REMOVAL OF THE DIVERTER SWITCH UNIT (fig. 6) Lowering the oil level: Close the stop valve between oil conservator and tap changer head. Lower the oil level in the tap changer head by opening the drain valve of the tap changer head and the bleeder valve on the tap changer cover (open screw cap M30/w.s.36, lift the valve tappet by means of a screw driver, fig. 7). AN ATTENTION: The switching oil o f the tap changer should always b e handled as a flammable liquid. Moreover, explo- sive gases can accumulate under the tap changer cover, i n the switching oil o r i n the o i l compart- ment. Therefore, strictly avoid open fire. Use only pumping equipment suitable for flammable liquids. If an oil filter unit is installed: Open the sample valve of the return pipe and take the oil filter unit into operation.

Open the stop dial in its correct position only. valve between tap changer head and tap changer oil conservator and drain the oil until clean oil flows. If necessary, flush the oil conservator with new transformer oil. A ATTENTION: The tap change supervisory circuit i s active. Before starting with the inspection this circuit has to b e disconnected and secured against reclosure. Disregard endangers lives. Withdraw 4 (or 6) leads for the super- visory circuit (fig. 10). Take note of the marks o n the tap changer head and o n the support plate. They must coincide i n the adjustment position (key of the diverter switch drive shaft has to match the triangle mark on the sup- port plate). Loosen the fixing screws of the support plate. Standard design: 4 screws M8 x 20/w.s. 13, fig. 10. Special design for installation into a bell-type tank: 5 studs M8 with nuts (w.s. 13), fig. 11 and 12. A ATTENTION: The nuts o f the studs located i n the red-marked area of the tap changer head must not b e loosened. Otherwise the tap changer may fall into the transformer tank and cause serious damage to parts of the tap changer and transformer. In both cases take care not to lose the spring washers. Now, carefully lift out the diverter switch (fig. 13) unit by using the lifting lugs. Place it on a flat and clean surface. 110/01001/0 9 Drain the diverter switch oil compart- ment completely.Flush it thoroughly with transformer oil and drain again until it is absolutely empty (fig.14). Remove the suction pipe (fig. 15) and thoroughly flush with transformer oil inside and outside. Then reinstall the suction pipe. To make sure that n o parts fall into the oil compartment until installation of the diverter switch unit, close the tap changer head with the cover using all cover screws M10/w.s.17.

INSPECTION OF A TWO- POLE DIVERTER SWITCH UNIT (POLES W, U), LAMINATED PAPER TYPE The diverter switch unit comprises two fully insulated diverter switches, each consisting of a spring energy accumulator, a contact system sector and two resistor shells. 5.1 Withdrawal position Before starting the inspection, take note of the switched position (= with- drawal position) of the diverter switches. Note the position of the trip lever of the spring energy accumulator (fig. 21), in order to regain this po- sition after reassembly of the diverter switch unit. 5.2 Measurement of the transition resistors (fig. 22). Measure the value of each transition resistor. T h e values are between 0.3 and 30 ohms. Measure between the main switching and the transition contacts on top and bottom of the contact shell (see fig. 22) starting from that side where the contacts are open. Before measuring on the opposite side set the diverter switch to the other positi- on by means of the operating key. Perform measurement as described above. Compare the measured values with the values given on the rating plate. A + 10% percent deviation is permis- sible. Perform a control measurement of the 2 x 1 0 0 kiloohms tie-in resistors at pole W as illustrated in fig. 22. 0,3...30Q 110/01/01/0 12 5.3 Separation of the diverter switches (pole W and pole U) Suspend the diverter switch to a lifting device by means of the lifting lugs at the support plate. Lift slightly to apply some tension to secure the unit against tilting. Loosen 8 screws M8 x 35/w.s. 13 on the laminated paper shells at the bottom of pole W (fig. 23). Each screw is provided with 1 lock nut, 1 washer and 3 dished washers. For every two screws one laminated shim is provided on the inside.Note their position for later reinstallation. Lift off diverter switch pole W. From now, all further steps of the in- spection are first carried out at pole W and then at pole U (fig. 24). 5.4 Cleaning the inside of the insulating shafts With older tap changer models the insulating shafts (1 supervisory con- trol and 2 diverter switch insulating shafts) have a tubular design (see fig. 25a). The inside of these tubular insulating shafts needs to be cleanded. To get access to the inside of these insulating shafts remove the top part of diverter switch pole W, : Z Ir Na = — ARN ~Lim A) 3% J Fig 25a: since 1979.

INSPECTION OF THE TWO- POLE DIVERTER SWITCH UNIT (POLE W, U) IN GFRP DESIGN The diverter switch unit comprises two fully insulated diverter switches, each consisting of a spring energy accumu- lator, a contact system sector and two resistor shells. 6.1 Withdrawal position Before starting with the inspection, note the present position of the diverter switch unit (= withdrawal position). Note the position of the trip lever of the spring energy accumulator (fig. 71), so that the diverter switch insert can be set to its original position when reassembling. 6.2 Measurement of the transition resistors (fig. 72) Measure the value of each transition resistor. The values are between 0.3 and 30 ohms. Perform measurement always at the open side of the diverter switch sector between the stationary main switching and transition contacts on the top and - at the bottom. Before measuring the other side, the diverter switch has to be switched to the opposite position by means of the operating key (see section 11.2). Measurement is then carried out as described above. Compare the measured values with the values given on the rating plate. A deviation of +10% is permissible. 0,3...30Q 0,3...30Q Perform a control measurement of the 2 x 100 kiloohms tie-in resistors at pole W as depicted in fig. 72. @ 0,3...30Q 0,3...30Q 22 11001010 6.3 Separating the diverter switch unit (pole W and pole U) Separate the diverter switch unit from A ATTENTION: the screw connection between the Visually check the surfaces of lower supporting cylinder and the support cylinder and insulating spring energy accumulator housing of shaft.

The supporting cylinder i s screwed to the lugs of the spring energy accul- mulator housing. Loosen the 8 screws M8 x 20 (w.s. 13) with lock nuts and washers (fig. 75). A WARNING: Strictly avoid dropping any parts into the diverter switch unit. Otherwise there i s the risk that the diverter switch blocks and the tap changer and transformer are damaged. Therefore, make sure that the number of small parts i s com- plete when disassembling and reinstalling. Count them t o b e sure. Take off the supporting cylinder (fig. 76). Lift off the insulating shaft (fig. 77). Clean the supporting cylinder inside and outside with a brush and trans- former oil. Rinse with transformer oil and wipe dry with a rag.
