Vertically integrated 3-phase regulator manufacturing

As a vertically integrated manufacturer of 3-phase regulators, Siemens Energy offers distinct advantages. All of our 3-phase regulators are engineered and manufactured in-house.

Our expertise in both technology and service gives us an additional advantage in the custom engineering necessary for most 3-phase regulator applications. The SFR voltage regulator has proven its reliability and durability in the toughest environments. Unit construction, tough exterior coating and side inspection door are just a few of the time-tested features of today's SFR.

SFR-X — separate tap-changing mechanism compartment

In addition, Siemens Energy offers the popular SFR-X which features a separate tap-changing mechanism compartment, allowing for easy inspection and maintenance. Separating the regulator tap-changer significantly increases the life of the regulator by eliminating arcing in the main tank containing the coil and core.

SFR modifications

The datasheet lists the following available SFR modifications: magnetic temperature indicator; pressure relief device; lightning arrester brackets; magnetic type liquid level indicator; pressure/vacuum gauge; special bushings; MR tap changer; separate tap changer compartment (available with SFR-X and SFR-MR); customized controls; special CT/PT.

Catalog ratings — nominal voltage, rated kVA, line amps, cooling

The full catalog-number rating table as printed in the datasheet. Catalog series 40-… units are OA-cooled and series 41-… units are FA-cooled; the middle segment of the catalog number encodes the nominal voltage class (13.2 = 13200 V, 34.5 = 34500 V) and the last segment the rated kVA. The datasheet gives no further electrical parameters (no impulse levels, regulation range or standards references) beyond this table.
