Farady Electronic Tap Switching Voltage Regulator

The typical electronic farady single phase step voltage regulator works very much like the mechanical tap switching regulator – except that it replaces mechanical servo drives and brushes with solid-state semiconductor switches. Rather than using a motor to move brushes connected to the regulator output, the electronic voltage regulator will have taps on the secondary side of the transformer controlled (on or off) by semiconductor high voltage auto load booster switches (like the silicon controlled rectifier – “SCR”).
