1. Introduction
The on-tank concept of on-load tap-changer, realized by ABB in the UZ range, is unique.
The design offers advantages in installation and maintenance. The whole device is delivered
installed in a tank that is simply mounted onto the transformer tank together with the motor-
drive mechanism.
In the event of an on-load tap-changer being delivered without a tank, the transformer
manufacturer will supply the tank. Appendix A includes a welding and mounting instruction.
It is easy to access all parts of the on-load tap-changer for maintenance and repair. After
draining the oil, you simply unbolt and open the front cover to access any part you may
need to inspect or replace.
