This makes it possible to compensate for aspects such as fluctuations in voltage occurring in the power transmis- sion grid. For this purpose, on-load tap-changers are fitted in transformers and connected to the active part of the transformer. A motor-drive unit which receives a control impulse (e.g. from a voltage reg- ulator) changes the operating position of the on-load tap-changer, as a result of which the transformer's transmission ratio is adapted to the prevailing op- erating requirements.

All pipe bends without terminal box for the tap-change supervisory control can be freely swiveled once the pressure ring is loos- ened. Figure 5: Pipe connections with pipe bends Pipe connection Q The pipe connection Q is closed with a blank cover. If the on-load tap- changer is equipped with a tap-change supervisory device, the connection cables for the tap-change supervisory device are fed through the pipe con- nection. The functions of the R and Q pipe connections can be interchanged. Pipe connection S The pipe bend on pipe connection S features a vent screw and can be con- nected to a pipe that ends with a drain valve on the side of the transformer tank at operating height. If the on-load tap-changer is fitted with an oil suc- tion pipe, the on-load tap-changer can be completely emptied via pipe con- nection S. Pipe connection R Pipe connection R is intended for attachment of the protective relay and con- nection of the on-load tap-changer oil conservator and can be interchanged with pipe connection Q. Pipe connection E2 Pipe connection E2 is sealed off with a blank cover. It leads into the oil tank of the transformer, directly under the on-load tap-changer head and can be connected to a collective pipe for the Buchholz relay, if necessary. This pipe connection serves a further purpose, namely to equalize the pressure be- Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 4349307/02 EN VACUTAP® VR® 19 3 Product description tween the transformer tank and oil compartment of the on-load tap-changer, which is necessary for drying, filling with insulating fluid and transportation of the transformer. 3.1.3 Nameplate and serial number The nameplate with serial number is on the on-load tap-changer head cover. Figure 6: Nameplate 3.1.4 Protective devices The on-load tap-changer is equipped with the following protective devices. 3.1.4.1 Protective relay 3.1.4.1.1 Function description The protective relay is looped into the circuit breaker tripping circuit. It is tripped when the specified speed of flow from the on-load tap-changer head to the oil conservator is exceeded due to a fault. The flowing insulating fluid actuates the flap valve which tips over into position OFF. The contact in the dry-reed magnetic switch is thereby actuated, the circuit breakers are tripped, and the transformer is de-energized. The protective relay is a component of an on-load tap-changer filled with in- sulating fluid and its properties conform to the respective applicable version of IEC publication 60214-1. Diverter switch operations at rated switching capacity or at permissible over- load will not cause the protective relay to trip. The protective relay responds to flow, not to gas accumulated in the protec- tive relay. It is not necessary to bleed the protective relay when filling the transformer with insulating fluid. Gas accumulation in the protective relay is normal. 20 VACUTAP® VR® 4349307/02 EN Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 3 Product description 3.1.4.1.2 Design/versions Front view Figure 7: Protective relay RS 2001 1 Inspection window 2 Pressure equalization element Rear view Figure 8: Protective relay RS 2001 1 Dummy plug 2 Nameplate The protective relay RS 2001/R has an extra inspection window on the rear.

Figure 10: Nameplate 3.1.4.1.4 Safety markings The following safety markings are used on the product: Figure 11: Safety markings overview 1 Protective conductor connection 2 Warning of dangerous electrical voltage 3 Read the documentation 3.1.4.2 Pressure monitoring device DW 3.1.4.2.1 Function description The DW 2000 pressure monitoring device protects the on-load tap-changer from impermissible pressure increases, contributing to the safety of the transformer. The pressure monitoring device is installed on the outside of the on-load tap-changer and is tripped by impermissible static and dynamic pressures in the on-load tap-changer oil compartment. The pressure monitoring device uses a concept where a corrugated tube acts as a barometer together with a spring providing counter force. This as- sembly is mechanically linked to the sensor on the snap-action switch. Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 4349307/02 EN VACUTAP® VR® 23 3 Product description The pressure increase activates the sensor on the snap-action switch, which flips into the OFF position. This triggers the circuit breaker and de-energizes the transformer. The sensor on the snap-action switch has to be reset to the initial position by hand after tripping. Low-energy interference does not cause the pressure monitoring device to trip since the required tripping pressure is not reached. The tripping pressure is set at the factory and prevented from being changed. The pressure monitoring device responds to large pressure increases faster than the protective relay. The protective relay is part of the standard MR pro- tection system and comes as standard. Additional use of a pressure monitoring device also requires installation of the provided protective relay. The features and characteristics of the pressure monitoring device comply with the respective applicable version of IEC publication 60214-1. Diverter switch operations at the rated switching capacity or permitted over- load do not cause the pressure-operated relay to trip. The pressure-operated relay responds to a pressure change and not to gas accumulation under the pressure-operated relay. Gas accumulation under the pressure-operated relay is normal. 3.1.4.2.2 Design/versions There are two variants of the pressure monitoring device: ▪ DW 2000 for vertical installation ▪ DW 2000 for horizontal installation 24 VACUTAP® VR® 4349307/02 EN Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 3 Product description The housing and the cover cap of the pressure monitoring device consist of lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal. Figure 12: Snap-action switch and pressure measuring element 1 Snap-action switch 2 Pressure measuring element Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 4349307/02 EN VACUTAP® VR® 25 3 Product description Figure 13: Pressure monitoring device with cover cap and ventilation 1 Ventilation 2 Cover cap 3.1.4.3 Rupture disk The rupture disk is a pressure relief device without signaling contact in ac- cordance with IEC 60214-1 and is located in the on-load tap-changer head cover. The rupture disk responds to a defined overpressure in the oil compartment of the on-load tap-changer. 3.1.4.4 Pressure relief device MPreC® On request, MR will supply a pre-fitted MPreC® pressure relief device in place of the rupture disk. This device responds to a defined overpressure in the oil compartment of the on-load tap-changer. The on-load tap-changer therefore meets the requirements of IEC 60214-1 regarding pressure relief devices. 3.1.4.5 Tap-change supervisory device The tap-change supervisory device monitors both the drive shaft between on-load tap-changer(s) and motor-drive unit and the correct switching of the diverter switch. 26 VACUTAP® VR® 4349307/02 EN Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 3 Product description 3.1.4.6 Temperature monitoring The temperature monitoring system monitors the temperature of the insulat- ing fluid in the oil compartment of the on-load tap-changer. Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 2021 4349307/02 EN VACUTAP® VR® 27 3 Product description 3.2 Drive shaft 3.2.1 Function description The drive shaft is the mechanical connection between the drive and the on- load tap-changer/de-energized tap-changer.
