Overview
This part of DIN EN 60214 (VDE 0532) applies to on-load tap-changers of both resistor and reactor types, deenergized tap-changers, and their motor-drive mechanisms. It applies mainly to tap-changers immersed in mineral insulating oil according to IEC 60296 (VDE 0370-1) but may also be used for tap-changers with air or gas insulation or immersed in other insulating liquids insofar as conditions are applicable. It applies mainly to tap-changers with arcing contacts but may also be used for arcing-free onload tap-changers (such as electronic switching) insofar as conditions are applicable. This standard applies to power and distribution transformers of all types and also to reactors. The responsible committee is DKE/K 321 "Transformatoren" ("Transformers") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
