engaged. The motor drive control shall be such that on initiation of a tap-change operation by means
of a control switch or push-button the tap-changer shall complete its movement from one service
position to an adjacent one irrespective of whether or not the control switch or push- button has been
operated continuously during the running time of the motor drive. Another operation shall only be
possible when the control switch or pushbutton has been released and the control system is again in the
rest position.

The tap-changer arrangement shall be such that a command to raise tap-numbers shall result in an
increase in the secondary voltage with constant voltage applied to the high voltage winding.

An overvoltage monitoring relay fed with line voltage from the voltage transformers on the low voltage
side of the transformer and set at 115% Un shall be used to prevent a "raise" operation if the
transformer voltage exceeds the set value.

The overvoltage relay mounted in the control cabinet in the control room shall operate an overvoltage
blocking contactor in the mechanism box whose contacts shall interrupt the motor circuit. Contacts
13

S53-13
directly in the motor circuit are required so that a "raise" operation of the motor is prevented during
overvoltage conditions even if the contacts of the "raise" contactor are stuck closed. If the overvoltage
blocking contactor interrupts the motor circuit during a tap-change operation then that tap-change may
be completed but any further raise operation shall be prevented until the overvoltage relay has re-set.

A facility for limiting the tapping range to prevent over-excitation shall be provided. It shall be possible
to select this limit on any of the extreme six taps.

Limit switches shall be provided to prevent over-running of the tap-change mechanism. These shall be
directly connected in the motor circuit. In addition mechanical end stops shall be fitted to prevent
over-running of the mechanism under any conditions. A counter shall be provided to indicate the
number of tap-change operations that have taken place.

A mechanical tap-position indicator shall be provided and it shall be visible from ground level through a

(1) signal tap position to the control cabinet in the control room.

(2) signal "out of step" under parallel operating conditions.

A Remote/Local switch shall be provided at the mechanism box to select either remote or local
operation. When this switch is turned to the Remote position control shall be passed to the control
cabinet in the control room. Control facilities as described in Specification S02, Chapter 6 on
Transformer Tap-changer Control shall be provided at the control cabinet.

Each transformer shall have a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) on the AC distribution cabinet through
which the 400/230V, 50 Hz supply to its tap-changer and temperature controls is passed. Separate
MCB's shall be provided at the mechanism box for protection of the motor and control circuits. If
equipment used in the control circuits is sensitive to the over-voltages which may occur on the power
circuit then an isolating transformer shall be interposed between circuits.

Each tap-changer mechanism box shall be fitted with an anti-condensation space heater (230V)
controlled by a humidistat with variable range. A lamp for illumination purposes controlled by a door
switch shall also be provided. Solar gain can give rise to high temperature within a mechanism box.
All equipment contained therein shall operate satisfactorily under these conditions.

About 10% spare terminals shall be provided in each mechanism box.

21. COOLING AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The banks of cooling radiators shall be detachable from the tank for transport and maintenance.
Shut-off valves shall be provided on the tanks of the transformers for this purpose. An air-vent and
draining plug shall be provided on each radiator bank. The external surfaces of the radiators shall be
hot-dip galvanised.

Temperature control equipment shall be housed in a local control kiosk mounted on the side of the
transformer. A dial thermometer shall be provided to indicate the temperature of the top oil in the
transformer. This thermometer shall be fitted in such a way that it can easily be read from ground level
through a window in the door of the kiosk. The thermometer shall be fitted with three adjustable
contacts, one suitable for switch-in of future cooling fans, one connected to give an alarm and one to
trip associated circuit breakers. It shall also be fitted with a maximum temperature pointer which shall
