Lower life cycle costs, less maintenance needs, and increased time in
operation because of a radical reduction in contact wear.
where in the reactor type OLTC a preventive auto transformer will be used as
transition impedance.
6. Does the OLTC used in the HVDC network transformer needs special
care?
Yes, the OLTC needs a special care because the transformer in the HVDC station
including the OLTC is subjected to winding currents that more resemble square
waves than sinusoidal waves due to the effect of converter system. These
square waves have a large impact on the switching stress which has to be
controlled by diverter switch.
7. Does the Buchholz relay and Oil surge relay works in a same principle?
No, Buchholz relay and Oil surge relay works in a different principle. Buchholz
relay is gas operated relay which is actuated by the gases flowing through and
accumulated in buchholz relay. Oil surge relay is actuated when the flow rate of
oil exceeds the preset value.
