2.1 Housing (fig. 1: front view

fig. 2: rear view)
The housing consists of corrosion-proof light-metal and is
provided with flanges for the connection of pipes leading to
the tap-changer head and to the oil conservator.
An inspection window is located on the front side of the
housing to check the flap valve position.
The terminals of the reed switch are housed in a terminal
box, sealed from the oil chamber of the relay by oil-tight
seals. The terminal box is ventilated by a covered opening.
In addition, two test buttons in the terminal box serve for
checking the tripping function of the protective relay as well 1 KHW 848-4.1

as for resetting the flap valve.

The terminals are protected by a clear plastic screen.

For entering the leads use the thread-hole at the most
suitable side of the terminal box. Fit the cable gland and
close the other hole by the blind screw. The cable gland is
adequate for leads with an outside dia. of 10 ...19 mm.

When the circuit breakers have been tripped by the protec-

tive relay, proceed as follows:
• Determine the instant of tripping.
• Determine the operating position of the on-load tap-
changer.
• As a precaution, block the motor-drive by tripping the
motor protective switch to prevent the on-load tap-
changer being actuated by remote control.
• Examine the on-load tap-changer cover. If oil leaks out,
shut the oil conservator stop valve immediately.
• Check the flap valve of the protective relay if it is in
position "OFF" or in position "IN SERVICE".
