Abstract: An on-load tap changer has: a first selector rod and a second selector rod; a load changeover-switch rod; a switch; and a transmission. The first selector rod, the second selector rod and the load changeover-switch rod are arranged collinearly. The transmission is configured to: move the first selector rod and the second selector rod during changeover from one selector contact to an adjacent selector contact in a first direction; and move the load changeover-switch rod during the changeover in the first direction and a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, so as to actuate the switch.

Abstract: A resistor assembly can be used in a tap changer. The resistor assembly may include: a resistor element, which is held by at least two resistor holders; a base plate with at least one opening and on which the at least two resistor holders holding the resistor element are arranged; a plurality of guides, respectively formed in each of the resistor holders and being configured to position a first end and a second end of the resistor element with respect to a longitudinal direction between the two resistor holders; and contact points of the resistor element, the contact points being electrically contacted by contacts of the tap changer in a condition where the resistor element is inserted into the resistor holder.
