ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for regulating an electric voltage in at least one of electric supply networks and consumer units. The apparatus includes a regulating transformer arranged between a network node and at least one end consumer. The regulating transformer utilizes a primary winding and a regulating winding which includes switchable partial windings and a high leakage impedance. The transformer conducts a nominal current. A transfer switch switches the partial windings of the regulating transformer. Adjacent tappings of the partial windings are adapted to short circuit such that, in an event of the short circuit, the high leakage impedance limits a ring current which results from the short circuit to an order of magnitude of the nominal current. The regulating transformer produces both an increase in voltage and a decrease in voltage at the end consumer. This abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
