8.14 OPERATIONAL CHECKS ON OLTC

Following checks should be carried out during pre-commissioning:

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING MANUAL Page 51 of 65

Before applying voltage to the transformer, the mechanical operation of tap changer and motor
drive for step by step operation to be checked as follows:
a) Manual operation: The tap changer has to be run manually by the hand crank through the total
operating cycle. In each operating position, the position indicators of motor drive and tap
changer (On TC head) show the same position.
b) Motor drive for step by step tap changing operation: Push button to be kept pressed till the
motor stops i.e. driving motor should be automatically switched off when the tap changer has
performed one switching operation.

(Note: At the time of change over selector operation (i.e. 9b to 10 & vice-versa), higher
torque is required. Tap changer end position should be checked that the same is not overrun to
avoid any failure during operation. Same can be seen through the inspection glass in the tap
changer head cover.
With the tap-changer fully assembled on the transformer the following sequence of
operations shall be performed:
a) With the transformer un-energized, one complete cycles of operations (a cycle of operation
goes from one end of the tapping range to the other, and bach again). Check continuity of
winding during this test. Ensure that the voltmeter does not deflect to Zero.
b) With the transformer un-energized, and with the auxiliary voltage reduced to 85% of its
rated valve, one complete cycle of operation.
c) With the transformer energized at rated voltage and frequency at no load, one complete
cycle of operation.

The following additional check points/guide lines for OLTC is recommended in consultation
with OLTC manufacturer to ensure the absence of problems and proper operation:
a) Function of control switches.
b) OLTC stopping on position.
c) Fastener tightness.
d) Signs of moisture such as rusting, oxidation or free standing water and leakages.
e) Mechanical clearances as specified by manufacturer’s instruction booklet.
f) Operation and condition of tap selector, changeover selector and arcing transfer switches.
g) Drive mechanism operation.
h) Counter operation, position indicator operation and its co-ordination with mechanism and tap
selector positions.

i) Limit switch operation.

j) Mechanical block integrity.
k) Proper operation of hand-crank and its interlock switch.
l) Physical condition of tap selector.
m) Freedom of movement of external shaft assembly.
n) Extent of arc erosion on stationary and moveable arcing contacts.
o) Inspect barrier board for tracking and cracking.
p) After filling with oil, manually crank throughout entire range.
q) Oil BDV and moisture content (PPM) to be measured and recorded (Min BDV should be 60kV
and moisture content should be less than 10 PPM).

The test format for the above test are enclosed in Annexure - XIV
