Abstract

See full text

An on-load tap changer that includes an actuator configured to adjust a turn ratio of the transformer, and a processing unit configured to control the actuator and to communicate with a control device via a digital signal connection. The processing unit is further configured to receive a status detected by a sensor. A method of manufacturing the on-load tap changer is also disclosed. Embodiments according to the present disclosure provide a digitalized on-load tap changer that allows various statuses to be monitored or controlled, by which various advantages can be achieved. For example, the life of a contact of the transformer can be predicted. Other data can be used to determine whether it is safe to adjust the contact of the transformer. Moreover, the optical fibers between the on-load tap changer and an external device enable an isolated transmission of control and data signals that almost eliminates interferences.
