Switching tap changers from auto to manual while harmonics are filtered can disrupt the balance in a parallel transformer setup supplying variable speed drives (VSDs). The tap changers help manage RMS voltage and prevent circulating currents, which is crucial for maintaining system stability. When harmonics are filtered out, the transformers' vector groups must be correctly configured to handle neutral current harmonics effectively. Manual operation may lead to unfiltered harmonics affecting performance if not managed properly. Proper selection of transformer configurations and static filters is essential for optimal operation in such scenarios.
