Study Notes
Transformer Maintenance and Inspection
- Diverter switch units in transformers require replacement after 800,000 switching operations.
- For industrial transformers, contact Technical Service after reaching 1,000,000 switching operations.
- Specific models and their ratings include:
- RM | 601: Up to 600A, 80,000 operations
- RM 1 1201: Up to 600A, 80,000 operations, and up to 1200A, 60,000 operations
- RM 1 1502: Up to 1000A, 60,000 operations
- R 11201: Up to 600A, 80,000 operations, up to 1200A, 60,000 operations
- R 12002: Up to 2000A, 40,000 operations
- R 12402: Up to 2400A, 40,000 operations
- R 1 3000: Up to 3000A, 40,000 operations
- R 1 3600: Up to 3600A, 40,000 operations
Oil Filter Usage
- Use stationary oil filter unit type 51 with a paper filter if tap change operations exceed 15,000 per year.
- Mandatory use of a combined filter cartridge is required for tap changers type R and RM with voltage > 245 kV.
- Inspections are mandated every 6 to 7 years regardless of operation frequency.
Inspection Procedures
- Visual checks for the diverter switch unit's exterior; clean with new transformer oil only.
- Ensure no foreign parts enter the oil compartment during the diverter switch unit installation.
- Record switched position of the diverter switch before inspection to ensure it is restored post-maintenance.
Transition Resistor Measurement
- Measure transition resistors' values between 0.3 and 30 ohms.
- Compare measurement results with rating plate specifications, allowing a permissible deviation of ±10%.
Contact Wear Calculation
- Total wear of a pair of contacts is calculated as 2¢ = K - X, where K is the contact distance.
- Use a standard contact distance of 34 mm if unknown, resulting in 2¢ = 34 - X.
- Inspect contact tips thoroughly; report measurements and tap changer details for further evaluation.
General Maintenance Advice
- Only new transformer oil should be used for cleaning; avoid organic solvents or unsuitable cleaning agents.
- Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for maintaining operational integrity and preventing failures.
On-Load Tap Changers Overview
- On-load tap changers facilitate current transfer from one transformer tap to another without interruption.
- Operation is initiated by a tap selector preselecting the desired tap while ensuring ohmic resistors prevent breaks.
Key Components
- Diverter Switch: Responsible for managing the connection during tap changes.
- Motor Drive Unit: Powers the operation of the tap changer and diverter switch.
- Main components include the tap changer head, drive shaft, and various pipe connections for oil flow.
Technical Specifications
- Maximum equipment voltage levels vary: 72.5 kV, 123 kV, 170 kV, 245 kV.
- Oil filling quantities range from approximately 160 litres to 210 litres depending on the model.
- Diverter switch insert lengths differ: 1147 mm to 1477 mm, influencing lifting height requirements.
Safety Precautions
- Ensure the transformer is disconnected and secured against reactivation before maintenance.
- All electrical terminals should be grounded visibly with clear markings around the work area.
- Inspection only begins after confirming all safety measures are in place to avoid hazards.
Operating Procedures
- The diverter switch can be withdrawn in any operational position, with the adjustment position being preferable for ease of access.
- During maintenance, ensure the motor drive is disabled to prevent accidental operation.
Removal and Inspection of Diverter Switch
- Lower oil levels by closing the stop valve before working on the diverter switch.
- Measure contact wear and replace components if wear exceeds 2 mm.
- Secure proper setting of the diverter switch to the mid-position for accurate measurements and maintenance.
Maintenance Guidance
- Regular checks should involve measuring transition contacts to ensure proper function.
- Document all measurements accurately for future reference and assessment.
- Use appropriate tools and safety gear during inspections and repairs.
