1. Introduction

1.1 General

The motor-drive mechanisms, types BUE and BUL2,
manufactured by ABB, have been developed over many years
to provide maximum reliability. The simple and robust design
gives a service life equal to the service life of the transformer.
Minimum maintenance is required for trouble-free operations.
The motor-drive mechanism is attached to the transformer
tank and connected to the on-load tap-changer by means of
drive shafts and a bevel gear.

1.2 Design

The design and layout of the motor-drive mechanisms are
shown in Figs. 1 and 2 (BUE) and Figs. 3 and 4 (BUL2).
