MR type R switch 4 resistors
Example Canada 3.4 and 6 Ohms Phase shifting transformer 840 MVA 240kV
MCa - Main contact (copper) opening
First region MSCa - Main switching contact opens
Adding resistance – current drops
Second region – subtracting turns TCa2 - Transition contact closes Connecting onto the contact at “potential” and lower resistance
UP
Second region – adding turns Connecting onto the contact with potential at lower resistance
DOWN
Third region
Fourth
Fifth
Recovery
Main contact = b
Influence of L More or less turns Phase shifter
More turns
Less turns 4 th segment influenced
OLTC problem ? 890MVA 500kV/25kV Malaysia
Nameplate 2 type R OLTCs in parallel
Type R – two resistors sequence
Nameplate Double tap changer windings in parallel Y connected Fine-coarse regulation
Double time on ODD transitions Transition 100mSec
Good time on EVEN transitions Transition 40mSec
Complete test – up and down
Is it because two parallel windings and two parallel OLTCS tested at the same time?
