Product Overview

RMV-II on-load tap-changer utilized with oil-immersed transformers to adjust voltage or phase under load.
Features vacuum interrupters to eliminate contamination of oil and shutdown arcs during operation.
Packaging includes an oil compartment with multiple connections, ensuring moisture protection and readiness for installation.### VACUTAP RMV-II On-Load Tap-Changer
The VACUTAP RMV-II is a three-phase on-load tap-changer with full insulation between phases and to ground.
It consists of a tank with tap selector and change-over selector, by-pass switch, vacuum interrupters with monitoring system, motor-drive unit, and dehydrating breather.

Tap Changer Operation

The tap changer operation is divided into three major functions: arc interruption and reclosing, selection of the next tap position, and operation of the change-over selector.
The tap changer is operated using a motor-drive unit.
The tap-change operation is activated by starting the motor-drive unit, and this operation is always completed regardless of any other control pulses emitted during the tap-change operation.

Design and Components

The on-load tap-changer oil compartment has a vertical insulating plate per phase, with the vacuum interrupter mounted vertically on the front of the insulating plate.
The by-pass switch is located on the opposite side of the insulating plate from the vacuum interrupter and is driven by the same drive shaft.
Each phase of the on-load tap-changer consists of a tap selector and change-over selector, fitted on the rear of the on-load tap-changer oil compartment on an epoxy terminal board.

Motor-Drive Unit

The motor-drive unit adjusts the operating position of on-load tap-changers in regulating transformers to the individual operating requirements.
The motor-drive unit has a hand lamp, miniature circuit breaker, VIM-OK signal lamp, alarm signal lamp, LOCAL/REMOTE/AUTO rotary switch, RAISE/LOWER control switch, and snap latch.
The motor-drive unit also has protective devices, including end stop device, device protecting against unintentional passage, motor protection device, and protection against accidental contact.

Monitoring System (VIM)

The monitoring system is used to detect vacuum interrupter malfunctions.
The monitoring system performs checks during every diverter switch operation and after every 2 tap-change operations for network applications and after every 32 tap-change operations for industrial applications.
The monitoring system has displays and controls, including a green TEST push-button, green Power LED, and red RESET push-button.

Dehydrating Breather

The dehydrating breather removes moisture from the air breathed into the on-load tap-changer.
The dehydrating breather comprises a glass cylinder, connecting flange on top, breather, and protective grate with viewing windows.

Packaging, Transport, and Storage

The products are sometimes supplied in a sealed packaging and sometimes in a dry state depending on requirements.
The packaging is suitable for undamaged and fully functional means of transportation in compliance with local transportation laws and regulations.
The packaged goods are protected from humidity using a desiccant, and the plastic foil is bonded after the desiccant is added.
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and correct storage, and includes symbols such as "Protect against moisture", "Top", "Fragile", and "Attach lifting gear here".

Product Overview

RMV-II on-load tap-changer utilized with oil-immersed transformers to adjust voltage or phase under load.
Features vacuum interrupters to eliminate contamination of oil and shutdown arcs during operation.
Packaging includes an oil compartment with multiple connections, ensuring moisture protection and readiness for installation.### VACUTAP RMV-II On-Load Tap-Changer
The VACUTAP RMV-II is a three-phase on-load tap-changer with full insulation between phases and to ground.
It consists of a tank with tap selector and change-over selector, by-pass switch, vacuum interrupters with monitoring system, motor-drive unit, and dehydrating breather.

Tap Changer Operation

The tap changer operation is divided into three major functions: arc interruption and reclosing, selection of the next tap position, and operation of the change-over selector.
The tap changer is operated using a motor-drive unit.
The tap-change operation is activated by starting the motor-drive unit, and this operation is always completed regardless of any other control pulses emitted during the tap-change operation.

Design and Components

The on-load tap-changer oil compartment has a vertical insulating plate per phase, with the vacuum interrupter mounted vertically on the front of the insulating plate.
The by-pass switch is located on the opposite side of the insulating plate from the vacuum interrupter and is driven by the same drive shaft.
Each phase of the on-load tap-changer consists of a tap selector and change-over selector, fitted on the rear of the on-load tap-changer oil compartment on an epoxy terminal board.

Motor-Drive Unit

The motor-drive unit adjusts the operating position of on-load tap-changers in regulating transformers to the individual operating requirements.
The motor-drive unit has a hand lamp, miniature circuit breaker, VIM-OK signal lamp, alarm signal lamp, LOCAL/REMOTE/AUTO rotary switch, RAISE/LOWER control switch, and snap latch.
The motor-drive unit also has protective devices, including end stop device, device protecting against unintentional passage, motor protection device, and protection against accidental contact.

Monitoring System (VIM)

The monitoring system is used to detect vacuum interrupter malfunctions.
The monitoring system performs checks during every diverter switch operation and after every 2 tap-change operations for network applications and after every 32 tap-change operations for industrial applications.
The monitoring system has displays and controls, including a green TEST push-button, green Power LED, and red RESET push-button.

Dehydrating Breather

The dehydrating breather removes moisture from the air breathed into the on-load tap-changer.
The dehydrating breather comprises a glass cylinder, connecting flange on top, breather, and protective grate with viewing windows.

Packaging, Transport, and Storage

The products are sometimes supplied in a sealed packaging and sometimes in a dry state depending on requirements.
The packaging is suitable for undamaged and fully functional means of transportation in compliance with local transportation laws and regulations.
The packaged goods are protected from humidity using a desiccant, and the plastic foil is bonded after the desiccant is added.
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and correct storage, and includes symbols such as "Protect against moisture", "Top", "Fragile", and "Attach lifting gear here".
