The MJ-4A Control Panel uses the latest 32-bit microprocessor technology and a user-friendly layout to provide the most advanced tap changer ocntrol. It features full power and energy monitoring, separate forward and reverse regulator settings, event and interval logging, date/time stamping, multiple counters, alert information and more. Standard local communications is provided via a Data Port on the front of the control panel while optional 2-way SCADA communications can be provided through RS232/485 or Fiber Optics connection utilizing popular embedded protocols.
The Communications Module is the interface used to connect the control to SCADA. With multimode fiber optic cable loop or star networks, RS232 multidrop configurations, and RS485 loop, star and open-ended configurations, the communications module is adaptable to any communications system. The Communications Module is easily retrofitted into existing installations or can be shipped installed on new orders.
Connect a control panel to your PC and update to the latest MJ-4A, MJ-XL, or MJ-X embedded software iwth our PC program, MJXtra. (Pre-1996 panels require a "flash" EEPROM to allow for MJXtra upgrades.)
MJXplorer Communication Software (TM) is a Windows (TM) application
MJXplorer Communication Software (TM) is a Windows (TM) application designed to facilitate two-way communications between a PC and MJ-4A/MJ-XL/MJ-X controls, either directly or through off-the-shelf modems. With the MJXplorer software, users can easily perform data extraction or continuous procesing, control configuration, print reports, and transfer data to popular spreadsheets.
The Voltage Regulator Simulator allows you to simulate system conditions for testing your Siemens Tap Changer Control Panels. The Simulator provides variable source volts, load volts and load current, lead, lag, and high power factor indication, an operation counter reset test button and a drag hand reset test button. Built into a rugged case, the Simulator is easy to bring into the field for on-site control testing.
Siemens Polarized Disconnect Switch (PDS) allows a quick and simple means to disconnect the control panel from the voltage regulator. Simply remove two wing nuts and pull the male half away. The PDS is specially designed for voltage regulators as it both removes voltage to the control panel and AUTOMATICALLY shorts out the CT upon disconnection. No special knife switches to throw or sequences to follow. The PDS can be disconnected while the voltage regulator is energized and regardless of tap position. Siemens voltage regulators and controls have been using this same PDS design for over 40 years, so replacing an old control only takes a few minutes.
Retrofit
One disconnection allows faster field replacement with no need to remove the control panel enclosure from its mounting. Siemens regulators provide the easiest, simplest retrofit in the industry, including direct control interchangeability with all JFR Regulators built since 1958.
In any typical electical distribution system, you will find equipment ranging in age from brand-new to 30, 40, or even 50 years old. Often, however, the older equipment is just as serviceable as the newer ones and only differs in the functionality of its controls.
Recently, regulator and tap changer controls have gone through significant technological enhancements that have allowed users to accurarately monitor and control their electrical systems from remote locations, and generally have better control over their business.
With Siemens accessories and retrofit kits, utilities can now economically elevate the performance of older regulators and tap changers to the state-of-the-art level. And Siemens MJ-4A control sets that standard for the industry.
Siemens MJ-4A control will give you the monitoring and data communication you need to succeed now and into the next century. And with unique software packages, future upgrades are a snap.
The Voltage Regulator Retrofit Kit allows you to modernize your Cooper © or GE © regulators with the Siemens MJ-4A Tap Changer Control Panel. This easy-to-install kit, plus a new Siemens Control Panel (sold separately), creates new opportunities for advanced monitoring, communications and control.
