the new tapcon® voltage regulator is based on the new Ism® technology, which offers the greatest fl exibility even with regard to future requirements. In addition to simple regulation tasks, tapcon® also supports complex special applications such as the regulation of three-winding transformers, transformer banks, phase shifters, and shunt reactors. our modular system enables you to precisely match the regulator’s performance spectrum to your individual requirements.

During the development of the new tapcon® we also gave consideration to the challenges of tomorrow. with its new regulation algorithms, such as the tapcon® Dynamic set point control (tDsc) function, tapcon® now offers, for example, a solution to the challenges resulting from the decentralized input of photovoltaic facilities.

for more than 40 years voltage regulators from the tapcon® series have been synonymous with reliability without compromise. this is one of the reasons why mR is currently the world leader in voltage regulation. we have now concentrated our wealth of experience in the newest tapcon® generation. the result: the best mR voltage regulator ever.

maximum operating reliability and data security

tapcon® keeps your data secure at all times and our role-based password concept protects against unauthorized use. furthermore, tapcon® supports all common communication protocols and is also suitable for inclusion in redundant grid systems with Rstp and pRp protocols. the operator is free to select the data transmission medium thereby ensuring communication without delay even if the connection with the control system is interrupted.

proven quality in every detail

all of our products fulfi ll the highest quality, dependability, and and robustness requirements. Extensive part tests conducted in accordance with IEc 61010 for every assembly group ensure the faultless quality of the new tapcon®. all devices pass through automatic optical inspections, in-circuit tests and run-in tests. automated fi nal testing also checks the delivery confi guration of every individual device. all of these actions combine to ensure maximum reliability for later operation.

ISM® Technology is the consistent hardware and soft-ware basis which is now available for use in all MR automation solutions

The hardware components and the universal software architecture are characterized by user friendliness and flexibility. And, naturally, the system is designed for the special requirements of energy technology with regard to long life, dependability, and robustness.

ISM® Technology is openly and flexibly conceived and therefore facilitates the implementation of standard products as well as the realization of individual requirements of substation automation. Regardless of application, users benefit from consis-tent components, tools and operating interfaces – in short: the ISM® Intuitive Control Interface (IICI).
