Voltage regulators

Pad-mount voltage regulator

Eaton's Cooper Power series pad-mounted voltage regulators provide state-of-the-art voltage regulation while reducing installation costs and preserving site aesthetics. The pad-mounted voltage regulator, in conjunction with pad-mounted transformers and switchgear, can be used to create low-profile modular substations. These low-profile substations will be unobtrusive and can usually be installed without fencing and possibly in shared rights-of-way locations. Pad-mounted voltage regulator offerings include single-phase, and 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 versions which utilize the CL-7 multi-phase voltage regulator control with advanced smart grid features designed with the future in mind.

Integrated volt-var compensation benefits

In this video, experts from Eaton's Power Systems Experience Center (PSEC) explain the methods and benefits of integrated volt-var compensation using voltage regulators and power factor correction to optimize voltage quality on utility power systems.

Pad-mounted step voltage regulation to meet power quality requirements

Voltage regulators provide regulation in 32 steps (approximately 5/8% per steps) for a maximum of ± 10% in wye-connected banks. Single-phase and 3-in-1 pad-mounted voltage regulators add a dimension to underground system planning by providing system planners freedom to improve the safety, reliability and power quality in existing and new underground distribution systems.

Improved safety and reliability

Pad-mounted voltage regulators meet industry standards for tamper-resistance and provide the consistent reliability expected from Eaton. The pad-mounted voltage regulator provides all the functionality of traditional round tank pole-mounted and substation-mounted regulators, with the convenience of pad-mounting. The Internal Differential Potential Transformer (IDPT) is standard. The IDPT, paired with the CL-7 control’s Safe-To-Bypass feature, provides an effortless method for measuring the voltage difference between the “S” and “L” bushings. A Safe-To-Bypass indication shows on the control LCD display ensuring it is safe to perform a bypass operation.

Reduced costs with low-profile installation

The multi-phase pad-mounted voltage regulator provides state-of-the-art voltage regulation while both reducing installation costs and maintaining visual aesthetics. With a lower profile footprint than traditional overhead installations, they can be discretely installed in sensitive residential and commercial areas.

Advanced CL-7 voltage regulator control

The CL-7 voltage regulator control meets the needs of system planners today and in the future with integrated SCADA componentry and continuously evolving features. Advanced features enable easy integration into a smart grid enabled network because the CL-7 voltage regulator control is designed with communications and smart grid features in mind. The multi-phase option to operate two or three regulators provides a single point for SCADA communications reducing costly equipment.
