Manufacturer’s declaration ABB Power Technologies AB, Components The manufacturer SE-771 80 LUDVIKA Sweden Hereby declares that The products On-load tap-changers type with motor-drive mechanism type comply with the following requirements: By design, the machine, considered as component on a mineral oil filled power transformer, complies with the requirements of •...
Introduction The UC range of on-load tap-changers manufactured by ABB has been developed over many years to provide maximum reliability. The simple and rugged design gives a service life equal to the service life of the transformer. Minimum maintenance is required for trouble-free operation. The only parts requiring maintenance are contacts that might need replacement during the service life, the insulating oil and the motor-drive mechanism.
Operation – The position indicator shows the actual tap-position. – The draghands show the max. and min. tap-position between which the on-load tap-changer has been working since last resetting. – For BUE: The tap-change in progress indicator shows POSITION in service position, RAISE when operating in a raise operation and LOWER when operating in a lower operation.
To maintain the high reliability of the on-load tap-changer it is important that the inspections and the overhauls be carried out at the interval stated on the rating plate. A specialist is a service engineer from ABB or an authorized person trained by ABB for maintenance work on UC on-load tap-changers.

Call a specialist for restoring the gas cushion. Prepare for the outage of the transformer during the restoring. NOTE: In case the on-load tap-changer has an oil filter unit from ABB that is installed according to our instructions, no outage of the transformer is necessary.

7 Checking of the oil filter unit (option) If the on-load tap-changer is equipped with an oil filter unit from ABB: Read the pressure gauge. Note the reading so the change from year to year can be seen.
