Recommended practices ABB recommends careful consideration of the following factors when installing on-load tap- changers: Before you install or commission a unit, make sure that the personnel doing the job have read and fully understood the Installation and Commissioning Guide provided with the unit.

WARNING 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.

After oil filling CAUTION Do not energize the transformer earlier than three hours after oil filling in atmospheric pres- sure. This waiting period is needed to allow airbubbles to disappear. During service WARNING Small amounts of explosive gases will always come out from the breathing devices (dehydrating breather or one-way breather).
1 Introduction 1. Introduction The on-tank concept of on-load tap-changer, realized by ABB in the UZ range, is unique. The design offers advantages in installation and maintenance. The whole device is delivered installed in a tank that is simply mounted onto the transformer tank together with the motor- drive mechanism.
1 Introduction UZE requires the transformer conductors to be accessed from the rear of the on-load tap- changer. UZF has an inclined rear wall and a top cover that is removable to provide access to the transformer conductors. WARNING The cover for access to conductors on top of UZF tank may be opened after draining the transformer main tank.
The on-load tap-changer has to be connected to an oil conservator, except when it is an UZE with expansion volume in the tank. ABB recommends the use of a separate conserva- tor for the on-load tap-changer with both oil and air side separated from the main conserva- tor of the transformer.

1 Introduction 1.5 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 photographs be taken of the damaged details. Mark the photos with the serial number of the on-load tap-changer and send them to ABB for comments.
3 Drying 3. Drying Drying of the on-load tap-changer is normally not required, see section 2.2, step 6. The following temperatures and pressures between the on-load tap-changer tank and the transformer tank are allowed when drying: Pressure Standard on-load tap-changer On-load tap-changer with reinforced barrier Zero...
Ensure that the surfaces being in contact with the gaskets are clean and free from grease and oil. After cleaning, stick the gaskets to the transformer tank flange (Fig. 7) with ABB glue 1 3401-608, by brushing glue on both the gasket and the flange.
Page 17
The required amount of glue (ABB 1 3401-608) is 0.5 kg. Do not glue gaskets at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F). NOTE: ABB glue 1 3401-608 is a contact adhesive of nitrile rubber base. Sealing gasket Supporting gasket...
On UZE the winding has to be connected from the rear. On both UZE and UZF the cable lugs can be either crimped or brazed. The free distance between the cable lugs for adjacent contacts must be at least 7 mm. Tightening torque is 38 Nm.

Where the conservator is common to the transformer and the on-load tap-changer, an oil filter must be placed in the pipe between the on-load tap-changer and the conservator. Filter with housing can be ordered from ABB, ordering No. LL 114 004-AP. 1ZSE 5492-115 en, Rev. 5...
5 Pressure relay 5. Pressure relay 5.1 General The tank of the on-load tap-changer is supplied with a pressure relay. In the event of over- pressure in the tank the relay, if correctly connected, will trip the transformer’s main circuit breakers.
5 Pressure relay 5.3 Checking when commissioning the transformer Information plate Valve handle fm_00117 Test tap (R 1/8”) Fig. 10. 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.
UZE can be delivered with an oil expansion volume in top of the tank. The design of UZF does not allow an oil expansion volume in the tank. Instead, UZF can be delivered with a built-on oil conservator.
6 Oil filling 6.3 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.
Operate the on-load tap-changer electrically. Check that the flywheel in the motor-drive mechanism stops with the brake between the outer marks on the flywheel. For any adjust- ment needed, see 1ZSE 5492-123 Maintenance Guide for UZE/UZF. Operate the driving mechanism electrically between the end positions. Check the end stops.
7 Electrical connection and testing 7.3 Electrical tests on transformer Acceptance tests on the transformer or commissioning can now be performed. 7.4 After energizing WARNING 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.
Drain about 20 % of the oil from the on-load tap-changer. Oil weights according to sec- tion 1.3. Close the opening to the conservator with a transport cover. UZE with oil expansion volume in the tank The on-load tap-changer should be filled with oil. 8.1.2 Transformer drained Conservator mounted Drain the oil from the on-load tap-changer.
9 Commissioning 9. Commissioning This section describes tasks to be carried out when the transformer is being installed and tested on site. CAUTION The motor-drive mechanism must be protected against condensation. Energize the heater when power is available. When not available, put drying agent inside the motor-drive cabinet and seal the vents.
9 Commissioning 9.3.5 Heater Switch off all power supplies and feel by hand that the heater has been warmed up during earlier tests. Switch on the power afterwards. Check that the air vents are open. Remove the drying agent used during transport. 9.3.6 Pressure relay Check the function as per section 5.3.
