What this block does
Provides the selected current and voltage quantities used by line-drop compensation.
A simple example
In a substation, a voltage regulator can request a tap change and check the resulting tap-position feedback. A separate controller stages cooling equipment according to the transformer manufacturer's defined conditions. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Voltage and current measurements” at the input and “Compensated regulation quantity” at the output. Compensation parameters follow the network model.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Voltage and current measurements. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Compensated regulation quantity. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Provides the selected current and voltage quantities used by line-drop compensation. Transformer regulation changes the selected winding connection to influence voltage, while cooling control manages the installed fans and pumps. Commands, mechanical position and measured results belong to different parts of the diagram.
In a substation, a voltage regulator can request a tap change and check the resulting tap-position feedback.

For this reference, the drawing identifies “Voltage and current measurements” at the input and “Compensated regulation quantity” at the output. Compensation parameters follow the network model.
Keep tap-change permission, limit contacts, movement indication and measured voltage distinct. Actual tap positions, time delays, cooling ratings and allowable parallel operation require the selected transformer control design. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.

A distinction that matters
Compensation parameters follow the network model. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.
