What considerations must be taken into account when placing a voltage regulator on a feeder with varying load tap positions?

Placing a voltage regulator on a feeder requires careful consideration, especially when dealing with varying load tap positions, to ensure optimal voltage regulation and prevent adverse effects. The primary consideration is the location of the voltage regulator relative to the load tap changers (LTCs). The voltage regulator should be placed far enough downstream from the substation LTC so that it doesn't interfere with the LTC's operation. If the regulator is too close, it may attempt to correct voltage variations that the LTC is already addressi....
