1. On load tap changer: For transformers with on load tap changer, the oil tank of the tap changer is generally not connected to the transformer oil tank. If there is a serious shortage of oil in the tap changer oil tank, a short circuit fault will occur during the tap changer switching, causing the tap changer to burn out. Therefore, during operation, the oil levels of the two oil tanks should be monitored separately to ensure that they are normal; The malfunction of the tap changer mechanism includes: due to jamming, the tap changer stopped in the process position, causing the tap changer to burn out; The oil tank of the tap changer is not tightly sealed, resulting in water seepage and oil leakage. After years of not conducting oil inspection and testing, the oil is dirty, and the insulation strength is greatly reduced, leading to faults; The adjustment of the branch switch switching mechanism is not good, causing the contact to burn out, and in severe cases, partial melting, leading to arcing and causing faults.


2. Off load tap changer: Due to prolonged contact with pressure, insufficient spring pressure and uneven roller pressure may occur, resulting in a decrease in the effective contact area of the tap changer's connecting part, as well as silver plating and detachment at the connecting part, causing the tap changer to heat up and damage during operation; Poor contact of the tap changer, poor connection and welding of the outgoing wires, and inability to withstand the impact of short-circuit current, resulting in the tap changer being burned out by short-circuit current and causing malfunction; Due to poor management, the tap changer was mishandled or the work was careless, resulting in tap changer accidents.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...
