11.3 Maintenance
Maintenance of the motor-drive unit is not required. The condition of the mo-
tor-drive unit and its correct function must, however, be checked in accor-
dance with the section "Tests on the motor-drive unit" each time the on-load
tap-changer / de-energized tap-changer/ motor-drive unit is maintained.
Furthermore, certain components of the motor-drive unit (e.g. cam switches,
relays, contactors) have to be replaced every 1 million tap-change opera-
tions. Contact the Technical Service department of Maschinenfabrik Rein-
hausen GmbH for information regarding this.
