*Qualified for 1 PDU by Professional Engineers Board (PEB) of Singapore
On-load tap changers (OLTC) play a vital role in regulating the voltage level in the electrical grid. Depending on the load, the transformer turns ratio has to be adapted during operation by the OLTC. These mechanical switching operations can lead to wear and tear of the tap changer contacts over time. Vibro-Acoustic Measurement is the new approach implemented in TESTRANO 600 to assess the condition of OLTC under online and/or offline conditions. Utilizing both Dynamic Resistance Measurement (DRM) and Vibro-Acoustic Measurement (VAM) helps in performing an overall in-depth OLTC diagnostics where DRM helps in analyzing the changes in electrical characteristics while VAM focuses on the unique mechanical vibration patterns during the switching process.
