Work area
Untidy and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents.
▪ Keep the work area clean and tidy.
▪ Make sure that the work area is well lit.
▪ Observe the applicable laws for accident prevention in the relevant coun-
try.
Protection against electric shock
If the terminal box cover of the protective relay hangs from the wire on the
side of the enclosure, this can lead to damage to the wires. This poses a
danger to life and limb.
▪ Always remove the terminal box cover with wire from the protective relay
for any work which involves opening the protective relay.
▪ Remove the slotted head screw for potential tie-in and remove the termi-
nal box cover with wire.
Working during operation
The product may only be operated in a sound, operational condition. Otherwise it poses a danger to life and limb.
▪ Regularly check the operational reliability of safety equipment.
▪ Comply with the inspection work, maintenance work and maintenance in-
tervals described in this technical file.
Explosion protection
Highly flammable or explosive gases, vapors and dusts can cause serious
explosions and fire. This increases the danger to life and limb.
▪ Do not install, operate or perform maintenance work on the product in ar-
Warning signs and safety information plates are safety markings on the
product. They are an important aspect of the safety concept.
▪ Observe all safety markings on the product.
▪ Make sure all safety markings on the product remain intact and legible.

3.2 Function description
The protective relay is looped into the circuit breaker tripping circuit, thus
protecting the on-load tap-changer and transformer in the event of a fault
within the on-load tap-changer oil compartment. It is tripped when the specified speed of flow from the on-load tap-changer head to the oil conservator
is exceeded due to a fault. The flowing insulating fluid actuates the flap valve
which tips over into position OFF. The contact in the dry-reed magnetic
switch is thereby actuated, the circuit breakers are tripped, and the transformer is de-energized.
The protective relay is a component of an on-load tap-changer filled with insulating fluid and its properties conform to the respective applicable version
of IEC publication 60214-1.
Diverter switch operations at rated switching capacity or at permissible overload will not cause the protective relay to trip.
The protective relay responds to flow, not to gas accumulated in the protective relay. It is not necessary to bleed the protective relay when filling the
transformer with insulating fluid. Gas accumulation in the protective relay is
normal.
