  • The ongoing challenge is how to continually meet the

    increasing demand for clean, reliable power. The more

    we use computers, communications, and automation in

    our daily lives, the more susceptible we become to

    power quality disturbances.

    For efficient, reliable, cost-effective voltage regulation,

    voltage regulators from Cooper Power Systems (Cooper)

    are the best solution. Our voltage regulators are used

    throughout the world, offering distinct regulator types to

    suit the needs of particular applications.

    For more than 50 years, Coopers voltage regulator line

    has been recognized as an industry leader for high

    quality, superior performance, and unmatched service.

    Our voltage regulators accurately keep voltage levels

    within programmed limitsfor improved power quality

    and valuable distribution automation databoth

    automatically and inexpensively.

    Our 32-step regulators and

    controls have been an

    industry standard for years

    and are available in pole-,

    platform-, pad-mounted and

    substation configurations,

    suitable for three- or

    four-wire overhead and

    underground systems.

  • Example: Total System Savings*

    Regulator InstallationReduced communications configuration - CL-5 Series Control Communications Emulation $3,000$5,000

    Monthly Maintenance CostsEliminate service trip to operate tap-changer - PMT Mode A $5,200$7,200

    Reduce profiler download frequency - increased memory $2,000$3,600

    Bi-Yearly Maintenance CostsEliminate service trip to operate reversing switch - PMT Mode B $800$1,200

    Contact Wear Maintenance CostsExtend maintenance beyond 4 years or 100,000 operations - Duty Cycle Monitor

    Removal from service cost (crew, crane, trucking) $5,000$7,500Shop costs (untank and inspect contacts) $1,000$1,500Return to service cost (crew, crane, trucking) $5,000$7,500

    Removal from ServiceEliminate unplanned outage or failure due to over-worn contacts Duty Cycle Monitor Alarm $450,000$600,000

    Predictable ProceedsSave time and money by improving maintenancecrew efficiency and scheduling with the Duty Cycle Monitor predictive maintenancefeaturenow standard in our Voltage Regulators. Thewinning combination of the CL-6A Regulator Controland Quik-Drive Tap-Changer allows you to collectdata to predict and accurately measure the tap-changercontact wear. Schedule maintenance based on anactual need rather than calendar cycles. Dont becaught by unplanned outages.

    Profitable MaintenanceThe CL-6A Regulator Control in combination with theQuik-Drive Tap-Changer also allows for PreventiveMaintenance Tapping (PMT). To minimize theeffects of coking on tap-changer contacts and providea periodic operational check, you no longer need tosend a technician to the voltage regulator.

    The two modes of the PMT feature tap automatically,using criteria you establish, such as when load islowat your convenience, day or night.

    PMT also extends the life of the tap-changer contacts,reducing maintenance costs and minimizing crewtime.

    Remote RewardsIn todays information world, Supervisory Controland Data Acquisition, or SCADA, enables you toanalyze your system and take action to reduce costsand improve performance from one control center.Cooper voltage regulators make communicating fastand easy. With their digital communications capabili-ty, any function that can be performed locally can beperformed remotely via phone or fiber-optic lines.
