Study Notes
On-Load Tap-Changer Overview
- Serial numbers of on-load tap-changer and accessories must match for a single order.
- The product's standard and year of issue are indicated on the nameplate.
- Operate according to the technical file, delivery conditions, and technical data.
- Ensure all work is performed by qualified personnel only.
Electrical Operating Conditions
- Designed for 50/60 Hz sinusoidal alternating current, can switch twice the rated current at the rated step voltage.
- Short-term exceedance of rated step voltage by up to 10% is allowed without exceeding the rated step capacity.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Close-fitting clothing, safety shoes, safety glasses, visors, hard hats, hearing protection, and protective gloves are necessary to avoid various hazards during operation.
Function of On-Load Tap-Changer
- Adjusts transformer transmission ratio without interrupting load flow.
- Compensates for voltage fluctuations in the power transmission grid.
- Integrated into transformers and connected to their active parts.
Pressure Relief Device (MPreC®)
- Available upon request and replaces rupture disk, responding to defined overpressure in the oil compartment.
- Complies with IEC 60214-1 standards for pressure relief devices.
Monitoring Systems
- The tap-change supervisory device monitors drive shaft and diverter switch operation.
- Temperature monitoring system tracks the insulating fluid temperature in the oil compartment.
Drive Shaft Function
- Connects the drive to the on-load tap-changer; changes direction from vertical to horizontal via bevel gear.
- Vertical drive shaft for connection from drive to bevel gear; horizontal shaft connects bevel gear to the tap-changer.
Drive Shaft Configurations
- Different configurations based on length and whether intermediate bearings are used; minimum lengths specified for various setups.
OF 100 Oil Filter Unit
- Cleans insulating fluid using a paper filter and combined filter insert.
- Manual operation during transformer activation is prohibited; checks on tap-changer and transformer are essential after tripping events.
Maintenance and Fault Elimination
- If tripping occurs, measurements and checks on the transformer are required; MR should be contacted for on-load tap-changer evaluations.
- Signals for low insulating fluid levels should be addressed by examining the pipe system for leaks and ensuring fluid quality.
Warnings and Safety Information
- Warnings are formatted to specify the type of danger, its source, and the recommended actions.
- Embedded warnings address specific portions within sections, providing direct instructions to avoid dangerous situations.
- Signal words convey the severity of hazards:
- DANGER: Imminent death or serious injury if not avoided.
- WARNING: Potential for death or serious injury if not avoided.
- CAUTION: Risk of minor or moderate injury if not avoided.
- NOTICE: Measures required to prevent property damage.
Product Description and Pipe Connections
- Pipe connections may include factory-fitted pipe bends which are freely swiveled when pressure rings are loosened.
- Pipe Connection Q: Closed with a blank cover; can route connection cables for supervisory devices or connect oil filter units; functions can be interchanged with Pipe R.
- Pipe Connection S: Features a vent screw; connects to drain valves and allows complete emptying of the oil from the on-load tap-changer.
- Pipe Connection R: Used for protective relay attachment and oil conservator connection; interchangeable with Pipe Q.
- Pipe Connection E2: Sealed with a blank cover; oil compartment filled with insulation fluid and all stop-cocks open.
- Tap-change operations should only be conducted after inrush current impulses have subsided to avoid overload.
Operating the Motor-Drive Unit
-
Warning of Explosion: Unauthorized operation with the hand crank can lead to death or serious injury. Follow strict guidelines for operation:
- Disconnect transformer before operation, especially with potential faults.
- Avoid using the hand crank to finish incomplete electrical tap-change operations.
- Stop using the hand crank if facing difficulty in movement and never reverse its rotation.
- Normal operation rarely requires the hand crank; it is primarily for installation or testing.
- Emergency operations must adhere to safety warnings if absolutely necessary while the transformer is energized.
Maintenance and Fault Rectification
- If protective relays or devices trip, inspect the on-load tap-changer and transformer before re-energizing.
- Maintain protective housing tightly closed to avoid moisture damage to the motor-drive unit.
- Use anti-condensation heaters during prolonged inactivity; employ desiccants if necessary.
- For unresolved faults or trips in protective devices, contact authorized representatives or the manufacturer for assistance.
