ABSTRACT
On-load tap changing transformers play importantroles inanymodernpower
system since they allow voltages to be maintained at desired levels despite
load changes. Traditionally, on-load tap changer is a complex mechanical
device, which has some deficiencies. On-load tap changer of a transformer is
presented, which can eliminate excessive conduction losses and suppress the
arcing in the diverter switch, which is inherent in traditional on-load
transformer tap changers. The OLTC provides uninterrupted voltage is
regulation of transformers under load. The transformer is equipped with a
tapped winding whose tapping's are connected with the tap selector of the
OLTC. Most of the current commercially available automatic voltage
regulators, just measure the low voltage side of the power transformer in
order to control OLTC position. In this to improvetap-changercontrolinorder
to perform properly also during a stressed situation in the 230/33 kV
regulating power transformer for the substation.
KEYWORDS: load changes, tap changer, diverter switch, voltage regulation,

1. INTRODUCTION
A tap changer is a mechanism in transformers which allows for variable turn
ratios to be selected in discretesteps.Transformerswiththis mechanismobtain
this variable turn ratio by connecting to a number of access points known as
taps along either the primary or secondary winding.
Thesesystemsusuallyposses33taps(oneatthecentre “Rated
tap and sixteen to increase and decrease the turn ratio)
and allow for ±8% variation (each step proving 1.65%
variation) from the nominal transformer rating which, in
turn, along for stepped voltage regulation of the output.
Tapchangersareoftenplacedonthehighvoltage(lowcurrent)
transformer winding for easy access and to minimize the
current load during operation.ON-LoadTapChange:Mostof
the Generating Station, Substation system having Power
Transformer with On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC). Not onlyin
Generating Station Transformer but also in Distribution
Class Transformer too. In this substation, there are three
windings; such as primary winding, secondary windingand
tertiary winding. Among them, we will neglect the tertiary
winding which is used for residential houses.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Transformers are essential for the transmission, distribution,
and utilizationofalternatingcurrentelectricalenergy.Inmore
technical terms, a power transformer is composed of two or
more windings which, by electromagnetic induction,
transform a system of alternating voltage and current into
another system of voltage and current for the purpose of
transmitting electrical power. Mainly the regulation of
voltage is achieved by altering the ratio of transformationby
tapping the winding, so as to alter the number of turns. The
process of altering the ratio of transformationbytappingthe
windings is termed as tapchanging.Tappingmay bechanged
mainly in two different ways; When the transformer is
disconnected from the supply,calledas, offload tap changing.
When the transformer is operating on load (without de-
energized), known as on-load tap changing. During offload
tap changing, the transformer is completely de-energized, in
order to avoid arcing at the point of breath.
The method of offload tap changing is not suitable for large
power supply systems. This system call for power
transformer with a voltage regulating winding, the tapping
of which are changed over under loaded condition by on-load
tap changer. The schemes employed for on-load tap changer
involved the use of more complicated and expensive tap
changingequipment.Assuch,powertransformerswithon-load
tap changing arrangement are larger in size, have a greater
height and consequently more costly compared to the
transformer of same output and voltage, but provided with
off-load tap changer. Due to the higher cost of the on-load
tap changer, normally small and medium rating of
transformers is provided with off-load tap changer. Larger
rating transformers are provided with on-load tap changer
because frequent discontinuity of powercannotbetolerated
by the power system network.

6. CONCLUSIONS
This thesis was intended for design calculation of OLTC
power transformer. OLTC theory, operation and example
application with Myaukpyin Substation is also described in
this thesis. Presently available technical solutions enable
the production of OLTCs that are reliable and meet thesame
life expectancy as transformers. At the percent time and for
the foreseeable future, the proper implementation of the
vacuum switching technology in OLTCs provides the best
formula of quality, reliability, and economy achievable a
maintenance-free design.

Distribution transformers -2.00 to 2.5 A/mm2 Power transformers - 2.3 to 3.5 A/mm2 Large transformers with forced -3 to 4.5 A/mm2 Area of the window Aw=L(D-d) Width of the window bw= (D-d)for various stepped core The overall length of the yoke, W= 2D+0.9d (for three-phase, three stepped) Area of yoke Ay 1.1to 1.15Ai Width of the yoke by= 0.9 d(for three stepped core) 4. SPECIFICATIONS TO DESIGN A design based on the following typical specifications. Rating -100MVA No. of phase -Three phase Frequency -50Hz Voltage ratio -230/33kV at no-load Percentage tapping -±8×1.65% No. of tapping -17 positions Connection -HV star, LV star Cooling -Oil natural air natural (ONAN) Type -Core type, cold-rolled silicon steel sheet Location -Outdoor 5. RESULT DATA OF ON LOAD TAP CHANGING TRANSFORMER Total iron losses =0.2 % (within limit) The iron losses in small transformer may be of the order of 0.5 to 1 % of rated output. In large and small transformers, iron losses should be within 0.2 to 0.5 % of rated output. Percentage no-load current =0.53% (within limit) The no-load current of a small transformer may be of the order of 3 to 5 percent of the rated current, whereas in medium transformers, it varies from 1 to 3 percent. In the case of large transformers, no-load current may be from0.5 to 2 percent of the rated current within the proper range. Tapping result Rated tap and sixteen to increase and decreasetheturnratio and allow for Rated tap and sixteen to increase and decrease the turn ratio and allow for ±8% variation (each step proving 1.65% variation) from the nominal transformer rating which, in turn, along for stepped voltage regulation of the output. Efficiency At full load (0.8 p.f) = 99% (within limit) At full load (unity) = 99% (within limit) At half load (0.8 p.f) = 98.8% (within limit) At ¾ load (0.8 p.f) = 99.2% (within limit) The efficiency of the small transformer may be of the order of 98%, whereas for medium and large transformer, its values are from 98.0 to 99.2%

CONCLUSIONS This thesis was intended for design calculation of OLTC power transformer. OLTC theory, operation and example application with Myaukpyin Substation is also described in this thesis. Presently available technical solutions enable the production of OLTCs that are reliable and meet thesame life expectancy as transformers. At the percent time and for the foreseeable future, the proper implementation of the vacuum switching technology in OLTCs provides the best formula of quality, reliability, and economy achievable a maintenance-free design. 7.
