Study Notes
Personnel Qualifications
- Electrically skilled persons can independently identify and avoid potential dangers associated with electrical systems.
- They can perform work on electrical systems and are specially trained for their work environment.
- Must comply with statutory regulations for accident prevention.
Electrically Trained Persons
- Receive instruction and guidance from electrically skilled persons about tasks and potential dangers.
- Work exclusively under the supervision of an electrically skilled person to ensure safety and correct handling.
Operators
- Use and operate products as per technical guidelines provided by the operating company.
- Receive instruction and training on specific tasks and the risks of improper handling from the operating company.
Technical Service Recommendations
- Maintenance, repairs, and retrofitting should preferably be conducted by the Technical Service department to ensure proper execution.
- If external personnel are used for maintenance, they must be trained and authorized by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH.
Authorized Personnel
- Specially trained individuals by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH are allowed to carry out specific maintenance tasks.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Essential PPE must be worn during work to minimize health risks.
- Damaged PPE should never be used.
Pipe Connections
- Pipe connection R: Used for attaching protective relay and connecting the on-load tap-changer oil conservator; interchangeable with pipe connection Q.
- Pipe connection E2: Sealed with a blank cover, leads to the transformer oil tank, and assists in pressure equalization necessary for operations like drying and filling with insulating fluid.
Nameplate and Serial Number
- The nameplate, containing the serial number, is located on the on-load tap-changer head cover.
- An additional serial number is also found on the selector component.
Protective Devices
- On-load tap-changers are equipped with protective relays connected to the circuit breaker tripping circuit.
- A fault exceeding allowable flow speed from the tap-changer to the oil conservator trips the relay, de-energizing the transformer.
Connecting On-load Tap-Changer Take-off Lead
- Direct connection: Utilizes a cable shoe and screw, with measures to prevent loosening.
- Take-off ring connection: Requires similar connection with a 2 mm minimum distance from the oil compartment.
Drying Instructions
- Damage can occur if drying methods are improperly applied to the on-load tap-changer accessories.
- Drying steps involve controlled heating and vacuum drying to ensure dielectric values are maintained:
- Increase temperature steadily and maintain a final maximum of 110 °C.
- Conduct vacuum drying within specified temperature ranges for adequate durations.
Securing On-load Tap-Changer Head Cover
- Care must be taken to ensure sealing integrity to prevent insulating fluid escape.
- Ensure proper alignment of markings on cover and use of undamaged o-rings during installation.
Drying Methods in Transformer Tank
- On-load tap-changer can be dried using vacuum-drying or vapor-phase drying.
- Full assembly of the transformer is necessary before undertaking drying activities.
Safety Considerations
- Appropriate and inappropriate use outlined to ensure safe operation of on-load tap-changers.
- Fundamental safety instructions are critical; personnel must be qualified and utilize personal protective equipment effectively.
Product Description
- On-load tap-changers facilitate adjustment of transformer transmission ratios without interrupting load flow.
- Packaged to prevent moisture damage, deliveries usually include diverter switch, motor-drive unit, and technical files.
Functionality of On-load Tap-changer
- Pipe connections (R, E2, Q) serve specific roles, including connecting the protective relay and equalizing pressure in transformer systems.
- Each pipe connection has distinct functionalities essential for maintenance and operation.
Nameplate and Serial Identification
- Nameplates and serial numbers are located on the on-load tap-changer head and selector for easy identification and tracking.
Protective Devices
- Equipped with protective relays that deactivate circuit breakers under fault conditions, safeguarding the system from damage.
- Protective relay monitoring flow speed of insulating fluid ensures timely fault detection.
Drive Shaft Design
- Two models of drive shafts: one includes a cardan joint; the other is a special model without a joint, specific for particular geometrical constraints.
- Minimum configurations and permissible axial offsets are defined to ensure stability and functionality during operation.
Installation and Handling
- Careful mounting procedures are vital; improper handling can damage components.
- The selector weighs up to 165 kg, highlighting the importance of safety during installation to prevent equipment and personal injury.
- Tightening torques during assembly must be adhered to prevent defects in the on-load tap-changer operation.
Safety Considerations
- Proper and inappropriate usage of equipment should be understood to prevent accidents.
- Fundamental safety instructions are vital for personnel working with transformers.
- Personnel qualification ensures that only trained individuals operate or maintain the equipment.
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce the risk of injury from hazardous materials.
Product Description
- The on-load tap-changer operates by changing tap positions under load without interrupting the circuit.
- It includes several key components, notably the drive shaft, bevel gear, and protective devices.
- Drive shafts have a vertical and horizontal orientation connecting different parts of the system, with coupling brackets and bolts.
Drive Shaft Design
- The drive shaft consists of a square tube, specifically designed without a cardan joint or insulator for standard applications.
- An intermediate bearing is required if the permissible axial offset exceeds 2° and measures 2472 mm.
- Components of the drive shaft include a bevel gear, telescopic protective tube, and protective cover.
Commissioning Process
- Ensure the specified insulating fluid, as noted in the manufacturer's guidelines, is used to fill the oil compartment to prevent damage.
- A pressure relief device should be attached if the tap-changer head cover includes a flange.
- The transformer must remain de-energized during testing to avoid risks.
- Circuit breaker safety involves deactivating automatic fire extinguishing devices and ensuring that operating conditions follow safety protocols.
Maintenance Protocol
- Maintenance intervals are critical; stop-cocks need to be opened to connect the on-load tap-changer to the oil conservator effectively.
- Contact with service centers is required after specific operation counts, such as 1.2 million or 3.6 million switching operations.
- A label in the motor-drive unit specifies relevant maintenance intervals, enhancing proactive service schedules to prevent systemic failures.
Explosion Hazards
- Risks of explosion are prevalent during operation; hence, ignition sources must be monitored closely.
- Overloading the on-load tap-changer can result in severe injuries and significant property damage.
- It is essential to prevent operations that exceed the specified operating conditions.

Pressure Monitoring Device (DW 2000)
- Protects on-load tap-changer from hazardous pressure increases, enhancing transformer safety.
- Dimensions for configurations indicate maximum permissible axial offset requirements.
Maintenance and Safety Precautions
- Electrical hazards:
- Always de-energize the transformer before maintenance to prevent electric shock.
- Lock transformer to prevent accidental restart and ensure grounding of all terminals.
- Risk of explosion from explosive gases in oil compartments requires avoidance of ignition sources during maintenance.
- Protect motor-drive unit's housing from condensate damage; utilize desiccants if necessary.
Inspection Protocol
- Visual inspections and monitoring of insulating fluid quality for on-load tap-changer and motor-drive unit should be conducted.
- Inspections can be integrated with routine transformer checks for efficiency.
Re-commissioning Process
- Confirm resolution of issues causing pressure monitoring device tripping before re-commissioning the transformer.
- Ensure operational positioning of the sensor prior to commissioning.
