The lifetime of the transformer is determined by the technical condition of its insulating system, in particular the solid cellulose-based insulation. It is well-known that the lifetime of the transformer is expressed by lifetime of paper, used for its insulation. Natural process of thermal degradation of the cellulose, taking place during the operation, mainly leading to the reduction of its fibers length, causes deterioration of insulation mechanical properties, and only in a small extent the decrease in electrical strength of oil impregnated paper.

If it is necessary to replace subsystems, we offer wide range of spare parts produced by our company. We can also supply reconditioned OLTC head of any type, to minimize switching off period of transformer. We provide necessary amount of oil to refill OLTC and all specialized tools used during technical inspection. The maintenance procedure is followed by measurements and recording of OLTC times and their divergences, conducted by digital diagnostic device.
General repairs include:
- demounting and cleaning of tap changer in workshop conditions
- replacement of springs
- replacement of moving and fixed contacts
- assembly and pre-regulation
- regulation of switching times and subsystems interaction
- mounting of tap changer in a transformer
We also offer repairs of the whole tap changers, including tap selector switching cage.
