4.2 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
Danger of death and damage to property!
Danger of death and damage to property due to tipping or falling load.
► Only transport the crate when closed.
► Do not remove the securing material used in the crate during transport.
► If the product is delivered on a pallet, secure it sufficiently.
► Only trained and authorized persons may select the sling gear and se-
cure the load.
► Do not walk under the hanging load.
► Use means of transport and lifting gear with a sufficient carrying capacity
in accordance with the weight stated on the delivery slip.
In addition to oscillation stress, jolts must also be expected during trans­portation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or is subject to an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con­tainer can be accessed from all sides.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
Visible damage If external transport damage is found upon receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the identified transport damage in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the manufacturer and the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment fur-
ther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision has been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately on site together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages.
▪ Photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This also applies
to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture inside the packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
NOTICE! If the product is delivered in sealed packaging, inspect this im-
mediately. If the sealed packaging is damaged, do not under any circum­stances install or commission the packaged goods. Either re-dry the dried packaged goods as per the operating instructions, or contact the manu­facturer to agree on how to proceed. Failure to do so may result in dam­age to the packaged goods.
▪ Identify the damaged parts.
Hidden damage When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur­ance terms and conditions.
4.3 Storage of shipments
Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen
Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and store air-tight in dry insulating oil until used if the packaged goods were not sup­plied in oil.
Non-dried packaged goods
Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can be stored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting snow
and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and against unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action after
storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its sealing function.
If the product is installed more than 6 months after delivery, suitable mea­sures must be taken without delay. The following measures can be used:
▪ Correctly regenerate the drying agent and restore the sealed packaging.
▪ Unpack the packed goods and store in a suitable storage space (well ven-
tilated, as dust-free as possible, humidity < 50% where possible).
4.4 Unpacking shipments and checking for transportation damages
NOTICE! Transport the packaged crate to the place where installation will
take place. Do not open the sealed packaging until just before installation. If this is not done, damage to the packaged goods may occur due to inef­fectively sealed packaging.
WARNING! When unpacking, check the condition of the packaged
goods.Secure packaged goods in an upright crate from tipping out. If this is not done, the packaged goods may be damaged and serious injuries may result.
▪ Check completeness of supplementary parts on the basis of the delivery
slip.

6.1 Commissioning the on-load tap-changer at the transformer manufacturer's site
WARNING
NOTICE
Flying parts and spraying of hot oil resulting from on-load tap­changer overload!
The on-load tap-changer can switch currents of up to twice the rated through-current. Higher currents occur when activating transformers (inrush current impulse) or in the event of short-circuits, for example. Higher volt­ages may occur due to transformer overexcitation following load shedding, for example.
Danger of death or severe injury due to flying parts and spraying of hot oil!
► Ensure that the on-load tap-changer is not overloaded.
► Prevent on-load tap-change operations if higher currents arise.
► Ensure that the rated step voltage is not exceeded. The rated step volt-
age may be briefly exceeded by up to 10% as long as the rated through­current is not exceeded.
► Ensure that the temperature limit values stated in the technical data are
not exceeded.
Damage to on-load tap-changer resulting from switching with­out oil!
Performing too many operations without a complete transformer oil fill will damage the on-load tap-changer!
► Do not perform more than 100 tap-change operations without a full oil fill.
► Only use emergency drive shaft to rectify faults [Section 8, Page 58]
and never operate with a drill.

Every on-load tap-changer has been specially designed by the manufacturer for the transformer in the respective purchase order and is subjected to strict tests and quality controls at the manufacturer’s factory.
However, joint operation of transformer and on-load tap-changer cannot be simulated by the manufacturer and cannot be tested on the on-load tap­changer alone.
For this reason, irregularities or malfunctions cannot be completely ruled out during the transformer test (i.e. testing the first joint operation of transformer and on-load tap-changer).
It is essential that you ensure only trained, instructed expert personnel who are familiar with and comply with the pertinent safety and technical regula­tions, who are aware of the potential risks, and who consistently use the oc­cupational safety equipment provided to prevent injury and property damage are assigned to perform such a transformer test.
Remove all leads used for testing before the high voltage test as these func­tion as antennas. Ensure that the clearance needed between bushings and motor-drive unit, including the connection cable, is observed at all times.

6.3 Commissioning transformer at operating site
6 Commissioning
WARNING
Flying parts and spraying of hot oil resulting from on-load tap­changer overload!
The on-load tap-changer can switch currents of up to twice the rated through-current. Higher currents occur when activating transformers (inrush current impulse) or in the event of short-circuits, for example. Higher volt­ages may occur due to transformer overexcitation following load shedding, for example.
Danger of death or severe injury due to flying parts and spraying of hot oil!
► Ensure that the on-load tap-changer is not overloaded.
► Prevent on-load tap-change operations if higher currents arise.
► Ensure that the rated step voltage is not exceeded. The rated step volt-
age may be briefly exceeded by up to 10% as long as the rated through­current is not exceeded.
► Ensure that the temperature limit values stated in the technical data are
not exceeded.
Before energizing the transformer, take the following steps, which are de­scribed in detail in the operating instructions for the ECOTAP® VPD® MD&C motor-drive unit:
1. Mount and connect motor-drive unit and control unit.
2. Commission motor-drive unit and control unit.
3. Carry out automatic adjustment and trial tap-change operations.
4. Check control parameters and automatic voltage regulation.
5. When operating with alternative insulating fluids, activate temperature blocking
NOTICE
6.3.1 Switching on the low-voltage busbar
Damage to the on-load tap-changer and transformer!
An inrush current impulse which has not fully subsided can damage the on­load tap-changer and transformer in the event of an on-load tap changing operation!
► Once the transformer has been switched on, ensure that the inrush cur-
rent impulse has fully subsided before undertaking an on-load tap chang­ing operation. The inrush current impulses are usually a multiple of the transformer rated current and can overload the on-load tap-changer dur­ing the diverter switch operation.
Once you have connected the control unit and undertaken trial tap-change operations, you can commission the low-voltage busbar as follows:
1. Move on-load tap-changer to mid-position.
®
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH 201954 6107891/02 ENECOTAP® VPD
Page 55
6 Commissioning
It may be a good idea to move the on-load tap-changer into a position other than the mid-position. This allows you to reduce the voltage differences be­tween the grids to be connected and thereby minimize the inrush current im­pulse.
2. On the control unit, set the desired operating mode by pressing the corre­sponding key:
- Auto mode: AVR AUTO
- Manual mode: AVR MANUAL
- Control via remote connection: EXTERNAL CONTROL.
3. Switch on the low-voltage busbar.
4. Once the transformer has been switched on, ensure that the inrush cur­rent impulse has subsided.
ð On-load tap-change operations can now be undertaken both when idling
and under load conditions.

11.4 Permitted voltage stresses
The specifications in this section only apply to use in mineral insulating oil in accordance with IEC 60296. Data for alternative insulating fluids is available on request.
This section describes the permitted voltage stresses on the tap winding and on-load tap-changer.
When selecting the on-load tap-changer, you must check that the highest stresses on the selector do not exceed the related rated withstand voltages.
Definition of insulation distances
a Between the beginning and the end of a tap winding and, for a coarse winding version, between the be-
ginning and the end of the coarse winding. Information for coarse tap selector connection in the (-) posi­tion of the change-over selector: When stressed with impulse voltage, the permissible withstand voltage "a" between the end of a coarse winding connected with the K tap selector contact and the tap selector contact at the end of the tap winding of the same phase must be adhered to.
a1 Between tap selector contacts of the winding of one tap position (connected or not connected)
2a1 Between the tap selector contacts of the winding across two tap positions (connected or not connected)
b Between the tap selector contacts of different phases and between change-over selector contacts of dif-
ferent phases which are connected with the beginning/end of a tap winding or with a tap selector con­tact. The permissible voltages between the contacts for tap-changers for delta connections depend on the positions of the change-over selector and tap selector. The different permissible withstand voltages b1, b2 or b3 must therefore be noted for an insulation distance:
b1 Between selected contacts for different phases
b2 From the selected contact of one phase to non-selected contacts of other phases
b3 Between non-selected contacts of different phases
f Between tap selector contacts and (+) change-over selector contacts to ground. Different values apply
for the delta connection version:
f1 Between take-off lead and ground and in (+) position of change-over selector between (+) change-over
selector contacts and ground
f2 Between non-selected tap selector contacts and in (-) position of change-over selector between (+) con-
tacts and ground.
Additionally for coarse tap selector connection in (+) position of the change-over selector:
c1 From one (-) change-over selector contact to take-off lead of the same phase
c2 Between (-) change-over selector contacts of different phases

11.5 Tapped winding potential connection
During its switching operation the tap winding is briefly electrically isolated from the main winding by the reversing change-over selector or coarse change-over selector. It then adopts a potential resulting from the voltages of the adjacent windings and coupling capacities for these windings or earthed parts.
This potential shift of the tap winding produces corresponding voltages be­tween the deactivating change-over selector contacts because one contact is always connected to the tap winding and the other contact is always con­nected to the main winding. This voltage is known as the recovery voltage UW.
When separating the change-over selector contacts, a capacitive current has to be interrupted. This current depends on the aforementioned coupling ca­pacities of the tap winding. This current is known as the breaking current IS.
The recovery voltage UW and breaking current IS may result in impermissible signs of discharge on the change-over selector. The permissible recovery voltage UW and breaking current IS ranges are listed below.
