Make sure that the contact which signals instances when levels falls below the minimum oil level in the on-load tap-changer's oil conser- vator was looped through to the tripping circuit of the circuit breaker and that the circuit breaker will immediately de-ener- gize the transformer when the oil has fallen below this minimum oil level in the oil conservator. Monitoring the on-load tap-changer and motor-drive unit is limited to occasional visual checks of on-load tap- changer head, protective relay and motor-drive unit. For efficiency reasons these visual checks can be combined with the usual control inspections on the transformer.

Only use conductive and grounded hoses, pipes and pump equipment that are approved for flammable liquids. 1) De-energize all auxiliary circuits (e.g. tap-change su- pervisory control, pressure relief valve, pressure-op- erated relays). 2) If the stop-cock (slide valve) between the oil conser- vator and diverter switch oil compartment is open, open the air-vent valve on the on-load tap-changer head by removing M30/wrench 36 screw cap and lift- ing valve tappet with a screwdriver (see no. 5 in Fig- ure 5). 3) Drain off the gas from under the on-load tap-changer cover. Ensure sufficient fresh air (e.g. in transformer cells and work tents). 4) Once the gas has been drained off and the oil is flow- ing out of the air-vent valve, close this valve and close the stop-cock between the oil conservator and divert- er switch oil compartment. 5) Place a bucket at the drain valve to catch the drained oil. Open air-vent valve again and drain off around 5– 10 liters of oil via the drain pipe until the area under the on-load tap-changer cover is free of oil.

Damage to the on-load tap- changer and motor-drive unit! The switching oil of the on-load tap-changer must be treated as a flammable liquid at all times. Therefore, strictly avoid open fire. Use only pumping equipment approved for flammable liquids. Never allow parts to fall into the oil compartment. Otherwise there is a risk of the on- load tap-changer blocking. This may damage the on-load tap- changer and transformer. Therefore check the number of small parts when disassembling and reassembling to ensure they are identical. 1 2 1 - Guard plate for horizontal drive shaft 2 - Gear unit 3 - On-load tap-changer cover 4 - Inspection window cover 5 - Air-vent valve 7 6 - Pipe connection for RS 2001 protective relay 7 - Pipe connection with vent screw 4 6 5 3 Figure 5 Maintenance Manual WA 241/05 EN VACUTAP® VV Copying and distribution of this document and the utilization and communication of its contents are strictly prohibited unless expressly authorized.

When unfastening these screws, use a socket wrench (wrench Figure 8a Design type as of July 2006 13, minimum length 15 cm) to reach the screws (see Fig- ure 8 and figure 8a). NOTE! The retaining brackets of the gear- ing have been riveted since April 2001. If the retaining brackets are not riv- eted, they must be removed before lifting out the gear unit and stored in a safe place. Take care to avoid parts falling into the oil compartment.

When lifting out the gearing, the switching elements may move away from the current take-off rings and the posi- tion of the column in the oil compartment may then no longer be perfectly vertical. The gearing must be removed by hand, see Figure 9 and Figure 10.

ATTENTION! Damage to the on-load tap- Pulling oil suction pipe up and out changer! The on-load tap-changer insert may only be lifted out as described below. 4) Using the T handle, gently pre-stress the mounting rod in a clockwise direction and, using an appropriate lifting device, carefully lift out the on-load tap-changer insert 5 to 10 mm max. (Figure 13). Pre-stressing the mounting rod will cause the insert to pivot out from the center as soon as the insert leaves the guiding mechanism in the bottom bearing. 5) The contacts of the bottom phase will be exposed in the process. Remove the T-handle from the mounting rod and keep on carefully pulling the on-load tap- changer insert out from the oil compartment. Take care not to damage the contacts, control rollers, and screening rings.

The bottom bearing features two guide notches. 3) The triangular mark of the mounting rod must be aligned with the switching elements. If not, lift up the mounting rod, turn it 180 degrees and put it in again. The guide pin is not properly engaged if the mounting Lifting bracket rod can still be freely rotated!

Insert the mounting rod in the bottom bearing of the oil compartment. The bottom bearing features two guide notches. The guide pin located at the bottom end of the mounting rod has to engage in the on-load tap-changer type- specific guide notch in the bottom bearing. 0 Be sure to insert the mounting rod in such a way as X to align the mounting rod’s red triangular marking as follows: for design types with change-over selector: towards the "0" mark (Figure 16/ Figure 17) for design types without change-over selector: towards the "X" mark (Figure 16) Figure 16 ATTENTION! Malfunction of on-load tap- changer and transformer! The on-load tap-changer insert may only be inserted as described below. Pivot the mounting rod in a clockwise direction. Plug the conical top onto the upper end of the mounting rod. The conical top prevents the on-load tap-changer insert from sliding down to the edge of the mountin
