    Study Notes

    Safety Precautions

    • On-load tap-changer oil is flammable; handle with care to avoid fire hazards.
    • Explosive switching gases may be present in various areas of the tap-changer; ensure no open flames or sparks nearby.
    • Use only conductive and grounded hoses and equipment when handling flammable liquids.
    • Deactivate auxiliary circuits before working on the tap-changer cover and avoid using electrical tools that could create sparks.

    Maintenance and Operation

    • Open the bleeder valve while the stop valve between the oil conservator and diverter switch is open, allowing gas to escape safely.
    • Adequate ventilation is essential while working on the tap-changer to disperse switching gases.
    • Once bleeding is complete and oil flows, close the bleeder valve first, then the stop valve.

    Specifications

    • Approximate weight of the tap-changer type H is 240 kg; the variant H 111 400 D-145 weighs around 265 kg.
    • Different motor drives (MA 7: ~90 kg, MA 9: ~60 kg) and protective relays (RS 2001: 3.5 kg) accompany the tap-changer.

    Installation Instructions

    • Store tap-changer parts in a dry location until ready for assembly; keep them sealed in their protective covering until installation.
    • A mounting flange is necessary for securing the tap-changer head to the transformer cover.
    • Position studs accurately with the aid of a drilling template to ensure correct installation.

    Installation Procedure

    • Lift the tap-changer into the supporting structure with care to avoid any forces on the tap-changer.
    • Ensure proper clearance is available for the tap-changer to rise to its final installation position.
    • Protective relays must be integrated into the circuit to immediately disconnect the transformer upon activation.

    Final Precautions

    • Ensure that the motor drive is not operated while the tap-changer is un-coupled.
    • Cover all electrical equipment functions and control devices for safety before energizing the transformer after maintenance.
    • Reset the protective relay only after ensuring the tap-changer has been addressed following activation.

    Tap Changer Attachment Process

    • The tap changer is mounted onto the transformer cover via a mounting flange.
    • Clean the sealing surfaces before placing an oil-resistant gasket on the mounting flange.
    • Temporarily use spacer blocks to ensure proper installation height prior to attaching the bell-type cover.
    • Ensure avoidance of damage to screening rings and tap changer terminals during installation.

    Installation Steps

    • The tap changer must be lifted and positioned accurately into the supporting structure.
    • It should be securely fastened in the correct mounting position and maintained in a vertical orientation.
    • Connected leads must not apply any force on the tap changer after installation.
    • Adequate clearance is necessary for the tap changer to be raised to its final position post bell-type tank installation.

    Temperature Controls

    • Maintain a constant temperature of approximately 90 °C during the drying process.
    • Increase the kerosene vapor temperature by 10°C per hour, up to a maximum of 125°C for effective drying.
    • Drying duration should align with the transformer drying procedure, typically around 3 to 4 hours.

    Post-Installation Procedures

    • After the transformer ratio test, the tap changer must be adjusted back to the designated position as noted in the equipment connection diagram.
    • Ensure through an inspection window that the tap changer has not surpassed the end positions indicated by the connection diagram.

    Important Notes

    • The tap changer cover is vacuum-proof, necessitating careful handling during the connection of the by-pass tube to facilitate drying.
    • Use a connecting pipe to connect the transformer tank to the tap changer head for drying purposes.
    • Maintain vigilant observation of temperature and installation protocols for ensuring optimal performance and safety.
