Beckwith Electric M-2230 Adapter Panel

Adapts M‑2001 Series Digital Tapchanger Control to replace Reinhausen

MK30 Control

• Connects easily to the M‑2001 Series Digital Tapchanger Control, using

four mounting screws and a 24‑pin connector

• Provides direct mechanical and electrical replacement of the Reinhausen

MK30 Control

• Uses existing MK30 enclosure

• Provides built‑in shorting protection when the M‑2001 Series Digital

Tapchanger Control is removed

The M‑2230 Adapter Panel combines with the M‑2001 Series Digital 

Tapchanger Control to provide convenient, direct mechanical replacement

for the Reinhausen MK30 control in the existing enclosure.

M‑2230 Differences Relative to the MK30 – Revised connections will be

needed if paralleling transformers using the circulating current method with

the Reinhausen SKB5 or SKB‑20 Parallel Control Units. (Please contact

Beckwith Electric Company for further information.)

If paralleling transformers using the SKB‑30 Electronic Parallel Control, then

the M‑2230 cannot be used.

The M‑2230 provides one normally open contact for the Raise and Lower

outputs. The MK30 normally closed contacts for Raise and Lower are not

provided on the M‑2230. The Adapter Panel provides one status contact

that may be programmed to close when the control is blocking for

overcurrent, overvoltage, or undervoltage.

Interface

External connections are made to one terminal block, located on a separate

(provided) bracket which mounts within the existing enclosure.

Features

Fuse for voltage sensing is on the front panel. A spare fuse is provided within

the fuse housing.

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch.

Testing Specifications

High Voltage: All input and output terminals will withstand 1500 Vac rms to

chassis or instrument ground for one minute with a leakage current not to

exceed 25 mA, for all terminals to ground. Input and output circuits are

electrically isolated from each other, from other circuits, and from ground.

Surge Withstand Capability: All input and output circuits are protected against

system transients. Units pass all requirements of ANSI/IEEE C.37.90.1-1989

defining surge withstand capability.

Radiated Electromagnetic Withstand Capability: All units are protected against

electromagnetic radiated interference from portable communications transceivers

as outlined in ANSI/IEEE C37.90.2-1987 defining radiated electromagnetic

withstand capability.

Environmental

Temperature Range: Functionality is maintained from ‑40° to +85° C.

Humidity: Functionality is maintained under 95% relative humidity (non‑condensing).

Fungus Resistance: A conformal printed circuit board coating inhibits fungal growth.
