Product descriptions from the supplier
General
The hazards associated with manual internal tap changing of distribution transformers with its Cooper Power™ series 150 A externally operated tap-changer switch because line crews need not be exposed to high voltage conductors and hot transformer fluids.
Tap-changer switches eliminate the need to dismount pole-type transformers for voltage adjustment and exposure of the transformer tank interior to contamination. They are designed for use in distribution transformers filled with transformer oil, Envirotemp™ FR3™ fluid, or an approved equivalent.
Tap-changer switches are available with five or seven switch positions, and for sidewall- or covermounted applications. The switch body, rotor, and shaft are made of a high-strength glass-filled polyester material. The operating shaft is sealed against leakage by two high temperature resistant Viton® O-rings. The tapered gasket seal controls compression and prevents overtightening.
The tap-changer switch is keyed to the tank wall to prevent switch body movement during switching. Switch positions are easily changed by pulling out the spring-loaded handle, turning it to the desired position, and allowing the pointer to drop into the slotted index plate. The pad-lockable operating handle provides greater leverage, can be operated by hand and has a lock screw. The easy to read raised white letters on the black index plate clearly identify switch position.
All copper, low resistance, pinch-type contacts provide self-wiping connections. For ease of connection, bolt tabs, bolt tabs with 1/4-20 stud, 16-14 AWG, 12-10 AWG, 8 AWG or 6 AWG crimp terminals are available. Switches with crimp terminals have additional inboard tapped holes for making separate ring tongue terminal connections without changing switch contacts. All terminals have hex recesses to hold 7/16 inch hex bolt heads of standard 1/4 inch hardware for fast, easy connections.

Why Can't VT Be Shorted & CT Be Opened? ExplainedWe all know that a voltage transformer (VT) must never operate short-circuited, while a current transformer (CT) must never operate open-circuited. Short-circuiting a VT or opening the circuit of a CT will damage the transformer or create hazardous conditions.From a theoretical standpoint, both VTs and CTs are transformers; the difference lies in the parameters they are designed to measure. So why, despite being fundamentally the same type of device, is one prohibited from short-circuit operatioEcho10/22/2025 -
Why Are Voltage Transformers Burning Out? Find the Real CausesIn power circuits, voltage transformers (VTs) are often damaged or burned out. If the root cause is not identified and only the transformer is replaced, the new unit may quickly fail again, disrupting power supply to users. Therefore, the following checks should be performed to determine the cause of VT failure: If the voltage transformer has ruptured and oil residue is found on the silicon steel laminations, the damage was likely caused by ferroresonance. This occurs when unbalanced voltages orFelix Spark10/22/2025 -

How to Safely Operate & Maintain Current Transformers?I. Permissible Operating Conditions for Current Transformers Rated Output Capacity: Current transformers (CTs) must operate within the rated output capacity specified on their nameplate. Operation beyond this rating reduces accuracy, increases measurement errors, and causes inaccurate meter readings, similar to voltage transformers. Primary Side Current: The primary current may continuously operate up to 1.1 times the rated current. Prolonged overload operation increases measurement errors and mFelix Spark10/22/2025 -
How to Operate & Maintain Voltage Transformers Safely?I. Normal Operation of Voltage Transformers A voltage transformer (VT) may operate long-term at its rated capacity, but under no circumstances should it exceed its maximum capacity. The secondary winding of a VT supplies high-impedance instruments, resulting in a very small secondary current, nearly equal to the magnetizing current. The voltage drops across the leakage impedances of both primary and secondary windings are therefore very small, meaning the VT operates close to no-load under normaEdwiin10/22/2025 -
