3 Standards and regulations for explosion-proof on-load tap-changers4 Measures for ensuring compliance with explosion protection requirements
4 Measures for ensuring compliancewith explosion protection require-ments
For certification of the on-load tap-changer for application inareas subject to explosion hazard, explosion protection class"nAC" according to the harmonized EN 60079-15 standard isused.
4.1 Oil quality for explosion-proof on-load tap-changers
The quality of the insulating oil in the diverter switch oilcompartment that is required according to IEC 60296 isensured through compliance with the thermal applicationcriteria specified in IEC 60214, and through application ofvacuum cells in transition circuits.
4.2 Oil quality for the explosion-proof transformer
During switching operations, sparks (low energy) may begenerated at the tap selector of the on-load tap-changer inthe transformer oil chamber.Sections 5.1.6 and 5.1.7 of the IEC 60214 on-load tap-changer standard must be followed.
CAUTION
The oil quality and the dielectric strength must be checkedregularly.
The service intervals (oil change) must be complied with.
For certain on-load tap changer types (see OperatingInstructions no. 18, oil filter plant) an MR oil filter plant isused.
4.3 Maximum surface temperature (DIN 60079-0after 5.3)
During each switching operation additional heat is transferredto the oil. The heat originates from the transition resis-tors. Theswitch-off value of the temperature sensor is set such that thetemperature of the warmest oil layers in tap-changer oilcompartment does not exceed +130 °C. Temperaturemonitoring in the on-load tap-changer cover prevents furtherswitching operations of the on-load tap-changer, thuspreventing an additional temperature rise of the insulating oilin the on-load tap-changer. This ensures that the surfacetemperature at the on-load tap-changer, the protective relayand the oil filter plant does not exceed 130°C duringoperation.
For each order, the set value of the temperature sensor isspecified individually for all explosion-proof on-load tapchanger types.
CAUTION
The set value of the temperature monitoring system is setin the factory. This value must not be changed.
3.2 Explosion protection types
The following standards and regulations apply to explosion-proof on-load tap-changers:
• Protection type "nAC" according to EN 60079-15 forsparking equipment with suitably protected contacts(except restricted breathing enclosures, energy-limitedcircuits or pressurized apparatus).
• Supplementary requirements apply to:
vacuum interrupters- hermetically sealed equipment that generates arcs,
sparks or hot surfaces
the on-load tap-changer oil compartment- sealed or enclosed equipment that generates arcs,sparks or hot surfaces

5 Installation instructions
5.2 On-load tap-changer oil system equipment
The explosion-proof on-load tap-changer must only beoperated in conjunction with an explosion-proof protectiverelay.
5.5 Dehydrating breather
A dehydrating breather [6] (see fig. 2) with oil barrierprevents water, impurities, insects etc. from entering theinsulating oil.
5.6 Oil conservator
The oil conservator [5] (see fig. 2) ensures that all oil systempiping of the on-load tap-changer is always filled with insu-lating oil during the operation (when temperature changes ofthe insulating oil occur).
5.7 Level indicator
A level indicator [3] (see fig. 2) enables the level of theprotective fluid to be monitored during operation.The maximum and minimum level of the protective fluidmust be clearly identified.
5.8 Monitoring of the protective fluid level
Monitoring of the protective fluid level [4] (see fig. 2) in theoil conservator ensures that during the specified operationthe oil system piping of the on-load tap-changer is alwaysfilled with insulating oil.The minimum permissible protective fluid level is in the oilconservator. The protective fluid level must be monitoredcontinuously at the oil conservator during operation via alimit value contact or limit value contacts (if prior warning isrequired).
5.3 Insulating oil
MR on-load tap-changers, protective relays and associated oilfilter plants must only be operated with insulating oil accord-ing to IEC 60296 and IEC 60422. This requirement is currentlyspecified in the Technical Data / General Part / Section 2.16(and noted in the operating instructions for the explosion-proof on-load tap-changer and the explosion-proof protec-tive relay).
5.4 Level control
The explosion-proof on-load tap-changer must only beoperated in conjunction with an oil conservator with levelcontroller. Using a suitable oil system, the oil conservator orthe fittings and the pipes must ensure the oil level in the on-load tap-changer oil conservator.The customer is responsible for the installation of the oilconservator and all associated piping. It is not part of MR’sscope of delivery.
CAUTION
Any existing stop valves may not be allowed to affect levelregulation.
CAUTION
If the oil level falls below the lowest permissible protectivefluid level, the transformer must be turned off.

8 Installing the on-load tap-changer in a transformer with bell-type cover
To install the on-load tap-changer in a transformer with abell-type cover, the on-load tap-changer must be mountedonto a supporting structure. For this purpose, the bottompart of the tap-changer head is designed as a supportingflange (see appendix, drawing 899110).
Firstly, lift the on-load tap-changer into the supportingstructure and connect it to the tap winding. The on-load tap-changer must be attached to the supporting structure in sucha way so it cannot be displaced.
The supporting flange is provided with drill holes, so it can befixed to the supporting structure easily. Placing spacer blocksbetween the supporting structure and the supporting flangetemporarily may be of help. These are to be removed beforeattaching the bell-type cover.
Once the bell-type cover is attached, lift the on-load tap-changer with the lifting device (see appendix, drawing899110) and fix it to the bell-type cover together with thetop part of the head.
To attach the tap-changer head to the bell-type cover, werecommend using a mounting flange as described in section7.1.
NOTE
Due to the supporting structure, the diverter switch withan external change-over selector is limited in its installa-tion position. The supporting structure and the change-over selector including the activation lever must not collide(see appendix, drawing 899409).
The transformer ratio test and drying process are to becarried out according to sections 10 and 11.
CAUTION
Make sure that the connected leads do not exert any forceon the on-load tap-changer.In addition, there should be sufficient slack so that the on-load tap-changer can be raised to its final installationposition after the bell-type cover is attached.
8.1 Installing the on-load tap-changer inthe supporting structure
Lift the on-load tap-changer into the supporting structure.Check the installation position of the tap-changer and fix itsecurely.
By using the temporary spacer blocks between the supportingstructure and the supporting flange, the on-load tap-changeris at the correct final installation height after the bell-typecover is attached.This means the leads to be connected to the on-load tap-changer are correctly dimensioned in length.Connect the tap winding and the tap-changer lead accordingto section 9.
CAUTION
When attaching the on-load tap-changer, ensure that thelifting device uses 4 cables of equal length, at least 1m (seeappendix, drawing 899110), otherwise the equipment maybe damaged.
NOTE
The on-load tap-changer must be suspended exactlyvertical in the supporting structure.The on-load tap changer must be installed, so it cannot belifted by more than 5-20 mm after the bell-type cover isattached.

11 Drying process and oil filling10 Transformer ratio test
It is recommended that a transformer ratio test be carried outbefore the transformer undergoes drying.
To operate the drive shaft of the tap-changer head, a pipe(nominal width 25mm) with screwed-in coupling bolts(diameter 12mm) and a hand wheel or hand crank can beused.
16.5 drive shaft revolutions are required for one tap changeoperation. You should be able to hear the switching action ofthe on-load tap-changer clearly.
When operating the change-over selector (adjustment posi-tion ± 1 tap position), noticeable by the increased expendi-ture of force, the tap-change operation already under waymust always be completed without changing the rotationdirection.
Keep the number of tap-change operations without oil to aminimum.
The end positions, which are given in the connection diagramsupplied with the equipment (position designation), mustnever be overrun. To ensure this, always check the operatingposition reached through the inspection window on the tap-changer head (fig. 14).
After the transformer ratio test, the on-load tap-changermust be operated back to the adjustment position (seeconnection diagram supplied with the on-load tap-changer).

19 Maintenance
Maintenance intervals:Maintenance has to be carried out on the VACUTAP® VV-Ex after every 300,000 tap-change operations.
The scope and type of maintenance are specified in thecorresponding Maintenance Instructions from MR.
If the appropriate preparations are made, a proper main-tenance can be carried out within a day.
The on-load tap-changer VACUTAP® VV-Ex with VACUTAP®-vacuum switching technology has considerably longermaintenance intervals when compared to conventional tap-changers with oil switching technology, which dramaticallylowers operating and maintenance costs.This means that properly conducted maintenance is even moreimportant. For this reason we emphatically recommend thatour Technical Service Department carry out each maintenance.As well as guaranteeing that all work is properly carried out,specific components are also retro-fitted to the latest standardof technology.
If a maintenance is not carried out by our Technical Servicedepartment, please ensure that the personnel who carry outthe maintenance are trained by MR or are otherwise suitablyqualified to carry out the work.
19 Maintenance
CAUTION
The oil compartment and its associated oil conservatormust only be filled with new insulating oil for transformersaccording to IEC 60296 (Specification for unused mineralinsulating oils for transformers and switchgear) and IEC60422 (Supervision and maintenance guide for mineralinsulating oils in electrical equipment). For dielectricstrength limit values see table 1. The use of any other oilsmay put the trouble-free operation of the on-load tap-changer and the transformer at risk.
WARNING
Disregarding the maintenance intervals or an incomplete /improper maintenance can lead to severe damage on theon-load tap-changer and the transformer.
In such a case, we would ask you to forward us a report on themaintenance performed, to complete our maintenancerecords. For inquires about spare parts we ask you to informus about the serial number (see the name plate on the motor-drive unit) and the number of switching operations.
In addition to the maintenance intervals mentioned above theswitching elements of the diverter switch unit must be replacedafter 600,000 tap-change operations, the diverter switch insertand the gearing mechanism after 1,200,000 tap-changeoperations and the change-over selector of the on-load tap-changer after 2,100,000 tap-change operations (counter rea-ding/motor drive).
