Making voltage regulation the standard for distribution transformers
Utilities face enormous challenges to reinforce, expand and enable power grids to meet the requirements of the next years. Voltage regulating distribution transformers (VRDT) are an effective and sustainable tool to answer these challenges in the distribution network. MR’s latest OLTC for VRDT enables voltage regulation to become a standard function of distribution transformers.
