TITLE(s): REGULATOR INSPECTOR (utilities)
Inspects, tests, and maintains voltage regulators and auxiliary equipment that control line
voltage within specified range: Tightens connections and replaces defective regulator parts, such as
motor controls, fuses, or capacitors. Observes readings and calculates line-drop compensator
settings which allow for resistance and reactance voltage drops in primary feeder and main circuits.
Adjusts line-drop compensators and reads meters to sustain voltage within specified range. Computes
electrical characteristics, such as impedance, power factor, and phase angle. Oils moving parts of
regulator and changes oil in motor-bearing housings. Files contact points to remove carbon and
provide smooth surface for electrical contact. Clips voltmeter to regulator and records voltage on
inspection report. Sends defective motors and parts to repair department. May make voltmeter and
ammeter tests on transmission lines and auxiliary equipment. Compiles service report indicating
parts replaced and corrections made in voltage range and transformer ratios. May order replacement
parts to replenish inventories. May set regulator to deliver specified constant voltage before
removing motor for repair to avoid interruption to service.
