When removing the sectorial con- tact shell (fig. 26) note the position of the arc chutes (fig. 27). Withdraw the arc chutes. 5.6 Cleaning the diverter switch Thoroughly clean the diverter switch, i.e. supporting bars, sec- torial contact shells, movable con- tact system and transition resistors, with transformer oil. Take special care t o clean all in- sulating paris. Finally flush all parts thoroughly with new oil. 5.7 Cleaning the diverter switch insulating shaft The interior of the diverter switch insulating shaft should be cleaned only in case of tubular design of shaft (see fig. 28a). For detaching the drive shaft, the upper part of the diverter switch unit has t o be dismounted from the spring energy accumulator case at the four sup- porting bars (each supporting bar: 2 =a bolts M 8 x 40 (w.s. 13) with self- wT locking nuts and cup springs). To l remove the bolts, the spring energy accumulator must be actuated t o one side for clearance. Mind not t o Fig. 28a until 1981 Fig. 28b from 1981 let any cup springs fall into the diverter switch. Always check their Designs of the diverter switch insulating shaft correct number (6 c u p springs per bolt). Clean the interior of the insulating shaft by thoroughly flushing i t with new oil. The reassembly i s t o be made i n the reverse order of the disassembly. 14 Note: The diverter switch insulating shaft must be mounted on the drive shaft i n such a way that the mark- ing of the insulating shaft matches the marking on the eccentric. The suspension bars must be put on the spring energy accumulator case in such a way that the triangular markings of the suppor- ting plate (fig. 29) and spring energy accumulator case (fig. 30) face the same suspension bar. The bolts are mounted according t o fig. 31, tor- que 22 Nm. 5.8 Reinstalling the sectorial con- t a c t shells Install each sectorial contact shell in its original place. To facilitate fastening of the shells, press back the transition contacts 2 and insert tensioning bolts (e.g. 2 bolts M 5 x 70) i n t o t h e t w o h o l e s o f t h e top guide plate. Thus the spring pressure of the movable contact system t o the out- Fig. 31 side i s counterbalanced (fig. 32). Attachment o f suspension bar Reinstall a l l s e p a r a t i n g walls. These are of different design; make sure that they are correctly posi- tioned (long and short walls i n alternate arrangement, fig. 33). Use a piece of string for provisional fixing the separating walls (fig. 34). Fix the sectorial contact shell with the two central screws. Check the separating walls as t o correct posi- tion in the grooves of the sectorial contact shell. Remove the string. Then reinstall and lock all screws: 6 s c r e w s M 6 (w.s. 10) w i t h l o c k tabs, torque 9 Nm. Remove the tension- ing bolts (fig. 35). Attach the resistor connecting leads (6 screws M5, 1 nut M6, w.s. 7, torque 9 Nm). W h e n a l l sectorial c o n t a c t s h e l l s have been reinstalled, the spring energy accumulator must b e reset and locked i n a definite diverter switch position. Insert a screwdriver between winding-up and cocking slide of the. » spring energy accumulator (fig. 36). Actuate the eccentric b y means of the operating key until the pawl has locked i n (fig. 37, 38). For checking the mechanical func- tion, operate the diverter switch several times between its two posi- tion. Finally measure the transition resistors once more as described i n section 5.2. Before reinstalling the diverter switch unit, set the diverter switch to its removal position (see section 5.1). 5.9 Checking the protective cir- cuitry (if installed) The function of the protective cir- cuitry of the diverter switch (as shown in fig. 39) i s to limit transient overvoltages occurring between the Fig. 37 Fig. 38 diverter switch contacts (i.e. bet- Pawl u nlocked ween selected and preselected taps). The protective circuitry consists of voltage-sensitive resistors (varistor elements) and, for the most recent designs, of additional linear ceramic resistors connected i n series (fig. 40). Checking comprises: a) A visual inspection Check the general condition of the assembly, of the resistor elements and of the electrical connections. Fig. 39 Protective circuitry of the diverter switch R1, R2 — transition resistors R — stack of varistor elements and linear resistors 16 b) Measuring the linear resistors by ‘means of an. ohmmeter (see fig. 41) The resistance value of a single linear resistor element is either 8 o h m s *+20% o r 1 0 o h m s 2 0 %. Enter the total resistance value i n t o table V of appendix, section 9.3. ¢) Measuring the varistor elements (see appendix, section 9.3) Measure the voltage drop on each varistor element (see fig. 42) at1mAd.c. Since a d.c. voltage of 7... 10kV is required, the diverter switch unit must be put o n a n insulated base. The feet of the diverter switch unit are made of insulating material. Current and voltage measurements on varistor elements should be car- ried out with an accuracy of less than 1.5% error (for possible measuring equipment see appendix, section 9.3). Enter the measured voltage values into table V of appendix, section 9.3. If t h e measurements were n o t car- : tM ried out within the temperature els QE range from + 15°C to + 26°C (tem- Cand 5 0 perature measured on the varistor Rey element), the values have to be ad- justed w i t h the corrective factors listed in table IV (section 9.3). Compare the measured voltages in kV against the original values shown on the varistor elements. Dif- ferences of = 6 % are permissible. In the event of larger differences contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen since replacement of the protective circuitry might Please advise a l l m e a s u r e d values become necessary.

REINSTALLING THE DIVER- TER SWITCH UNIT Remove the tap changer head cover (24 screws M10 (w.s. 17) with lock washers). Lower the diverter switch unit carefully into the oil compartment. Take care that the markings on the oil compartment and supporting plate correspond (fig. 43a,b). Fix the diverter switch unit (7 screws M 8 or 15 screws M 8 (w.s. 13), max. torque 22Nm, locked by spring washers). Remount the position indicating disc (coupling plate and fixing screw M 5 (w.s. 8), max. torque SNm, fig. 44 a,b). 7. FILLING IN THE OIL Fill new oil into the oil compartment up to the level of the supporting plate. Shut the tap changer head by its cover, see fig.45 a,b (24 screws M10, w.s. 17, max. torque 34 Nm, spring washers). Make sure that the gasket is in good condition (if not, replace ring gasket). Open the stop valve between pro- tective relay and oil conservator. Vent the tap changer head through the bleeder screw on the tap changer head cover, and also the suction pipe (cap nut M16 (w.s. 22), slotted head screw). I n case-of stationary oil filter: vent the oil filter unit. Fill up the oil conservator t o its original level with new oil. 18 8.
