3 Product description
This chapter contains an overview of the design and function of the product.
3.1 Scope of delivery

The product is packaged with protection against moisture and is delivered as
follows:
▪ Protective relay
▪ Operating instructions
▪ Supplements
▪ Dimensional drawing
Please note the following:

▪ Check the shipment for completeness on the basis of the shipping docu-
ments.
▪ Store the parts in a dry place until installation
▪ The product must remain in its airtight, protective wrapping and may on-
ly be removed immediately before installation
3.2 Function description

The protective relay is used to protect the on-load tap-changer and the
transformer when a malfunction occurs in the diverter switch oil compartment
or selector switch oil compartment. It is tripped when the specified speed of
oil flow from the on-load tap-changer head to the oil conservator is exceeded
due to a fault. The flowing oil actuates the flap valve which tips over into po-
sition OFF. The contact in the dry-reed magnetic switch is thereby actuated,
the circuit breakers are tripped, and the transformer is de-energized.
The protective relay is part of an oil-insulated on-load tap-changer and its

properties conform to the applicable valid version of IEC publication
60214-1. Therefore, it is part of the scope of our delivery.
Diverter switch operations at rated switching capacity or at permissible over-

load will not cause the protective relay to trip.
The protective relay responds to oil flow, not to gas accumulated in the pro-
tective relay. It is not necessary to bleed the protective relay when filling the
transformer with oil. Gas accumulation in the protective relay is normal.

4 Packaging, transport and storage
4.1 Packaging
The products are sometimes supplied with a sealed packaging and some-
times also dried depending on what is required.
A sealed packaging surrounds the packaged goods on all sides with plastic
foil. Products that have also been dried are identified by a yellow label on the
sealed packaging.
The information in the following sections should be applied as appropriate.
4.1.1 Suitability
NOTICE Property damage due to incorrectly stacked crates!

Stacking the crates incorrectly can lead to damage to the packaged goods!
► Only stack up to 2 equally sized crates on top of one another.
► Do not stack crates above a height of 1.5 m.
The packaging is suitable for undamaged and fully functional means of

transportation in compliance with local transportation laws and regulations.
The packaged goods are packed in a stable crate. This crate ensures that
when in the intended transportation position the packaged goods are stabi-
lized to prevent impermissible changes in position, and that none of the parts
touch the loading surface of the means of transport or touch the ground after
unloading.
4.1.2 Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

4.2 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
WARNING Danger of death and damage to property!

Danger of death and damage to property due to tipping or falling load!
► Transport crate only when closed.
► Do not remove the mounting material used in the crate during transport.
► Only trained and appointed persons may select the sling gear and se-
cure the load.
► Do not walk under the hanging load.
► Use means of transport and lifting gear with a sufficient carrying capaci-
ty in accordance with the weight stated on the delivery slip.
In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expected
during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping,
tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or expe-
riences an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type.
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport con-
tainer can be accessed from all sides.
Visible damage If external transport damage is detected on receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the transport damage found in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the sales department at Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen and
the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment
further and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision
has been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately onsite together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages!
▪ Photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This also ap-
plies to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture inside
the packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
▪ NOTICE! Be absolutely sure to also check the sealed packaging. If the
sealed packaging is damaged, do not under any circumstances install or
commission the packaged goods. Either dry the dried packaged goods
again as per the operating instructions for the relevant on-load tap-

changer/de-energized tap-changer or contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhau-

sen GmbH to agree on how to proceed with drying. If this is not done,
the packaged goods may be damaged.
▪ Name the damaged parts.
Hidden damage When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insur-
ance terms and conditions.
4.3 Storage of shipments
Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen
Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goods

dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and store
air-tight in dry insulating oil until used if the packaged goods were not sup-
plied in oil.
Non-dried packaged goods
Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can be

stored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting
snow and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and
against unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action af-
ter storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate
under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its
sealing function.

If the product is installed more than 6 months after delivery, suitable meas-
ures must be taken without delay. The following measures can be used:
▪ Correctly regenerate the drying agent and restore the sealed packaging.
▪ Unpack the packed goods and store in suitable storage space (well ven-
tilated, as dust-free as possible, humidity < 50 % where possible).
4.4 Unpacking shipments and checking for transportation

damages
▪ NOTICE! Transport the packaged crate to the place where installation
will take place. Do not open the sealed packaging until just before instal-
lation. If this is not done, damage to the packaged goods may occur due
to ineffectively sealed packaging.
▪ WARNING! When unpacking, check the condition of the packaged
goods.Secure packaged goods in an upright crate from tipping out. If
this is not done, the packaged goods may be damaged and serious inju-
ries may result.
▪ Check completeness of supplementary parts on the basis of the delivery
slip.

WARNING Danger of death or severe injury!

Danger of death or severe injury from explosive gases in the protective re-
lay, which accumulate during on-load tap-changer operation!
► Wait 15 minutes after switching off the transformer before you begin
further work on the protective relay so that the gases have a chance to
volatize.
► Ensure that there are no naked flames, hot surfaces or sparks (for ex-
ample caused by static charging) in the immediate surroundings and
that none occur.
► De-energize all auxiliary circuits before starting the work.
► Do not operate any electrical devices during the work (for example risk
of sparks caused by impact wrench).

6 Commissioning
6 Commissioning
Once you have checked that the protective device is working correctly, you
can continue by commissioning the transformer. Follow the description pro-
vided in the operating instructions for the on-load tap-changer or de-ener-
gized tap-changer.

7 Operation
7 Operation
The following chapter describes how to operate the protective relay.
7.1 Tripping of the protective relay and re-commissioning the

transformer
WARNING Danger of death or severe injury!

Danger of death or severe injury from explosive gases in the protective re-
lay, which accumulate during on-load tap-changer operation!
► Wait 15 minutes after switching off the transformer before you begin
further work on the protective relay so that the gases have a chance to
volatize.
that none occur.
► De-energize all auxiliary circuits before starting the work.
► Do not operate any electrical devices during the work (for example risk
of sparks caused by impact wrench).
WARNING Risk of severe injury or death!

Risk of severe injury or death if on-load tap-changer and transformer are in-
sufficiently tested!
► Be sure to contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen to check on-load tap-
changer and transformer after the protective relay has been tripped.
► Only use the equipment again when you are sure there is no damage to
the on-load tap-changer or transformer.
When the circuit breakers have been tripped by the protective relay, proceed
as follows:
1. Establish time of tripping.
2. Determine operating position of on-load tap-changer.
3. As a precaution, block the motor-drive unit by tripping the motor protec-
tive switch to prevent the on-load tap-changer from being actuated by
remote control.
4. Check the on-load tap-changer head cover. If oil is leaking, shut the oil
conservator stop valve immediately.
5. Check whether the flap valve of the protective relay is in the OFF or IN
SERVICE position.

7 Operation
7.1.1 Flap valve in IN SERVICE position

If the flap valve is in the IN SERVICE position, there may be a fault in the
tripping circuit. Check the tripping circuit in this case. If you are not able to
clarify why the protective relay tripped, be sure to contact Maschinenfabrik
Reinhausen to check the on-load tap-changer.
7.1.2 Flap valve in OFF position

If the flap valve is in the OFF position, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the transformer is not started up under any circumstances.
2. Contact and inform Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen of the following:
ð Serial number of protective relay and on-load tap-changer
ð What was the load of the transformer at the instant of tripping?
ð Was the on-load tap-changer moved immediately before or during
tripping?
ð Did any other protective devices of the transformer respond at the
instant of tripping?
ð Were switching operations in the network being carried out at the
instant of tripping?
ð Were overvoltages registered at the instant of tripping?
3. Take further action in agreement with Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
7.1.3 Re-commissioning the transformer

Once the reason for the protective relay tripping has been established and
remedied, you can re-commission the transformer:
1. Ensure that the flap valve is in the IN SERVICE position.
2. Commission the transformer.

8 Inspection and maintenance
8 Inspection and maintenance

DANGER Risk of life-threatening injury due to electric shock!
Electrical accidents have thermal and muscle-paralyzing effects which may
be fatal.
► Work on the device and system peripherals may only be undertaken by
qualified specialists, who are also familiar with the safety rules applica-
ble in electrical operating facilities.
WARNING Danger of death or severe injury from explosive gases during

maintenance work!
Danger of death from flying debris and spraying of hot oil if incorrect action
is taken when explosive gases accumulate under the transformer cover, in
the piping, in the oil conservator, and at the dehydrating breather opening!
that none occur.
► Only use conductive and grounded hoses, pipes, and pump equipment
that are approved for flammable liquids.
► Use suitable personal protective equipment/clothing.
► Observe applicable fire protection regulations.
► Ensure that the on-load tap-changer is fully submerged in oil again after
the maintenance.
► Ensure that all safety equipment is ready for use after the maintenance.
► Make sure that only trained technicians perform work on the transform-
er.
8.1 Inspection
Monitoring the on-load tap-changer and motor-drive unit is limited to occa-
sional visual checks of on-load tap-changer head, protective relay, and mo-
tor-drive unit. For efficiency reasons these visual checks can be combined
with the usual checks on the transformer.
Check the following:
Interval Action
annually Check coating of protective relay.
annually Check sealing points of protective
relay and connected pipes.
annually Check correct function of protective
relay.
