Siemens 21-115532-001 Placing The Regulator In Service, Before Connecting, Switching “On-Line”

PLACING THE REGULATOR IN SERVICE

Page 9

The following checks will be useful in assuring the regulator is ready for use. The list cannot be all inclusive; careful at- tention on the part of a qualified operator remains imperative.

BEFORE CONNECTING

•Check oil level at oil sight window. If low, add sufficient oil (ASTM D-3487 Type II) to bring to desired level.

•Check oil dielectric strength per ASTM D 877. If found below 25kV, oil should be changed or reconditioned. Reference ANSI C57.106-2002. Note: Oil tests are not required for new equipment.

•Perform insulation power factor test per ANSI C57.15. Maximum value is 2.0%.

•Verify from the nameplate that the unit is connected for the proper output voltage, motor voltage and control panel voltage.

•Assure that the regulator is on the neutral tap position. This should be accomplished by observing the position indicator pointer and by powering the control from a 120V external source and observing the NeutraliteTM to be illuminated.

BEFORE CONNECTING

•Identify 'S', 'L' and 'SL' bushings on the cover. Make elec- trical connections per the appropriate installation diagrams, page 4, first connecting 'SL' bushing.

•Set Vari-AmpTMlimits on position indicator, if necessary. See Page 11.

•Set Accu/StatTM Control as desired. See Accu/StatTM instruction manual.

SWITCHING “ON-LINE”

•Improper by-pass operation will result in explosion and fire hazard. Will cause serious injury, death or equipment damage.

•Do NOT place into service unless tap-changer is in neutral position AND control panel is properly disabled.

Improper By-Pass operation will result in explosion and fire hazard. Will cause serious injury, death or equipment damage.

To Prevent:

Do NOT install OR remove from

service unless Tap Changer is in neutral position AND Control Panel is properly disabled to prevent tap changes while in By-Pass configuration. Read Operators Manual before attempting to By- Pass this Regulator.

Follow instructions to place into service:

1.Place the Auto/Manual switch in the By-Pass position

2.Place the Raise/Lower switch in "Off"

3.Make certain regulator is in neutral (N) position

4.Turn voltage power source switch to "Off"

5.Remove power fuse

6.Close, sequentially, the source and load switches

7.Open the bypass switch

8.Visually observe that bypass circuit has opened

9.Replace power fuse

10.Place voltage power source switch to "Normal."

CHECKING REGULATOR OPERATION

1.Refer to applicable Accu/StatTM Control instruction manual.)Turn the Tap Control switch to MANUAL.

2.Run the tapchanger in the lower direction, at least until the control is observed to go out of band "LOW".

3.Turn the Tap Control switch to AUTO. After a time delay, the regulator will return to an "IN" band condition.

4.Turn the Tap Control switch to MANUAL.

5.Run the tapchanger in the raise direction, at least until the control is observed to go out of band "HIGH".

6.Turn the Tap Control switch to AUTO. After a time delay, the regulator will return to an "IN" band condition.
