Position indicating system for remote

indication of tap-changer position

The indicator is a moving-coil instrument.

Available with quadrant scale or ring scale.

Fed by a measuring amplifier.

The output current is independent of load variations up to 750 W.

Suitable for series-connection of more instruments.

Controlled by a potentiometer in the motor-drive.

Adjustment of measuring amplifier (Made in our factory)

1) Adjust the indicator to show "0" position at voltage-free.
2) With the motor-drive in lowest position, the lowest
output current is adjusted by potentiometer "zero" at
the front of the amplifier.
3) With the motor-drive in highest position, the highest
output current is adjusted by potentiometer "max" at
the front of the amplifier.
4) Short-circuit connect tap 1 and 2 of the position trans-
mitter by means of a jumper at the terminal blocks, and
adjust one more time the lowest current by potentio-
meter "zero".
5) Disconnect the jumper and adjust once more the
highest current by potentiometer "max".

position.
If necessary, adjust the pointer by a slight turn of the zero
adjuster screw on the measuring amplifier.
