Updated: 2026-11-03
Lookup label: TCSR
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: Manufacturer

Representation: Functional block
Installation focus: substations
Input: Additional cooling demand
Output: Second cooling-group command

Requests the next defined cooling group when the selected control condition is reached.

## In plain English

### What this block does

Requests the next defined cooling group when the selected control condition is reached.

### 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 “Additional cooling demand” at the input and “Second cooling-group command” at the output. A stage number does not establish a thermal rating.

### What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Additional cooling demand. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Second cooling-group command. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

### Terms

- Input: Additional cooling demand
- Output: Second cooling-group command
- Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

## What it represents

Requests the next defined cooling group when the selected control condition is reached. 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. A separate controller stages cooling equipment according to the transformer manufacturer's defined conditions. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Additional cooling demand” at the input and “Second cooling-group command” at the output. A stage number does not establish a thermal rating.
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.

## How to read it

- Start at the named input: Additional cooling demand. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Second cooling-group command. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- A stage number does not establish a thermal rating.
- 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.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the source and connection reference for additional cooling demand.
- Identify the destination and defined state of second cooling-group command.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: A stage number does not establish a thermal rating.

## Important distinction

A stage number does not establish a thermal rating. 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.

## Facts

- Representation: Functional block
- Installation focus: Substations
- Input / boundary: Additional cooling demand
- Output / connection: Second cooling-group command
- Lookup label: TCSR is a library lookup label, not a standard device designation.
