Provide a description of the automatic load sequencers with details such as, the number of sequencers provided per diesel generator (DG) or per safety-related bus and logic diagrams of the sequencers.

Also, provide a table of load sequencing for the LOOP conditions for each DG (similar to Table 8-7 for accident conditions in the Calvert Cliffs Updated Final Safety Analysis Report).CCNPP Response 1: There is one load sequencer per safety-related bus. The logic diagram for the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System is contained in Enclosure

1. This logic diagram includes the logic details for the accident (loss-of-coolant incident, called the LOCI sequencer) and shutdown sequencer.

The accident and shutdown sequencers are one module. Different inputs will actuate different portions of the module.If a Safety Injection Actuation Signal is present with an Undervoltage signal, then the accident function is actuated (six steps). If only an Undervoltage signal is present, then the shutdown function is actuated (three steps).The table below shows information for the shutdown sequencer similar to the information contained on Table 8-7 in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the accident sequencer.

There were two Condition Reports that documented a failure of a load sequencer time step outside of the 10%time interval tolerance in the last five years. An installed load sequencer was tested on June 23, 2013.One of the six steps (step 2) failed to meet the acceptance criteria of 5 seconds + 10%. A replacement sequencer module was installed on June 24, 2013. One of the six steps (step 6) failed to meet the acceptance criteria of 5 seconds + 10%. A second sequencer module was installed on June 25, 2013.This sequencer module met all of the acceptance criteria.

No other failure of sequencer modules to meet the acceptance criteria has been identified in the last five years.RAI 3: On page 3 of Attachment 1 of the LAR, in regards to SR 3.8.1.11, the licensee stated, "To perform this surveillance test at the most limiting power factor, the voltage regulators must be placed in the manual mode of operation.

This operational mode means that the safety bus voltage now tracks with the grid voltage swings. This places equipment at greater risk for being impacted by degraded grid voltage for the duration of the surveillance test. Currently, the surveillance test is one hour in duration and the exposure time with the voltage regulators in manual is minimal. With the change to a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> surveillance test, the exposure time with the voltage regulators in manual is significant.

The probability of a grid voltage swing is increased in a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period It is not an optimum testing practice.

Therefore, we propose to change the SR by removing the power factor numbers and the associated Note 2. The surveillance testing will be conducted at the required loads for a total of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at the worst case power factor achievable with the voltage regulators in automatic mode. The achievable power factor will depend on the grid conditions during the surveillance test but is expected to be approximately 0.9." Regarding the above statements, please provide the following information:

a. Explain why the voltage regulator needs to be in the manual mode in order to reduce the equipment risk during the surveillance test. Provide catalog cut/operational details of the voltage regulator.

2 ATTACHMENT (1)RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST b. Explain whether the surveillance test can be performed at the power factor limits during the 2-hour period by keeping the voltage regulators in manual mode of operation, so as to limit the equipment risk to any degraded grid voltage. If yes, provide details of power factor test limits corresponding to the kilo-watts (kW) loading during the 2-hour test period.CCNPP Response 3: 3a -As described below, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators need to be in the automatic mode of operation to reduce risk to safety-related equipment during Unit operation.

The only way to reach the reduced power factor required by the current Technical Specification under all conditions is to place the 13.8 kV voltage regulators in manual mode, which increases risk to the associated safety-related equipment.

Calvert Cliffs' electrical distribution design includes 13.8 kV voltage regulators which control voltage on the 4 kV safety-related buses. These voltage regulators can adjust voltage, as necessary, for changes in grid voltage. Therefore, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators ensure the 4 kV safety-related bus voltages remain within acceptable values for various grid voltages.

When the 13.8 kV voltage regulators are in the manual mode, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators cannot automatically correct for changes in grid voltage.Therefore, a 4 kV safety-related bus voltage and its associated electrical distribution system can be adversely affected by grid voltage changes when its associated 13.8 kV voltage regulator is in manual.When paralleling a DG to the grid, the DG power factor can be adjusted by either changing the DG generator voltage or the 4 kV bus voltage. To increase the DG VARs (i.e., decrease the DG power factor)the DG voltage can be increased or the 4 kV bus voltage can be decreased.

Depending on the 4 kV bus voltage at the time of the test, the DG voltage regulator range may not be sufficient to achieve the required power factor. To further increase the DG VARs and decrease DG power factor, the 4 kV bus voltage could be decreased.

This can be accomplished by placing the associated 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual and "stepping" the 13.8 kV voltage regulator down one step. This decreases the 4 kV bus voltage, increases DG VARs, and decreases DG power factor. However, with the 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual, the 4 kV bus and associated electrical distribution system can be adversely affected by changes in grid voltages.Therefore, in order to obtain the required DG power factor, plant conditions (bus voltages, DG voltage regulator performance) may require reducing the 4 kV bus voltage. This requires placing the 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual, which removes the automatic voltage protection to plant electrical distribution systems from grid voltage changes. As requested catalog and operational details of the transformers and tap changers are contained in Enclosure 2.3b -The main difference between the current one hour endurance test [Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.1.11]

and the proposed 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test is when the test is performed.

The one hour endurance test is performed during a refueling outage, during a DG testing window. The associated 4 kV bus is inoperable during this time and placing the voltage regulators in a manual mode has less impact than when the 4 kV bus is operable.

The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test is performed when the Unit is operating.

The associated 4 kV bus remains operable during the test and the impact to the stability of the operable 4 kV bus is increased when the voltage regulator is in the manual mode. The voltage regulators in automatic mode support the operation of safety-related equipment under degraded voltage conditions.

Even for a two hour period, this exposure to grid voltage changes is not acceptable.

Therefore, we are not able to guarantee that the power factor limits will be achieved during the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test.3 ATTACHMENT (1)RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST RAI 4: On page 3 of Attachment I of the LAR, the licensee described the kW loading requirements for the DGfor SR 3.8.1.11.

Provide a summary of the loading calculations for each DG for both accident and LOOP conditions.

CCNPP Response 4: The table below provides the loading for each DG during accident conditions.

The accidents considered were a main steam line break, a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LB LOCA) and a small break loss-of-coolant accident.

For each DG, the LB LOCA was the limiting accident for DG loading. The highest loading for each DG is in bold.Diesel Generator Accident 1st Minute Pre-RAS Post-RAS On SDC IA DG LB LOCA 3088.0 3205.9 3275.3 3184.2 1B DG LB LOCA 2309.8 2280.3 2350.6 2564.4 2A DG LB LOCA 2310.0 2357.3 2425.3 2591.3 2B DG LB LOCA 2841.3 2831.1 2902.1 2699.6 RAS -Recirculation Actuation Signal. For a LB LOCA, this is assumed to occur at 30 minutes into the accident.The table below provides the loading for each DG during loss of offsite power (LOOP) conditions.

The highest loading for each DG is in bold.Diesel Accident I" Minute 1-10 10-75 75 Minutes- On SDC Generator Minutes Minutes 4 Hours 1A DG LOOP 2058.7 2799.6 3495.9 3148.9 3027.7 1B DG LOOP 1282.6 1983.2 2359.3 2140.4 2388.1 2A DG LOOP 1310.5 2054.9 2296.4 2076.8 2427.4 2B DG LOOP 1830.2 2450.4 2771.8 2539.5 2474.5 RAI 5: The proposed changes to SR 3.8.1.11 relating to the 2-hour and 22-hour tests, states that, "These test phases may be performed in either order." Explain how performing the 2-hour test after the 22-hour test demonstrates the capability of the DG to perform its design finction.CCNPP Response 5: As can be seen in the response to RAI 4, sometimes the DG loading is higher at the end of an event rather than the beginning of an event. Therefore, a higher test load at the end of an endurance run can more closely model the bus loading that could be experienced.

Additionally, DG loading includes a prclubricating and warm-up period and a gradual loading period as described in the Technical Specification Bases. It takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to load a DG to its test band. During the test, no adjustments are made at the lower load which would affect the ability of the DG to operate at the higher load. Therefore, since time to load is not critical, and the ability to 4 ATTACHMENT (1)RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST increase to the higher load later is not affected, operating at the lower load first does not affect the higher load test. Also note that wear and tear on the DG may be reduced if operated at the lower load first, thereby reducing the need for tear-down maintenance of the DG.RAI 6: Provide the operating modes of the plant that the newly proposed SR 3.8.1.17 will be permitted to be performed.

CCNPP Response 6: New SR 3.8.1.17 will be performed in Modes 5, 6, and defueled.RAI 7: According to the Standard Technical Specification (STS), NUREG-1432, Revision 4, in Section 3.8.2,"AC Sources -Shutdown, "SR 3.8.2.1; SR 3.8.1. 11 (equivalent to the newly proposed SR 3.8.1.17) is not in the list of SRs which are not applicable, but rather is in the list of SRs in the "NOTE", which are not required to be performed.

The NRC stafffinds that the exemption for not performing the newly proposed SR 3.8.1.17 should be covered in the "NOTE".Please explain the deviation from the STS.CCNPP Response 7: This deviation from the Improved Technical Specifications is based on plant specific criteria approved during the Improved Technical Specifications conversion.

Specifically, the new SR 3.8.17 tests the DG automatic start in response to an undervoltage signal [provided by Diesel Generator (DG)-Loss of Voltage Start (LOVS), Technical Specification 3.3.6]. The DG-LOVS is not required to be Operable in Modes 5 and 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

As described in Reference 1, the undervoltage instrumentation is only required in Modes 1 through 3. This is consistent with the discussion provided in our application for a license amendment (Reference 2). That letter states that a DG is required during shutdown and refueling to ensure adequate AC electrical power is available to mitigate events such as a fuel handling incident or a loss of shutdown cooling. Due to the reduced pressure and temperature conditions of the Reactor Coolant System during shutdown conditions, these events develop more slowly and the results are less severe than the events which occur at full power. Thus, additional time is available for the operator to evaluate plant conditions and respond by manually operating the engineered safety feature components (including a DG) as required to successfully mitigate the consequences of the event. These discussions support the exclusion of undervoltage signals in Modes 5 and 6, and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

Technical Specification SR 3.0.1 requires that SRs be met during the Modes or other specified conditions in the Applicability, unless otherwise stated. Failure to meet a SR, whether the failure is experienced during the performance of the SR or between performances of the SR, is a failure to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation.

New SR 3.8.1.17 includes the requirement to auto start the DG from a standby condition on a loss of offsite power signal. This requires that the DG-LOVS system be Operable.

The DG-LOVS system operability is contained in Technical Specification 3.3.6. The Applicability of Technical Specification 3.3.6 is Modes 1 through 4. The DG-LOVS system is not required to be Operable in Modes 5, 6 or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

Therefore, it can be taken out of service in these Modes. When it is taken out of service, the requirements of SR 3.8.1.17 are not met, 5 ATTACHMENT (1)RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST and the Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. This leads to the need to exempt SR 3.8.1.17 from the list of SRs requirements.

This position is consistent with the current list of SRs exempt in SR 3.8.2.1.REFERENCES

20 GENERAL The Type 550CS is an improved version of the original Type 550C load-tap-chang-ing arcing-tap-selector switch first intro-duced in 1964 for medium-size trans-formers.It offers dependable, quiet operation through a normal voltage-regulation range of plus ten percent and minus ten percent in thirty-two

%-percent steps;other regulation ranges are also available.

They meet appropriate national standards.

Load-tap-changing arcing-tap-selector switches are designed to be operated.Occasionally LTC transformers are used in applications where the LTC is not re-quired and does not operate for extended Speriods of time. In these situations, it is good operating practice to by-pass the LTC. Refer inquiries concerning by-pass Figure 1.Typical McGraw-Edison transformer with LTC equipmenL arrangements to the Service Department, McGraw-Edison Power Products, Canons-burg, PA 15317.The LTC mechanism consists of three major components:

the tap selector, the drive, and the controls.

The tap selector is located in an oil-filled compartment welded to the upper section of the trans-former tank. This compartment has an oil-tight Pennsylite*

panel isolating the tap selector from the transformer.

The drive and the controls are in an air-filled weatherproof compartment located directly beneath the tap-selector com-partment.

Part of the drive is contained in a cast-aluminum housing within the com-partment.

A universal driveshaft con-nects the drive with the tap selector through a self-compensating spring-loaded stuffing box in the selector com-partment.This Service Information bulletin covers in detail the tap selector and the drive unit; the controls are covered in S210-40-14, Controls for Power-Type Load Tap Changing Equipment.

SHIPPING The tap-selector compartment is shipped filled with either oil, dry nitrogen gas, or dry air. It is standard practice for McGraw-Edison to ship the LTC switch under the same conditions as the main transformer.

To determine the conditions under which the LTC switch has been shipped, refer to the detailed outline drawings supplied with the equipment.

These instructions do not claim to cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedure, or process described, nor to provide directions for meeting every possible contingency during installation, operation, or maintenance.

When additional information is desired to satisfy a problem not covered sufficiently for the user's purpose, please contact your Cooper Power Systems sales engineer.September 1989

  • Supersedes 6/85 I INITIAL INSPECTION Immediately upon receipt of an LTC trans-former--preferably before unloading-thoroughly inspect the exterior and the interior of the LTC and the transformer for damage, rough handling in transit, and shortage, If initial inspection reveals evidence of damage, rough handling in transit, and/or shortage, notify-and file a claim with-the carrier at once. Also notify McGraw-Edison Company, Power Systems Divi-sion, Post Office Box 440, Canonsburg, PA 15317.All leaks must be located and repaired before proceeding with the installation or storage.STORAGE If. after initial inspection, a transformer is not to be placed in the service-ready con-dition Immediately, it Is considered to be in storage.Refer to Service Information S210-05-5, Liquid-Immersed Units-installation and Maintenance Instructions.

Handcrank the LTC through its entire range to make sure there is no me-chanical interference and operation is satisfactory.

Refer to Operation by Handcrank in the PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Section.It is normal for the greatest in-crease in force required to move the switch to occur in moving the switch from neutral to Position 1 raise or from Position 1 raise to neutral. It is at these positions that the additional load of operating the reversing switch is picked up. Movement of the revers-ing switch also comes into play in mov-ing the switch from Position 2 raise to Position 3 raise and Position 1 lower to Position 2 lower. In these positions, the reversing switch contacts are moved from a first position to a second position on the stationary contact.B. Install the screen and retainer on the inlet breather pipe.C. Remove the 1-in. pipe plug from the topof the tap-selector compartment.

D. install the outlet breather, using a suitable thread-sealing compound (GE Glyptol 1201 or its equivalent).

Note: Switches shiipped prior to 1970 utilized a sealed compartment equipped with a 4 psi positive pressure relief de-vice. McGraw-Edison's recommenda-tion is the open-breathing system. It is possible to modify the switch compart-ments in the field to incorporate the open breathing arrangement.

3 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Drive Mechanism The drive with its associated motor-corntrol panel is mounted in the control compartment located below the tap-selector compartment.

Mechanical fea-tures of the drive unit are shown in Figure 4.The drive, enclosed in an air-filled, cast-aluminum housing, is equipped with self-lubricating bearings; the gearing is coated with silicone grease during assembly to protect against rust. The limit switches and seal-in switch are mounted on the drive box.A mechanical stop located inside the drive housing prevents operation of the tap selector beyond the limit positions when hand cranking, or in the event of electrical limit-switch failure.The LTC is driven by a 115-Vac, 60-Hz, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor with positive stopping of the drive being achieved by dc braking of the motor. It is important that the motor has a well-regulated voltage supply (mea-sured at the motor).CAUTION The drive motor is designed for inter-mittent duty. It the motor is to be operated longer than ten minutes con-tinuously, it must be fan cooled.Numerals in parentheses in the following discussion refer to Figure 6.The motor (75), through a spur gear reduction (101 and 99). drives the spur gears(103 and 109). The hand-crank shaft (100) is attached to spur gear (103). Spur gear (92) drives the universal shaft (38)through a pair of miter gears (91 and 47).Shaft (81) extends through the rear of the drive housing and has mounted on it the seal-in switch operating cam (78). The motion of this shaft is transmitted through a pair of miter gears(78 and 77)and worm-gear assembly (49 and 69) to the position indicator and limit-switch arm (58).Upon energization of the motor, the ap-proximate time required to complete one tap change for a 32-step switch is one second. For a 16-step switch the time of the change is approximately doubled.Located on the universal driveshaft coupling (36) at the top of the drive hous-ing (43) is an ON-POSITION pointer.Normally, at the completion of each tap change this pointer should be centered on the ON-POSITION plate which is attached to the drive housing (see Checks and Adjustments Nos. I and 2 in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section).The pointer being anywhere between the indicating ends of the ON POSITION plate indicates that the tap-selector contacts are fully in contact.A CAUTION Before dismantling the drive box, the LTC mechanism must be in the neutral position (see Neutral-Position Relation-ship in TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section).

Incorrect timing within the drive box or between drive and tap selector can cause transformer failure.If trouble is suspected within the drive housing, the McGraw-Edison Power Sys-tems Division transformer service section should be consulted before repair or ad-justment is attempted.

____ ____ ___ ____ ____ ___S210-40--3 Tap Selector i The tap selector is an arcing-tap-switch type load tap changer. The selector is mounted on a Pennsylite insulating panel which is oil-tight and isolates the main transformer compartment from the tap-selector compartment.

The insulating panel will withstand full vacuum and serves as the terminal board for the taps from the transformer winding and the leads from the preventive-autotransformer.

& CAUTION Do not operate the LTC switch when the transformer is under full vacuum condition.

The tap-selector compartment is open-breathing.

The purpose of an open-breathing system is to exhaust the gases formed by breakdown of the oil by con-tact arcing. These gases can have a plat-ing effect on copper and copper alloy surfaces which increases contact resis-tance. The compartment is also equipped with a safety valve (Figure 2) to exhaust any excessive pressure build up.Note: Switches shipped prior to 1970 utilized a sealed compartment equipped with a 4 psi positive pressure relief device. Experience and verifying tests revealed that a hard black resis-tive coating could form on copper and copper-bearing alloy surfaces from polymerization of acetylene.

Acetylene is always produced with arcing in oil. McGraw-Edison's recommenda-tion is the open-breather system to eliminate as much of the acetylene as possible.

It is possible to modify the switch compartments in the field to incorporate the open breathing arrangement.

Contact the Service Department, McGraw-Edison Power Systems Division, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317.Numerals in parentheses in the following discussion refer to Figure 7.The universal driveshaft enters the tap-selector compartment through a self-compensating, spring-loaded stuffing box. The motion of the universal drive-shaft is transmitted through an insulating coupling (5) to the center phase of the tap selector through a pair of miter gears (21).one of which is attached to the scroll-cam shaft. Motion is transmitted to the two end phases through horizontal insulating shafts (5 and 20). Operation of the end phases is identical to that of the center phase described below.The motion of the universal driveshaft transmitted to the scroll-cam shaft causes the scroll cam (16) to rotate 180 degrees in the case of a 32-step switch, and 360 degrees in the case of 16-step switch.Every 180-degree movement of the scroll cam operates one of two roller plates (57 and 62) which are located on opposite sides of the scroll cam. Attached to each roller plate and operating con-centrically are the movable-arcing-con-tact shafts (39 and 37), with movable-arcing-contact assemblies attached to insulating supports.The movable arcing contacts (36)operate in different planes. The scroll cam, in moving 180 degrees, moves one or the other roller plate, causing the movable arcing contact to be moved from one stationary arcing contact (25) to the one adjacent.

At the end of this move-ment, the dwell section of the scroll cam is positioned between two adjacent rollers of each roller plate and, because the arcing contact shafts are attached to the roller plates, they are thus locked in position.In the case of a 32-step switch, the movable arcing contacts are positioned on the same stationary contact or adjacent stationery contacts for each tap change.In a 16-step switch, the movable arcing contacts are both positioned on the same stationary contact for each tap change.The reversing switch changes winding connections for raise or lower regulation.

The reversing switch for each phase.operated as the selector switches pass through neutral position, is actuated by a roller projecting from the face of the rear roller plate.62/Figure 7.Exploded view of tap-selector unit. (For complete parts list refer to Figure 18 and accompanying table.)5 Automatic Operation by Voltage-Regulating Relay[A WARNING Before performing any work on the LTC arcing-tap-selector switch, drive, or con-trols, observe the warnings and cautions appearing in Service Information S210-40-14 and S210-40-18.

& WARNING The three revolutions of the hand-crank MUST be accomplished in 3 seconds and the switch MUST be hand cranked steadily IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY until the ON-POSITION POINTER is cen-tered over the ON-POSITION plate. If the above instructions are not followed, transformer failure can occur.For automatic operation of the mecha-nism, the control instruments, voltage-regulating relay, and line-drop compensa-tor must be adjusted for the specific requirements of the system. Refer to ADJUSTMENTS Section in S210-40-14, Controls for Power-Type Load-Tap-Changing Equipment.

With all controls properly set, the load-tap-changing mechanism will operate automatically, giving the proper correc-tion in secondary voltage as required by the setting of the voltage-regulating relay and line-drop compensator.

Operation by Electrical Hand Control For operation of the mechanism by hand control. refer to S210-40-14, "Controls for Power-Type Load-Tap-Changing Equip-ment." With the controls properly set, operate the control switch to either RAISE or LOWER as desired.Operation by Handcrank A WARNZNt~A. For each tap change, in the case of a 16-step switch, six revolutions of the handcrank are required.

Crank clock-wise to lower and counterclockwise to raise voltage.A WARNING The six revolutions of the handcrank MUST be accomplished in 6 seconds and the swich MUST be hand cranked steadily IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY until the on-position pointer is centered over the ON-POSITION plate. If the above in-structions are not followed, transformer failure can occur.A WARNING McGraw-Edison DOES NOT recom-mend hand cranking the LTC mech-anism while the transformer is energized.

However, if IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION you choose to hand crank the LTC mechanism while the transformer is ENERGIZED, the following procedure MUST be ad-hered to. otherwise transformer failure can occur, 1. Place the LTC motor breaker, located on the motor control panel, and the relay breaker, located on the automatic control panel, in the OFF positions.

2. Remove the handcrank.

The removal of the handcrank opens the handcrank switch in the motor circuit and de-energizes the motor.NOTE: A handcrank stop prevents the operator from hand cranking the tap changer through a limit.3. For each tap change, in the case of a 32-step switch, three revolutions.

of the handcrank are required.

Crank clockwise to lower and counterclock-wise to raise voltage.5. After the tap change is complete, remove and replace the handcrank in its holder thus closing the handerank switch.6. Place the LTC motor breaker and re-lay breaker back in the ON position enabling the LTC switch to be oper-ated electrically.

When it is desired to operate the LTC mechanism by handcrank for preven-tive maintenance with the transformer DEENERGIZED, the procedure is iden-tical to that described for "operation by handcrank while the transformer is energized" EXCEPT for the following:

1. The time required to complete a tap change is not limited.2. The restriction for hand cranking in one direction only no longer applies.MAINTENANCE Periodic preventive maintenance in-spection of the LTC mechanism is re-quired. Generally, the interval between inspections is determined by the amount of contact erosion based on the number of tap changes as shown on the opera-tion counter. The interval between inspec-tions of like LTC mechanisms will vary considerably depending on individual conditions.

For normal utility systems it is recommended that a thorough inspec-tion of the mechanism be made at the end of the first year of operation and that subsequent inspections be based on the amount of contact erosion and number of tap changes noted at the end of the first year.1. Deenergize the transformer.

The transformer must be deenergized before performing any maintenance in-spection or work on an LTC. Inspecting or working on an LTC mechanism while the transformer is energized may result in bodily injury.2. Energize the control circuit and operate the mechanism by electrical hand control step by step through the entire range.A. Observing the position indicator and ON-POSITION pointer, make sure the drive unit is stopping properly on position.If not, refer to Checks and Ad-justments Nos. 1 and 2 in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section.B. Check that the operation counter is functioning.

If not, refer to the TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE Section.C. Check the limit-switch settings by attempting to operate the control beyond the limit position.

The motor should not operate.If the motor operates, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section.D. Check the handcrank switch by _____removing the handcrank from its holder and operating the control switch. The motor should not oper-ate.It the motor operates, roetr to Checks and Adjustments No. 5 in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section.3. Set the LTC mechanism in the neutral position by operating by electrical hand control until the position indi-cator on the drive unit indicates neu-tral (N). See Neutral-Position Rela-tionship Section.4. Remove the 1-in. pipe plug from the drain-and-sampling valve.5. Open the drain-and-sampling valve: drain the oil from the tap-selector compartment.

Refer to S210-10-1, Vacuum Filling Oil Immersed Power Transformers.

6. Open the tap-selector compartment door.7. Inspect the tap selector for physical damage or evidence of moisture.A. If there is any sign of moisture in-side the tap-selector compart-ment, determine the extent and the manner by which the moisture entered.Refer to the TESTING FOR LEAKS (PRESSURE TESTING)Section.B. Any moisture detected in the tap-selector compartment must be re-moved using clean, dry cloths.a S210-40-3 8. Inspect stuffing box (Figure 17, Item S27) for evidence of oil leakage.A. If there is any sign of oil leakage, determine the extent and the cause and correct, Refer to the TROUBLESHOOT-ING GUIDE Section.*9. Check external shaft assembly (Fig-ure 17, Item 25) for freedom of move-ment by sliding the shaft up and down slightly to make sure there is no bind-ing in stuffing box (27).It there is binding in the stuffing box, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Section.10. Thoroughly flush and, using clean, dry cloths, remove all carbonization which may be deposited on insulat-ing surfaces.

We recommend flushing with transformer oil but do not object to the use of oil-base solvents.11. Close the drain-and-sampling valve, replacing the 1-in. pipe plug.12. Place the LTC motor breaker (on the motor control panel) and the relay breaker (on the automatic control panel) in the OFF position.13. Remove the handcrank from its holder.Removal of the handcrank opens the handcrank switch in the motor circuit and deenergizes the motor. A hand-crank stop prevents the operator S from handcranking the tap selector through a limit.14. Place the handcrank on the hand-crank shaft in the drive box.15. Inspect the arcing contacts (Figure 12 and 13) for arc erosion.In an arcing-tap-switch-type LTC mechanism, the tap selector performs a dual function:

Tap selection and preventive-auto (switching-reactor) switching.

Since the tap-selector also switches the preventive auto, the tap selector contacts are subject to arc erosion. Arc-resistant materials are used in both the movable and the stationary contacts.

Erosion rates and patterns are functions of the tap volt-age, the load current, and the preven-tive-auto design.Figure 14 shows typical contact erosion patterns.

The stationary arc-ing contacts normally erode more slowly than the movable arcing con-tacts because many tap positions (stationary arcing contacts) are en-countered by the movable arcing contacts during their service life.A. Inspect the movable arcing con-tacts (Figure 12) for arc erosion.The point of replacement of mov-able arcing contacts is shown on the left in Figure 14.If contacts are not replaced at this point, thermal instability at the con-tact interface will result, followed by thermal failure of the contact.Contact assemblies are factory-set and designed to produce a 10-12 lb force per contact point.To replace the movable arcing contacts: (1) Handcrank the movable con-tacts to a convenient position between the stationary arcing contacts or remove the sta-tionary arcing contacts on one tap position and handcrank the movable contacts to that posi-tion.(2) Remove the eroded main mov-able arcing contacts.(3) Install the new movable arcing contacts, using flatwashers, locknuts, and shouldered mounting bolts, positioning the bolt heads next to the thrust piece as shown in Figure 15.CAUTION When installing main movable arcing contacts, it is essential that zero pres-sure be maintained in the main trans-former tank to establish proper align-ment with the main stationary arcing contacts.Do not overtighten the mounting bolts. Overtightening these bolts will crack the main insulating arm in the area of the bolt holes.NOTE: Mounting bolts are shouldered, so that, when properly assembled as shown in Figure 15, the thrust piece will move between the bolt heads and the main insulating arm to com-pensate for misalignment of the stationary and the movable arcing contacts.(4)Handcrank the LTC slowly through its entire range around the dial to make sure there is clearance between the lower spring pins and the slipring and the upper spring pin and the stationarycontact while on con-tact and while sweeping to adjacent contacts.(5) Return the LTC to the neutral position.Refer to the NEUTRAL-POSI-TION RELATIONSHIP Section.B. Inspect the stationary arcing con-tacts (Figure 13) for arc erosion.using a small inspection mirror to thoroughly examine the backs of the contacts.The point of replacement of sta-tionary arcing contacts is shown on the right in Figure 14.Stationary arcing contacts are sil-ver plated to reduce the possibility of high-resistance oxidation which impedes current flow, adding to thermal instability at the point of contact. When the arcing tips erode to the point where burning on the silver plating can occur, the stationary contacts must be re-placed.NOTE: The silver-plated main dial sta-tionary arcing contacts are directly interchangeable with all previous model 550C.To replace the stationary arcing contacts: (1) Remove the eroded contacts.(2) Thoroughly clean all oxidation from the ends of the stationary contact spacer tubes and mounting supports.Scotch-Brite No. 44 7 or No. 448 is recommended for cleaning copper surfaces.(3) Install the new stationary arcing contacts, holding them against the mounting bolts toward the outside of the stationary con-tact bolt circle to establish proper alignment.

See Fig-ure 16.16. Inspect the non-arcing reversing mov-able contacts (Figure 16) for mechani-cal wear.NOTE: Earlier models shipped prior to February 1975 utilized a reversing switch design which because of the timing with the main dial would have arcing occurring on reversing stationary contact No. 1. At that time the reversing stationary contacts were tipped with a copper tungsten mate-rial to withstand the effects of arcing. The movable contact tips which engage the stationary contacts were also of a copper tungsten or silver tungsten material.

The slot in the reversing segment was a straight slot as shown in Figure 16.In 1975 we began using a reversing segment as shown in Figure 16 with an offset slot to delay the reversing movable contact coming off the stationary contact allowing the main dial contacts to interrupt the current eliminating the arcing on re-versing stationary contact No. 1. This per-mitted the use of silverplated stationary contacts and coin silver movable contacts.When updating the reversing switches of older units you must replace the reversing stationary contacts, reversing neutral stationary contact, movable contact as-sembly and reversing insulating arm assembly.

See Figure 5.The reversing movable contacts are subject to mechanical wear, not arc erosion. When the initial gap be-tween the movable contacts wears to 9/32 in., the contacts should be re-placed. The contact assemblies are factory-set and designed to produce a 10-12 lb force per contact point.To replace the reversing movable contacts: A. Handcrank the LTC so that the re-versing movable contacts are mid-way between the reversing station-ary contacts.S. Remove the.worn reversing mov-able contacts.C. Install the new reversing movable contacts.7 A CAUTION When installing reversing movable contacts, it is essential that zero pres-sure be maintained in the main trans-former tank to establish proper align-ment with the stationary contacts.(1) Make sure the centerlines of the reversing stationary con-tact, the reversing movable con-tact assembly (thrust piece), and the reversing neutral sta-tionary contact coincide (Fig-ure 16).(2) Handcrank the LTC slowly through at least three posi-tions on either side of neutral to make sure there is clear-anoe between the lower sprng pins of the movable contact assembly and the reversing neutral stationary contact and the upper spring pins of the movable contact assembly and the stationary contacts.Make sure that the reversing insulating arm is not rubbing on the face o the reversing neutral stationary contact.(3) Return the LTC to the neutral position.Refer to the NEUTRAL-POS!-

T/ON RELATIONSHIP Section.17. Inspect the non-arcing reversing sta-tionary contacts (Figure 16) for me-chanical wear.The reversing stationary contacts are silverplated to reduce the possibility of high-resistance oxidation which impedes current flow, adding to ther-mal instability at the point of contact.The reversing stationary contacts are subject to mechanical wear, not arc erosion. When the silver plating has worn off in the path of the reversing movable contacts, the stationary con-tacts should be replaced.To replace the reversing stationary contacts: A. Handcrank the LTC so that the re-versing movable contacts are mid-way between the stationary con-tacts.B. Remove the worn reversing sta-tionary contacts.C. Install the new reversing stationary contacts.D. Handcrank the LTC slowly through at least two positions on either side of neutral to make sure there is clearance between the reversing stationary contacts and the upper spring pin of the reversing mov-able contacts.E. Return the LTC to the neutral posi-tion.Refer to the NEUTRAL-POSITION RELATIONSHIP Section.18. Make sure all fasteners, lockstrips, and electrical connections are tight and secure.19. Handcrank the LTC step-by-step through its entire range to make sure there is no mechanical interference and that all the new contacts have been properly installed.

20. Return the LTC to the neutral posi-tion.Refer to the NEUTRAL-POSITION RELATIONSHIP Section.21. If the same oil is to be returned to the tap-selector compartment, filter and test the oil.The oil must test 26 kV minimum in standard gap (ASTM D 877) and 25 ppm (wt) maximum moisture content.22. Close the tap-selector compartment door.23. Refill the tap-selector compartment with oil to the 25 C level marked on the oil-level gage.Refer to S210-10-1, Vacuum Filling Oil-Immersed Power Transformers.
24. Pressure test the tap selector com-partment.Although each LTC mechanism is subjected to pressure tests for leaks before leaving the factory and pres-sure testing is recommended again before the open-breathing system is installed and prior to placing the unit in service for the first time, another pressure test is recommended prior to placing the unit in service after performing maintenance.

Refer to the TESTING FOR LEAKS (PRESSURE TESTING) Section for recommended test procedures.

25. Operate the LTC for 10 minutes (ap-proximately 800 operations) to seat the contacts and eliminate any air pockets resulting from the oil filling.Refer to the Arcing-Tap-Switch-Type Load Tap Changer Section in Service Information S210-10-1, Vacuum Fill-ing Oil-Immersed Power Trans-formers.Testing for Leaks (Pressure Testing)A pressure test of the tap selector cornt-partment is recommended any time a gas-keted device is removed or replaced which may leak oil out of or moisture into the switch compartment.

Either one of the following methods is recommended:

Method 1 With the transformer deenergized, the tap selector compartment door sealed and the inlet and outlet of the open breather system sealed: 1. Fill the tap-selector compartment with oil.2. Hold the oil under 5 psi max pressure for several hours.Monitor the pressure closely because a change in ambient temperature can easily cause a drastic change in pres-sure.3. Dust blue chalk powder on areas of suspected leakage.The chalk will turn dark when wet with oil.Method 2 With the transformer deenergized, the tap selector compartment door sealed, and the inlet and outlet of the open breather system sealed: 1. Maintain a nitrogen pressure of ap-proximately 4 psi.2. Paint a soap-bubble solution such as glycerine and liquid soap on the welded and gasketed joints to disclose leaks.Alternative to painting with a soap-bubble solution.

Seal the unit under the gas test pressure for a period of hours while monitoring for loss of pressure.PRESSURE TEST OF TAP SELECTOR PANEL A pressure test of the tap selector panel to check the integrity of all the gaskets forming seals between the tap selector compartment and the transformer is rec-ommended any time a gasket is replaced or the oil level in the LTC compartment increases with no apparent reason.With the transformer de-energized and the selector compartment drained and opened: 1. Wipe down selector panel with clean dry cloths.2. Apply 3 psi min., 5 psi max. pressure to the transformer tank.3. Check for oil seepage at gasketed points.& CAUTION When installing reversing stationary contacts, it is essential that zero pres-sure be maintained in the main trans-former tank to establish proper align-ment with the reversing movable con-tacts.& CAUTION The drive motor is designed for inter-mittent duty. If the motor is to be oper-ated longer than 10 minutes continu-ously, it must be fan-cooled.

11 GENERAL The LTC control is divided into two basic components-the automatic control de-scribed in Service Information S210-40-14 and the tap changer motor control de-scribed in S210-40-18.

The automatic control panel is shown in Figure 1. Service Information S210-40-14 and S210-40-18 describes the standard features for automatic control of Mcgraw Edison load tap changing transformers.

To operate the load tap changer, the wiring schematics that accompany each transformer must be consulted before making the power supply connections, CAUTION Incorrect supply voltage could dam-age drive, motor or controls.

Refer to wiring schematics which accom-pany each transformer.

T_BREAKER NORMA# CONTROL SWITCH4ES TEST I REACTANCE~

REMOTE MANUAL RAISE TERMINALS LuV9SE AL AUTO OwER Figure 1.Automatic control panel.To operate the load tap changer in the automatic mode, it is necessary to connect a potential transformer between the regu-lated lineaand the automatic voltage sens-ing circuit. The potential transformer (nor-mally supplied by the user) must have a secondary which operates in the 1 tO-130-volt range. Proper polarity relationship must be maintained between the potential transformer and the internal, load-sensi-tive, line-drop compensator current trans-lormer. Refer to the schematic drawings that accompany the transformer before connecting the potential source to the input connections.

To energize the voltage sensing circuit, place the CONTROL CIR-CUlT BREAKER in the ON position.These instructions do nor claim to cover all details or variations in the equipment, procedure, or process descrbed, nor to provide direcions for meeting every possible contngency during installation, operation, or maintenance.

  • Supercedes 6/86 I CHASSIS-FRONT VIEW CONTROL PANEL-REAR VIEW Figure 2.Typical automatic control panel wiring.AUTOMATIC CONTROL PANEL The automatic control panel includes solid-state voltage sensing and timing devices used in conjunction with mechan-ical output relays to initiate the operation of the lap changer motor operating panel.The voltage sensing device is factory cali-brated. The specific voltage level and bandwidth adjustments are obtainable by using calibrated control knobs which can be locked in place..Unless otherwise spec-ified, the controls are designed for 60-Hz, ac operation with an accuracy classof bet-ter than Class 1. Except for the motor breaker, all of the controls for both manual and automatic operations are mounted on the front of the automatic control panel.The motor breaker is located on the motor operating panel.Manual Operation The bottom section of the automatic control panel contains four toggle switches, three of which are used to select and direct man-ual or automatic control of the load tap changer (Figures 1 and 2). With the RE-MOTE-LOCAL switch in the LOCAL posi-tion and the MANUAL-AUTO switch in the MANUAL position, the load tap changer can be operated in the manual mode by actuating the momentary RAISE-LOWER switch in the desired direction.

When more than one lap change is neces-sary. holding the RAISE-LOWER switch in the appropriate position until just before the tap changer reaches the desired tap position causes the tap changer to operate in a sequential mode. Releasing the RAISE-LOWER switch and allowing it to return to the OFF (center) position permits a short time delay and enforces motor brake operation.

NOTE: The manual operation of the load tap changer isnot affected by or related toany of the other components on the automatic con-trol panel.Automatic Operation Before attempting to place the load tap changer in the automatic mode oi operation, the motor control power and the automatic voltage sensor potential source must be con-nected and energized. (Refer to the wiring schematic for each specific transformer).

To place the load-tap-changing equip-ment in the automatic mode, all related control settings must be predetermined and selected.Individual circuits and controls relating to the automatic operation are covered in the COMPONENTS for automatic control panel section. To clarify the automatic operating procedure, a control setting checklist follows: 1. Place the CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER (8-90) Figure 2 in the OFF position.2. Loosen the four locking screws on the,,d knobs above the control switches.

___3. Place the AUTO-MANUAL switch in -the MANUAL position and the REMOTE-LOCAL swilch in the LOCAL position.4. Set the TEST RHEOSTAT control at zero (0).5. Set the VOLTAGE LEVEL control to the desired voltage.6. Set the BANDWIDTH control to the preselected value-7. Set the LINE-DROP COMPENSATOR (LDC on control panel). REACTANCE and RESISTANCE controls at zero (0).(Alter the calibration check, these controls should be set at the calculated levels.)8. Place the MOTOR BREAKER on the motor operating panel in the ON posi-tion. See S210-40-18.

9. If the voltage level and bandwidth are to be checked with a voltmeter, con-nect the meter to TEST TERMINALS G and A.10. Place the CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER in the ON position.

Wait approximately 15 minutes before pro-ceeding, to allow warm-up.I t the vollage level and bandwidth are not going to be checked with a volt-meter, operate Ihe load tap changer in the manual mode until the LOWER4 test light in energized-then proceed Wo to checking the bandwidth as out-lined in 11 E.2 S210-40-14

11. If the voltage level and bandwidth are going to be checked with a voltmeter.

the TEST RHIEOSTAt control can be used to advantage:

A. Operate the load tapchangerin the manual mode until the voltmeter reads as close as possible to the desired band center , 3 volts.B. Place the MOTOR BREAKER in the OFF position and pull the dual fuse holder (located on the motor oper-ating panel) out of its retaining block. SeeS210-40-18.

C. Set the TEST RHEOSTAT control to a value which equals the voltage increment above the desired band center obtained in Step 11 A.Example: To obtain a desired band center of 120 volts: (1) Operate the load tap changer in the manual mode until the voItmeler reads as close as possible to the desired band center +3 volts.a, Nearest voltage obtainable is 123.5 volts.b. Therefore.

123.5 -120 -- 3.5 volts, (2) Place the MOTOR BREAKER in the OFF position and putl the dual fuse holder out o1 its retaining block.(3) Set TEST RHEOSTAT control for 3.5 volts.D. It necessary, adjusl the VOLTAGE.EVEL qgntrQl VnI!j neither the RAISE nor the LOWER test light is lit. For the most accurate setting.center the control between the two points where the RAISE and LOWER lest lights are lit.NOTE, Al the lime the band level and the bandwidth are being adjusted.

the make and break points of both the raise and the lower Circuits dilter by approximately 0.5 volt. This ditleren-hal is a seat-in feature furnished to assure the positive making of the con-tacts at the extremities of the band-width.E. Check the bandwidth by rotating the TEST RHEOSTAT control in both directions and observing the dial voltage differential between the points where the RAISE and LOWER test lights come on.Example (continued from 11 C):*Assume BANDWIDTH control has been preset to 3 volts." Voltnteter (if used) reads 123.5 volts." TEST RHEOSTAT control set at 3.5 volts." BAND LEVEL control set at 120 volts." Rotate TEST RHEOSTATcontrot in both directions:

LOWER test light comes on at two volts: RAISE lest light comes on at five volts.* Therefore.

5 -2 = 3 volts band-width.F Secure BAND LEVEL and BAND-WIDTH controls by tightening their locking screws.G. Check operation of time-delay re-lays by rotating the TEST RHEO-STAT control and noting the time differential between the test light ignition and dimming, (Output relay closure causes test light to atten-uate.) Each time-delay relay is fac-tory set for a 30-second time delay.See instructions for rime-delay relays undet COMPONENTS for automatic control panel before changing the setting.H. Return the TEST RHEOSTAT con-trol to zero (0) and secure its lock-ing screw.I, Set the appropriate LINE-DROP COMPENSATOR setting. (See Step Sand instructions under Line-Drop Compensator.)

Secure the LOC RESISTANCE knob locking screw, J. Replace the dual fuse holder and move the MOTOR BREAKER to the ON position.K. After completing the preceeding steps, move the AUTO-MANUAL switch to the AUTO position and the load tap changer will respond to the automatic control mode.Components

1. CONTROL CIRCUIT BREAKER. A single-pole.

tip-ffee breaker provides ON-OFF. short-circuit and overload protection for the control panel.2. TEST TERMINALS.

Two test terminals facilitate connecting a voltmeter during calibration tests.3. VOLTAGE-REGULATING RELAY. A solid-state, adjustable voltage sensor permits the selection of a band level between 105 and 135 volts. The BAND-WIDTH control permits the selection of a bandwidth of from 1.5 to 7.5 volts.4. TEST LIGHTS. Two test lights incor-porated in the time-delay circuits pro-vide a visual indication of the conduction occurring within the voltage regulating relay.S. LINE-DROP COMPENSATOR.

The line-drop compensator, complete with reverse-reactance switch, variable-reactance and variable-resistance con-trols, facilitates the regulation of the leeder at a point remote from the trans-former and provides for reverse react-ance paralleling.

6. TEST RHEOSTAT.

The fine-adjustment test rheostat facilitates the determina-tion of the bandwidth even though a variable external power source may not be available.

7. CONTROL SWITCHES.

Three control switches mounted in the lower section of the automatic control panel provide a selection of the following operations and modes of the load lap changer: remote. local, automatic, manual, raise.off. and lower.A. To operate the load tap changer from within the cabinet in either the automatic or manual mode. the REMOTE-LOCAL switch must be in the LOCAL position.

To operate the load tap changer from a remote point, the REMOTE-LOCAL switch must be in the REMOTE position.Auxiliary auto-manual and raise-lower switches must be supplied by the user when operating from a remote point.8. To operate the load tap changer from within the cabinet in the manual mode or to deactivate local auto-matic operation, place the AUTO-MANUAL switch in the MANUAL position.

To operate the load tap changer in the local automatic mode, place the AUTO-MANUAL switch in the AUTO position, C. The RAISE-LOWER switch is used to operate the load tap changer in the local manual mode. The switch is equipped with a center OFF and two momentary ON positions.

Making momentary contact in the up direc-tion for RAISE or down for LOWER will cause the load tap changer to move one step at a time. If more than one tap change is required.

holding the momentary contact in the desired direction will permit sequential operation.

8. TIME-DELAY RELAYS, Two adjustable time-delay relays (one for RAISE. one for LOWER) are in the circuit between the voltage-regulating relay and the tap changer motor control. These relays provide a selection of time delays from to to 90 seconds. Unless otherwise specified, the relays are factory-set for 30 seconds, To change the setting, insert a small screwdriver (preferably a '.-in.-diameter handle) in the potentiometer screwdriver slot and rotate clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the lime delay. Changing of potentiometer settings will show resistance to movement because of a mechanical drag which has been placed on the shaft to prevent accidental movement.

Total rotation is about 300 degrees and can be observed by relating the slot position relative to the graduations surrounding the shaft (Figure 3).&t CAUTION To prevent potentiometer damage, do not use a large screwdriver or force the settings at the extreme ends of the range.3 NOTE: Potentiometer must be securely mounted Hold potentiometer while tighten-ing mounting nut. Bottom section ol shaft lock must be locked against potentiometer mounting nut, Top section of shaft lock is to be pulled snug enough to make it necessary to use a small screwdriver to adjuSt the potentiometer. (Screwdriver--Stanley 1010 or equivalent).

Each time-delay relay is factory set for 30-second time-delay.

See instructions for time-delay relays under COMPONENTS on automatic control panel before changing settings.13. Set the LDC REACTANCE and RE-SISTANCE controls for the calculated values. (See Line-Drop Compensator section for calculating procedures.)

Secure the LDC RESISTANCE control knob locking screw.Line-Drop Compensator The line-drop compensator is supplied with one resistance control and two react-ance controls, furnishing resistance and reactance compensation up to 24 volts in either, or both, elements.

The resistance compensation is continuously variable from 0 to 24 volts; the reactance compen-sation is variable in both 1- and 5-volt steps to a total of 24 volts.It reverse reactance compensation is required, move the NORMAL REACT-ANCE-REVERSE REACTANCE swilch on the front panel to the REVERSE REACT-ANCE position.To determine proper settings required for the line-drop compensator, it is neces-sary to understand the principle of line-drop compensation.

The principle involved consists of connecting a resistance-react-ance network in series with the voltage-regulating relay input. Current from an internal current transformer is passed through the compensator, producing a voltage drop which is opposed to the ap-plied potential.

Since the current is proportional to the feeder current and, if the resistance and the reactance of the compensator are pro-portional to those of the feeder from the transformer to the desired point, the volt-age at the voltage-regulating relay input will drop by an amount proportional to the feeder voltage drop to that point. This will cause the load tap changing mechanism to adjust its voltage to maintain a constant, selected voltage at the predetermined point.The remote point, often called the load center. should be selected with great care.It may be an actual point on the feeder where the main trunk branches out in a star-shaped pattern in the center of the feeder's territory.

it may also be a fictitious point recurrent about the middle of each feeder branch so that it represents an average condition existing over a wide area, The line-drop compensator circuit employed by McGraw-Edison is designed to operate at 10 ma and has been equipped with an intermediate current step of 0.2 amp to accommodate provisions for the circulating current method of paralleling with existing load tapchanging equipment.

To determine the settings for the line-drop compensator:

1. Determine the feeder line current that will provide 10 ma to flow in the line-drop compensator circuit. For the var-ious winding outputs described below.see the connection diagram nameplate A. For wye-connected output windings with one current transformer for line-drop compensation, this value will be the primary current rating of the current transformer for line-drop com-pensation.

B, Fordelta-connected output windings.this value will be V-3 times the pri-mary rated current of the current transformer for line-drop compen-sation, C, For wye-connected output windings with two current transformers for line-drop compensation (each hav-ing a secondary rating of 5.0 amps).the feeder line current will be equal to the primary current rating of either current transformer.

The second-aries are so interconnected that. with rated Current flowing in each prim-ary. 10 ma will flow in the line-drop compensatorcircuit This 10-ma cur-rent will be properly phased for use of a line-to-line potential transformer which is connected as shown on the load tap changing schematic dia-gram.2. Calculate line resistance and reactance.

3. Calculate line-drop in resistance volts and reactance volts as the products of Step 1 times Step 2.4. Divide the values obtained in Step 3 by the potential transformer ratio.5. Set the dials of the line-drop compen-sator equal to the values obtained in Step 4. The dials, calibrated in volts, are labeled RESISTANCE and REACT-ANCE VOLTS, Example: Consider a delta-connected transformer supplying one mile of feeder to a point for which resistance and reactance compensation are re-quired. The line is a 2 0. 20-in. equiva-lent spacing line which has a resistance of 0.41 ohm and a reactance of 0.60 ohm per mile.If the current transformer for the line-drop compensator has a primary rating o1300 amps. the feeder line current will be -,/3times 300 or 520 amps.The line drop will be 520 times 0. 41 or 213 volts resistance and 520 times 0.60 or 312 volts reactance.

If a 20:1 potential transformer is used to step the Output voltage down for use with the voltage-regulating relay. the line-drop compensator settings would be 213 divided by 20 or 10.7 volts re-sistance and 312 divided by 20 or 15.6 volts reactance.

The nearest dial set-tings on the line-drop compensator would be 11 resistance and 16 react-ance. Generally.

it is desirable to com-pensate for the drop in distribution transformers and secondary service.Increase these calculated values ac-cordingly to compensate for this addi-tional drop.& WARNING If any work is to be done on the line-drop compensator portion of the control circuit while the transformer is energized, care must be exer-cised so that the secondary circuits of the current transformers are not accidentally opened. The current transformers must be short-circuited at the short-circuiting device in the drive-and-control compartment be-fore any work begins.Accidental opening of the current transformer circuits will cause a dangerously high voltage to appear across the opened circuit.S Voltage Sensor The solid-state vdltage sensing relay in-corporated in this automatic control cir-cuit utilizes a temperature-compensated.

cascaded Zener diode reference voltage (E across Z3) compared to a portion of the input voltage (E across RB) to furnish the intelligence required to select one of three possible relay output modes.Conduction through silicon-controlled Rectifier

  1. 1 (SCR 1) indicatesthat the input voltage T I -T2 is not of sufficient magni-tude to provide a voltage across R8 which equals the reference voltage across Z3.Conduction through silicon-controlled Rectifier
  1. 2 (SCR2) indicates that input voltage T1-T2 exceeds the magnitude required to produce a voltage across RB which equals the Z3 reference voltage. A lack of conduction through either SCR1 or SCR2indicates that the input voltage Tl-T2 is at the proper level to produce a match between the voltages across R8 and Z3.Operational amplifier OP1 compares the voltages across R8 and Z3. If the Z3 volt-age exceeds the R8 voltage. OP1 output swings positive causing the OP2 output to go positive and furnish the turn on gate voltage for SCRi. It the R8 voltage ex-ceeds the Z3 voltage. OPt output swings negative causing the OP3 output to go positive and furnish the gate voltage for SCR2. A rheostat (bandwidth control)connected between T5 and T6 desensi-tizes OP1 input, thereby providing a vari-able band between the voltage level inputs which cause OP1 output to change. Re-sistor R11 fixes the minimum bandwidth obtainable.

ResistorsR t 7and R22 furnish a small feedback voltage to OP2 and OP3 after their output swings to provide a hys-teresis action (seal-in feature) to the Out-put circuits.

Resistor R29 is a shunt re-sistor selected to bring the sensing-circuit input current to a value which permits the use of a standard rheostat for the voltage level control. Trimming (calibrating) re-Sislor R30 is used to match individual volt-age sensors to the preselected voltage lev-els for which the band-level control has been calibrated.

TAPCHANGER CONTROL M-oo67E

" Adaptable to any LTC Transformer-Old or New" Meets ANSI Class 1 (1%) Accuracy Requirement

.* Fully Transient Protected* Now in Use by Leading Manufacturers as Standard Equipment 0 I, INPUTS Power. A two wire input, requiring less than 3 W at 90 to 140 V ac, provides all power requirements.

The unit should be powered from a potential transformer or from the voltage to be controlled.

Line Current: Line drop compensation is provided by a C.T. input with a 0.2 A nominal full scale rating.The burden imposed by this input on the current source is 0.03 VA. A Beckwith Electric model M-0121 (5 A to 0.2 A) or M-0169 (5 A or 8.66 A to 0.2 A) Auxiliary Current Transformer is available when required.Circulating Cunrent; Parallel operation of transformers is provided by a second C.T. input with a 0.2 A nominal full scale rating. The burden imposed by this input on the current source is 0.005 VA. A paralleling input with a 02 A full scale rating gives approximately 24 V correction at approximately 90W for parallel operation with other transformers.

OUTPUTS Two outputs drive a raise and lower motor starter relay. The starters may be any voltage up to 240 V ac. The output contacts are rated at 2.5 A inrush current and will handle a NEMA size I starter or smaller.CONTROLS VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND: The center of the control band may be set to any voltage from 105 to 135 V ac. The scale calibration accuracy is +/-0.5 V at 120 V ac.TOTAL BANDWIDTH:

The bandwidth control can be adjusted from 1.0 to 6.0 V. The scale calibration accuracy is +/-0.3 V.TIME: The timer is adjustable from 0 to 120 sec. with a scale calibration accuracy of +/-10% of setting or +/-2 sec., whichever is greater. The timer starts when the voltage goes outside the band and resets within a few milliseconds upon return to the band or when reset by an external contact in the Non-Sequential mode.LINE DROP COMPENSATOR:

The resistance compensation provides 24 V compensation for 0.2 A input in phase with the input voltage. The reactance compensation provides 24 V compensation for 0.2 amps input at a phase angle of +/-90W as chosen by the DIRECT/REVERSE switch. The magnitude and angle of each circuit is individually set by a pair of trimpots to any accuracy limited only by the instruments used in setting. The factory setting of magnitude will be within +/-5% and the phase angles within +/-2%. The voltage and two current circuits are isolated from each other and do not interact.TESTIOPERATE:

When this switch is in the TEST position, the Line Drop Compensator is deactivated and the voltage may be raised and lowered by means of an uncalibrated voltage control. An external voltmeter with a burden of 500 £t per V or higher can be connected to test the band limits by observing when the RAISE and LOWER LEDs light. No special test voltage source required.LED INDICATORS The RAISE and LOWER LEDs light to indicate a voltage outside the band and a forthcoming tapchanger operation as soon as the timer times out. With a slowly varying input, operation of the LEDs and initiation of timing is very sharp with 0.2 V hysteresis.

The LEDs have an expected life of 25 years.I, II

...... ....... I MODES OF OPERATION.Either of the following modes are available as determined by presence or absence of a cam switch which is closed while the LTC is in transition.

Non-Sequential Mode: The timer resets after a tapchange, regardless of voltage.Sequential Mode: The timer resets only after the sensed voltage is back within the control band.LOW VOLTAGE PROTECTION Outputs are blocked from operating at input voltages below approximately 60 V ac. A proper raise output will be obtained down to this threshold.

The Block Diagram is shown in Figure 1. The M-0067 control is suitable for use on existing LTC transformers, single-phase regulators or induction voltage regulators, as well as new transformers.

All components are mounted on a single printed circuit board which in turn is mounted on a metal panel. The panel can be easily removed, leaving a completely functional circuit board with both sides exposed for ease in servicing.

The panel mounting space is consistent with a three-unit drawout case.A self-checking feature permits checking calibration with only an accurate ac voltmeter.

All dials are accurately calibrated with only one knob used for each function.

Calibration of each function is independent of all others.U 0m v~w 0 cc~7 I'I~~i I I 00 FIGURE 1 Block Diagram PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION U NOTE. It will help in following the Schematic shown in Figure 4 to know that generally dc voltages are positive at the top and negative at the bottom. Information generally flows from left to right.LINE DROP COMPENSATION This uses a number of unique circuits to give improved performance at lower cost and with almost no heat rise.The voltage is scaled down 10:1 by T4 so that 12 V ac on the secondary represents 120 V ac. By bringing the P.T.voltage to a 95% tap for test, both a raised and lowered voltage can be produced across the entire primary by adjustment of R3. This permits checking both band limits without using a separate test voltage source.Transformer TI and associated network produces a voltage across R5 of 2.4 V ac for 0.2 A in its primary.Capacitor C19 corrects for transformer inductance causing the voltage across R5 to be exactly in phase with the current. Resistor R2 is the main burden, and trimmer R4 adjusts the half-scale point of the resistance control R5 to be exactly correct.Transformer T2 and associated network produces a voltage across R9 of 2.4 V ac for 0.2 A in its primary. Switch S2 provides direct or reversed polarity for this reactance compensation voltage.The pi network consisting of C2, R7 and C5 provides exactly 9Q0 phase shift, including effects of transformer Winductance.

Trimmer R7, therefore, adjusts the angle of the voltage across R9 to be exactly 90* out of phase with'12 primary current. Trimmer R8 adjusts the magnitude to the correct value at half scale on reactance control R9.Capacitors are used in the reactance network since they provide nearly perfect linearity with current level and at lower cost than inductances.

A reversal of T2 polarity brings the phasing to the correct point, making the capacitive burden look like an inductive burden.Transformer T3 with C3 and C4 produce a secondary voltage, approximately 90' out of phase with the primary current, for use in parallel operation of transformers.

This angle is actually 84' and is not compensated to precisely 90 since this is not required for proper paralleling.

Again, reversal of polarity through TP3 makes its capacitive burden look like an inductive burden.Summing amplifier Q1 has a current summin-g input at pin 2 0-). Current is fed to this point through resistors R13, RIO, R11 and R12. It is the nature of QI that current cannot enter the device but that, instead, the Q1 output will serve itself so that the sum of the four currents flows through R16. When the sum of the input voltages is positive, Q1 output will be a negative voltage in precise proportion to the sum (at the juncture of D4, R18 and feedback resistor R1 6). When the sum of the input is negative, the feedback is blocked by D4 so that the summing input actually moves negative and Q1 switches positive to saturation.

This forms an effective half-wave rectifier yet without the temperature-sensitive drop of 1)4 giving an error.The resistor capacitance network following Q1 gives a dc voltage proportional to the sum. Components R17, R18 and C6 are chosen to make this dc voltage proportional to the rms content of the input regardless of considerable distortion.

This provides proper compensation when very nonlinear loads such as arc furnaces distort the current waveshape.

Resistors R20, R66 and R67 together with capacitors C8, C17 and C18 form a twin T-filter which removes theripple voltage without introducing a time delay which could cause the transformer to hunt when set for a I narrow bandwidth.

When the bandwidth is so narrow that it can be matched by only one tap position, it is essential to detect the voltage in time to stop the tapchangeron that one tap; otherwise the operation will oscillate continuously, never stopping within the band.VOLTAGE SENSING Power transformer T5 and full-wave rectifiers D5 and D6 provide an unregulated 24 V for noncritical circuits and as relay potential.

Integrated circuit regulator Q2 provides a very stable dc reference source for voltage determination and timing.Full-wave rectifiers D13, D18 and associated network provides negative voltages regulated by zener diodes D14 and D15.Integrated operational amplifier circuits Q3 and Q4 are used as threshold detectors.

Their outputs switch as the dc voltage "E," proportional to the compensated ac input, goes outside a band of reference voltages.Zener diode D7 maintains a constant voltage across the band width determining circuit so that the bandwidth is independent of voltage control R26. The zener diode D7, and the fact that R27 equals R30, assures that the bandwidth will vary around a bandcenter value determined by R26 alone.Resistors R34 and R35 provide approximately 0.2 V hysteresis at the band edges. This results in very sharp band edge operation, energizing the motor starter without chattering.

TIMER AND OUTPUT A precise and stable timer is formed by charging C12 through R43 to a point where operational-amplifier Q6 switches.

The second input to Q6 is by timing control R40. Resistor R45 provides a snap action when the threshold is reached.RAISE and LOWER LEDs I1 and 12 operate when either threshold detector Q3 or Q4 operate. Until the timer times out, the LED current is shunted to -6 V by diodes D11 and D12. When the timer does time out, the current from either 11 or 12 is passed to the base of Q9 or Q7, thereby turning it on. This transistor operates relay K1 or K2 which causes a raise or lower operation.

Transistor Q5 shorts the timing capacitor, thereby cutting off either relay whenever the voltage goes back within the band. This occurs in 1/2 cycle or less, assuring that the tapchanger will stop in the band whenever minimum bandwidth is being used.The timing capacitor can also be discharged by closing a contact from terminals 3 to 10. If tied to a cam switch, closed off normal, non-sequential operation is obtained where the timer starts following each tapchanger step regardless of the voltage.

STABILITY Excellent stability is achieved from -50P to +800 C (-58* to 1760 F). This is accomplished by using circuits and components each having inherent stability.

In units with serial numbers up to 5000, it was necessary to include a varistor to correct for a final +/-1/2% of temperature drift. Units serial 5000 and greater have this temperature correction eliminated.

This excellent stability is essential when transformers are used in parallel with very narrow bandwidth.

If the controls were to drift apart in voltage setting, first one transformer would operate to bring the voltage within its band and then the other. This would occur after each timer times out and would continue until the circulating current stopped the action. Minimum circulating current is thus not obtained.The design uses operational amplifier integrated circuits which have variations in manufacture, temperature and life measured in terms of less than 10 mV. These are used with voltages in the order of 10 V, well within their rating but far above the levels of undesired variations.

In addition, an integrated circuit voltage regulator establishes a highly stable reference to compare with the rectified ac voltage.Highly stable metal film resistors and wirewound potentiometers are used throughout the design. These are used as voltage dividers in such a way that the essential divided voltage is independent of the small variation of resistance with temperature.

Light emitting diodes assure trouble-free, long life with little deterioration due to age and no effect from vibration.

All active semiconductors are hermetically sealed so that moisture cannot change their characteristics.

The circuit involving Q1 is a novel combination of summing amplifier and compensated half-wave rectifier.

This eliminates all interaction between the several inputs to the compensator.

It also includes half-wave rectifier D4 inside a high gain feed-back path to eliminate the effect of the voltage drop across D4 which varies with temperature.

The ac voltage and current compensation voltages are scaled down 10:1 to values more appropriate for use with integrated circuits.

This and other techniques reduce the power input within the band to about 1 W which reduces warmup drift to a minimum by the simple fact that the temperature rise due to operation is very small.Accurate timing is achieved by use of a stable resistor and capacitor, and by measuring the charging time to a stable dc voltage using an operational amplifier to compare these voltages to within a few millivolts.

Through use of simple logic circuits, a single timer is used for either raise or lower.High temperature, low leakage electrolytic capacitors are used where necessary to minimize total drift with usage and variations in ambient temperature.

0 APPLICATION GENERAL External connections are shown in Figure 2. 3oth power (I to 3 W) and voltage sensing are obtained from a potential device having a nominal 120 V ac output. Normally, this is line-to-neutral potential although line-to-line potential can also be used if special attention is paid when using line drop compensation.

Load current must be reduced by suitable auxiliary current transformers to 0.2 A full scale before connecting to the M-0067 input.The Beckwith Electric M-0121 Current Transformer (SA to 0.2 A) can be used with the M-0067 when there is no additional burden present. The M-0169 Current Transformer (8.66 A or 5 A to 0.2 A) is for use in high burden current circuits, such as are found in paralleling schemes. Outputs are protected against overvoltage.

In general, the tapchanger motor must be operated from a different transformer than that used to measure potential.

If this is not done, hunting at the upper band edge may result. As soon as the motor starts and before it is sealed in, the motor current can drop the voltage within the band and reset the control. Some motor seal-in schemes are fast enough to prevent this but others are not.PARALLEL OPERATION A number of problems of distinct origin may be hard to distinguish because they all result in hunting of transformers in parallel.

The net result is excessive operations as noted on the counter. In order to prevent these operations, it is essential that the various causesbe carefully distinguished and eliminated to the extent provided by adherence to ANSI Class I standards.

Due to the necessity of tapping the transformer winding to the nearest turn, a change may be as much as 3/4%or 1 V. The tapchanger will have only one chance to stop within a 1 V band, and the control timer must reset before a second change is initiated.

If not, the tapchanger will move up two steps, reset, time out, move down two steps, time out and continue this indefinitely.

The M-0067 has been designed with a sufficiently fast response to avoid this problem.Another problem is that the industry standard for 1% accuracy may typically be fulfilled by*l /2% temperature variation and +1/2% due to other errors. It is quite possible for one control to drift +1/2% and another -1/2%with temperature.

This means the minimum practical bandwidth for parallel operation is 2% or 2.4 V, assuming no error was made in setting the controls.The adjustment error can be reduced by using the same voltmeter with great precision in setting the voltage at center of band of units being paralleled.

If the Beckwith control is used with a control of poor stability, even wider bandwidth must be used to compensate for the poor stability of the other control.A further problem in paralleling can arise if one control is of a different design and if line drop compensation is used. The line drop compensator of the M-0067 has rather exact 00 resistance compensation and 90* reactance compensation.

Other controls of older vintage have been found to have reactance compensation of 60r to 700, rather than 90r as it should be. Due to these imperfections, the line drop compensator of other controls may not track the rather exact line drop compensator of the M-0067. This may cause hunting to occur at load levels different than those existing when the controls were initially adjusted.

An additional problem in paralleling may occur if the transformers themselves have widely different imped-ances. This will cause current in the circulating current circuit, even with transformers on the same tap. In order to eliminate hunting, it is now necessary to desensitize the circulating current circuit so that no tapchange results from this minimal circulating current.This can be accomplished by changingR12 (normally 270 K). The sensitivity is inversely proportional to the size of R12, i.e., inserting R12 equal to 540 K would give a sensitivity of 12 V/0.2 A rather than the standard 24 V/0.2 A. This resistor is mounted on turrets to permit unsoldering without removing the panel.k CAUTION: Use a small iron and minimal heat In changing this component.

Refer to the TEST PROCEDURE section for the proper equipment required.The need to change R12 is eliminated if the Beckwith Electric M-0115 Parallel Balancing Module is used since it contains a sensitivity control. Refer to the Instruction Book on the M-01 15 for details.In another case, the standard sensitivity may not be sufficient.

This is the case where the impedance of an overcurrent relay in the circulating current circuit is so high as to reduce the current from the C.T. below the value which should flow. Here a lower than normal R12 value can be used to increase the sensitivity and compensate for the high relay impedance.

This problem is best avoided by using a Beckwith Electric M-0127 10-100 mA ac Overcurrent Relay. The input impedance of approximately 100 D avoids saturation of the source current transformer.

These difficulties have led some utilities to decide against using the circulating current method of paralleling.

Field experience with the Beckwith Electric controls proves that the operation will be stable over long periods and with no readjustment if the above points are carefully considered.

OPTIONS VOLTAGE REDUCTION The voltage setpoint may be reduced by closing the external dry contacts one at a time from terminal 11 or 12 to 13. These contact closures may typically be remotely-controlled by supervisory control.A CAUTION: Leads between contacts and the M-0067 terminals must be kept short and within the control cabinet in order to avoid circuit damage or misoperation.

Approximate values of resistance for various amounts of voltage reduction may be obtained from Figure 3. The resistors for two preselected steps of voltage reduction will be mounted on the printed circuit board. Please indicate the desired percentage(s) of voltage reduction (based on 120 V) on the OPTIONS page when ordering the unit. Resistors R74 and R75 will be factory selected and installed to provide the desired voltage reduction.

If no voltage reduction is specified on the option sheet, R74 and R75 will not be installed at the factory. If more than two steps of voltage reduction are required, additional voltage reduction resistors may be added externally to the unit in series with terminals 11 and 12.INSTANTANEOUS (NON-TIME DELAYED) VOLTAGE REDUCTION To implement this option, a 2.2 K +/-10%, 1/2 W carbon resistor is substituted at the factory for R37. When ordering the M-0067, please indicate if this option is desired by checking the appropriate entry on the OPTIONS page.

When voltage reduction is required, the contacts from terminal 10 to terminal 13 dose, forcing the timer to instantaneously time out. Subsequent tap changes will occur with no time delay. Meanwhile, the normally closed contacts will open to keep the cam switch from resetting the timer if the control has been wired for nonsequential operation.

If the control is being used in the sequential mode of operation, these normally closed contacts are unnecessary.

A CAUTION: Leads between contacts and the M-0067 terminals must be kept short and within the control cabinet in order to avoid circuit damage or misoperation.

USE OF THE M-0329 LTC BACKUP CONTROL WITH THE M-0067 TAPCHANGER CONTROL The M-0329 is a single-phase, solid-state backup control that has three main functions:

I. Prevent a defective tapchanger control from running the voltage outside the upper and lower limits.2. Prevent the line drop compensator from raising the voltage too high under full load or overload conditions.

3. Lower the voltage if the regulated voltage goes above the Block Raise setpoint by a fixed bandwidth.

The Block Raise and Block Lower voltage levels are set by accurately calibrated dials; four per-unit values are available for the fixed bandwidth.

The M-0329 Instruction Book is available on request and gives added details. Since the M-0329 voltage and the fixed bandwidth value must be specified at the time of purchase, please refer to the M-0329 Instruction Book for complete ordering information.

INSTALLATION The mounting and outline dimensions are shown in Figure 5 and 6b. The M-0067E is also available in horizontal and rack mount configurations as shown in Figure 6a and 6b. The horizontal configuration uses the same mounting dimensions as the vertical configuration shown in Figure 5.Since the compensated voltage is not available from the Beckwith Electric Tapchanger Control, the M-0329LTC Backup Control must be connected as a two terminal device to the potential transformer.

Figure 7 shows the typical interconnection of the two devices with motor auxiliary relays.Before energizing a new transformer or a modified old transformer make certain of the following7 LIGHTNING PROTECTION It has been determined that transient voltages in excess of 1500 V ac rms can exist on the "ground" lead normally tied to tenninal 3 and that these excessive voltages were causing occasional failure. In the '"S version of the M-0067 units, these voltages are suppressed by a string of varistors which still permit the unit to pass a 1500 V ac hi-pot test, all terminals to ground.If possible, the potential transformer should be grounded at the control with a lead no longer than 6" from the M-0067 terminal 3 to ground (such as one of the M-0067 mounting screws). This will give the best protection from lightning damage to the control.Multiple P.T. grounds far apart must be avoided, however, since a varying difference in ground potential could add or subtract from the effective potential and cause a variation in the voltage setpoint.A CAUTION- The Meter Circuit is protected by a 0.25 A Axial Lead Picofuse (F2). Any external device, e.g. a voltmeter, connected to TB1-2 must not draw more than 0.25 A to ensure F2 will not be blown. Refer to the TEST CIRCUIT section for instructions on using T71-2 for external voltage monitoring.

This fuse can be replaced by unsoldering the old fuse and replacing with an equivalent fuse. Consult the PARTS LIST and Component Location, Figure 8 for the fuse type and location.

Spare fuses are supplied with new M-0067E units, and additional fuses can be obtained from the manufacturers or from Beckwith Electric Co.Units returned with only a blown fuse are not covered by warranty, and a nominal repair charge will be made for replacement of the fuse.Please check the fuse before returning the M-0067forrepair, In order to avoid unnecessary repair charge.

If line drop compensation is used, the Backup Control Block Raise limit should be set higher than the highest voltage expected from the transformer under full load.The M-0329 LTC Backup Control also includes a First Customer Protection function that regulates the maximum voltage from the transformer.

This "LOWER" function operates slightly above the Block Raise limit and is connected to force the tapchanger to lower the voltage if this maximum limit is exceeded.Figure 7 shows the interconnection of the Tapchanger Control and LTC Backup Control The Instruction Book on the M-0329 LTC Backup Control is available on request and gives added details.Ideally, the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR should be set for the impedance from the transformer to the load center.The problem is that this load center varies with distribution of load and is seldom, if ever known.A balance of high and low voltage at full load can be achieved by using the M-0329 LTC Backup Control with the M-0067Tapchanger Control. Connections for this combination are shown in Figure 7. With this combination, the LDC is set at a value surely greater than the impedance to the load center. The M-0329 lower output contact will operate to limit the voltage to the nearest load when the transformer load is greater than approximately 80%load.See the M-0329 Instruction Book for further details.

CHECKOUT PROCEDURE SE'IrNGS Before power is applied to the transformer, adjust the VOLTAGECENTER OF BAND, TOTAL BANDWIDTH, TIME and R and X LINE DROP COMPENSATOR knobs to the desired setting. Remove wires from terminals 7,8 and 9 and place lead from terminal 4 temporarily on terminal 3.POWER Make certain by measurement, if possible, that the potential to be applied to terminals I through 3 is nominal 120 V ac. Apply this power but not the motor power. Turn the TEST/OPERATE switch to TEST, connect a voltmeter from 2 to 3, vary the TEST knob and determine that the RAISE and LOWER LEDs operate on either side of the voltage setting. With an LED lit, determine that the corresponding relay operates after the set time. Disconnect the P.T. voltage.Connect the lead for terminal 7 to the lead for terminal 8 with a clip lead. Apply motor voltage. Ascertain that the motor runs in the Raise direction.

Remove power and connect the lead for terminal 8 to the lead for terminal 9.Reapply motor power and ascertain that the motor runs in the Lower direction.

Disconnect power and reconnect leads to terminals 7,8 and 9.Apply both P.T. and motor voltages.

Using the TEST knob, exercise the entire control and tapchanger switch by getting a Raise light and determining that the switch raises after an appropriate time for the timer to time out.W Repeat with a setting that gives a Lower light.With some load on the transformer, measure the current in the wire from terminal 4. This should be 0.2 A multiplied by the fraction of full load on the transformer.

If correct, reconnect the lead to terminal 4. If the transformer is energized when making this connection, be sure to first short the C.T secondary.

TEST CIRCUIT This circuit permits checking the band limits as well as the operation of the tapchanger.

Voltmeter terminals are ordinarily provided external to this control and tied to terminals 2 and 3 of the control. Connect a voltmeter of not less than 500 fQ per V to these terminals.

With the TESTIOPERATE switch on TEST, vary the TEST knob and read the voltage where the band edge LEDs just light. By waiting for the timer to time out with one of the LEDs lit, operation of the tapchanger can be checked. In making this check, the potential must be approximately equal to the setting of the VOLTAGE knob asit would be in practice (but might not be in a laboratory test setup). The circuit depends on the voltmeter burden to lower the voltage. If the voltmeter burden is more than 500 0 per V, connect a 50 K resistor across the voltmeter terminals or from 2 to 3 of the M-0067 control. If the voltmeter burden is appreciably less than 500 D per V, the TEST knob will be inaccurate and damage could result to the unit.0 WARNING: Some motors must be stopped in order to startin the properdirection.

With such motors, never set the timer less than the lime it takes the motor to stop. In such a case a setting of 15 seconds or more is safe..0 Tests indicate all M-0067E units will pass the Surge Withstand Capability (SWC) test per ANSI standard C37.90.1-1989.

Since serial number 5500, all units have been tested per this standard before shipment a il LL II, I I--a *le t m FIGURE 8 Component Location Eg...low i

  • MAINTENANCE Due to the extremely sophisticated nature of the circuitry in the M-0067, field repair is not recommended.

All units are fully calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; there is not need to re-calibrate a unit prior to initial installation.

Calibration is only required after a component is replaced.

In the event that a unit does not operate properly, it should be established that the problem is caused by malfunction of a Beckwith unit and not caused by an external fault or wiring error. Once this is assured, the entire unit should be returned toBeckwith Electric.Pack the unit carefully (in the original carton if possible), assuring that there is adequate packing material to protect the contents.0 NOTE: Any equipment returned for repair must be sent with transportation charges prepaid. The equipment must remain the property of the user. The warranty is void if the value of the unit is invoiced to Beckwith Electric at the time of return or If the unit is returned with transportation charges collect.If under warranty, units will be repaired rapidly and returned at no cost and with return transportation paid if the fault is found to be due to workmanship or failure of material.

If a unit is under warranty and express shipment for return of the repaired unit is requested, shipping charges will be billed at the current rate. If the fault is due to abuse or misuse, or if the unit is out of warranty, a modest charge will be made. Repair can normally be expected to take two weeks, plus shipping time. If faster service is required, it should be requested at the time of return.0 E NOTE: Units returned with only a blown fuse are not covered by warranty and a nominal repair charge will be made for replacement of the fuse. Please check the fuses before returning the M-0067 for repair in order to avoid unnecessary repair charges.To help in analyzing the problem, a complete description of the malfunction and conditions leading to the failure should be included with the unit.However, if you choose to repair the unit, it is necessary to be completely familiar with the circuitry involved, and have an adequate understanding of field effect devices. Be sure to carefully read the WARNING page at the beginning of this manual.If Fl blows, it is surely due to the failure of another component, which should be identified and replaced together with the fuse.It is suggested that first a visual inspection be made for any component that does not appear normal or appears to have overheated.

Analysis of the circuit will then often lead to the cause of the failure and components that need to be replaced.If no obvious problems exist, it is suggested that the TEST PROCEDURES be followed until a portion of a circuit is detected which does not perform as expected or until a calibration point is found which will not meet requirements.

These procedures should lead to a determination of the defective component.

It is suggested that each knob be moved rapidly back and forth a dozen times or so during routine maintenance.once or twice a year. This will remove dirt or oxidation from the contacting elements within the control so as to assure trouble-free operation.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR CONTROL THROUGH TESTING This solid-state control is in many ways more rugged, less affected by changes in temperature, and less sensitive to shock and vibration than the earlier electromechanical controls.

It is possible to damage the circuits, however, by introduction of excessive voltage through improper test procedures.

Therefore, a series of don'ts: 1. Don't hi-pot one terminal at a time to ground. When this is done to TBI-10, TB1-11, TB1-12 or TB1-13;excessive 60 Hz currents may flow through the stray capacity of the circuit to the panel and damage semiconductors.

2. Don't make measurements from "hot" 120 V ac to terminals TB1-10, TB1-11, TB1-12, TB1-13 or to any points within the circuit. In particular, a low impedance ac voltmeter will introduce sufficient current into these terminals to damage semiconductors.
3. Don't apply the SWC Test (ANSI C37.90.1-1989) to terminals TB1-10, TBl-11, TB3-12 or TB1-13. To do so may cause damage to Q3 and Q4.A CAUTION: In testing the unit, make certain that the motor starterand motor operate off a supply other than the test supply for the unit. If this is not done, the current drawn by the motor and starter may drop the voltage back within the band when checking the Lower operation.

This will cause an oscillation which must be correctly attributed to the test circuit and Is not an Indication of improper operation of the control.Any attempt to measure resistance between points on the printed circuit board may cause damage to the unit.

TEST PROCEDURE Please refer to the WARNING page at the beginning of this manual before proceeding.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED 1. Regulated 60 Hz source with variable amplitude from 60 to 140 V rms.2. 200 mA, 60 Hz current source with phase angle settings of 0( to +900.3. High impedance true rms digital voltmeter with accuracy on ac of at least +/-0.1% of reading.4. Solder sucking syringe or solder wick.5. Soldering iron-Weller Controlled Output Soldering Station Model MTCPC, 60 W, 120 V, 50/60 Hz or equivalent with grounded tip.6. An accurate stopwatch or timing device.HINTS IN MEASUREMENS WIf possible, use a regulated ac voltage supply; however, this should not be the saturable core type regulator which has a severely distorted output.In setting up the resistive current, use of a 100 ohm non-inductive 25 W resistor and 25 ohm potentiometer in series is suggested.

The potentiometer should be at least 2 W and preferably carbon-ceramic construction.

This will assure in-phase current and smooth current adjustment.

In checking the voltage and bandwidth controls, move the test voltage slowly to allow the output of the C6-C-C8 filter network to catch up.In checking the line drop compensator, polarity must be observed, otherwise a 180' error will occur. See Figure 4 Schematic for standard polarity marking.REMOVING THE PRINTED CIRBCUIT BOARD The circuit board and panel can be easily separated leaving a completely functional circuit. To do this, remove the knobs using a small screwdriver.

Remove the nuts securing the switches and knobs. Remove all screws showing on the outside of the panel. Remove the panel. Any component can now be easily changed.U NOTE. The M-0067 printed circuit board is coated with a moisture resistant conformal coating. This coating must be removed from areas where components are to be replaced.Carefully scrape away the coating surrounding the component using a small, sharp knife, being careful not to damage the printed circuit board.0 To replace a component, dip out the old component and discard. Remove the clipped wire using the solder wick or syringe. Be sure to leave the holes clear to facilitate insertion of the new component.

A CAUTION: Do not attempt to melt the solder and push the component through the hole as the component lead is likely to catch the edge of the foil and lift it off the board.In replacing integrated circuits, make sure to insert the new unit into the transipad so that the tab fits into the slot.Once this is done, there is only one correct way to insert the combination into the printed circuit board.To reassemble the unit, place the panel over the controls and secure with the screws previously removed.Replace the TEST knob nut and knob. Turn the knob shafts counter-clockwise and replace the pointer knobs with the pointer at the minimum calibration point. Before tightening the setscrew, back out the locking knob and temporarily place a thin cardboard spacer under the knob so as to space it about 0.010' away from the panel.I NOTEh The set screws securing the knobs may "seize" and be difficult to remove. If so, apply a drop of penetrating oil and try again.WMAE-SHAPE With 120 V ac from TBi-I to TBI-3, the waveshape from TPI to TP2 (high) should be as follows: Very Fine Vertical Line Figure 9 Waveslape If the waveshape is found to differ, then QI or a closely associated component may be defective.

POWER SUPPLY Connect 120 V ac from TBI-l to 'rBl-3. Check to see that the following dc voltages are obtained.Across C9 24 V dc Unregulated Across D3 15 Vdc R21-R33 junction to 0 V 12 V dc (Trimmer R23 should vary this voltage)D14 (Anode) toO0 V -12 Vdc D14 (Cathode stripe) toO0 V -6 Vdc-22--

VOLTAGE AND BANDWIDTH W Place theTEST/OPERATE switch in theTEST position.

Connect an accurate ac voltmeter from TB1-2 to T13-3. Vary the uncalibrated TEST knob and see that the RAISE and LOWER LEDs light at correct voltages with some dead band where both are extinguished.

Set theTOTAL BANDWIDTH knob to 2.0 and adjust trimmer R28 to give 2 V bandwidth.

Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND dial to 125 and the TOTAL BANWIDTH knob to 1.0. Adjust R23 so that 25 V is in the center of the band as indicated by the RAISE and LOWER LEDs. Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob to 110 and adjust R31 so that 110 V is in the center of the band. Recheck 125 V and the bandwidth; these cahlbrations should not have changed.Note that the TEST knob (R3) will only raise the voltage 5% from the P.T. voltage. The higher the voltmeter current, the more the voltage will be lowered.TIMER Connect a reversing type motor starter from TB1-7 and TB1-9 to the low side of a 120 V ac supply. This source need not be regulated, and may be the same source that is used for calibration procedures.

Connect the high side of this supply to TB1-8. If a motor starter is not available, two 60 W light bulbs may be connected from TBI1-7 and TB1-9 to the low side of the ac supply.Set the TIME knob to 0. The appropriate lamps or portion of the motor starter should operate immediately after the RAISE or LOWER LED comes on as the test voltage is moved suddenly out of the dead band.Set the TIME knob on 40. The output device should now operate 40 seconds after the voltage is moved suddenly out of the band. If not, adjust trimmer R39 to give the proper 40 seconds time. This procedure can be shortened by quickly adjusting R39. The device will then time out a bit later, and at least close to the desired 40 seconds on the first try.RESISTANCE COMPENSATION Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob on 120. Connect a separate variable ac voltage from the output of a phase shifter through a 600 0, 10 W non-inductive resistor and ac ammeter from TB1-4 to TB1-3. Set the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR X knob on zero and the R knob on 12. Set the current to 0.2 A, angle to 00. Adjust R4 so that with current present, the voltage at the center of band is increased precisely 12 V. Note that the voltage on TB11-2 is not affected by this current but that the setpoint rises 12 V.REACTANCE COMPENSATION Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob to 120.0 V rms. Set the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on DIRECT, with the X knob at 24 V, and the R knob at 0. Apply 0.1 A in-phase current; adjust R7 for 0.6 V decrease in bandcenter to 119A V.With the X knob at 24 V, and the R knob at 0, apply 0.1 A capacitive current (9 0 0 leading).

Adjust R8 for 108 V bandeenter with the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on DIRECT and 132 V bandcenter with the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on REVERSE.PARALLELING COMPENSATION.Switch connections from TB1-4 and T131-3 toTBI-6 and T11-5 respectively.

Set the current at 0.1 A and its phase angle 900 lagging. The center of band should now be close to 132 V.

The motor control circuit uses electromechanical contactors and relays which are both mechanically and electrically interlocked to insure positive operation of the Load Tap Changer motor.McGraw-Edison utilizes two similar, but slightly differ-ent, motor control panels: 1) To control a 115 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz reversible motor, 2) To control a 230 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz reversible motor.Operating the Load Tap Changer from one operating position to another requires a single electrical control signal to initialize the motor control system. This electrical control signal or momentary contact must be closed from 0.10 to 0.25 second duration, to ensure proper operation of the motor control system. The LTC drive mechanism then completes the tap change without any interruption.

Automatic braking following a tap change is accom-plished bythe trouble-free DC braking method (DC voltage is applied to the motor windings in parallel), incorporating an auxiliary step-down transformer and a full wave rectifier.

Current limiting time delay fuse(s) protect the LTC supply circuitand a fuse protects the DC braking circuit. A breaker is provided for protection of the LTC drive mechanism motor.Hand-operated control switches are normally provided in the control cabinet so that the Load Tap Changer mecha-nism may be operated during installation or periods of preventive maintenance.

All control circuits must be ener-gized and functioning properly.

The Load Tap Changer switching mechanism may be energized and carrying load.COMPONENTS The actual components furnished on any specific unit, along with their ratings, may be determined by reading the parts description contained on the LTC Schematic draw-ings issued with that particular unit. The connections to these components are also shown on these same draw-in 9 The motor control panel is usually equipped with the following components:

1. Motor Reversing Contactors (84R and 84L)These contactors control the application of AC voltage to the LTC motor windings when a tap change is initialized.

These contactors are mounted on a common base and are electrically and mechanically interlocked with each other. Each contactor is also equipped with additional contacts to provide electrical interlocking between the LTC motor AC running and DC braking circuits.2. Motor Braking Contactor (84D)This contactor controls the application of the DC volt-age to the LTC motor windings in parallel, and is part of the automatic DC braking circuit. The duration of this application is controlled by the DC braking timing relay (62A). This contactor is equipped with additional con-tacts to provide electrical interlocking between the motor DC braking and AC running circuits.3. Sequential Timing Relay (33A)This relay provides an immediate seal-in of a single electrical control signal to initialize a tap change op-eration. It also provides a controlled time delay at the completion of the braking cycle to assure positive operation of the Load Tap Changer.4. DC Power Source This source is derived from a circuit consisting of a fuse, an auxiliary step-down transformer (T84), and a full wave rectifier (two diodes, D84A & D84B, on a heat sink). The transformer connections are determined by the motor used with the Load Tap Changer drive mechanism.

5. DC Braking Timing Relay (62A)This timing relay determines the duration of the DC braking action. The relay is equipped with a normally open contact which closes immediately when the relay is energized by the operation of either the 84R or 84L contactor.

The 62A contact stays closed for approxi-mately two seconds after the 84R or 84L contactor has been released, to energize the motor braking contactor (84D).6. Motor Breaker (8-84)The motor breaker is provided and wired for motor protection only. The number of poles and current rating of the breaker are determined by the Load Tap Changer mechanism motor requirements.

7. Operation Counter (OC)The operation counter keeps an accumulative total of.the number of electrically controlled (motor driven) tap change operations of the LTC mechanism.
8. FusesCAUTION DO NOT REMOVE ANY FUSE UNDER LOAD. FUSE BLOCKS ARE FOR DISCONNECT USE ONLY.WIRING ACAUTION DO NOT TOUCH BARE WIRES,-UVE PARTS, OR TERMINALS, TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Separate fuses protect the control circuits, DC braking circuit, and auxiliary circuits.

A fuse has been provided in the motor control circuitto prevent electrical operation of the LTC mechanism in the event of DC braking circuit failure. All of the fuses are 250 volt cartridge type;however, the ampere rating and type depend on the application.

Many units are furnished with special equipment.

Consult the wiring diagrams furnished with each specific unit for customer conforming variations.

The LTC Schematic drawings which accompany each unit must be consulted before making the power supply connections.

I & -CAUTION INCORRECTSUPPLY VOLTAGE MAY DAMAGETHE CONTROLS.

REFER TO LTC SCHEMATIC DRAW-INGS.I NOTICE THE PULL-OUT FUSE BLOCK (FBA) USED IN THE MOTOR CONTROL AND SOURCE CIRCUITS HAS BEEN FURNISHED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS FUSE BLOCK SHOULD BE PULLED OPEN TO PROVIDE A VISUAL DISCONNECT WHEN SERVIC-ING THE CONTROL CIRCUITS, MOTOR CIRCUITS, LTC DRIVE MECHANISM OR LTC SWITCH.IA 9. Heater Switch (43H)This ON-OFF switch controls the space heater(s) located in the cabinet. It is recommended that the heater(s) be left on at all times to prevent moisture condensation and attendant corrosion.
