Abstract :
A step type voltage regulator for electric power feeders has been designed, built, and tested in service, which is provided with steps so small as to give an operating curve as smooth as can be obtained with the induction regulator. In addition, the step type regulator has the advantage of lower cost, higher efficiency, lower exciting current, quieter operation, higher impulse strength, and suitability for high voltage applications.
