REO is an original manufacturer of high quality power equipment, including electronic controllers, components and electrical regulators.
The NLR 7000 is a combined comparator and 3-phase servo-motor drive unit designed specifically for use with motorised variable-transformers in voltage regulating or stabilising systems. The required voltage level can be set internally through the digital control-panel or by using an external set-point source which can be a potentiometer or an analogue voltage or current signal. Motor voltage, frequency and response characteristics are set by using the digital control-panel.
The controller normally operates in automatic mode but it can be switched to manual for setting up purposes. It also has a zero-volts homing function for putting the system into a safe position, when required. Limit-switch inputs are also provided to ensure that the variable-transformer cannot be driven into its end-stops.
There are analogue outputs available, which provide signals for measuring the actual output voltage and current.
