OILTAP M
On-Load Tap-Changer
for Regulating Transformers

On-Load Tap-Changer
OILTAP M

model M III 350 Y,

Um = 123 kV, 350 A, 9 steps

The OILTAP M on-load tap-changer is used to vary the ratio of oil-immersed transformers under load. In general it is designed for network
transformer as well as industrial transformer applications. The tap-changers comprise a diverter switch and a tap selector in a single column
design and represent the most recent state of technology. The tap-changers offer both transformer manufacturer and user a great number of
essential advantages.
Versatility
three-pole design for neutral application at 350 A, 500 A and 600 A ratings for three-phase wye-connected windings
single-pole designs at 350 A, 500 A, 600 A, 800 A, 1200 A and 1500 A ratings for auto connected windings or single-phase transformers
available with 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 steps
insulation to ground and tap selector size can be selected independently of one another
convenient for bell-type tank installation
additional devices for potential tie-in of tap winding during change-over operation of the change-over selector
(tie-in resistors, potential contact)
Compactness
high speed transition resistor type diverter switch with arc extinction at the first current zero
diverter switch uses snap-action mechanics by energy accumulator mounted directly on the diverter switch
minimum possible tap selector dimensions because four available sizes ensure matched impulse voltage withstandability
radial dimensions of the tap selector are reduced by special shaping of all parts on high potential, distances between tap selector bars
determined by actual voltage stress
optimised integration of the change-over selector into the fine selector contact circle
Robustness long life
rapid tap change operation, low thermal stress on the transition resistors
diverter switch arcing contacts made of tungsten-copper alloy at 500 A and above
simple tap selector design, effective contact cooling, high short-circuit withstandability
tap selector gear with steady torque during the tap-changer operation
Easy to install cost saving
oil-immersed installation of the entire tap-changer in the transformer main tank
simple to connect
drive shaft and pipe connections easy to orientate
straight forward coupling to motor drive unit
Reduced maintenance
long contact life
quick and easy to disassemble diverter switch insert
simple to adjust and control
oil suction pipe built-in
diverter switch contacts easy to replace
