1.
that the busbar or load voltage is regulated to a preset target value
2.
that the load is shared between parallel transformers in proportion to their ohmic short
circuit reactance
If the transformers have equal percentage impedance given in the respective transformer MVA
base, the load will be divided in direct proportion to the rated power of the transformers when the
circulating current is minimized.
This method requires extensive exchange of data between the TR8ATCC (90) function blocks (one
TR8ATCC (90) function for each transformer in the parallel group). TR8ATCC (90) function block
can either be located in the same IED, where they are configured in PCM600 to co-operate, or in
different IEDs. If the functions are located in different IEDs they must communicate via GOOSE
interbay communication on the IEC 61850 communication protocol. Complete exchange of
TR8ATCC (90) data, analog as well as binary, via GOOSE is made cyclically every 300 ms.

transformers, and in each TR8ATCC (90) block, the mean value of all V
The resulting value V
thus assuring that the same value is used by all TR8ATCC functions, and thereby avoiding that one
erroneous measurement in one transformer could upset the voltage regulation. At the same time,
supervision of the VT mismatch is also performed. This works such that, if a measured voltage V
differs from V

When the circulating current is known, it is possible to calculate a no-load voltage for each
transformer in the parallel group. To do that the magnitude of the circulating current in each bay,

Now the magnitude of the no-load voltage for each transformer can be approximated with:
