Voltage regulators “X” series
The new “X” series is suitable for low power between 100 and 1.700 VA.
The “X” regulators have reduced dimensions.
General features are similar to traditional model (V3, V5) that are described at pag. 4 and 6.

Remote voltage program board 0-10 Vd.c.
This option provides control voltage by an electronic board having an input signal from a PLC
0-10 Vdc and supplying an output signal (go-stop) to a gear motor of variac.
As input signal changes from zero up to 10V output voltage, i.e. voltage supplied by variac
changes from zero to maximum rated voltage.
Output voltage is directly proportional to output signal, i.e. if signal is 5 V output voltage will be
just half of maximum voltage. Output voltage can be controlled also by a potentiometer (remo-
te control).

Three-phase — star connection (Fig. 43)
The most commonly used three-phase circuit is the star
connection of a three-gang assembly, in which the line-
to-neutral voltage (phase voltage) is applied across each
variable autotransformer unit. 240 volt models are used
on 415/240 volt supplies, and 120 volt models on
208/210 volt supplies, in either line-voltage or over-vol-
tage connection. Note that the star point must always be
connected as shown; otherwise an excessive voltage
could be applied to one variable autotransformer.
For increased power rating in the largest models (series
T 70 NA/6) a six-gang star-parallel assembly can be
used, having a parallel-connected pair of autotransfor- Fig. 43 - Three-gang star connection
