Preface
The Monitoring relay for tap changers, also named protection relay for tap changers or oil flow relay, is a monitoring relay for oil-insulated tap changers. It protects the tap changer and the transformer from damage. On response the monitoring relay will generate a signal disconnecting immediately the tap changer and the transformer from the source of supply. The company has had for more than 40 years experience in producing Monitoring relays and other protection devices for liquid-cooled appliances. It ranks among the most distinguished manufacturers of this kind of equipment. Experiences collected and profound know-how are the sound basis for a high product quality. References from reputed transformer and tap changer manufacturers as well as further users are proof of the high level of the products. The company is DIN EN ISO 9001/2000 certified. The staff of highly qualified engineers and experienced skilled workers do their best to guarantee top quality high-precision products.. The mechanical working of the casings is done on modern CNC-controlled machine tools. The final tests, where all the functions of the Monitoring relays are checked, are done with each device by using special test equipment. Each device is delivered with a test certificate.

1. Design features Casing (Figure 1)

The casing is a weather-resistant casting of light alloy and is provided with a paint coat. To check the switching system for proper function, the casing is provided with inspection glasses arranged opposite each other, protected by hinged lids (1).

Cover (Figure 2)
The cover is a weather-resistant casting of light alloy and is provided with a paint coat. Terminal box, test and reset button (1), covered by a cap nut as well as a bleeder screw (2) are arranged above the cover. The terminal box has an earthing contact (3) and the electrical connectors (4). By means of a removable cap (5) the terminal box is safe to touch and protected against pollution. The cable is to be brought in the terminal box through the cable gland (6).

Switchgear (Figure 3)
The switchgear has the following main components: Switching system Carrier, frame Mechanical testing device. The switching system consists of the following components: damper (1) switching magnet(s) (2) magnet contact tube(s) (3) 2 1

The damper is retained in its normal and response positions by permanent magnets. Via a link the switching magnet is firmly connected with the damper and initiates the contact-making process of the magnet contact tube at a certain oil flow.

The Monitoring relay has to be mounted into the pipe leading from the tap changer head to the oil conservator located as near as possible to the tap changer head. Due to the working method of the tap changer there is gas inside the gas collecting dom of the device. In case of oil flow the Monitoring relay responds as follows: Fault : An incident generates an oil flow in the direction of the conservator. Response: The liquid flow reaches the damper arranged in the liquid flow. If the flow rate exceeds the operating threshold of the damper, the latter moves in flow direction. Due to this movement a switch contact is actuated. For that the tap changer and the transformer are disconnected. Figure :4 : principle of working method of the damper
