When the module is used in parallel operation attention should be paid to the settings of U T1 and T2 as follows: All voltage regulating modules operating in parallel must have the same voltage setting as they control transformers feeding the same busbar. If the value of one of the voltage regulating modules is higher than that of the others, the resulting voltage level will be higher than desired, because it will be determined by the mean value of the U...
