Abstract :
As one aspect in the design of power distribution systems, the author specifically considers the intervention of voltage regulating apparatus to correct sudden, unpredictable voltage fluctuations beyond equipment tolerances. It is pointed out that saturable core reactors, ferroresonant transformers, and tap switching regulators are designed to regulate voltage to within a specified tolerance. Their major components, construction and operation vary resulting in varying levels of protection, performance and reliability in various applications. A guideline for proper voltage regulator selection is presented
