8.1 Dismantling before Transport
The on-load tap-changer is usually transported without accessories (pressure relay,
motor-drive mechanism, bevel gear and drive shafts) to prevent damage to them. To
make sure that everything is set up properly on site with a minimum of work, it is
important to put the on-load tap-changer in the position and operated from the
position given in the single-phase diagram delivered with the unit and fit locking devices
properly during dismantling in the transformer factory. Dismantling of motor-drive
mechanism and drive shafts is done in the opposite order of assembly.
8.1.1 Dismantling Preparations
NOTE:
Before dismantling, mark the details to facilitate identification.
Check the disc brake in the motor-drive mechanism. Use the hand crank to adjust the
position so the red mark on the brake disc, exactly matches the mark on the brake pad
assembly, see Fig. 39. Install the locking device on the motor-drive mechanism, see Fig.
43.
1. If the horizontal shaft should be dismantled: See Fig. 40.
Loosen the hose clips holding the protection tubes to the bevel gears. Push one of
the protective tubes into the other. Loosen the screws holding the coupling halves
in one end of the shaft and detach them. Detach the horizontal shaft. Mark the
details.
Remount the locking device on the bevel gear of the diverter switch housing,
see Fig. 42a.
2. If the vertical shaft should be dismantled: See Fig. 40.
Loosen the hose clips holding the protective tubes to the bevel gear and Motor-
Drive Mechanism. Push one of the protective tubes into the other. Detach the screws
holding the bevel gear. Detach the bevel gear by carefully lifting it off the shaft
while holding the vertical shaft. Detach the vertical shaft including protective
tubes by lifting it off the coupling of the motor-drive mechanism.
3. Pack screws, clamps, protective tubes, shafts, hose clips, protection cover,
coupling halves, bevel gear and seals for transportation to site.
4. If the pressure relay should be dismantled, see Fig. 44.
Remove the electrical connection to the pressure relay and loosen the nuts.
Remove the pressure relay and put it back in the delivery package. Mount the
O-ring and the cover. Tighten the nuts.
5. If other accessories are to be dismantled of transport reasons, pack them back in
the packages they were delivered in and put back the transport covers. Mount the
O-rings and tighten the nuts.
