On-load tap-changers are used to adjust the desired tap of a tap winding under load.
The on-load tap-changer is based on the high-speed resistor-type tapchanger principle and uses vacuum cells to change the tap position under
load. In this process, the arc is extinguished while isolated in a vacuum cell,
preventing contaminants from entering the oil.

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.

5.1 Fastening on-load tap-changer to transformer cover
NOTICE
Damage to the on-load tap-changer and transformer!
Damage to on-load tap-changer and transformer due to electrical flashover
caused by insufficient distance from the motor-drive unit!
► When positioning the opening in the transformer, ensure a sufficient dis-
tance from adjacent energized parts.
Mount the on-load tap-changer horizontally with the sealing module on the
transformer cover.
Do not paint the surface on the underside of the transformer cover, which
later makes contact with the sealing module's o-ring. Only one coating of
primer is permitted.
1. Make opening for sealing module and holes for fixing screws in the transformer cover. The measurements and position can be found in the dimensional drawing in the appendix.
2. Clean sealing surfaces on sealing module and underside of transformer
cover. Insert O-ring supplied in sealing module.
3. CAUTION! Gradually tighten screws crosswise as described below
without warping or deforming. Improper screw connection will result in
damage to the on-load tap-changer.
4. Guide on-load tap-changer from below through the opening in the transformer cover.
5. Evenly tighten screws crosswise by hand. Tighten screws crosswise with
a pre-tightening torque of 9 Nm.
6. Check seat of flange and seal for regularity.
7. Tighten screws crosswise with the full tightening torque of 16 Nm.
8. Tighten screws again with full tightening torque, working clockwise and
tightening one screw after another as far as each screw will go.
NOTICE
5.1.1 Attaching the ECOTAP® VPD® III
Damage to the on-load tap-changer and transformer!
The on-load tap-changer may only be operated in transformers that are
completely filled with insulating fluid. Non-compliance may result in voltage
flashovers that cause serious damage to the on-load tap-changer and transformer.
► Use in hermetic transformers with a gas cushion below the transformer
cover is only permitted with an appropriate special design.
