How to adjust the tap changer of 250kva dry type transformer
In general, transformers have two types of voltage regulation with three taps and five taps, and each tap can adjust the voltage by 0.5kV. When installing a transformer, changing the position of the tap changer can alter the number of turns in the transformer windings, thereby changing the output voltage. Common transformers have a primary voltage of 10kV and a secondary voltage of 0.4kV. For a three-tap distribution transformer, Tap 1 is 10.5kV, Tap 2 is 10kV, and Tap 3 is 9.5kV, and it is usually set at Tap 2.
The operating steps for adjusting the tap changer are as follows:
- First, cut off the power, disconnect the transformer load, use an insulating rod to open the high-voltage drop-out fuse, then take necessary safety measures, unscrew the protective cover of the transformer’s tap changer, and place the positioning pin in the neutral position.
- When adjusting the tap, according to the level of the output voltage, adjust the tap changer to the corresponding position. When the voltage is too low, adjust to the low-voltage tap; when the voltage is too high, adjust to the high-voltage tap.
- After adjusting the tap, use a DC bridge to measure the DC resistance of each phase winding and check whether the DC resistance between each winding is balanced. If the resistance difference between each phase is greater than 2%, re-adjustment is required. Otherwise, the moving and static contacts will heat up or even discharge due to poor contact, damaging the transformer.
