WARNING Be aware of the risk for slipperiness caused by oil spillage for instance when working on the transformer cover. The motor-drive mechanism must not be installed in any explosive atmosphere. The electrical equipment creates sparks which can cause an explosion. Before any work is carried out on the on-load tap-changer: Make sure that the transformer is disconnected and that earthing is properly carried out.

During oil filling WARNING When oil that has been used in a selector switch housing is pumped out, conducting tubes and hoses that are earthed should be used to avoid the risk of explosion due to the gases produced by the arcs during service. CAUTION Do not fill oil into the on-load tap-changer if the transformer tank is under vacuum and the on-load tap-changer is not.
1 Introduction 1. Introduction The delivery consists of on-load tap-changer, motor-drive mechanism and drive shaft sys- tem. The on-load tap-changer may be specified for cover-mounting or for yoke-mounting. Cover-mounting means that the on-load tap-changer is lowered through a hole in the trans- former cover and then bolted straight onto the transformer cover.

Filling in this guide. 1.4 Oil conservator The on-load tap-changer has to be connected to an oil conservator. ABB recommends the use of a separate conservator for the on-load tap-changer with both oil and air side sepa- rated from the main conservator of the transformer.
1 Introduction 1.5 Oil filter unit for continuous oil filtration If the on-load tap-changer should have an oil filter unit for continuous oil filtration from ABB, installation and commissioning instructions can be found in the manual for the oil filter unit, ”Oil Filter Unit for On-Load Tap-Changers, Manual”...
It is also recommended that photos are taken of the damaged details. Mark the photos with ABB’s reference number and the serial number of the on-load tap-changer and send them to ABB for comments.
3 Installation in the transformer 3. Installation in the transformer The cover-mounting method or yoke-mounting method is used. When lifting an UBB model it is recommended to use the lifting eyes on the on-load tap- changer top section. WARNING To put down the on-load tap-changer to stand on the floor without any support means a risk for tilting with risk for injuries to people and damage to the equipment.
3 Installation in the transformer 3.1.1 Connection to outside terminals The connection to terminals for change-over selector, selector switch and current collec- tor shall follow the connection diagram delivered with the on-load tap-changer. Connection holes for bolts M10 are Ø11 mm for all terminals. CAUTION All connections shall be made carefully and in such a way that there is no risk for them to come loose.
3 Installation in the transformer 3.2 Yoke-mounting (Pre-mounting on active part of the transformer). (For cover-mounting, see section 3.1). The top section of the on-load tap-changer is designed to be divided into an upper and a lower flange, see Fig. 6, to fit the yoke-mounting. Before the on-load tap-changer is lifted and attached to the transformer cover it rests on a fork consisting of two beams protruding from the upper transformer yoke.
3 Installation in the transformer 3.2.1 Mounting of the on-load tap-changer when transformer ratio measurement is carried out before drying Mounting to the ”yoke-fork” of the transformer, see Fig. 6.

Oil filter with housing can be ordered from ABB on the ”Ordering data” sheet. 5.5 Before operation Check that the on-load tap-changer and the motor-drive mechanism have the same indicated position and that the key position of the on-load tap-changer bevel gear is in accordance to Fig.
5 Final assembly 5.5.1 Transformer ratio measurement after drying If transformer ratio measurement is to be done after drying this is a suitable stage to carry it out. CAUTION To avoid seizing, do not operate the on-load tap-changer until it is filled with oil. Carry out this measurement after the drive system is mounted.
6 Pressure relay 6. Pressure relay 6.1 General The selector switch housing of the on-load tap-changer is supplied with a pressure relay. In the event of overpressure in the selector switch housing and, if correctly connected, the relay trips the transformer main circuit breakers. It is also recommended to connect the pressure relay in the trip circuit of the power supply during testing of the transformer.
6 Pressure relay 6.3 Checking at commissioning of the transformer Information plate Valve handle Test tap (R 1/8”) TC_00264 Fig. 34. Pressure relay. Set the valve handle in the test position as shown on the information plate. Connect the air pump and the pressure gauge to the test tap on the pressure relay. Raise the pressure until the pressure relay trips the circuit breakers for the transformer.
7 Oil filling 7. Oil filling 7.1 Filling methods and restrictions Oil filling can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. The wall between the on-load tap-changer and the transformer tank is designed to withstand vacuum on one side and atmospheric pressure on the other side.
7 Oil filling 7.3 Filling under vacuum Oil filling under vacuum is not necessary. If it is to be carried out, the on-load tap-changer and the transformer tank should be put under vacuum simultaneously. It is assumed that a vacuum-proof conservator is in use. Open the conservator valve, if any.
In case the on-load tap-changer is equipped with an oil filter unit for continuous oil filtration from ABB, and it is installed according to our recommendations, follow the instruc- tions in ”Oil filter unit for on-load tap-changers, manual” for restoring the gas cushion.
8 Electrical connection and testing 8. Electrical connection and testing 8.1 General Before the transformer is energized tests have to be made to make sure that all mechanical and electrical connections are correct, and to check the proper functioning of the on-load tap-changer and the motor-drive mechanism.
8 Electrical connection and testing For BUE: Run the motor-drive mechanism and check again that the red mark on the brake disc stops within the tolerance limits, see Fig. 13. If it is out of tolerance, charge the springs more or less by tightening or loosening the two adjustment nuts on the brake assembly.
Page 45
9 Transport 9. Transport 9.1 General If the transport dimensions allow, the transformer may be transported without dismantle any parts of the on-load tap-changer. If the motor-drive mechanism or any parts of the shaft system has to be dismantled for the transport, the parts must be marked to ensure they can be set up properly on site and with a minimum of work.
