HM0.460.001 6.4 Connection between tap of voltage regulating winding and terminal of tap- changer The tap of the voltage regulating winding must be connected according to the wiring schematic diagram. NOTE! Mechanical stress may damage the OLTC. CAUTION! The wiring of all tapping leads connected to the tap-changer must be reliable and tight.
HM0.460.001 7. Transformer ratio test and transformer DC resistance measurement CAUTION! When without oil and before drying, OLTC shall not operate more than 10 cycles. CAUTION! Incomplete tap change operation can cause damage to the OLTC! NOTE! It is suggested that the ratio test and DC resistance measurement should be carried out before drying.
HM0.460.001 For two or three sets of linkage OLTC group, all tap-changer heads should be connected with horizontal shaft. For a tap change, the sound of the diverter switch action can be heard clearly. During operation, each operation position should be observed at any time through the observation window on the tap-changer head (Figure 22), so as to avoid exceeding the end position of the tap-changer.
HM0.460.001 8. Drying process and oil filling 8.1 Drying process To ensure the insulation property of tap-changer, necessary drying must be taken as per below description (vacuum drying or vapor phase drying). 8.1.1 Vacuum drying CAUTION! OLTC top cover, transmission gear box and OLTC accessories are not allowed to be vacuum dried together with the transformer in the drying oven.

HM0.460.001 9.6 Installation of driving shaft shield cover 9.6.1 Installation of horizontal shield cover The length of the horizontal shield is determined by the design of the transformer manufacturer. After installation of the driving shaft, put the clamps on both ends of the horizontal shield covers (provided in the accessories), then clamp them on the protruding platform of the gear box and the bevel gear box, and finally move the clamps to the protruding platform positions on both sides, tighten it.
Page 40
HM0.460.001 9.6.2.3 Put the two shield covers outside of the driving shaft with the gaps at both ends, and the thicker one on the top. Then connect it to the middle of the bevel gear box and motor drive unit according to the figure below.
HM0.460.001 9.7 Installation of tap-changer group The arrangement of tap-changer group composed of several units of tap-changers is quite special, and every tap-changer is at the setting position. The connection steps are as follows: 1) Check whether the operating positions of all on-load tap-changers are the same (check from the tap- changer head observation window and every tap-changer must be at the adjusting position).
Page 42
HM0.460.001 6) Rotate each shaft end counterclockwise to run every step of the tap-changer once, until the diverter switch operates for one full cycle. 7) Check whether the operating positions of every tap-changer head and the MDU are the same. 8) Install horizontal drive shafts between every tap-changer head.
HM0.460.001 9.8 Tap position calibration of tap-changer transmission system When the tap-changer is connected to the MDU, manual operation for one cycle before electric operation is required When OLTC coupling with MDU, the time interval between the moment the diverter switch operates and the the completion of MDU operation is required to be the same for the two rotation directions.
HM0.460.001 10. Tap-changer Factory test and test preparation 10.1 Test preparation 10.1.1 OLTC Fully gas release Before putting into operation for the first time, use the gas discharge stopper in the oil suction pipe on the tap-changer head to deflate the connection pipe. 10.1.1.1 Gas release 1) Remove the M30 bolt cap on the bleeding device E1 (36mm wrench) (Figure 41).
Page 45
HM0.460.001 10.1.2 Grounding 1) Connect the grounding bolt of the tap-changer head to the transformer tank cover (1 piece of M12 bolt and nut) with a 19mm wrench, torque of 50 to 60 N.m. (Figure 43). 2) Connect the transmission mechanism’s grounding bolt M12 (19mm wrench, torque 50 to 60 N.m.) connected to the transformer tank.
HM0.460.001 10.2 Test in transformer factory 10.2.1 Operation test Pre- operation must be carried out to check the mechanical functions of the tap-changer and the motor- drive unit before the transformer is energized. CAUTION! Continue to operate the tap-changer without oil will cause damage to the tap- changer!...
Page 47
HM0.460.001 10.2.2 The electrical test of the transformer DANGER! There is explosive gas under the tap-changer cover, in the connection system, oil conservator and the outlet of air dryer. The flying parts and the high temperature oil splashing to the outside will cause fatal and serious injury.
HM0.460.001 11. Transformer transportation and put into operation on site 11.1 Remove the MDU for transportation 1) Place the MDU at the calibration position and then remove the coupling 2) Remove the MDU 3) Do not operate the MDU when the tap-changer is not connected well. The re-assembly of the MDU and drive shaft must be carried out according to Chapter 9.3 to 9.7 of this instruction manual.
4) Please make sure that the OLTC oil conservator’s lowest oil level signal contact is connected to the circuit breaker’s trip circuit. 5) Check whether the gas relay function is normal according to the Huaming gas relay QJ-25 series instruction manual.
- Before putting into operation again, OLTC and transformer must be inspected for damages. NOTE! Please contact Huaming service team if OLTC and MDU have severe problems or the protective relay actions and it’s not easy to fix on site.
HM0.460.001 13. Maintenance Electric shock! An energized transformer may cause death or serious injury. Danger! ►Turn off the high voltage and low voltage ends of the transformer. ►Lock the transformer to prevent accidental restart. ►Ensure that all components are powered off. ►Clearly ground all transformer terminals (ground wire, ground isolation switch) and short-circuit them.
