8.2 Oil Level During Transport
The following adjustments of the oil level should be carried out when the on-load tap-
changer should be transported.
8.2.1 Transformer filled with Oil
The transformer is transported filled with oil. When the transformer is transported filled
with oil the on-load tap-changer should also be transported filled with oil.
8.2.1.1 Conservator mounted
The diverter switch housing should be filled to normal operating level and the valve to
the conservator should be open.
8.2.1.2 Conservator dismounted
The oil level of the diverter switch housing should be lowered to 150 mm below the
upper edge of the housing.
When the conservator is removed, take off the cover of the diverter switch housing and
drain oil with a pump to 150 mm below the upper edge of the housing. Remount the
cover. Turn the cover so the guiding pin in the housing is facing the guiding hole in the
cover. Make sure the gasket is properly in place. Seal all flange connections by
mounting gaskets and covers. Shut all valves.
8.2.2 Transformer drained
The transformer is transported without oil. When the transformer is transported without
oil the on-load tap-changer should also be transported without oil.
