Tap-changer know-how: Hermetical sealing of transformers and tap-changers

Rainer Frotscher ; Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen, Germany

Abstract

Oil-filled electrical apparatus must be able to handle a certain thermal expansion of the oil, which is caused by varying oil temperatures due to load changes and/or fluctuations in ambient temperature. This article provides an overview of sealing methods for transformers and tap-changers, discussing also appropriate tap-changer protection techniques.
