system. For details, see Digital SCADA, page 4-11.
The control is also well suited to the user who does not have a SCADA system, but does have a need for detailed information about the bus or feeder loading. See
Data Retrieval and Settings Upload, page 4-12.
Analog SCADA
Built-in Voltage Reduction
This is a continuation of the Voltage Reduction discussion. During voltage reduction the control remains in the Automatic mode. See Figure 4-14 which shows the left-most section of TB
2
, the bottom terminal board on the back panel. For either of the two modes described next, Remote Latching and Pulse, a nominal
125 V ac needs to be supplied to either or both terminals, 1 and 2. If the user supplies dry contacts, the voltage should be obtained from terminal V
9
. V
9 voltage is only available when the control switch is in the auto/remote position. If the user supplies wet contacts, the connections should be as shown in Figure 4-15.
Note that J is connected at the factory to the control ground.

The same terminals and contacts are used for this mode as shown in Figures 4-14 and 4-15, but the contacts are pulsed (momentarily closed) rather than latched closed.
Each closure and waiting period between closures is expected to be at least 0.25 seconds in duration.
The number of steps of pulsed reduction, up to 10, is programmed at Function Code 76. The percent reduction per step is programmed at Function Code 77.
Starting at zero percent reduction, every time the contact 1 is pulsed, one step of reduction is added to the accumulated total. EXAMPLE: If the number of steps is
3, and the percent per step is 1.5%, four successive pulses of contact 1 will cause the following percentages of reduction: 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 0. Pulsing to one step higher

SOFT ADD-AMP
This feature (Function Code 79) allows the user to set the regulator for ADD-AMP locally at the control as well as remotely through SCADA. The SOFT ADD-AMP limits can be overridden by a local operator running the tap changer in manual mode of operation. This is not the case for the “hard” ADD-AMP limit switches on the position indicator face.
Remote Motor Control & Auto Inhibit
Terminal board TB
8
, located below RCT
1 on the control back panel, is supplied for user connections for Auto
Inhibit (blocking) and Motor Control. See Figure 4-16.
When the motor is controlled remotely, it is necessary to inhibit automatic operation. To control Auto Inhibit remotely, remove the jumper between terminals 4 and 5 and connect normally-closed contacts. Latching open those contacts inhibits automatic operation.
To remotely raise or lower the tap changer, the appropriate set of contacts is momentarily closed. An optional SCADA relay (current relay) is recommended if there is any chance that the raise and lower contacts may be closed simultaneously. If user-provided interposing relays are used, such that raise and lower contact closure cannot occur simultaneously, then the
SCADA relay is not required. If the SCADA relay is not used, then the operator should make a permanent connection from TB

Fooler Voltage Scheme
Using this method, the voltage sensed by the control is raised, thereby “fooling” the control into reducing the voltage during its normal automatic operation. This method can be used with all CL-5 Series controls. A VR module, as shown in Figure 4-17, is usually supplied by the Remote Terminal Unit manufacturer. The VR module is usually a tapped auto-transformer with a pulseactivated indexing relay. When connected to the control back panel as shown, the voltage sensed by the control is raised as the module is pulsed to higher taps.
Since this method keeps the control in automatic operation, Auto Inhibiting is not used. An advantage of this method is that it can be applied to many different models of controls from many manufacturers. A disadvantage of this method is that while VR is activated, the measured load voltage is incorrect, as are all other calculated metering values which use the load voltage. To avoid the effects of metering inaccuracy, we recommend that the CL-5 Series Pulse Mode of VR be used.

Communication Protocols
The standard communications protocol used by the CL-
5 Series control is C.P.S. DATA 2179. This protocol is resident in the control, therefore a DATA 2179 protocol conversion board is not required by the CL-5 Series control.
Physical Interface
The Communications Channel #2 physical connections are made to an interface board, which is mounted to the control back panel. The interface board can be factory installed or field installed. The board mounts to predrilled holes in the back panel provided on C.P.S. regulator controls since 1989 for the installation of this or other devices. A communications cable connects the interface board to the CL-5 Series communications port.
For connection to an RTU, where the distance between the control and the RTU is typically long, a fiber-optic interface board is recommended for surge isolation. For installations where the interface board is close-coupled to another device, such as a telephone modem or radio, interface boards other than fiber-optic type will be made available.

Local Operator Security
Through the communications channel, the SCADA master may read the CL-5 Series data points, write to certain data points, or reset certain data points. The technique of writing to a data point is used for performing operations such as changing settings like Set
Voltage or Reverse Power Mode, or inhibiting automatic operation or controlling the tap changer motor, etc.
Following is a discussion of the levels of security used to protect the local operator.
Fiber-optic/RS232 and
Fiber-optic/Modem Interface Boards
2197 interface boards can be ordered either 1) equipped for Fiber-optic/RS232 capabilities or 2) equipped for
Fiber-optic/Modem capabilities. The interface boards are equipped with provisions for a 3.6 volt lithium cell battery for back-up power. To maximize battery life, no battery is supplied with the unit. If a back-up battery is not installed, loss of power to the interface board will inhibit all SCADA activity with the specific control, and with other controls connected in a loop.
Fiber-optic/RS232 interface boards can communicate via SCADA. The fiber-optic option can be used in a loop or star application. The RS232 option can only be used in a star application.
Fiber-optic/modem interface boards can also communicate via SCADA. The modem option can be used in both loop and star applications. The fiber-optic option is meant to be used only to loop controls.
Supervisory Switch
The CL-5 Series controls are equipped with a
Supervisory on/off switch. When this switch is in the on position, SCADA may perform the normal read, write and reset activity. When the switch is in the off position,
SCADA may only read the database. This affords protection to the local operator at the front panel, while allowing the system operator to maintain surveillance.
Control Switch
If the local operator switches the control switch
(auto/remote-off-manual) to either off or manual, the control internal circuitry prohibits SCADA from controlling the tap changer motor. Resets and other writes are allowed.
Active Control Security Level
If the local operator changes the control active security level to level 1 or above, or security override is set to override 1 or higher, this does not inhibit any SCADA activity. To inhibit SCADA writes and resets the local operator should turn the Supervisory switch to off.
NOTE: A local operator wishing to check automatic operation should check to make sure that the Blocking
Status, Function Code 69, is set to normal (0).
NOTE: Changes to any of the communications parameters, Function Codes 60-68 take effect immediately, as compared to the CL-4C which required that the power be turned off, then on, to reset those parameters on the separate protocol communications board.
Data Retrieval and Settings Uploading
The communications #1 channel of the CL-5 Series control is dedicated to the 9-pin D-subminiature connector located on the control front panel, labeled
Data Port. The Data Port is designed to interface with the McGraw-Edison Data Reader, a handheld, batteryoperated data gathering device. See page 7-1 for details on the Data Reader Kit. With the Data Reader the entire control data base may be downloaded for transfer to a personal computer. Analysis of the “reading” from the control, using the Data Reader Program (included in the
Data Reader Kit) allows the user to verify the control settings and analyze the conditions of the feeder as follows:
1) at the moment of the downloading (instantaneous metering), 2) maximum and minimum demand values since last reset (time-tagged demand metering), and
3) the profile of salient parameters (profile recorder).
The Channel #1 baud rate is selectable at 300, 1200,
2400 and 4800 Baud. However, to permit communications with the McGraw-Edison Data Reader, the Channel 1 baud rate is set at the factory to 4800 Baud.
Temporary connection to the Data Port may also be made with an IBM-compatible personal computer. A PCbased program, the CL-5 Interface Program, allows the local operator to 1) download the control data in a similar fashion as the Data Reader, 2) reset all metering and tap position maximum and minimum values, and upload settings which are specific to the control I.D.
number. For CL-4 and CL-5 Series control readings which were obtained with the Data Reader or the
Interface Program, the Interface Program also allows the user to view the data and to print custom reports.

Tap Changer
Tap Changer Operation
Spring- and Direct-drive Tap Changers
Regulators for low-current applications use stored energy spring-drive tap changers, most commonly on ratings 219 A and below. The tap changer for a specific rating is shown on the rating plate. Figures 5-1 (95 kV
BIL and below) and 5-2 (150 kV BIL) illustrate typical spring-drive mechanisms.
Voltage regulators used in medium- and high-current applications employ direct or Quik-drive tap changers.
Direct-drive tap changers are commonly applied above
219 A. The model 770B (Figure 5-3), 660C (Figure 5-4), and T875 (Figure 5-5) are rated 150 kV BIL.
Motor
The motor for the spring-drive and direct-drive tap changer is a capacitor-start, reversing gear-motor suitable for operation at 120 V ac, single-phase, at 50/60
Hz. An integral braking mechanism controls motor coast.
The motor for the Quik-drive tap changers is a capacitorstart, high-torque, reversing, gear-motor rated 120 V ac, single-phase, at 50/60 Hz, with a spring-loaded disc brake mechanism located on the tap changer.
All components are compatible with hot transformer oil and the windings are oil cooled. The motor will carry locked-rotor current for at least 720 hours.
Reversing Switch
The reversing switch function changes the polarity of the tapped winding. When the spring-drive tap changer is in the neutral position, the reversing switch is open. When the direct-drive tap changer is in the neutral position, the reversing movable contact assembly is in contact with the lower reversing stationary contact (V
L
).
The load current on all types is carried by the source bushing, the reactor, slip rings, main movable contacts, neutral stationary contact and the load bushing.
The reversing switch motion on the spring-drive tap changer occurs as the main movable contacts enter or leave the neutral position. A pin in the contact drive sprocket assembly engages a slot in the reversing segment when the main switch is in the neutral position.
The first tap step in either direction rotates the segment and the reversing switch engages the appropriate reversing stationary.
The drive sprocket pin and reversing segment provide a mechanical stop located approximately 320° on either side of neutral. When the pin engages the end of the

5-1
McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 Regulator and CL-5C Control segment, the spring-drive mechanism will be loaded and the segment is locked to prevent any further motion in that direction.
The reversing switch motion on the direct-drive tap changers occurs as the main movable contact goes from neutral to the first raise position. On the Model 770B tap changer, a roller on the back side of the rear roller plate engages a slot in the reversing segment on the reversing insulating arm. On the Model 660C tap changer, a pinion, mounted on the same shaft as the rear roller plate, engages a slot in the reversing segment on the reversing insulating arm. As the rear roller plate rotates, the reversing movable contacts are driven from the VL reversing stationary contact to the VR contact.
Spring-drive Mechanism
Two steel extension springs are arranged in a triangular configuration to provide positive spring-over-center action to move the switch contacts. The mechanism is adjusted for smooth make-and-break contact action.
Direct-drive Mechanism
The 770B and 660C tap changers employ drive mechanisms based upon the same design principle, and many components are interchangeable. The motor turns a geneva pinion three complete revolutions per tap change. The motion of the geneva pinion turns a sixtooth geneva gear, a main drive shaft, and a scroll cam
180° per tap change. Each 180° movement of the scroll cam operates one of two roller plates and moves the corresponding main movable contacts 40°. The combination of geneva gearing and scroll cam characteristics results in a three-step, wipe/transfer/wipe contact action.
Attached to the main (geneva gear) drive shaft is a planetary gear-type mechanical stop which prevents contact motion beyond the maximum raise and lower positions.
Quik-drive Mechanism
The T875 tap changer is also a direct drive type. Once a tap change is initiated a holding switch energizes the motor through a separate circuit until the indexing motion is completed. The indexing occurs very fast. The total elapsed time to complete the action is 250 milliseconds from the time the indexing signal is started by the control. The motor turns a geneva gear pinion through a chain drive. Each full turn of the pinion rotates the geneva gear 20 degrees. The moving contacts are mounted on an insulating board that is rotationally attached to the geneva gear. This direct connection achieves accurate indexing of the contacts.
A friction brake arrests the inertia of the system once the tap change is completed. The brake is disengaged

Contacts
Several connection conditions are satisfied by the variety of contact structures. They are divided into arcing and non-arcing.
The non-arcing contacts consist of front and rear slip rings which serve as the connection point for opposite ends of the reactor windings and one end of the two main movable contacts. All contact surfaces are
Electrical Tough Pitch (ETP) copper and all joints are riveted, bolted, or brazed to maintain a high-conductivity current path. Contact pressure between moving points is maintained by steel leaf springs (in the spring-drive tap changers) or by opposing steel compression springs (in the direct-drive and Quick-drive tap changers). The main movable contact is split to make contact on both surfaces of the slip ring and to resist separation in the event of high-current surges.
There are several types of arcing contacts on a regulator tap changer. They can be divided into two categories, stationary and movable.
1. The main stationary contacts are connected to the series-winding taps. The main movable contacts connect the slip rings to the main stationary contacts.
2. The reversing stationary contacts are connected to opposite ends of the series winding. The reversing movable contacts connect the neutral stationary contacts and load bushing to the reversing stationary contact.
NOTE: The neutral stationary contact in the directdrive tap changer has both arcing and non-arcing contact conditions.
All stationary contact bodies are made of ETP copper.
Copper-tungsten inserts are brazed to the edges of the stationary contacts since those contacts are subject to damage from impact or arcing duty. The main movable contacts are constructed of a copper-tungsten. The movable contacts are split to make connection on both sides of the stationary contacts. This split resists separation in the event of high-current surges.
The tap changer stationary contact body is copper. The reversing movable contacts are the same construction as the main movable contact.
Silver tungsten is used for movable contacts in highcurrent applications.
Contact erosion is a function of many variables such as system parameters voltage, load current, power factor, reactor design and main winding design.
Stationary contacts should be replaced before the arcing inserts erode to the point where there may be burning on the copper. Movable contacts should be replaced when approximately 1/8 inch of smooth surface remains.
Refer to S225-10-2 for complete information and typical erosion patterns for the various stages of contact life.
Spring-drive Operating Sequence
When the spring-drive switch is in the neutral position and the control calls for a tap change, the following events occur:
1. Motor brake releases and motor starts.
2. Motor holding switch closes, assuring that one tap change will be completed.
3. The up-slope of sprocket cam engages a lip of the spool. This lifts the pin in the pin cam and frees it from the hole in the actuator.
4. A projection on the sprocket cam contacts a leg on the pin cam, and both turn.
5. Drive shaft, which is attached to the pin cam, begins to turn the crank arm and the springs begin to extend.
6. Pin comes free from the lip on the spool and a spring pushes it against the surface actuator.
7. Down-slope of sprocket cam returns the spool to the start position.
5-3
McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 Regulator and CL-5C Control
8. Pin drops into the hole in the actuator 180° from the start position.
9. At this point, the crank arm is at top dead-center and the springs are fully loaded. Drive shaft and crank arm, sprocket cam, pin cam and actuator are locked together and connected through the chain to the motor.
10. Motor drives all parts beyond top dead center.
11. Spring unloads, instantaneously pulling pin cam and actuator through 180° at high speed. Pins on the actuator cause the contact drive sprocket to index one tap position.
12. As the contact drive sprocket moves, it imparts motion to the reversing switch segment and main movable contacts. This action closes the reversing movable and reversing stationary contacts and drives the main movable contact onto the adjacent main stationary contact. Also, the neutral light switch opens.
13. Motor continues to turn the sprocket cam until the motor holding switch opens. The gear motor output shaft has completed one revolution.
Should more than one tap change be required, the proceeding sequence will be repeated (except reversing switch portion) until the control is satisfied or the limit switch in the position indicator is reached.
Direct-drive Operating Sequence
When the switch is in neutral and the control calls for a tap change in the raise direction, the following events occur:
1. Motor brake releases and motor starts.
2. Geneva pinion rotates counter-clockwise to engage the geneva gear.
3. Geneva pinion drives the geneva gear, main drive shaft, and scroll cam through 60° and produces initial wipe action at the front main movable contact and reversing movable contacts.
4. Motor holding switch closes, assuring that one tap change will be completed.
5. Geneva pinion completes first revolution and continues to rotate.
6. Geneva pinion drives the geneva gear through 60° and the scroll cam and roller plates transfer the front main movable contacts from the neutral stationary contact N to the stationary contact No. 1.
Simultaneously, the reversing movable contact is transferred from the reversing stationary contact
(VL) to the stationary contact (VR).
7. Neutral light switch opens.
8. Geneva pinion completes second revolution and continues to rotate.
9. Geneva pinion drives the geneva gear, main drive shaft, and scroll cam through 60° and produces final wipe action at the front main movable and reversing movable contacts.
10. Motor holding switch opens.
11. Motor brake engages.
12. Motor stops.
A tap change from No. 1 raise position to neutral will be accomplished as described, except the geneva pinion will rotate clockwise. The reversing movable contact will be transferred from the reversing stationary contact (VR) to the stationary contact (VL).
Quik-drive Operating Sequence
When the tap changer is in the neutral position and the control calls for a tap change the following events occur:
1. The motor is energized and begins to turn.
2. The motor sprocket drives the main sprocket through the chain drive.
3. The geneva pinion on the main sprocket enters the geneva slot and begins to index the geneva.
4. The holding switch closes to insure the tap change will go to completion. The control opens the initial circuit. The motor is energized only through the holding switch.
5. The reversing switch pin on the geneva begins to drive the reversing switch indexing arm.
6. One of the two main interrupting movable contacts slides out of engagement with the neutral stationary contact and interrupts the circuit through that branch.
7. The reversing switch arm rotates, driving the reversing switch contacts to pivot, and bridge the neutral contact to a stationary contact connected to one end of the series winding is thus established.
No arcing occurs across the reversing switch contacts.
8. The main interrupting contacts slides over and onto the number one stationary contact, making a bridging position from contact N to contact 1 through the reactor.
9. The geneva pinion exits the geneva slot. The geneva stops moving and is rotationally locked.
10. The holding switch opens and de-energizes the motor.
5-4
11. The brake engages a disk in the main sprocket and brings it to a stop at mid travel.
12. The motor shaft has completed a 360 degree turn.
The elapsed time from step 1 to step 13 is 250 milliseconds.
13. If the control issues another signal to index in the same direction, the same sequence is repeated except the reversing switch is not actuated. The reversing switch does not move until the tap changer is reversed and stepped the opposite direction back to neutral.

Troubleshooting Guide
Complete Regulator in Service
WARNING: When troubleshooting energized equipment, protective gear must be worn to avoid personal contact with energized parts. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death.
External Check
When service personnel arrive at what appears to be a malfunctioning regulator, it is advisable to examine the power connections first. For example, verify that the source lead is connected to the source bushing; that the load lead is connected to the load source bushing; and that the source-load lead is connected to the source-load bushing. Check for other potential problems, such as an open ground connection.
Defining the Problem
Refer to Figure 6-2, page 6-7 while diagnosing the problem.
After the external power connections have been checked, check the voltage-disconnect knife switch
(V
1 and V
6 if present) and the current shorting knife switch (C) of the rear panel signal circuit in the control box. Close the voltage disconnects if open. Open the shorting switch, if closed.
Check for loose connections or burnt wiring. Make sure the ratio-correcting transformer RCT
1 is on the correct tap for the regulated voltage shown on the nameplate on the control box door.
Remove the motor and panel fuses from the control and check for continuity across each fuse. Spare fuses are shipped with each control and located in the control box.
NOTE: Use only 350 V ac, slow-blow ceramic fuses of the proper current rating. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary fuse operation or insufficient protection of the regulator and control.
If the above checks do not identify the problem, determine which of the following three categories best describes the malfunction, and follow the corresponding diagnostic steps:

5. If correct voltage readings are obtained in steps
2 and 4, the trouble may be in the position indicator, junction box or control cable. Refer to the junction box troubleshooting section on page 6-3.
6. If there is no voltage measurement in either step 2 or 4, make a corresponding measurement (R and L

) and ground
(G) at the voltage disconnect knife switch.
a. If the set voltage value is approximately obtained, the V
1 disconnect or the ratio correcting transformer (RCT
1
) of the rear panel signal circuit is probably faulty.
b. If voltage is not obtained, the trouble is in the control cable, junction box, or regulator tank.
Refer to the junction box troubleshooting section on page 6-3. If the junction box checks are satisfactory, the trouble is in the regulator tank.
See S225-10-2 for the troubleshooting method.
The Regulator Will Operate
Manually But Not Automatically
Diagnosing Trouble:
1. If the control will not operate automatically, verify that the band edge indicators are functioning.

Check cable continuity up to the junction box. If it appears normal, the problem is the hold switch. Adjust or replace it (See S225-10-2). If all appears to be in order, the problem is not in the hold switch, but most likely in the control.
The Regulator Operates Manually but Operates Incorrectly
When Set On Automatic
Diagnosing Trouble:
Run the regulator to the neutral position with the control switch. Check for voltage between V
4 and G on TB
1
.
This is the sensing circuit supplying voltage from the output of RCT
1 on the rear panel. If this voltage is more than 10% above or below the programmed voltage level setting of the control, then the source is beyond the range of the regulator. An absence of voltage would indicate a wiring problem such as an open somewhere in the control power supply. If these checks are correct, then the malfunction is probably in the control. Refer to
Control Troubleshooting, following.
Control Troubleshooting
At this point, the problem has been determined to be in the control, so the front panel should be taken out of the control cabinet to a service bench for troubleshooting.
Figure 6-2, page 6-7 can be used to aid the troubleshooting process. The panel components are checked by using an external voltage of approximately 120 V ac,
60/50 Hz, applied to the external source terminals of the control.
To gain access to the front panel components, first remove the back shield. This is accomplished by removing the cable clamp attached to the shield side, and then removing the four nuts which secure the shield to the front panel.
1. Check the motor and panel fuses to ensure they have not blown.
2. Connect the power source to the external source terminals, observing the proper polarity.
WARNING: Correct polarity must be administered to the control. Failure to do so will cause a short circuit of the users’ voltage supply and possible damage to the control.
Place the power switch on the EXTERNAL position.
3. The control display should light. If the display does not light, measure the voltage on the printed circuit board from terminals P

-4 to P measure approximately 120 V ac.
5
-3, expecting to
4. If the display does not light and no voltage is measured from terminals P
5
-4 to P

-3, then the problem is in the power switch. The power
(Internal-Off-External) switch can be checked by measuring the voltage from switch terminal PS
2 ground, switch terminal PS
5 terminal PS
8 to to ground, and switch to ground. These measurements should equal the external voltage applied. If not, the power switch is defective.
5. If the display does not light and voltage is measured from terminals P
5
-4 to P
5
-3, then the circuit board is defective and must be returned to the factory for repair.
6. If the display does light, but reports the FAIL message, then the internal diagnostics have detected a problem. When the word FAIL appears, it does not necessarily indicate the control is malfunctioning.
Display Function Code 95.

McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control
Compare the display number with the System
Status Code, page 3-16. If any number other than
0, 6, 7 or 10 is displayed, the control has failed, and in need of repair. Contact Cooper Power
Systems for return authorization information. If 10 is displayed, it means there is no neutral light signal and the control has Function Code 12P set to 0
(neutral). Change FC 12P from 0 to 1, then reboot the control. It will now PASS.
The front panel circuits for the drag-hand reset solenoid
(DHR) and neutral light (NL) can be checked as follows:
1. Connect the ac voltmeter from G to DHR on fanning strip TB
2
(identified as white wire [G] and white/orange tracer [DHR]).
2. Depress the drag-hand reset toggle switch and observe approximately 120 V on the voltmeter. If no voltage is measured, the switch is probably defective.

Junction Box Troubleshooting
This section is used if the regulator will not operate manually. (Problem was isolated to junction box or regulator tank after checking out control, on page 6-1).
The junction box is composed of a terminal board, the position indicator, and the control box interconnections.
Refer to Figure 6-1, page 6-5, when the following steps are made:
1. Remove the regulator from service, as stated on page 1-10.
2. Ground the three high-voltage bushings.
3. Open V
1
, disconnect switch on rear panel of control cabinet.
4. Remove junction box lid.
5. Check the wiring on the junction box terminal board for loose connections, burnt wiring or bad swage joints.
6. Set the power switch to EXTERNAL.
7. Apply a 60/50 Hz, 120 V ac nominal variable source to the external source terminals. Make certain to maintain correct polarity.
8. Set the control function switch on MANUAL.
9. Toggle the raise switch. Measure the voltage between terminals R and G on terminal board. The voltage reading should be approximately 120 V ac.
10. Move the voltmeter leads to L and G. Toggle the lower switch.
11. Measure the voltage between terminals L and G on terminal board. The voltage reading should be approximately 120 V ac.
12. If correct voltage readings are obtained in steps 9 and 11 above, the trouble is in the regulator tank.
Refer to troubleshooting section of S225-10-2.
13. If there is no voltage measurement in either step 9 or 11, the problem is in the limit switches inside the position indicator or in the control cable.
14. Check the continuity of the raise and lower limit switches. The switches should be closed on all tap changer positions except for the set limit switch positions of the indicator dial. To check the continuity: a. Remove position indicator green-black lead from splice terminals.
b. Place the meter lead on the disconnected lead and the other lead on terminal L of the junction box terminal board. Then check continuity.
c. If a continuity problem occurs, refer to Position
Indicator Replacement below.
d. Remove the position indicator blue lead from the splice terminal.
e. Place the meter lead on the disconnected lead and the other lead on terminal R of the junction box terminal board. Check continuity.
f. If a continuity problem occurs, refer to Position
Indicator Replacement below.
15. Check the reset solenoid of position indicator.
Depress the drag-hand reset switch while measuring the voltage between DHR and G on the terminal board. The voltage reading should be approximately 120 V ac and drag hands will reset.
16. If 120 V is read and drag hand will not reset, refer to Position Indicator Replacement, below.
17. If 120 V is not read, refer to Control Troubleshooting, page 6-2.
Position Indicator Replacement
The following instructions apply only to the junction box mounted position indicator construction that was initiated in April, 1980.
To replace a defective position indicator, the unit must be removed from service as outlined in Removal from
Service, page 1-11.

S225-10-10
WARNING: This procedure must only be performed on a regulator that is out of service.
1. A defect in the position indicator may have caused loss of synchronization between the tap changer and the indicator hand. Verify that the tap changer is in neutral via the neutral light of the control and visual inspection of the tap changer. If the position indicator does not also show neutral, refer to instructions in S225-10-2, Regulator Tap Changer
Operation and Maintenance.
2. Remove the junction box cover.
3. Note the location of the indicating hand for future alignment and disengage the flexible shaft from the position indicator shaft. In early 1989 this joint was changed to a setscrew type coupling. Older equipment employed a cotter pin coupling.
4. Disconnect the four leads from the junction box terminal board and open the two splice terminals to the control cable. Refer to Figure 6-1.
5. Remove the three bolts holding the indicator to the junction box and slide the indicator free.
6. Remove the gasket from the groove on the back of the indicator body.
7. Clean the gasket surface of the junction box and the gasket and groove on the new indicator.
8. Place the gasket in the groove and insert the leads through the junction box wall, align the holes and install the three bolts finger tight.
9. Wrench-tighten the bolts to evenly compress the gasket and bring the indicator body tight against the junction box.
10. Connect the six leads to the terminal board and control cables leads per Figure 6-1 and secure all connections.
11. Turn the indicator drive shaft to place the hands at the previously noted position.
12. Slide the flexible shaft coupling into the indicator coupling and secure the allen screws.
13. Position the wires to prevent snagging on the couplings and secure the wires with tie wraps.
14. Connect a 120 V ac external power supply to the external banana jack on the front of the control panel.
15. Run the tap changer manually to verify the alignment of the position indicator hand and the neutral light. The neutral light should be ON with the yellow pointer hand on zero.
16. The following steps are instructions for setting the proper alignment to ensure rotational calibration
on a new "Cooper " position indicator.
a. Align the black scribe line on the position indicator (PI) coupling to the center of the operating band notches on the PI housing (The notches are located on the back hub of the PI
housing). Note that the new Cooper PI has a one-piece input shaft/coupling and a raised mark at the 12 o'clock position on the PI housing hub.
Also, note the counterclockwise (ccw) and clockwise (cw) band indicator notches located on the sides of the 12 o'clock mark. Each band indicator notch is 15 degrees in bandwidth.
b. Directly align the scribe line on the coupling and the 12 o'clock housing marks and insert the external flex end into the receiver hole of the coupling and tighten the 2 set screws to 16 inlbs.
c. Apply power to the control, set the control to manual mode, and proceed to check the proper movement and alignment of the PI as follows: d. Index the PI to the 2-R position, the scribe line on the coupling should be located ccw of the 12 o'clock mark. If the scribe line is outside of the ccw band notch of the PI back hub, loosen the brass coupling set screws and rotate the coupling (while holding the flex shaft) until the scribe line is one line-width inside the band notch. Retighten the setscrews and proceed to step e. If the scribe line is inside the notch, proceed to e.
e. Index the PI to neutral (0) position. The scribe line should be located cw of the 12 o'clock mark.
If the scribe line is outside the cw band notch, loosen the screws and rotate the coupling until the scribe line is one line-width inside the band notch and retighten the setscrews to 16 in-lbs. f. Index the PI to 2-R and 2-L position several times and each time, the scribe line should stop inside the notched area of the PI housing then proceed to steps 17. If at any time that the scribe line falls outside of the notch area after each indexing, try to recalibrate per this procedure one more time or contact the Cooper
Service Department for assistance.
17. Replace the junction box cover.
Control Calibration
All controls are factory calibrated and should not need to be recalibrated by the user. However, calibration can be
6-4
McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control performed for both the voltage and current circuits with the following steps:
WARNING: It must be verified that both the neutral light and the position indicator hand indicate neutral when the tap changer is physically in the neutral position. Lack of synchronization will cause an indefinite indication of NEUTRAL. Without both indications of neutral, bypassing of the regulator at a later time will not be possible, and the line must be de-energized to avoid shorting part of the series winding.
Voltage Calibration
1. Connect an accurate true-RMS-responding voltmeter to the voltmeter terminals. This voltmeter should have a base accuracy of at least 0.1% with calibration traceable to the National Bureau of
Standards.
2. Connect a stable 50/60 Hz voltage source (with less than 5% harmonic content) to the external source terminals.
3. Place the power switch on EXTERNAL.
4. Adjust the voltage source to provide 120.0 V to the control, as read on the reference voltmeter.
5. Before calibration can be performed, security level 3 must be activated. This is accomplished by entering the proper security code at Function
Code 99. Depress the following keys on the keypad:
FUNCTION, 99, ENTER; 32123, ENTER
The proper level of security is now activated.
6. Access Function Code 47 by keying FUNCTION,
47, ENTER.
7. The display will show the voltage applied to the control. This should correspond to the reading on the reference voltmeter. If the control reading is significantly different (see Table 2-1 for allowable tolerances), the calibration can be altered by keying
CHANGE, and then entering the correct voltage as displayed on the reference meter, followed by
ENTER. The voltage circuit is now calibrated.

4. Place the power switch on EXTERNAL.
5. Adjust the current source to provide 0.200 A to the control, as read on the reference ammeter.
6. Before calibration can be performed, security level 3 must be activated. This is accomplished by entering the proper security code at Function
Code 99. Depress the following keys on the keypad:
FUNCTION, 99, ENTER; 32123, ENTER
The proper level is now activated.
7. Access Function Code 48 by keying FUNCTION,

The Data Reader and Software Kit includes the Data
Reader, the Data Reader-to-control cable, the Data
Reader-to-PC cable, the Data Reader windows software and documentation. The non-copy protected software operates on an IBM-compatible personal computer with
Windows 3.1 or higher. The software allows the operator to perform the following functions:
1. Upload the data from the Data Reader to the soft ware database.
2. Erase the Data Reader memory.
3. Scan the data on the monitor.
4. Print reports.
5. Transfer data to another database.
Data Reader Assembly
The Data Reader Assembly consists of the Data Reader and the Data Reader-to-control cable.
Cooper Control Interface Software
The Cooper Control Interface (CCI) is a Windows-based configuration software package for use with the regulator
CL-4C and CL-5 Series controls. The CCI allows the users to:
• Create Control Settings
• Upload Settings to the Control
• Download Readings from the Control
Figure 7-1.
Fiber / RS-232 Board
Figure 7-2.
Fiber / Modem Board
• Provide Output of Settings and Readings
• Manage Settings and Readings Effective
This program is fully compatible with Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows NT4.0
operating systems. The CCI applications use Dynamic
Data Exchange (DDE) technology to connect from hardware to software easily and trouble free.
Both readings and settings are stored as non-proprietary data base formats (.xls) to allow use of the data by other applications without awkward conversions.
Its Graphic User Interface is easy to use and understand. Online help and a complete User Manual make the program easy to learn and generous toolbars make working within the program efficient.
The CCI is designed for front panel configuration with the regulator or recloser control. It also has 2179 protocol for verification with the communication port.
The program includes a file conversion routine to update all of your old files, both settings and readings, to the
7-1
McGraw-Edison ® VR-32 Regulator and CL-5 Series Control new file format. This conversion facilitates the transition from the old DOS-based applications to the new applications.
PC to Data Port Cable
For direct connection of a PC to the Data Port of the
CL-4 or CL-5 (and also the Form 4C recloser control) a special cable is required. This special cable connects from the computer’s RS-232 port to the TTL Data Port.
The cable provides the proper voltage and pin configuration.
The Data Port is intended for connection with either the
Data Reader black coil cord or the above PC to Data
Port cable. A standard RS-232 cable will not work for interfacing from a PC to the Data Port on the CL-4 or
CL-5 series controls. Use of a RS-232 may cause damage to the Data Port on the control and future connections to the Data Port may not work properly.
Digital Communications
This feature includes full remote metering and realtime operation capability. Using this feature, all metering and changing of parameters, including all of the options, can be controlled remotely. Additional remote capabilities include the ability to tap up or down a specified number of taps and the ability to determine the status of local activity. Digital communications requires the addition of one interface board to the back panel.
Digital Communication Interface
Board
For connection of the CL-5 Series controls to a digital communication system, several interface boards are available.
One option is a board that provides either fiber optic or
RS-232 interface with DATA 2179 communication output. A pair of standard ST type fiber optic connectors and an RS-232 port are mounted on the interface board to provide the customer connection to digital SCADA via multi-mode fiber optic cables or a standard 9-pin DB-9
RS-232 cable. Communication settings are easily changed with the use of dip switches. (See Figure 7-1.)
A second option is a board that provides modem/fiber optic interface with DATA 2179 communication output.
The modem connection is just like a computer modem at 2400 baud, and is addressed simply by dialing into it via telephone. The modem connection on the board is a standard RJ-11 phone line connection. All communications to and from the digital SCADA system to the regulators utilize the modem connection. A pair of standard ST type fiber optic connectors is mounted on the interface board to provide the customer connection from regulator to regulator in a loop. Therefore, in this
Figure 7-3.
DNP 3.0 Board application, only one modem interface board is required for the loop of regulators. The standard fiber optic/RS232 boards would be supplied for additional regulators in the loop. (See Figure 7-2.)
Another option is a board that provides either fiber optic or RS-232 interface with DNP 3.0 communication output.
This two-layer board consists of a protocol converter interface board (from DATA 2179 to DNP 3.0) and a power supply board. A pair of standard ST type fiber optic connectors and an RS-232 port are mounted on the interface board to provide the customer connection to digital SCADA via fiber optic cables or a standard 9pin DB-9 RS-232 cable. Communication settings are easily changed with the use of dip switches and rotary switches on the board. (See Figure 7-3.)
7-2
S225-10-10
The boards are self-powered from the internal regulator potential transformer. A connection from the interface board is made to a port located on the inside of the CL-5 swing panel. The boards can be factory installed or easily installed at the customer's site.
SCADA Relay and Terminal Block
For analog SCADA operation (remote tap changer control), as shown in Figure 4-16, page 4-10, an optional
SCADA relay and terminal block assembly is available.
(See Figure 7-4.)
Remote Mounting Control Cable
For remote mounting of the control cabinet, extended cable lengths are available in 5 foot (1.5 m) increments from 15 feet (4.6 m) to 45 feet (13.8m).
Fan Cooling Accessory
Voltage regulators 250 kVA and larger can be equipped with fan cooling. Fan cooling increases the load capacity of the regulator by 33%. Special requirements are necessary on regulators using fan cooling. Therefore, the regulator must be ordered with fan cooling or with provisions for adding fan cooling. Mounting cooling fans flush to the plate-type radiator is accomplished by using T-bolts that secure the cooling fan to the bank of radiators.
The automatic operation of the fan is controlled by a thermometer having a thermal switch that will cycle the fan on or off when the top-oil temperature reaches predetermined temperature limits. The thermal switch has an upper limit adjustable from 80°C to 110°C. The differential from make to break is 6°C to 10°C. The thermal switch, when temperature-activated or deactivated, signals a relay which turns the fan on or off.
