Drive shaft system: Approx. 10 kg The tap-changer has to be connected to an oil conservator. ABB recommends the use of a separate conservator for the tap-changer with both oil and air side separated from the 1.7 Tightening torque main conservator of the transformer.
It is also recommended that photos are taken of the damaged details. Mark the photos with ABB’s reference number and the serial number of the tap-changer and send them to ABB for comments.
3. Installation in the transformer The cover-mounting method (chapter 3.1) or yoke-mounting 3.1 Cover-mounting method (chapter 3.2) is used. 1. Place the gasket (O-ring or plane gasket is usable) around the opening in the transformer cover. (This gasket is not When lifting an UBB model it is recommended to use the included in the tap-changer delivery).

Close the bottom valve. Tightening torque is approximately 15 Nm. 2. If a tie-in resistor from ABB is supplied, its screw joints are to be retightened (tightening torque 15 Nm) and locked by the method specified by the transformer manufacturer.
5. Final assembly 5.1 Mounting of the motor-drive mechanism See Figs. 1, 14 and 15. Proceed as follows: 1. Mount the motor-drive mechanism onto the transformer. The mounting holes on the transformer should be leveled within 1 mm. If adjustment is needed, shims should be used. 2.

WARNING If the position indicators on the motor-drive mechanism and on the tap-changer do not show the same position, a serious transformer failure could occur. 15. Operate one step. 16. Check that the tap-changer follows the motor-drive mechanism. 17. Operate the driving mechanism electrically between the end-positions.
8. Transport 8.1 General If the transport dimensions allow, the transformer may be transported without dismantle any parts of the tap-changer. If the motor-drive mechanism or any parts of the shaft system has to be dismantled for the transport, the parts must be marked to ensure they can be set up properly on site and with a minimum of work.
9. Commissioning CAUTION This section describes tasks to be carried out when the transformer is being installed and tested on site. If the protective motor switch has not released within 60 seconds, disconnect the power and check the CAUTION settings with the rating plate of the motor. Adjust if necessary and check again when the motor has The motor-drive mechanism must be protected cooled down.
