Voltage regulator providing wide range of voltage regulation

摘要

A voltage regulator to provide a wide range of regulation, especially useful with process control. The regulator is provided with an extra bushing connected to the exciting winding of the regulator. By this means two or more regulators may be connected with their exciting windings in parallel and their series windings in series to provide a desired wide range of regulation. The invention also encompasses a selector switch so that the regulator operating at the top of the regulating range may be interchanged with one or more other regulators to alternate the tap-changing duty among the various regulators. Automatic operation of the regulators is disclosed.
