3. Drying

Drying of the on-load tap-changer is normally not required, see section 2.2, step 6. 

The following temperatures and pressures between the on-load tap-changer tank and the 
transformer tank are allowed when drying:

Pressure

Standard on-load tap-changer

On-load tap-changer with reinforced 
barrier

Zero

Up to 115 °C (239 °F) on the 

transformer side.

Up to 90 °C (194 °F) inside the tank.

Up to 115 °C (239 °F) on the 

transformer side. 

Up to 90 °C (194 °F) inside the tank.

Up to 100 kPa

Up to 60 °C (140 °F).

Up to 90 °C (194 °F).

100–150 kPa

Not allowed.

Up to 60 °C (140 °F).

The temperature inside the motor drive cabinet must not exceed 70 °C (158 °F).
During or after drying the on-load tap-changer must not be operated until it has been filled 

with oil. The motor-drive mechanism should not be included in a vacuum process, as the 
process would remove the grease necessary for operation.
