Introduction
The purpose of establishing standards for tap changers is to create a set of optimal evaluation criteria for tap changers, guiding the selection of production materials, etc.
This provides guidance on precautions for product design, production, inspection, selection, and operation and maintenance. GB/T 10230 the aim is to establish guiding principles and relevant rules applicable to the design, manufacture, testing methods, operation and maintenance of tap changers, and it is proposed that these be implemented by two departments.
Composition.
---Part 1: Performance Requirements and Test Methods. The purpose is to establish applicable standards for the design, manufacture, and production testing of various tap changers.
The general principles and relevant rules that need to be followed.
---Part 2: Application Guidelines. The purpose is to further expand the technical content of various tap changers and to guide the selection of tap changers.
Provide guidance on selection and application.
GB/T 10230 clarifies the technical requirements and test items for various tap changer products in two parts, and provides specific test details.
Procedures, testing methods, and operational guidelines. By establishing clear scope, terminology, technical requirements, and testing methods for various products, manufacturers and...
Users and related testing personnel can operate the equipment clearly and accurately, thereby designing and manufacturing high-quality products and promoting trade, exchange, and technology.
Technical cooperation will ensure the normal operation of transformer products.
This document provides recommendations for tap changer manufacturers, transformer manufacturers, and end users. When using this document, consider tap changers...
The manufacturer's recommendations and instructions shall prevail.
These recommendations apply to typical tap changers in production at the time this document was published. However, much of the information also applies to earlier designs.
It should be emphasized that the responsibility of the transformer manufacturer lies in correctly connecting the assembled tap changer to the transformer.
