Voltage Regulator
In summary, we tapped a 10% winding in 8 equal parts, giving us 8 steps of 1.25%. The
bridging position between each tap raised the total to 16 steps of 5/8% each. We then will
incorporate a switch which will reverse the Polarity of the series winding. The reversing
switch will allow the Regulator to lower and raise the output voltage in 16 - 5/8% steps in
either direction, covering a range of plus or minus 10% Voltage Regulation.

NOTE 1
The Voltage Source and Internal-Off-External switches are located on the Circuit Board mounted inside
the Cabinet above the Control Module. Refer to Page 7 and the control instruction book (GEH-7311) for
location of the switches detailed in the placing into service and removing from service procedures.
NOTE 2
By-pass switch A and disconnect switches B C, and D must be suitable for interrupting magnetizing
