Abstract: The invention relates to a switching arrangement (15) with a pre-selector (28) for a power transformer (10, 40) which has multiple windings (12, 14). The pre-selector is designed to optionally connect at least one first winding (12) to one of the two end contacts (30, 32) of at least one second winding (14). At least one first switch is arranged in the connection between the pre-selector (28) and the first winding (12), thereby allowing the pre-selector to be switched in an arc-free manner and thus in a gas-free manner as well.

A pre-selector can be switched in a largely gas-free manner by means of said switchable connection with the aid of the fine selector.

Abstract: An operational setting of an on-load tap changer used to switch between various winding taps of a tapped transformer is determined by first placing the on-load tap changer in operation with the tapped transformer and then moving the changer in a first rotational direction through a regulating range of its stationary operational settings on different winding taps of the tapped transformer toward an end abutment of the tapped transformer. The position is registered on reaching the end abutment of the regulating range of the on-load tap changer, and then the movement is reversed to return to the first stationary operational setting that is then configured as a predefined operational setting with the help of the parameterization that is stored in a nonvolatile memory of the control device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring an on-load tap changer that is used to switch between winding taps of a tapped transformer without interrupting the load current and is actuated using a motor drive. According to the invention, prior to the actual load switching process, the on-load tap changer is initially moved a short distance, preferably against the direction in which the load is subsequently switched. In said initial process, it is verified whether the on-load tap changer has moved, i.e. has left its previous stationary position, and/or whether the torque on the motor drive has exceeded a predefined threshold value. The actual load switching process takes place only once the test has yielded a positive result.
