GENERAL

The protective relay serves for signalling a fault in the diverter switch / selector switch oil compartment and is to limit the damage to the on-load tap changer in case of a failure.It is, therefore, part of our delivery as a standard with all OLTC supplies.

3. DESIGN

The housing is provided with 2 flanges for connecting

pipes leading to the tap changer head and to the oil conservator.

The flap valve position can be checked through the inspection glass on front of the housing.

The terminals are housed in a terminal box sealed against the oil of the relay.

For checking the tripping function of the relay as well as for subsequently resting the flap valve, two test push buttons are installed in the terminal box.

3.2 Relay (Fig.2)

The relay drive element consists of the flap valve with attached permanent magnet. The magnet actuates thereed- contact and serves for fixing the flap valve in position Transformer in service An intermediate position of the flap valve is not possible.

4. FUNCTION

The protective relay is energized by an oil flow from the tap changer head to the oil conservator only.

The oil flow operates the flap valve , being tripped in to the OFF position. At that moment the reedcontact is actuated, the circuit breakers are operated and the transformer is switched off the line.

The protective relay is not energised by the tapchanger being subject to nominal load or permissible overload.

5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE5.1

Mounting

The protective relay has to be mounted in the

pipeleading from the tap changer head to the oil conservator. The relay must be located as near as

ossible to the tap changer head.

5.1.1 Prior to mounting, the protective relay function should be checked. Remove the cover of the

terminal box and operate.

Test push button : TRANSFORMER OFF

Flap valve is inclined ( line marker in the middle of the inspection window, Fig. 3)

To megger terminals please refer to the dimension drawing B21000 (contact Positions) Check always

the position of the flap valve.
