TESTS ON ON-LOAD TAP CHANGER

WORK INSTRUCTION WI-I&QC-07 Revision: 00 Page 2 of 3

1.0

PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines to the Testing Engineer to verify the operation of the on-load tap changer at various conditions of the transformer i.e. unenergized, unloaded, loaded & reduced conditions.

2.0

SCOPE This instruction applies to the in-house & final testing of the HV Transformer.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS 1. All connections should be tight. 2. Proper clearances should be observed. 3. Proper alignment between the tap changer indicator and the motor drive indicator should be ascertained.

10.0

INSTRUCTIONS With the tap changer fully assembled on the transformer the following sequence of operations shall be performed without failure. a. With the transformer un-energized, eight complete cycles of operation (a cycle of operation goes from one end of the tapping range to the other, and back again). b. With the transformer un-energized, and with the auxiliary voltage reduced to 85% of its rated value, one complete cycle of operation. c. With the transformer energized at rated voltage and frequency at no load, one complete cycle of operation. This test may be performed after performing the no load test. d. With one winding short circuited and, as far as practicable, rated current in the tapped winding, 10 tap change operations across the range of two steps on each side from where a coarse or reversing changeover selector operates, or otherwise from the middle tapping.
