An on-load tap changer for uninterrupted switching between different winding taps of a tapped transformer has a plurality of fixed selector contacts electrically connected with the individual winding taps, arranged in a line, and actuatable by two longitudinally displaceable movable selector contacts. Two vacuum interrupters serve for the uninterrupted switching of each phase. A motor drive actuates the on-load tap changer. The entire load changeover switch is arranged by a transmission module on the underside of a transformer cover.

A diverter switch is for an on-load tap-changer. The diverter switch includes: at least one vacuum interrupter; an actuating element, which is mechanically connected at a first end of the vacuum interrupter and has a roller at a second end; and an actuating body having a base body and having at least one cam. The vacuum interrupter is configured to be actuated via the actuating element as a result of the roller moving over the actuating body. At least one part of the cam has a higher strength than the base body.

The disclosure relates to a tap changer arranged to be connected to a regulating winding of a rated regulation voltage. The tap changer comprises a diverter switch, a tap selector and a set of tap changer contacts. The tap selector and the diverter switch are encapsulated in a shielding structure arranged to shield the tap selector and the diverter switch from an external electrical field, the shielding structure being arranged to be electrically connected to a connected tap of the regulating winding.

The disclosure further relates to transformer arrangement comprising at least one such tap changer.

An on-load tap changer head includes: a first region for an insulating fluid of the on-load tap changer to flow; a second region separated from the first region by a wall; and a detector for detecting an increased flow speed of the insulating fluid. The detector includes: a flow flap in the first region configured to tilt from a defined flow speed of the insulating fluid from a first position to a second position; a first magnet secured to the flap such that in the second position of the flow flap, the first magnet is in an immediate vicinity of the wall; a second magnet in the second region in the immediate vicinity of the wall; and a switch in the second region that is operationally coupled to the second magnet such that tilting over of the flow flap from the first position to the second position actuates the switch.

An isolated power converter and a hydrogen production system are provided. An electrical connection structure in the isolated power converter includes N secondary winding output bus bars, N rectifier circuit input bus bars, and a positive-negative bus bar, where N is greater than or equal to 1. A secondary winding may include M tapping points, and the secondary winding output bus bar and the rectifier circuit input bus bar that correspond to the secondary winding each include M copper bars that are insulated and stacked. The M tapping points of the secondary winding overlap the M copper bars of the secondary winding output bus bar at input ends of the M copper bars, respectively. The positive-negative bus bar includes two copper bars that are insulated and stacked.

The present invention relates to an On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC) for connection to a regulating winding of a transformer, the regulating winding enclosed in a transformer tank, wherein the transformer tank includes insulating liquid, the OLTC comprising: a switching device including: a main contact, and a resistor contact, wherein the main contact and the resistor contact are configured to be arranged directly in the insulating liquid and that they are configured to be physically separated from the insulating liquid, and wherein the main contact is enclosed in a main contact enclosure and the resistor contact is enclosed in a resistor contact enclosure. The present invention further relates to a transformer comprising the OLTC as disclosed herein.
