  • Patent number: 11875963
    Abstract: A device for connecting to a high-voltage grid carrying an AC voltage and having a plurality of phases, includes an active part having at least one phase connection for connecting to a phase of the high-voltage grid, at least one step winding connected downstream of one of the phase connections and having a plurality of taps, a tap changer having, for each step winding, a selector for currentlessly switching over from a current to a desired tap of the step winding, and a load changeover switch connected downstream of the selector in series for commutating the current from the current to the desired tap, for avoiding a high short-circuit current in the step winding or in the tap changer. An impedance unit, having an impedance to be switched between a low impedance and a high impedance, is disposed between each selector and each load changeover switch.
