Description

Electron's DVR Digital Voltage Regulating Relay is a device designed to monitor and automatically regulate voltage through on-load tap changers, supporting up to 51 tap positions (ANSI 90). It measures and displays the deviation from the reference voltage, controlling grid voltage and compensating for programmed load profiles. The DVR uses state-of-the-art SMD electronic components and military-grade components, ensuring high quality and durability under extreme application conditions, from power transformer panels to offshore platforms and chemical plants.

Our designs meet the requirements for performance, withstand capability and reliability specified by the world's most demanding standards: IEC, DIN, IEEE and ABNT.
