DIAGNOSIS OIL ANALYSIS Oil analysis for transformers and on-load tap-changers I The Duval Triangle exists for on-load tap-changers, but oil analysis is only informative for VACUTAP OLTCs (arcing in vacuum interrupters) I We are familiar with typical gas patterns for VACUTAP on-load tap-changers (resistor and reactor) and the influencing factors (load, number of switching operations, oil temperature) I Carbon monoxide is an indicator for thermal overload and, together with hydrogen, an indicator for oil degradation A Messko DGA sensor for this purpose is being launched on the market in 2013 I All analyses by Messko PrimeLab oil laboratory. An oil collection kit is also available. Duval Triangle for on-load tap-changers not measurable Typical gas pattern for "VM" vacuum onload tap-changers without acetylene Page 6

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR OILTAP I TYPE ON-LOAD TAP-CHANGERS Why is maintenance necessary? I Wear on mechanical components such as energy accumulator springs (depending on type and number of switching operations) I Contact wear or wear difference between switching contacts and resistor contacts(depending on material, load current and the number of switching operations) I Carbon build-up in insulating oil caused by arcing I Electric strength of the insulating oil in the on-load tap-changer (both dependent on the load current and number of switching operations) OILTAP M: energy accumulator spring (top) worn contact (bottom left) good-asnew contact (bottom right) The criteria for when an on-load tap-changer requires maintenance are the number of tap-change operations and a time interval, whichever comes first Page 9
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR OILTAP II TYPE ON-LOAD TAP-CHANGERS Scope of maintenance I Removal and installation of the diverter switch insert I Cleaning and inspection of mechanical equipment I Visual inspection of insulation distance of the diverter switch insert and oil compartment I Part replacement (such as springs or sets of contacts) including a diverter switch insert update I Replacement of switching oil (new oil with electric strength of > 50 kv/2.5 mm, in accordance with IEC 60156) I Determining contact wear I Measuring transition resistors I Checking the motor-drive unit, drive shaft and protective relay I Function test "D" tap changer maintenance in Brazil Transition resistors/contact wear measurement Page 10
