Function descriptionOn-load tap-changers are used to adjust the desired tap of a tap winding un-der load.

The on-load tap-changer is based on the reactor switching principle anduses vacuum cells to change the tap position under load. In this process, thearc is extinguished isolated in a vacuum cell, preventing contaminants fromentering the oil.

The reactor switching principle ensures the on-load tap-changer is in a de-fined, conducting state at all times. In the event of a loss of power in thedrive, the on-load tap-changer remains in the last position that was reached.

Voltage regulation

The on-load tap-changer is equipped with a control unit/regulation unit thatenables you to have automatic voltage regulation. You can configure all theparameters you need for this purpose via the web interface.

Basic circuit arrangements of the tapped transformer withpreventive auto transformer

A preventive auto transformer (PA) enables additional operating positions foran on-load tap-changer. The output voltage corresponds to half of the volt-age between two taps of the tap winding:

UStep = 0.5 · Utap

This requires fewer taps for the same number of positions than when using ahigh-speed resistor-type tap changer. The PA limits the circulating currentduring diverter switch operation. Current flows through it at all times. A circuitof two partial impedances is selected, in which the load current flow does notcause a voltage drop in an ideal coupling. In the non-bridging position, thelosses are reduced to the copper losses of the PA windings.

The layout of the PA depends on the basic circuit arrangement operated inthe on-load tap-changer. The following is a description of the two basic "with-out equalizer winding" and "with equalizer winding" circuit arrangements(see following illustrations). The equalizer winding is an additional windingon the core of the transformer that is center tapped and has half of the num-ber of windings between the taps of the tap winding. Thus the following ap-plies for the voltage of the equalizer winding.

UEW = UStep = 0.5 · Utap

In addition to the circuits shown, it is possible to arrange the on-load tap-changer and PA at the beginning (UA = 0) or end (UB = 0) of a winding. How-ever, the PA in use specifically has to be approved for this arrangement.

If the on-load tap-changer is not located at the end of the winding (mainwinding section B with UB ≠ 0 according to the on-load tap-changer), thenyou can integrate the equalizer winding into the main winding section. Thissimplifies the winding design since fewer winding taps are needed and theinsulation spacing between the equalizer winding and main winding section

B no longer applies. In addition, half of the number of windings in the equal-izer winding are no longer necessary, which reduces winding losses (see fol-lowing illustration).

Figure 3: Circuit with equalizer winding, simplified

Since the equalizer winding is connected opposite the tap winding, the volt-age at the PA is halved. This halves the power of the PA, while also approxi-mately halving the volume. If both selector contacts are on the same fixedcontact, a circulating current also flows when an equalizer winding is pres-ent. In this position, the losses of the transformer are greater.

In the illustrations above, both branches of the tap changer are on contact"1". The output voltage Uout is the sum of the voltages of both main windings.

Usually, the PA is measured on the basis of its rated output SPA. This con-sists of the rated current IPA and the rated voltage UPA of the PA. Taking intoaccount that the circulating current corresponds to half of the measured rat-ed through-current, the following is true for the rated current of the PA:

IPA = 0.5 · IU

The PA rated voltage depends on the basic circuit arrangement.

Without equalizerwinding

With equalizer wind-ing

PA rated voltage UPA = UTap = 2·UStep UPA = 0.5 · UTap = UStep

Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments

WARNING Danger of death and damage to property!Danger of death and damage to property due to tipping or falling load! Transport crate only when closed. Do not remove the mounting material used in the crate during transport. Only trained and appointed persons may select the sling gear and se-

cure the load. Do not walk under the hanging load. Use means of transport and lifting gear with a sufficient carrying capaci-

ty in accordance with the weight stated on the delivery slip.

In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expectedduring transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping,tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.

If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or expe-riences an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of theweight.

Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipientbefore acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt): Completeness based on the delivery slip External damage of any type.

The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con-tainer can be accessed from all sides.

If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceedas follows: Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-

ments and have this countersigned by the carrier. In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-

ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen andthe relevant insurance company.

After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipmentfurther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decisionhas been made by the transport company or the insurance company.

Record the details of the damage immediately onsite together with thecarrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!

Photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This also ap-plies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture insidethe packaging (rain, snow, condensation).

NOTICE! Be absolutely sure to also check the sealed packaging. If thesealed packaging is damaged, do not under any circumstances install orcommission the packaged goods. Either dry the dried packaged goodsagain as per the operating instructions for the relevant on-load tap-

When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows: Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by

telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report. Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective

country. Inquire about these in good time.

With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (orother responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages canonly be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-ance terms and conditions.

Storage of shipments

Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen

Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goodsdried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and storeair-tight in dry insulating oil until used if the packaged goods were not sup-plied in oil.

Non-dried packaged goods

Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can bestored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.

When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following: Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting

snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, andagainst unauthorized access.

Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-ing damp and for better ventilation.

Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground. Keep entrance paths free. Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action af-

ter storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.

Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrateunder the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose itssealing function.

Electrical high-voltage tests on the transformer

WARNING Danger of death or severe injury!Danger of death or severe injury from explosive gases under the on-loadtap-changer head cover, in the pipework system, in the oil conservator, atthe dehydrating breather opening, and from flying parts and hot oil splash-ing! Ensure that there are no naked flames, hot surfaces or sparks (for ex-

ample caused by static charging) in the immediate surroundings andthat none occur.

Ensure that the oil compartment of the on-load tap-changer is com-pletely filled with oil.

Only use conductive and grounded hoses, pipes, and pump equipmentthat are approved for flammable liquids.

Ensure that all the on-load tap-changer's safety equipment is ready foruse.

Use suitable personal protective equipment/clothing. Keep away from the danger area during the transformer test. Observe applicable fire protection regulations. Make sure that only trained technicians perform work on the transform-

er.

Every on-load tap-changer has been specially designed by the manufacturerfor the transformer in the respective purchase order and is subjected to stricttests and quality controls at the manufacturer’s factory.

However, joint operation of transformer and on-load tap-changer cannot besimulated by the manufacturer and cannot be tested on the on-load tap-changer alone.

For this reason, irregularities or malfunctions cannot be completely ruled outduring the transformer test (i.e., testing the first joint operation of transformerand on-load tap-changer).

It is absolutely mandatory that all the on-load tap-changer protective devicesprovided are ready for operation.

For this reason, it is essential that you ensure only trained, instructed expertpersonnel who are familiar with and comply with the pertinent safety andtechnical regulations, who are aware of the potential risks, and who consis-tently use the occupational safety equipment provided to prevent injury andproperty damage are assigned to perform such a transformer test.

Note the following points for the electrical high-voltage tests on the trans-former: Disconnect control unit/regulation unit before the high voltage test. Leads used for testing must be removed before the high voltage test, as

these function as antennas.

If you have any questions about possible sources of danger, consult themanufacturer before starting to test the transformer.

The electrical tests required for transformer acceptance may only be under-taken once the aforementioned work is complete.

Dielectric tests on transformer wiringNote the following points for dielectric tests on the transformer wiring:

The motor-drive unit and control unit/regulation unit are put through dielectrictests before delivery. Before the dielectric test for the transformer wiring, disconnect the mo-

tor-drive unit and control unit/regulation unit from the section to be test-ed to rule out increased component loading for those components fittedin the motor-drive unit and the control unit/regulation unit.

To obtain a better overview when connecting cables, only use as manyleads as necessary.

ü Use only the specified cables for wiring. Note cable recommendation[ 61].

ü Note connection diagram.1. Connect the control unit/regulation unit to the voltage supply on low-volt-

age side.2. Establish the three-phase connection. If N and PE are routed separate-

ly, it is important to ensure that PE is routed as a collective groundingwithin the device.

3. Fuse supply cables accordingly.

The equipment may only be connected to circuits with an external isolatingdevice for all poles so the equipment can be fully de-energized if required(service, maintenance etc.).

The electrical voltage has to be supplied by the controlled transformer itself.

4. Close control unit/regulation unit.5. Switch on medium voltage (transformer is idle).

ð Control unit/regulation unit is supplied with power and starts by it-self. The Status OK signal lamp lights up green if the control unit/regulation unit has already been commissioned by the transformermanufacturer. If the signal lamp lights up red then the control unit/regulation unit has not yet been put into operation. Therefore, it hasto be [ 52] adjusted on site. Only carry out "automatic adjustment"with an open busbar on the low-voltage side since the on-load tap-changer moves through the entire regulating range and this can re-sult in excessive voltage deviations for consumers.

4. Activate auto mode. This is done with the standard variant by moving ro-tary switch to auto mode (Auto) position. With the key-operated switchvariant, move the Man./Auto illuminated button to auto mode (illuminat-ed button lights up).ð After the delay time, the on-load tap-changer moves back into the

range of the set bandwidth.5. Activate manual mode. In the standard variant this is done by moving

the rotary switch to manual mode (Man.) position. With the key-operatedswitch variant, move the key-operated switch into the Local position andset the Man./Auto illuminated button to manual mode (illuminated buttondoes not light up).

ð Automatic voltage regulation is checked.

If the automatic voltage regulation isn't working as you would like, check theset parameters of the voltage regulator (e.g. desired value, bandwidth, de-lay time).

Transmission ratio

If necessary, you can check the transmission ratios of the individual tap posi-tions. To do so, proceed as follows:1. Activate manual mode. In the standard variant this is done by moving

the rotary switch to manual mode (Man.) position. With the key-operatedswitch variant, move the key-operated switch into the Local position andset the Man./Auto illuminated button to manual mode (illuminated buttondoes not light up).

2. Approach all tap positions one after another and measure the voltage onthe low-voltage side of the transformer in each position.

3. Compare voltages with details on the transformer name plate.

Switching on the low-voltage busbarOnce you have connected the control unit/regulation unit and undertaken tri-al tap-change operations, you can commission the low-voltage busbar as fol-lows:1. Move on-load tap-changer to mid-position.

It may be a good idea to move the on-load tap-changer into a position otherthan the mid-position. This allows you to minimize voltage differences be-tween the connecting grids and therefore the inrush current impulse.

NOTICE

Damage to the on-load tap-changer and transformer!An inrush current impulse which has not fully subsided can damage the on-load tap-changer and transformer in the event of an on-load tap changingoperation! Once the transformer has been switched on, ensure that the inrush cur-

rent impulse has fully subsided before undertaking an on-load tapchanging operation. The inrush current impulses are usually a multipleof the transformer rated current and can overload the on-load tap-changer during the diverter switch operation.

After the transformer has been switched on and the inrush current impulsehas subsided, on-load tap-changer tap-change operations can be performedboth under no load and load conditions.

Setting the operating responsesThe following parameters let you set the operating responses of the controlunit/regulation unit. Skip intermediate positions: If you enable this parameter, the control

unit/regulation unit skips the intermediate positions in auto mode (tappositions 2, 4, 6, 8) and switches to the next stationary tap position aftera set delay time (1, 3, 5, 7, 9). This prevents any losses that may occurat the intermediate positions.

Delay time when skipping: The time the on-load tap-changer spends atan intermediate position if the "Skip intermediate positions" function isenabled.

Min./Max. perm. tap position: Minimum and maximum permitted tap po-sition to which the control unit/regulation unit can move.

Current measurement: This parameter lets you enable current measure-ment if you have connected a current transformer. Current measure-ment is used for the "Current-based desired voltage value" and "Power-based target voltage value" control functions.

Current transformer factor: This parameter lets you set the transmissionratio of your current transformer.

Overvoltage blocking/undervoltage blocking: The overvoltage blockingand undervoltage blocking limit values are used to block tap-change op-erations when the control deviations are very large. If the set limit valuesare exceeded, no switching commands are issued to the motor-driveunit during automatic voltage regulation.

Enable the local voltage regulator for SCADA failure in "Remote" operat-ing mode: If you activate this parameter, the device activates the localvoltage regulator with the control algorithm selected at the respectivepoint in time if transmission over SCADA happens to fail.

Control algorithm selection: This parameter lets you select the controlalgorithm. For more information, refer to the information in the section ti-tled Configuring voltage regulation [ 76].

Configuring the remote sensors

You can use up to 4 remote sensors. To use the sensors, you have to setthe following parameters for each: Enable sensor: This parameter lets you enable or disable the sensor.

Note that the sensors have to be enabled in ascending order. If you dis-able sensor 2, for example, sensors 3 and 4 are also disabled.

Name: This parameter lets you set the name for a sensor. You can en-ter up to 10 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9, A to Z).

IP address ASDU address (byte 1 and byte 2) Timeout interval: The timeout interval for receiving a SCADA telegram

for the remote sensor. If the set time is exceeded, the status of the sen-sor changes to Error (red).

In addition, you can see the current status of the sensor: OK status (gray): Sensor is not active. OK status (green): There is a connection to the sensor. OK (flashing green): Data is being transmitted. Error status (red): Timeout interval exceeded.

Proceed as follows to configure the remote sensors:1. Call up the web interface [ 73].2. Select the Configure remote sensors submenu.

Limit value response

You can also set the following parameters for the limit value response: Threshold for high-speed return/high-speed raise tap-change operation Preferred exceptional situation

The voltage is regulated in three phases. As soon as one of the 3 phasesleaves the permitted bandwidth, the voltage regulator triggers a tap-changeoperation once the delay time has elapsed. In exceptional cases—if there isa significant spread in the voltage of individual phases—this could result inthe voltage of one phase returning to the permitted bandwidth after a tap-change operation but the voltage of another phase leaving the permitted
